Gotta keep this damn team cockatiel in their place



So if you claim more points than you have capacity... do you just lose those points? Or do you have to play them for 30 more minutes for it to come back?
You just lose them. Unfortunately I lost about 12K points yesterday but not like I would manage to use them anyway.

Imagine being such a fucking victim you join team corgi out of peer pressure.
Should be renamed Team Sheeple to be honest because that's what you fucking losers are.
Just following the masses, reading harry potter, doing an office job, proclaiming how unique you are on Tinder and the settling down in a traditional family unit until retirement.

Compare that to us alphas on team piggie, our team of misfits.
The rotten, the inked, the crazy. Podium #1 might be out of our reach, but at least we didn't gave up our souls to get there.

We Oink the fastest,
We Oink the hardest,
We Oink until we die.

The biggest problem I'm facing right now is that I bought stuff but should not play it for fear of it being in the current or next Hamble Monthly. :fearful-face:

Honestly they shouldn't have put Corgi in anyways or make it where you can't select your team.

Oh course most would choose Corgi.

Tortoise ded.

Is it really gonna make me click the "boost" button 170 times to redeem my points 1k at a time? 😴
Just hammer the button, ignore the pop up window (scroll the page so you can keep clicking), don't wait for numbers to refresh, clickclickclickclick..... only takes a few seconds for 100 boosts.

They let me stack all 11. Thank you Gaben. 🙏
Tried up to 13, don't think there's a limit.

I won't allow this slander of the Harry Potter books. The movies suck, sure, but the first 7 books are fantastic.

I just noticed: Pig passed Tortoise.
I repeat: Pig passed Tortoise. We may actually not finish last for once! :giggle:

And here's a Dungeon Crawler game, that most people probably missed:





This one has music by former Capcom composer Tetsuya Shibata.

Team Tortoise being true to its name I see :steam_gp_tortoise:

Not that I'm contributing anything

I'm now thinking of waiting on Cyberpunk and hoping for a more generous winter sale.
Something weird is going on.

A few minutes ago I saw corgi was at x1.0 and tortoise was in first place.

Has anyone played Marble it up!?


Thanks in advance for sharing your impressions :)
I bought it with the coupons I got.

Its pretty fun, Essentially its marble blast 2018 but it feels a little more floaty. It currently has 6 chapters (which I havent finished yet) and is still being updated. (Online multiplayer is in development).

If you like these types of games you'll probably enjoy it.

read something about beta on dicsord and full everywhere
So a TemTem situation? I guess thats Discord's new strategy.

Why would afterburner show a constant 60-FPS for me, but the in-game benchmark says low 20's and looks low 20's as well. oof. 4K+Ultra seems to be out-of-reach.

I'm asking here because i can't find anywhere else more fitting to ask. Every few years i get interested in joining an MMO to try and pull me out of my shell etc and it's that time again. I've been looking around and Final Fantasy XIV is calling to me so i have some freaking loads of questions.

It's £29.99 on Square Store at the moment for Complete Collectors Elite Mega Excellent Edition or something, worth it?
I've heard not to buy on Steam as it doesn't have as quick an update cycle and fewer sales?
I'll probably be going solo at first until i get my confidence to actually speak to people is that viable?
Do i need headset or will in-game chat do?
Is there a good EU Server/Datacentre?
Is there a Meta FFXIV FC or something?
Is there a good FC for total newbies, like "I've played STO for a few months years ago but drifted away" newbie?
Is there a low APM Class or one where a newbie can be useful even if they're a bit Pony?
Is it worth picking up Stormbringers now or wait until i've actually done some of the other content first as i imagine it'll be gated?

Last question: Is there a Metacouncil Multiplayer Online thread?

1. The Complete Edition includes the base game and the first 2 expansions, But Shadowbringers also includes the first 2 expansions. I guess it depends what you want to do. You could either get the standard edition and save a few bucks, and then buy Shadowbringers if you enjoy it and get the rest of the expansions with it. Or you can buy the complete edition and decide if you want Shadowbringers when you reach that content.

But disclaimer, the base game is a slog at times, and the first expansion, Heavensward. Is when the game really hits its stride.

2. If you buy the game from Steam you MUST buy the expansions from there too, but they go on sale on 3rd party sellers like GreenManGaming and Humble very frequently, meanwhile the Steam expansions only go on sale like 3-4 times a year.

Updates are installed through the launcher. I'm not sure who told you it had a "slower update cycle" but they're flat out wrong. When an update goes live, its available to everyone instantly.

3. FFXIV is one of the most solo friendly games on the market and 90% of the content you'll do is solo. Dungeons, Raids and Trials have to be run with other players but they're pretty easy and nobody really talks during them most of the time, obviously there's matchmaking. However Shadowbringers adds the feature to play Main Story Dungeons with NPCs.

4. No voice chat, Just text chat. A lot of PS4 players use KB/M for this reason.

5. EU has 2 data centers and 10 servers both hosted in Germany. You can visit, match make and play with people on other servers as long as you're in the same data center.

My friends in Ireland, Sweden, and the UK all said they were smooth as butter with great ping. I'm in Canada though so no personal experience here :p

6. We're all on different servers and data centers so I dont think so.

7. Usually there are tons of people advertising newbie friendly FC's in the starting areas. They can help you if you really want to, but FC's arent really necessary. I guess results depend on the server you choose.

8. Black Mage (Thaumaturge) and White Mage (Conjurer) are both low APM classes good for both beginner and endgame. (Still rocking WHM as my main and it hasn't let me down yet). You can play as every class with 1 character so dont be scared to try a different class if you dont like your current one. WHM is pretty bare bones and simple at the start but it opens up at the later levels, So I still enjoy playing as one a lot.

9. If you buy the Complete Edition right now you'll have access to the first 2 expansions anyway which is more than enough to judge the game in its full merits. I wouldn't recommend buying Shadowbringers unless you know you'll play it.

10. Community - MMOs and not so MMOs news, updates, and discussions - Ain't nobody got time for that?

Sorry if this write up is weird or longwinded. But I hope it helps!

Ryna Perfect! Thank you. So far i'll probably get the Collectors Ed on Square Store, I'm going to run the benchmark tonight and think about which of the Lalafell names i've invented i like the most. I had White Mage/Red Mage/Black Mage/Scholar in my list of possible classes. I want to be useful but not have to have 200wpm typing skills to play. lol.

Wish I could buy FFXIV MMO =(
Any reason you can't or is it money?
It's my birthday, i'm skint, the steam sale has started, i transferred some cash from my savings so now i can undertake some retail therapy. Consider it a mini-financial tantrum on my birthday because i didn't get any cake. This is my cake. Expect a post in the "Regret" thread in a few weeks though.

Imagine spending all your money on Steam levels only to be overtaken by hackers.





That deserves at least five bruhs

I wondered why Augmented Steam showed some things twice but it turned out I also had Enhanced Steam installed :face-with-cold-sweat:
Talking about Augmented Steam, the custom theme option stopped working for me since last week I think. Shame, I loved the option to remove that ugly blue background around your avatar / badge.

Just remembered to purchase the final Sims 3 Stuff Pack to complete my collection, now I can start thinking about buying the new Sims 4 expansion.

I can download the demo on steam, but can't buy. I also need a NA account. I tried VPN one, but then how would I even use the steam version. I think they have a local version that is patches behind that is only for Taiwan but in Chinese.
