FFXIV: Can you not turn off the tiny achievements notification thing showing up all the time All I’ve found from googling is people from four years ago complaining about it

speaking of blue mage, why is the blue mage class in ff14 a worthless joke sideclass thing, not something you can actually beat the main game with like other classes.

There's only ever been maybe 2 good Blue Mages in Final Fantasy and they're both on the SNES. You can count Catmancer from Bravely Second if you want.

blue mage seems like it should be the default main character job.

For reals, if they made Blue Mage a normal job say goodbye to learning spells from enemies besides quest rewards to keep the balance, also no fun weird spells like Self-destruct or Level 5 Death. If they kept the learning spells you'd be swarmed with people running content with only 1 spell or every optional spell would be boring because they can't keep core kit features optional. But most importantly, if I lost my easy button for doing weeklies I'll make sure your favourite job gets simplified than an Endwalker Summonner.

doing the old raids as blue mage for the various rewards they added is kind of neat. none of the blue mage setups are particularly hard to play exactly, but they're paced different and require some planning/pacing that isn't really part of the 'real' battle classes.

FF14: I went back home to Gridania cause they needed my help and my friends there were really happy to see me  Then I took my first run through the Deepcroft which was a neat bit of creepiness and at the end SURPRISE MIND FLAYER AAAAAA  I now have a bunch of jobs around the 20 mark and now I'm off to Ul'dah to inevitably run the first dungeon there as well. In other news I got a chocobo and lol this is basically just Mario Kart. I came third in my first race which I don't think is too shabby

Rarity posted:FF14: Chocobo racing's a pretty neat lil minigame, though it turns more into one of those Japanese horse racing sims the deeper into the weeds you get. There's a bunch of different subsystems of breeding and pedigree you need to interact with to get to the highest possible rank if that sorta thing appeals to you.

 code nerd rant I have spent the better part of two hours doing my best  impression reading World of Horror's save/load code.How? The Binding of Isaac was made in Flash produced less comprehensible decompiled code, yet there was a method to the madness. This is just someone made everything global as a quick hack while making the game, not considering the concept of needing to dump/reset state for saving/loading. Keeping this functional through iterations is nearly impossible. I think it can be fixed, but this is gonna require identifying things the save code doesn't include, including them, and tediously manually remapping everything. Ugh.

Sentinel Prime is level 8 out of 13 and consists mostly of walking down corridors triggering cutscenes until the boss fight

But, reaching all over makes opportunity for sleight of hand cheatery, but so does having a predetermined tile draw spot! Plus I guess folks can cheat by the shuffle too. I don't even know the basic rules let alone how to cheat effectively. I haven't seen Kaiji either, do the anime adaptions have dubs? Either way I'll peep around at the art, i love his goblin looking faces and all the other bumpy poky designs, fantastic.

the actual issue you will run into as that, as far as i understand, the chocobo breeding minigame is extremely expensive gil-wise and very demanding on your inventory space

Great, turns out the PC is awesome in terms of performance... except it's completely missing the HDD it said it had, and 1TB is not enough from experience, and Wi-Fi is going like absolute poo poo and that's awful for downloading and FFXIV. Man, a real dumper. Tecnically I could buy and add a drive and try to find a fix for the WiFi, but that's the hassle I wanted to avoid buying prebuilt  :If the seller actually fixes that stuff they're getting 5/5 stars on every review site from me.
