  • Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

    Actually I can loan a friend a Steam game with the family library thing that the Xbox One tried to steal. I can just authorise their computer to have access to my steam games and they can basically play what I have until I decide to boot them from it. They will have the game files, but will still have to buy a copy anyway.

    It's a pretty nice way to combat piracy too. My family and friends get to try out a game and also get an incentive to buy it for themselves.

    You can do something similar with iTunes too but since iTunes stuff is DRM free, there isn't much to stop someone form just running off with thier copy of the files.

      This class makes me want to bash my face with this keyboard so much. Fifteen minutes in and we're still watching him play around on the computer.

      Ohhhh myyyy Goddddddddd.

        Sooooo I qualify as being bored at work and was reminded this site was a thing and decided to look over some of my old RDM/COR stuff for a nostalgia bomb. Figured I'd pop in and say hi :D

              I like going through my old posts too. I remember when I was super anti-Windower and then I turned almost completely to the dark side. Watching that evolution was quite amusing.

                The #1 reason I never picked XI back up after quitting when they raised level cap was that when I quit I deleted my Spellcast XMLs, and the thought of doing either one out of playing without Spellcast or re-writing all of those files was enough to say eff that lol

                  Oh god I know, redoing all that would be murder.

                  Plus the whole "starting completely over since I was banned" thing.

                    ^ that 2nd point is kinda moot at best now actually. Go watch the new video they just put out, the entire game pre-Aoudlin has been made easy mode.

                    I watched a video the other day of a (relatively) poorly geared 99 PUP/45 NIN who admitted that his Automaton is also badly geared SOLO HYDRA!!! It looks like with Trust Magic you can also summon enough NPCs to constitute a full party, so that makes a good number of story missions a breeze. The only things that should be a pain are spots like Eldieme for coffers etc.


                    For me it's more of a matter of lack of friends & dated mechanics/UI. I miss XI dearly, but I don't want to deal with skilling up, gear-swapping and macros, I much prefer XIV's more fluid system for combat (I just wish they'd stuck with XI's job system as it's still the best by far ever conceived barring FFT)

                      Yeah but it just wouldn't be the same. Plus, I'm kind of resolved to not give SE anymore of my money for that since they were so dead-set against taking it 6 years ago.

                            Attempting to bump because you can swap entire sets of gear in a single line as of literally last month.

                            Incidentally, this was one of the very first things I posted to the official forums . . .
