    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    I'm scared of what I need to do for the gear for access to the FINAL dungeon in the game. The minimum is 360, and that's what Mendacity gives you. I only have 1 piece of Genesis gear. What REALLY sucks is you can NOT get a weapon (that's not a drop) unless you do Delta/Sigmascape no matter...

    Space stuff (NASA, UKSA, CSA, ESA, etc)

    IMO I think people don't appreciate just how MUCH MORE data is in the second photo. Like, think of the old quote: That's in 1985. The article here updates it for SD cards: https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/ The amount of data in the second photo would be BUILDINGS full of documents like the photo...

    TIL: Today I Learned

    Geez! I'm just comparing our current stove to the one we had in our last house, both of which at sea level. Wow for over-analyze!

    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    The first one had computer animation too. In particular the wildebeests stampeding was an early (trying not to be detected I mean) usage of it. Ya the voices. Glad James Earl Jones is back, but trying to follow Jeremy Irons? Good fucking luck.

    TIL: Today I Learned

    Is this why my electric range in my house seems to be slower than molasses in boiling water?

    Methinks we need an FFXIV thread now.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Our major client is in Mesa. I imagine similar. Meanwhile, I had to plow snow this morning. Spring storms happen.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Exactly. They hard-coded it above, but the commented-out line would get it from user input.

    What are you playing?

    While on one level I agree, on another level it really HAS kept the worst of the idiots out of PUGs. To be in a 50+ dungeon you HAD to do the ones before it. At least once. It's not perfect, but compared to other MMOs I've played, IMO it helps. And Squids, I'm surprised it worked that way...

    What are you playing?

    I'm sorry to report that my post from last week remains accurate: You have 100 more quests to do before your exp bar unlocks and you can do Heavensward. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seventh_Astral_Era_Quests Somebody in chat was complaining about this the other night, and somebody...

    What are you playing?

    Until you complete the quests prior to Heavensward at least. There's 100 of them. I'd get started, so that when you WANT to progress, you CAN.

    What are you playing?

    Not necessary but I found those dungeons way easier after I had the new gear that they gave out in the middle of doing it. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seventh_Astral_Era_Quests

    What are you playing?

    I dunno. Probably less than 100k for all of them together, but I dunno. Ask a guildmate (or something) to go into Ishgard and get it for you. Gets you another soul crystal so you can be a scholar when you want to be. I've seen people call them the best healer. Below 50, it might even be the...

    What are you playing?

    Did you even do the Scholar quest? Curious. Yes, yes you do. I have botany up at 60, and fishing is like 15 or something, but everything else: just no. When you get to 50, get somebody to buy you the Ishgard gear (just money and not that much). Then you'll stomp the Post-50 but...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Not speaking to the other cuts that may be there, but given how corrupt and awful an organization the IOC is, I actually support cutting whatever public funding that even might get routed to them at all. If the Special Olympics is separate, then OK, but the IOC is just awful, so even if they...

    Can somebody do me a solid and embed that "both" gif with the two animated guys?

    What are you playing?

    This is why the first thing you should do at EVERY new system you're in is use the slot at the starbase to upgrade your storage. And then pursue dropships (that's not the name, the place where you can upgrade your storage). That makes the game MUCH more pleasant. Not too expensive to start...

    Ya, wasn't Nass a good guy in that movie?

    What are you playing?

    I haven't looked at the gamepad controls in a while, but there's a way to "flip" to multiple menu bars. Holding a shoulder button (or something). Maybe it's in the help or something, but you're not limited to 4-8, it's much higher IIRC.
