Hopefully things go more smoothly than for Endwalker’s launch! The login issues were so bad they ended up giving all players some free subscription time.

Supposedly their systems are better prepared now, but we’re still expecting massive queues no matter what. Probably will be impossible to get in if you only have a few hours to play and you work normal hours

I didn’t have an issue with it before but lots of people in the feedback channel found it frustrating to not be able to gather something they saw. Especially as you basically always need everything

With the update, the tool you choose actually increases the spawn rate of that type of resource, but you’re able to gather everything regardless of what you bring. So you might get a few things from the other categories, but a lot from the one you prioritize. I don’t mind either system, but I can see why other people felt like the old way felt like you were being punished for taking the wrong tool.

The consensus overall is that it’s just kind of a better vibe this way, so I dig it

Absolutely incredible patch imo, I was genuinely nervous about gameplay changes since I really like mel’s movement but they nailed it.

Basically sprint is just faster by default now, and you can initiate a dash slighter sooner after attacking. I’ve beaten the game a couple times before/after the changes, it hasn’t really changed the way I play but everything is feeling really satisfying and responsive

Possibly they can’t be made thicker due to the cooking process?

I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure that is a lasagna?

Idk I think it’s kind of cute

molecules be getting freaky with it fr fr

Someone recently spammed a popular community with about a hundred copies of a hate message + an unmarked nsfw image. I reported it as I’m sure everyone else who saw them did, taken down very swiftly, thanks mods.

But in that case as with many others I think the goal literally is just to put hate and the threat of violence before people’s eyes. Even if only for a few minutes, maybe a vulnerable person sees it and it ruins their day. Real scum of the earth mentality

Well, it appears to be a crude drawing of the US state Oregon. The uppermost city is probably Portland, and there’s a bunch of small towns located south and slightly east that are 4 hours from Portland

For me it was about 2 months to start seeing subtle changes. After like 8 months I think I was starting to look somewhat “fit”, then after like 1.5 years I think I started to have that “muscular” look

It sounds like you pretty much figured out what was holding you back. It’s frustrating to feel like you have wasted time, but good on you for pushing through! This stuff is genuinely hard to learn, lots of conflicting advice out there
