I need to try BG3 at some point. Now it's on console I really don't have an excuse anymore other than it'll take time away from FFXIV 👀 And two days probably isn't enough to go through it.
What are people planning to do during the downtime? And how long are you expecting the download to take? We've thankfully got gigabit internet here so hopefully it won't take that long!
@Aurix@lemmy.world I hope it's been okay posting these since you'd been doing the first week! They usually hit the Lodestone around 5pm my time so I can grab it at the end of the work day.
Just finished watching a replay cause I wasn't staying up for a 4am race start, but that was easily the best race of the season. There was actual racing, good overtaking, different strategies in play, and you genuinely weren't sure who would win for a good portion of the race.
Given how much we've heard about the Allagans throughout the game I strongly suspect they had a hand in it. Could be wrong, would be interesting if it was more recent.
The vast majority of mine are 150+ (I have 9 of them - yeah, I have a problem 😂).
If we look at what they store:
Housing stuff x 1
Tokens & Exchange items x 1
Crafting materials x 2
Currently not in use gear x 1 - this is things like I've pre bought poetic gear for Picto and Viper for example
Miscellaneous storage x 1 - this is for stuff like excess FC sub materials, fireworks, and other stuff that I can probably clean out easily enough if I try
Materia x 1 - this one is only at about 120ish of 175, but I figure we'll be getting XI and XII in DT so this will get more stuff
Dyes / Orchestrion Rolls x 1 - probably a 50/50 split, I've got a ton of the damaged rolls (I forget what they're actually called) I need to get around to crafting taking up space
Minions & Mounts x 1 - This one I can definitely clear out, I'm just holding all the duplicate minions I had from retainer ventures, GC loot boxes and FC subs, but it seems a waste to just vendor them, so I haven't done it yet
There's a ton of opportunity there to make plenty of space for DT, I just need to spend a day going through it all, working out what I need to keep and what I can easily replace and actually do the cleanup. And then repeat the process on some of my alts.
I've been putting off proper inventory management for weeks now, I need to go through all my retainers and make room on them ahead of DT launch. I did start on it, I've got one that collects tokens and raid drops, ended up dumping all my Alexander tokens (cause I can easily replace them) and traded in any that I could get stuff with. Freed up about 30 spots. But I have so much random stuff just stored up that I can probably clear out.
I just missed this event when I first started playing (like, I unlocked the quest and then it ended before I completed it), so was good to finally get it done today. Surprised some of the emotes that get used during this quest haven't made it to players yet, although on the other hand, I'm not really 😂
Even if this worked as promised, if someone just murdered your child for example, and they got given a 1000 year sentence that was over in an afternoon from your perspective, would you feel that justice had been done?
You can argue that yes, of course it has, they've lived a millennium being punished for their crime, but I feel the vast majority of people would feel short changed by the process.
Whether that in itself is right or wrong is a completely separate discussion. But you'd have to have it if this tech actually existed and was used as they're suggesting.
The job change magnets are a fun gimmick that will likely be forgotten within a week or so of getting the chair, but I do have a Titan Evo XL as my main home office chair and they really are good chairs. They're not cheap, but they're really comfy and very adjustable.
My son also has one, and his had a creak in the base mechanism - did some troubleshooting with the SecretLabs team, and they ended up shipping out a replacement gas lift base at no charge.
The lumbar cushions are cute too. Something about using a Fat Cat themed cushion just feels right.
As a temporary measure could you set up a second account with different communities blocked? So browse on your main with everything as you have it but if you want to dive into the politics communities, switch to your alt account?
Isn't Safari WebKit which is different again? Or is that a chromium base as well? (I realise you can't exactly choose Safari unless you have Apple stuff, but I thought it was its own thing).
