I set up some zip lines to some hard to reach mountain shelters and went to bed last night. Logged in today and not a single person has used them. Then I realized that I've never once seen another persons zip lines either, do I need to go further in the story? There's no way I'm the only person this far in the game that's playing around with them.

Equipment usage (especially ziplines) is kind of weird. Really seems if you don’t build ziplines you’ll never find ziplines and they were the site improvement that seemed to lag the most.

Or maybe I just stranded via the social options to people who love vehicles and bridges (always everywhere) more than ziplines.

I have a network across almost the entire mountains that is barely or rarely used except by my self. Some pretty handy but generic zipline in the earlier part of the game gets me thousands of likes.

the combat looks dope as hell but, well, FF15's combat looked really cool but felt completely uncontrollable, so we'll have to see how that goes

I thought it looked generic as well, but I am also playing through FF12 for the first time and everything is so colorful. The dragoon looked sweet but uninspiring. Well its attacks were cool at least. Didn't see any other races outside humans in the trailer as well.

Story wise it kind of looks like (speculation) they are going all dark and edgy and gonna have two protagonists fight each other in the end? Personally I would like to see a strong antagonist ala Kefka or Sephiroth. But then who knows how early this is in development?

I really hope the combat is derivative of FF7R, I think they have a good thing going there. The combat with air juggling is giving me DMC vibes. I do admit I skipped FF15 so I don't know if it's similar. I played the demo, didn't finish it.

And does the phrase "The legacy of the crystals has shaped our history for long enough" have a double meaning? Is this the end of FF as we know or grew up with?

FF14's story is essentially boiling down to "crystals? are actually evil" so this is just the same thing being retrod by the same director (well, the FF14 director is producing FF16 but same thing)

I thought I was in the the Great Outdoors thread for a second and thought “oh cool, yet another goon zipline project; surely this one won’t be designed to kill children” until I realized you were talking about Death Stranding.

I have to say RDR2 is the first open-world game where I’ve actually wanted to explore every inch of the world and do all the side quests. GTAV never really gelled with me because it just seemed like it was too much to handle or do, but RDR2 has just had like the perfect pace for me.

On the other side of the spectrum, I’m also doing another play through of Doom Eternal and am thoroughly enjoying ripping and tearing until I’m done finding all of the collectibles and secrets.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Okay, I've followed a lot of talk about the launch in the German goon discord, and assumed this was mostly a failed launch from a business perspective, with availability, order handling and supply being hosed up. But I'm starting to think that there was some public presentation that also went horribly awry, like the Cyber truck or whatever.

Do y'all at least have link?

Pretty much. They were on sale for a little under a second. a lot of people managed to snatch like 10-15 of them via running bots via VPNs and poo poo, even though there was a "hard cap" of 2 per user.

Currently the preorders are going for ~$2000-2500 on Ebay, but Nvidia is going through and hand reviewing each order and cancelling ones that were ordered by bots.

PS5 sale went much the same way by the way, but Sony is highly unlikely to cancel scalper orders because Sony doesn't give a poo poo.

I'm happy with my 2080 FE for now, but since I play at 3440x1440, a 3080 would be quite a meaningful performance upgrade for me since I'm GPU bound in most games.

Yeah I thought I had one at the Nvidia site but I guess that was fake news because after an hour of clicking the “check out” button it just got removed from my cart.

Word’s still out on whether or not everything got botted or nobody had significant stock in the first place. Probably both. I checked Best Buy around 6am and and all the cards just instantly switched from “unavailable” to “out of stock” between refreshes.

Nvidia didn’t do poo poo to stop botting. There wasn’t even a captcha.

Yeah this morning I had them in cart multiple times at Best Buy and Newegg and every single time there would be some error and it wouldn't go through.

Oh well, it's not a dire need, I'll pick one up in a few months whenever they're more readily available.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
Haven't had as much time to play the past few days but I made it to Mountain Knot City, took the truck through the mountains to get there.







Continued rebuilding roads and adding to my zipline network.





The local weather man had an allergic reaction so of course I had to rush 120 kg of medication up the mountain to him. With the zipline network it took 5 minutes.



I might be crazy but I think all the chiral gold cosmetic options are also more durable than standard colors like the unique chiral items are. My chiral gold truck definitely seems to erode slower than when it was red.

Nostalgia4Butts
Jun 1, 2006

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

yes

also if you max out someone you get chiral boots which last a lil longer, helpful when you have to climb the rockies behind mountain knot


roads are a really good focus along with getting everyone to at least 4 stars. I five'd everyone and stole every ceramic piece i could from every shared locker and prepper while building a zipline network to everyone and taking time to punch mules out because its super fun clearing them out, especially when you get more tools.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
The terrorist group Homo Demens has armed the local cargo cultists with shotguns, assault rifles and body armor. I found this out the hard way.

Still managed to escape with a ton of their ceramic.

Sam is a man of peace, he uses only non-lethal weapons.



Not pictured behind the tent: a squad in body armor immune to rubber bullets and a truck full of reinforcements. Nailed one in the head and you can see his silhouette behind the rock on the left.



Found out they also had shotguns as they got closer.



I like how all of his animations have animated facial expressions despite the fact you almost never see his face up close outside of cutscenes.



Keep on keeping on.
