Hardspace: Shipbreaker just popped up in my YouTube feed, and seems like it might scratch a very specific do-work-after-work itch:

Just finished Subnautica. That game was excellent, good mix of survival, horror, and building/crafting. Running the sub in silent-mode so a gigantic sea-beastie doesn't bite it in half has a feeling all its own :stonklol:

Sony refunded my TLOU2 preorder because of uncertainty around the release date right after they announced a certain release date.

So my run of never preordering a game is still in tact!

yeah idk why people bother with WOW when 14 exists, naivety I guess. Every review of FFXIV is “used to play WOW/better version of WOW.” I was surprised at how engaging the story got

I haven’t played in a while, but definitely the most wholesome of goons. Tbh: never had a bad time playing video games with goons. Really easy to quite literally instantly get a full group to help you through early level poo poo if you’re just starting out, almost at any time of the day

I hadn’t done some main dungeon raid that was about a 2-3 hour haul. People tripped over themselves to help, and we planned it for a Friday night and did VOIP. Super fun

I just started playing as the quarantine started and this is the same experience I've had playing the game. It is a much better video game!

The FFXIV community in general is pretty great. I've had like 1 or 2 bad experiences with pubbies in 80+ hours of playing. The way the game handles dungeons and raids makes it super easy to group up with people and knock them out with minimal fuss, and high level players like helping newbies with tough raids because they get cosmetics and stuff out of it.

I get that but tbh FF14 seemed more like a social circle hangout for most while they did work or farted around the house. Talking about their day and poo poo. People seemingly spend more time just randomly having banter and showing off their mounts/emotes than doing anything in the game


Absolutely not saying this like it’s a bad thing mind you

Big change is that your main character that you play is Trans, who is looking for revenge for the killing of family members in the first one.

lol if you wait long enough they always throw free trials at former members

Gotta say having one character where switching weapons changes your class is dope. Not saying they pioneered the idea, but it is nice

Not sure how the FFXIV trial is but before it used to be x amount of hours. Now I think they let you bring any character to level 30 or some such? You still have the buy the base game though

Ellie is gay, or at least that was the case.

Edit: found it SPOILER ALERT don't read past like the first paragraph of this link if you are worried about TLOU2 spoilers.

Quick and dirty, one of the new protags is trans, but Ellie is not.

I don’t see it as being an issue but if they’re retro actively injecting poo poo like Dumbledore being gay even though it was never hinted or alluded to imma laugh. Cause that poo poo just comes off as a virtue signal, or dare I say, viral marketing!

Or maybe her becoming is part of the story idk

You can read the plot of TLOU2 online. I don’t know if he’s right or wrong but I think it’s possible to comment on TLOU2 if you’ve read spoilers.

Please don’t though because I’m still gonna buy it.
