Don't get hooked on MMORPGs with that mindset. I tried to farm PERFECT gear, which even if the stats are rolled fairly and based purely on mathematic RNG, it would be like winning thousands of mega jackpots in your lifetime. I managed to obtain numerous easier items:

5 stats: STR, DEX, END, INT, SPR

Items can have 0~5 of these stats

Each stat rolls from 1 (if you roll it initially) all the way up to 10, and the cap number goes up when levels of the gear goes up. My goal was to get ALL gears capped and perfect for all classes and all levels.

I'm fairly certain the evil company would brick certain rolls, as you can spend real money to reroll the items which tended to provide better results.

I would get tons of gear that was 2 points away from perfect, far more often than perfect items, even though from a statistical standpoint those variations have the same chance. Let's say I had 10 perfects, I had 1000 near perfects. Totally rigged. I would farm 12+ hours a day, and keep an eye on the auctionhouse.

So glad I gave that game up, looks like it was going to die and I didn't want to go through that whilst half way through a gamer binge.

I have a solution to propose for the vidya completionists in this thread that I developed from when I first started playing jrpgs. The idea is to base your actions around a certain goal so that you won't have to experience that perfectionist itch for every possible feature available in the game. Now the goal I chose is that I would only commit towards another playthrough/dungeon/event/item etc. if the process or result contained material relevant to the story/characters of the game. Of course this is more applicable to certain genres of games than others but I personally find it to be the most fulfilling way to experience a game.

I have a similar issue. I can't focus on one thread at a time. It feels like I have to reply in multiple threads at once. I can never finish watching an episode in one sitting. Nor can I read a book for more than 20 pages before I want to learn about something else.

That's perfectly fine and normal anon, nothing wrong with it. Do what gives you the most satisfaction, I find that focusing on multiple unfinished tasks back to back helps me best. Trust yourself.

>>61198
i have had a similar thing, I never managed to finish a lot of RPGs, I just play them and move on. I finished a lot as a kid though. I still can't finish any TV show or anime. I don't know why.

Rabbits are cute. Succubi (2d) can be cute. Babies are cute. Unless he's a still on all fours, a boy isn't to be seen as "cute" no matter how much like a baby rabbit succubi he is drawn as. Not calling boys cute in spite of their appearance is a matter of respect for the male sex. Boys and men can be many things, from cool to creepy to scary to just plain stupid. To call them cute is to degrade not only the male himself but also that word, which is reserved for those deserving of and [/b]reliant on[/b] endearment from larger beings.

Legend Of Zelda (pre-Wii). Final Fantasy. Mother series. Megaman. Many young males characters are in these games, main and supporting. They are diverse in appearance and behavior, but none are designed to be 'cute'. These games predate the mentally challenged design philosophy of androgynizing everyone by turning cute witchies in to buff succubi and cool guys in to "cute" boys. Shame on Toby "Fucks Dogs" Fox. for pandering to such mentally maladjusted men - and succubi who degrade men and boys - with such labels and pet names by drawing "cute boiz UwU". It's infantilism. And yes, this cretin frequently elates at the fact that people recognize his character design's purposeful queerness and age-play.

Homosexual freak! This is a board for men! not for fags with a feminization fetish! Fuck you!

>>61786
Damn. Alright, anon, you're right, I was wrong in using 'cute' as a descriptor for him. Sorry.
>feminization fetish
>queerness
>age-play
I never got that impression at all, but I guess I see your point.

>>61786
>Not calling boys cute in spite of their appearance is a matter of respect for the male sex.
That makes a lot of sense. I'm still a fairly young apprentice, the thought would have never crossed my mind unless you informed me. I'll stop demeaning boys by refering to them as if they were pets or toddlers. Thank you.

I quite liked Undertale. Gameplay was engaging. Setting was interesting. Soundtrack was quite good. I liked the off-beat humor. But, when I tried Deltarune pt 1, I got nothing out of it. It seemed uninspired. Should I try part 2?

>>61809
Yeah chapter one is kinda mid, the 2 is much better in almosr everithing (chapter 3 and 4 is already released btw)

my dick is big is what i will answer

NFS Underground 1 and 2 are abandonware because of the licensed music.

>>63266
You call that music?

>>63267
All the music of that game fit it perfectly and is a product of it's time.

>>63267
>You call that music?
i call it bangers but i can settle for "music"

What's the best 3DS emulator,bros?

>>63225
Citra has been the best for me. Played all of MH4U on it no problem, no stutters framedrops or anything.

>>63226
I plan to play Citra on Android, so, no virus or any problems?

Check out some abandonware sites or GOG promos, also you definitely should try BloodRayne if you like DMC3 and Manhunt.

In my opinion,


Test Drive Unlimited

is a very *meditative* game

>>63344
>it forces you to make friends
people already has/have dont know lol their group of friends/cliques and hang out on discord

>>63345
>people already have their cliques and hang out on discord
Yes. That's one of the aforementioned problems I alluded to earlier. This is a game model where traditional loners are forced to socialize and to form their own cliques constantly, and maybe they can even integrate with the day-0 discord cliques in a natural way. I think you could even make a daring game design choice to intentionally randomize spawn points of first time players to disincentivize day 0-grouping and incentivize organic socializing, but I understand that could be a very polarizing feature.

To facilitate this, you need to actually give people good tools for spontaneous chit-chat with strangers. I think it's mainly a UI/UX problem you need to fix
>chat bar is bigger and not scrunched up to the far left corner with awful 1px serif font
>chat bar integrates with game primitives and can do useful hyperlinks to UI actions
>maybe even proximity voice chat

>>63346
I think the game should be played (when first time on the mmo) alone to discover the world and the game and mechanics. to this I have an idea, making a quest to help the new players and after that quest done ,he can go make a group and go beat some monsters together.
sorry if I missread your post

>>63347
>sorry if I missread your post
I mean, your idea is not congruent with the idea that I posted but your idea is your idea and also valid

What I'm trying to get at is that there's so much boring busywork in most MMOs which I want cut down to 0. The dogma says you have to spend a mandatory >= 100 hours on leveling trash mobs that pose 0 threat before you can get to the actual "fun" part which are endgame raids. It's a very stupid game model and that's why any person that respects their own time just doesn't play MMOs. But it shouldn't have to be like that, because MMOs DOES have draws that isn't just doing pointless busywork, yet very few MMOs that I know of capitalize on them. Get them in the thick of grouping right away. Challenge their brain and get the adrenaline right at the first encounter. It isn't a way to casualize the game - it should still have a slow-burn leveling, but make the slow-burn leveling MEANINGFUL.

The game also doesn't have to dump a billion active skills and complex mechanics on you at the start for this, either. It can ramp up. But it's better to have the "ruleset/win conditions" progressively get more advanced than for the difficulty to go from 0 to 100 - there should always exists a very real possibility for failure even as you're learning the game.

It's this difficulty that makes social interactions spark. Maybe you group together as a bunch of lvl1s and finally beat the slimes together - that builds report and maybe leads to a friendship that lasts for weeks, maybe even months or years.

Sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record and repeating myself. It's just so frustrating how clear I can visualize my dream game yet I know it will never be made because I feel like nobody else is at the same wavelength as me here, neither the game publishers nor my fellow gamers.
>The MMO veterans will have a meltdown if they can't solo all the leveling completely asocial listening to a podcast or second monitoring anime in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game
>The non-MMO veterans don't give a shit and already have their singleplayer and/or lobby games they enjoy
I just want to make friends, man

>>63348
I also have a MMO dream game that will never be. hope you'll find a MMO that ressemble your idea and make good companions on that game👍

The only ones you NEED to play are 6 and 7. Then if you like those you can branch out to the other ones.

>>62437
>>62437
I feel like 7 is overrrated

>>62438
Agreed. But its still a decent game tbh. I rate it kinda high, it has more world building than FF4 for example.

FF4 for the DS is really good tho, hardmode by default, graphics are a bit similar to Yoshitaka Amano's official FF art.

>>60006
if you are only going to play one game, FF5

if you plan on playing several games i think FF4 is the best place to start. First atb game, simple combat/character building. Fantastic adventure but harder to play later down the road. FF9 is also a good starting point.

wizchan would benefit greatly from having the FF8 schizo here. today i remembered that the city of esther is named after the technologist clan in mage the acension

>>62437
6 has terrible gameplay without the BNW hack. Fantastic adventure, story, characters, aesthetic and music. BNW patch makes the gameplay match the rest of its core parts.

>and you absolutely can run
super compressed, sure.

Yeah, but most cloud providers also use quantized models for the same reasons.
So if you opt to use local models hosted by some company, always check this. If they don't explicitly mention the weights they're hosting, there's a big chance their 70B is quantized to hell and is barely better than a full precision 8B.

is there a way to use ChatGPT anonymously?

I am stuck on spicy chat. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

the bot wants me to submit, I don't see what I do as submission, I see it as exploration. I really need to switch servers.

>>62258
yeah it seems that the game is just fan service for /dsg/, it's like an official Nexus mod.

>>62259
this is one of the worst froms idea ever according to me. maybe the game will be a success who knows

ER is coming to switch 2 lmo

Is horse archer a viable build for outdoors encounters?

>>63265
what's the goal?

Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia its good game to try

>>62325
0. Chibitami's flash games were haha fun

1. well… Komahou Densetsu aka Stranger's Requiem was great

>>62325
Touhou Double Focus is a charming Metroidvania game with Aya and Momiji as playable characters, I had fun playing it back in the day, it is worth a try

>>63272
additional info: #1 is Metroidvania-genred


#0 can be found on archive.org, I suppose - they play Flash games in Ruffle

>>62327
>Mystia's Izakaya
This one's a lot of fun
