Germany is when your ISP sells you1GBit/s for 100€ and then your house has DSL cables inside so you can effectively only use 300MBit/s of it.

Not to sound insensitive, wouldn’t keeping a checklist in a text file/note/etc, then copying it when you want to check it off completely fulfill your requirements?

That sounds plausible, but still really weird. At least now you have an idea what happened

Were you on the right time? Remember, with the DST switch they change to the other two-hour pattern (i.e. every meta that was at odd hours is now at even and vice versa).

Amnytas works fine for me, so if it is a bug it’s low-occurrence.

Possibly, I haven’t tried ff14, but I personally always feel more frustrated when I feel like my choices don’t matter than I do being railroaded through a mostly good (and sometimes great) story.

I just want to point out here that asset reuse is not a bad thing. It’s just a freaking smart use of dev time. The time it takes to create and rig a proper model, and then add textures that don’t look weird is way too long for the release cadence ANet is going for with the team size that they have.

People always point out asset reuse as a bad thing and I don’t get why that is so high up people’s list for some reason…

I mean, that’s just the way an MMO needs to be with its story. Choice, if present at all, needs to be extremely limited to make open world design possible and to keep the scope doable.

In GW2, the tradeoff is that we get awesome meta-events, raids, etc. all because all of our characters making mostly the same choices.

Whelp, good to know. What a mess. Seems like an easy fix too.

Oh, I completely agree, it’s still going to be fairly cheap, especially if it idles a lot, I just wanted to point out that it’s not going to be free free.

I mean, you’re forgetting the additional power costs that you’ll have to pay for running your own hardware, plus maybe ISP fees if you want to upgrade for better upload speeds.

Really depends on the game. I usually get a lot faster and more precise adjustments using KBM, so I prefer that for games like shooters and anything where precise 3d movement or fast reactions is an issue.

Basically the only games I play with controller are the ones that are really well optimised for controller and kind of meh for KBM and the ones on my Switch.

Try running the Vulkan version rather than the Windows version. Iirc you need to enable that in the options.

Considering that Gen Z is usually defined as being born between the mid-late 1990s and early 2010s, I wouldn’t support the first half of that statement. Everyone born in the first half of 2005 or earlier are 18, making them adults, so about half of Gen Z is adults.

Now whether this article uses that age range properly or whether it’s just someone using the term to mean “young people”, I have no idea.

But the premise of the article that just because someone uses technology all day makes them somehow invulnerable to scams (something that has absolutely nothing to do with how much someone uses tech) was ludicrous from the start.

I honestly think that the bigger hurdle for most people will be the fact that you need 7500 Globs of Ecto for the Amalgamated Essences (roughly 1.7k gold at current prices), but thanks for the guide!

I can help you with that! The Essences are used in legendary armor crafting for the PvE legendary armor.

From the sounds of the blog post, you can select as many of them at the same time as you want. It’s just an option for people who, for example, never play PvP to not get their UI cluttered with PvP goals.

Edit: it might even go a step further and give you the same amount of goals, but spread only across the modes you selected, so everyone can complete the same amount of goals. Just speculation of course, we’ll see on Tuesday.

Let’s be real, weekly festival achievements have always been more of a bonus for people who enjoy the festival activities. While I do agree that the numbers could use a bit of tuning (give us 5 points for Queen’s Gauntlet and the races instead of 3, and maybe 15 for Boss Blitz), it’s not that hard to get if you actively play the festival content.

I’m going for all 4 skins that can be gained without crazy grinding (annual plus three from weekly, two down, two to go).

For me, when a festival is out I usually spend a decent chunk of my time in GW2 on them because I can do all the other stuff while festivals aren’t going on too. I realize not everyone enjoys them as much, but in a way it’s nice to be able to get something that takes longer than annuals (which I’m usually done with day one or two). It’s great that annuals don’t take as long, so people who don’t have as much time can still get the exclusive rewards, but it’s also nice to be rewarded for enjoying the festival.

Does she actually need Linux or is using a unixoid OS fine? A lot of the time installing homebrew (or whatever the package manager was called) on MacOS can suffice for several use cases.

Other than that, if you’re not needing apple exclusive software on it, installing Linux on the Macbook can be a good option.

If you definitely want virtualization, go with VirtualBox

Ah yes, because spammers clearly can’t afford 8 bucks a month

I want to finish my second Conflux and then I’ll start hoarding materials and gold for the open world legendary armor (since they’re bound to use at least some existing materials)
