I was away over the weekend so was a short week for me in game this week, but I'm trying to start tanking more in content to get more familiar with it. I think I'm finally at a point now where I'm comfortable just joining a roulette at any level as a Warrior and can do the Arcadion raids as a MT. Just need to use my mitigations more frequently.
“I think everything is going have to be done with strategy, because you can’t overtake"
I still feel this needs addressing. Whether it be through making adjustments to make overtaking feasible (either in the track or the car regulations), adjusting the rules to force more pitstops and therefore provide more opportunities for these strategy calls to play out, or by not racing at tracks that don't make racing feasible.
We'll see how the race actually goes but if you have one of the fastest cars on the track and can't get through to the front runners because "you can't overtake" then something is wrong. Hoping Lando is wrong there.
On the other hand, would be hilarious if Oscar ended up closing the gap to Lando and we're back to McLaren not sure who they should push.
Note to self: FRU is the acronym for the new Ultimate 😅
Regardless, congrats on the clear and reclear! And at least the price is dropping on the orchestrion roll so you can always Seto "screw the rules I have money" Kaiba it in a pinch.
I'm assuming you're gearing three separate characters if your goal is FRU launch? I wouldn't have thought BiS for 3 jobs on one character was doable in that amount of time.
Don't believe so, you can still use it at places that offer it. Pretty sure they expanded the service to also work as a Visa card so you can technically use it anywhere, not just at retailers that offer it (no idea if there's extra costs involved in that though).
Completely get the concerns on a static. I tried to get a group together with some friends for Anabaseios, we were getting to the FIFA mechanic regularly but people stopped showing up regularly before we could clear it. I don't want to be that person in a static and my work schedule does make it challenging some weeks so I've just stayed out of Savage this time around.
It sounds like you're getting there though, and if you're seeing the enrage then you'll be pretty close to start joining a clear party at least! And once you've gotten to that point it's just repetition for reclears 😊 So don't get discouraged, you're definitely getting there! And thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Well done! Are you finding your groups are getting through the mechanics now and just struggling on damage output or are they still limping through the fight and going down regularly?
Thank you ❤️ Haven't specifically being trying to get it but when you make healer you're going to rack them up over time.
I'm still getting to grips with White Mage's toolkit but also only at level 69 so still have a lot left to unlock. Level 50 feels so unsatisfying though compared to Scholar. Like, at least let me use lilies during the umpteenth Crystal Tower raid for the week.
Nice! I've been so out of hunting since the relay linkshell I use stopped relaying. I really need to find another one, was always fun doing S ranks, regardless of their level.
Congrats on the crafting leves too! I don't have the desire nor the patience to work through any of those 😅
The iPhone 16 is the best iPhone Apple have ever made. The number 16 is double the number of the iPhone 8. That type of innovation is something that only Apple can do. The A18 chip is the highest number we've ever given to Apple silicon, one more than last year's model and eclipsing even that of our M series chips in the iPad Pro and MacBook line. And this year we're proud to announce that our Apple engineers have increased the button count on the iPhone 18 to the highest it's ever been since the inception of the iPhone.
I finally got to 3000 commendations and got my Parade Chocobo last night!
I also started a new job, have started playing White Mage. I usually main Scholar so I figured learning how a pure healer works was probably worth doing. Plus I took advantage of the current cash shop sales to buy an extra set I needed to finish my Aerith glam which I'm now using as my White Mage glam. It's been a lot of fun to use because it actually triggers conversations in roulettes 😊
I'm more taking issue with this quote from the article:
"Researchers behind the project say similar AI models could be used to create games from scratch in the future, just as they create text and images today."
This doesn't strike me as something that can create a game from scratch, it's something that can take an existing game and replicate it without having access to the underlying source code, and use an immense amount of processing power to do it.
Since it seems they're using generative AI based technology underneath it, they're effectively building a Doom model. You might be able to spin a Doom clone off from that but I don't see it as something you could practically throw another game type at.
That being said as I said in a different reply, I was viewing it through the lens of something more product based rather than that of a research project. As a field of research, it's an interesting topic. But I'm not sure how you connect it to "create games from scratch" if you don't already have an existing game available to train the model on.
Regardless of the technology, isn't this essentially creating a facsimile of a game that already exists? So the tech isn't really about creating a new game, it's about replicating something that already exists in a fairly inefficient manner. That doesn't really help you to create something new, like I'm not going to be able to come up with an idea for a new game, throw it at this AI, and get something playable out of it.
That and the fact it "can be played for up to 20 seconds" before "the model begins to run out of memory" seems like, I don't know, a fairly major roadblock?
Okay, my sister in law is a big fan of lizards and sneks, so now I'm embarrassed that's not where I went to first 😅 However I wish you the best of luck with your Llama owning aspirations in the future!
