#FinalFantasyXIV #MMORPG #IndieGames #ArtificialIntelligence #GamingCommunity

Aywren breaks down FFXIV patch 7.5, from Beastmaster and relics to housing storage, dye consolidation, and the April 28 release.

Roger takes the plunge on Crimson Desert after strong early buzz, while noting the hefty 150GB install and SSD recommendation.

Kimimi digs into Mitsumete Knight, a fantasy dating sim where Tokimeki Memorial-style stat raising collides with war, duels, and possible deaths.

Scopique is happily grinding Star Citizen’s Alliance Aid event for a permanent crafting fabricator before 4.7 lands.

Wilhelm rounds up EVE Online notes on Project Discovery turning ten and CCP tweaking faction warfare standings and awoxing penalties.

Tobold finds Altay: Dawn of Civilization a solid deckbuilder with area control, but questions its scaling and long-term replayability.

Michael’s indie roundup spotlights adventure games, game jams, and odd little Itch.io finds with plenty of love for hobbyist developers.

Jamie Zawinski fumes as the DOJ settles with Live Nation/Ticketmaster, and urges readers to push state AGs to keep fighting.

Tipa kicks off a movie-review series with War Machine, a Rangers-vs-giant-mech film she kept mistaking for a Chris Pratt vehicle.

Warner handles Apple’s MacBook Neo in store and comes away thinking the build is great, but the real story is the price.

Dave Winer argues “coder” and AI “slop” both miss the point, while pushing blogging, the open web, and human creativity.

WoW Factor: You don’t have to speed-run MMORPG expansions. You really don’t.

Hey Folks! One of my constant laments is how there just isn't "enough to do" in #LastEpoch, and after a long session of "sibling time" with Ace, we landed on what I mean by that. Last Epoch is missing some sort of a season's journey to focus on other than just grinding and getting loot.

Skidding exhausted into Friday, the #DailyBlogroll brings stories from @davew, @wilhelm_arcturus, Bhagpuss, @monsterladysdiary.com, Syp, @belghast and more!

https://westkarana.xyz/

#MMORPG #WorldOfWarcraft #IndieGames #GamingCommunity #CyberSecurity

Matt digs into EVE Online MER data and finds Metropolis rising as The Forge slips, though February says both markets are now sliding.

Syp hits the sweet spot in WoW Classic as Stormstrike transforms his shaman rotation and the slow, nostalgic leveling loop feels genuinely restorative.

Shintar recounts SWTOR Dread Fortress timed-run heartbreak, Brontes wipes, and a raid team suddenly nailing the fight when expectations were low.

Sey rounds up Future Games Show standouts, from Unboxing Mr. Coo and ReVamp to dog-space Metroidvania Rover’s Tale and Hello Sunshine.

Bhagpuss kicks off an EverQuest II zone series by discovering nobody, including Gemini, can convincingly count how many zones EQ2 actually has.

Margot calls Hermit and Pig a Pokémon-like RPG standout, praising its story and combat even as the combo inputs occasionally fought back.

Emily’s Steam Next Fest picks span horror and roguelites, with The Occultist intriguing, Seth eating hours, and Armatus not quite landing.

Belghast tweaks a Path of Exile build with chaos resistance fixes and Searing Bond of Detonation, while leaning on games during a rough week.

Wilhelm’s Guild Wars Reforged group recruits hero M.O.X., then promptly gets sidetracked from Lion’s Arch into a surprise trip to Cantha.

Ron Gilbert shares a teenage homemade movie, now gloriously soundless on VHS, plus a very Ron aside about Lucasfilm and Monkey Island.

Good Morning Folks! Today you get yet another blog post about #PathOfExile Mirage league nonsense as I fix my Chaos Resist and then swap over to using Searing Bond of Detonation. Weird ability... but honestly pretty freaking good.

The #DailyBlogroll is standing right behind me, isn't it? I hope it has stories by @davew, @wilhelm_arcturus, @scopique, @Aywren, @belghast, @WarnerCrocker, @brennanbrown and more!

https://westkarana.xyz/

#FinalFantasyXIV #MMORPG #IndieGames #ArtificialIntelligence #GamingCommunity

Aywren wraps FFXIV Blue Mage to 80 with Ram’s Voice and Ultravibration, while side-eyeing old skill grinds and a possible cap bump to 90.

Tipa says Dune: Awakening Chapter 3 piles on PvE, dungeons, crafting, augments, and faction grind so hard it feels like a relaunch-worthy new game.

Kimimi finds Surging Aura’s chant-based magic and counterspells genuinely fresh, even if the rest of the game has to struggle to keep up.

Scopique likes Star Citizen 4.7’s armor changes, where ship classes matter more and small weapons stop pretending they should threaten capital ships.

Belghast digs deeper into Path of Exile Delve, finding Fossils richer than Resonators this league while nudging Righteous Fire toward a block setup.

Wilhelm hits Pokémon Go level 74, with 200km as the real bottleneck, then eyes platinum medals, eggs, throws, and gifts for 75.

Tobold says an EU5 events mod reveals how much country-specific content stays invisible unless you play the exact path the developers expected.

Warner riffs on lobster tails, steaks, a baby grand, and tech toys as the latest reminder that excess always floats to the top.

Jamie Zawinski marvels at AI scraper bots hammering his site with hilariously useless image-size 404s, which would be funny if it weren’t so annoying.

Dave Winer says Claude Code sped a Node.js browser UI into shape, but its sandbox wandering and handoff.md thread juggling still feel pretty fraught.

Good Morning Folks. I'm having a bit of a poverty league in #PathOfExile as resonator prices have tanked, and I am scraping together chaos for upgrades. I talk through shifting over to block-based and 90% max res.

Good Morning Folks. This morning I talked about my #PathofExile 3.28 Mirage League start and how it was a bit rough... but mostly due to real-world circumstances. The time shift is still kicking my ass in addition to everything else.

Tuesday's child reads the #DailyBlogroll and finds great stories by @davew, @wilhelm_arcturus, @euphoriagremlin, Tofutush, @Joar, Azuriel, @monsterladysdiary.com, Bhagpuss, Frostilyte and more!

https://westkarana.xyz/

#IndieGames #RetroGaming #MMORPG #GamingCommunity #CyberSecurity

Frostilyte shares hard-won Timberborn starter advice, especially on storage placement, hauling, and keeping your beaver logistics from quietly collapsing.

Azuriel’s early Slay the Spire 2 take is cautiously whelmed: familiar classes, wild balance, and combo-heavy runs that already feel a bit overtuned.

Magi digs BOSSGAME’s blend of challenging boss-rush combat and lesbian romance, with messenger-style storytelling adding extra charm between fights.

Bhagpuss, freshly done with Baldur’s Gate 3, spirals through Steam indecision and stalled installs while figuring out what to play next.

Joar survives house photo-day chaos, then unwinds with WoW progress through Eversong and into Zul'Aman on a Demonology Warlock.

Oya says Return of the Obra Dinn rewards patience with deeply satisfying deduction, even if its stark 1-bit style takes some getting used to.

Ellie finds Haiku, the Robot a stripped-back metroidvania that wears its Hollow Knight love proudly and makes Arcadia’s ruined machine world inviting.

Wilhelm dives into Pokémon LeafGreen for the series’ 30th, mixing remake history, handheld nostalgia, and a fresh return to Kanto.

Emily likes Discord Quests in theory, but wants more flexible ways to earn orbs than grinding multiplayer games she’d never actually play.

Bruce Schneier flags a sharp dependency problem: F-35 buyers rely on US software support, prompting talk of jailbreak-style third-party access.

Einige der neuen Drachenritteranimationen sind echt cool, aber was hat Zenimax mit meiner Flammenpeitsche gemacht? Die war vorher stylischer. 😤

Good Morning Folks! I've been running a bunch of dungeons, and the last time I really did this was during BFA/Shadowlands... and the culture of #WorldOfWarcraft feels wildly different. I talk a bit about this.

Good Morning Folks! As of last night, I have 220 or better in every slot but my boots, and for some reason, cannot seem to get a pair to drop. I talk about #WorldOfWarcraft #Midnight and various things related to it.

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday was the #PathOfExile full reveal stream for 3.28 Mirage League and I am pretty freaking pumped at the big changes coming next Friday. I talk about some of the new features and flail about regarding my build choices.

tentative de critique global subjective des mmorpg et communautés

Voyez ça aussi comme un exutoire pour tenter de ne plus perdre massivement du temps sur ce type de jeux mais plutôt être joueu-r-se occasionnel-le

D'abord un peu de contexte d'expérience, j'ai du commencé les mmo vers la moitié des années 2000, tout d'abord avec un jeu de niche et puis faute de moyen et pas majeur-e j'ai du me contenter des mmorpg gratuit, pire erreur car c'était des précurseurs aux jeux sur mobiles en terme de modèle économique piégeur (payer pour gagner, farmer, gagner du temps etc ...)

Depuis 2012 je me suis un peu poser avec des mmo très connus comme FF 14, GW 2 et TESO mon trio favoris suivis de pas loin par Secret World, à côté de ça j'ai quand même continué les bêta-tests mais il y a eu un grand retard sur tout ce qui est jeux solo/coop même si il y avait des moments de pauses

du coup après tout ce vagabondage je peu au moins parler d'une partie des problèmes, comme d'hab formuler sous forme de liste :

- comme dis ci-dessus, le piège des mmo gratuits, rare étaient ceux qui proposaient que du cosmétique (m'as-tu-vu, bling bling, plein d'effets) qui sont en soit aussi discutable vu l'incitation à l'achat que ça peu produire sur d'autres personnes

- les boites mystères payantes (appeler loot box ou gâcha) qui consiste à jouer sur l'effet machine à sous de casino pour que les gens dépensent toujours plus de sous pour enfin avoir le ou les contenus désirés

- le grand manque d'accessibilité dans les options et le manque d'accès facilité à des contenus très difficiles, préférant plutôt miser sur un culte du mérite pour les hardcore g4mers, alors qu'il devrait avoir des difficultés et pré-requis différents et récompenses égales

- Manque d'option pour masquer tout les personnages des gens (+ liste blanche) sur les mmo connus

- le manque de serveur dédier à une langue (et avec possibilité de voyager et changer), ce qui résulte à des injonctions très fortes pour ne parler qu'en anglais, des moqueries et stéréotypes contre les personnages n'utilisant pas le même types de caractères à l'écriture et contre les francophones

- en parlant d'injonctions, il y a aussi celles à aller sur Discord, voir même à utiliser un micro pour du contenu de groupe

- les objets, titres, trucs brillants divers etc ... qui ne font que donner une estime de sois via son/sa personnage complétement lunaire, il y a des personnages qui sont tellement brillants qu'on se demande l'intérêt des torches, et il y a de ces titres, faites votre choix entre déesse/dieu, la/le légende et j'en passe et pire encore, le côté aventurier-ière est parfois plus vraiment là

- le sexisme éhonté des gamers TM en fonction des personnages qu'on joue, je vous épargnes les remarques graveleuses et dragues pénibles

- les pronoms et accords qu'on indique quand on peut mettre une présentation qui sont niés par une partie des gens, car évidemment il y a "que" des homme dans les mmo, sans surprise c'est surtout les communautés LGBTIA+ qui respectent les usages

- le côté répétitif, inhérent aux mmorpg pour garder les personnes sur leurs serveurs, quêtes sans intérêts scénaristique, même donjons fait 36 fois avec un coopératif imposé, le farm énorme de récolte et artisanat, tâches quotidiennes et hebdomadaires etc

- le spam (entendre par là action répétitive) que font les personnes à longueur de temps en ville ou en coopération forcé, ça martèle la touche espace pour spam saut, ça martèle leurs raccourcis pour faire des compétences dans le vide ou pour répéter les mêmes emotes, toute ces actions m'as-tu-vu qui gênent beaucoup la concentration d'autres personnes ...

- le manque ou la modération tardive du cyber-harcèlement en jeu (du, entre autre, au manque de moyens alloués) et des fois qui continuent sur les réseaux, ce qui résulte à des types qui se croient tout permis à traquer d'autres personnes

- la compétition, le JcJ (combats de personnages) même massif accentue souvent des comportements toxiques, hélas des personnes en veulent toujours plus sur les nouveaux mmorpg
le JcE (combats contre des pnjs) en raids élitistes entraine aussi des compétitions toxiques et est bien loin de l'accessibilité

et surement d'autres choses, j'éditerai si me rappelle

Après tout n'est pas à jeter, il y a eu tellement de moments mémorable et de rigolades en petits groupes, de l'exploration passionnante, des rares quêtes énigmatiques à résoudre et des contenus JcE originales, j'en garde aussi de bons souvenirs

Comme bon nombre de blasé-e de ce style, j'attends toujours le mmorpg qui me correspond, en attendant j’reprends la ballade occasionnel sur les bêta-test et rattrape le retard sur les jeux solo

bonne exploration à vous !

édite : les mmo sur mobile sont quasi tous des arnaques
si c'est la re-jouabilité qui vous fais venir sur les mmo je conseille plutôt les roguelike/lites, hack'n slashs et vampires survivor like

Ob wir Gamer das gerne hören oder nicht, aber Fakt ist, alles, was nicht irgendein kleines Liebhaberei-Indie-Projekt ist, wird für Profit veröffentlicht. Es heißt nicht grundlos Gaming Industrie. Und da empfinde ich die Kombi free2play und pay4style nicht als die schlimmste Art, um mit einem Game Profit zu machen.

What are your favourite hashtags?

Should I really do an #introduction ? I’m already loud and obnoxious… I’ll follow etiquette though.

I’m Lesley, from Chicago. Now an immigrant in Melbourne. I have been doing #infosec for quite a while now. I focus on #dfir for #ics and critical infrastructure. I do a lot of talks and career clinics and writing about that - links in profile. I'm available as a #KeynoteSpeaker and I want to talk at your con. ✨

Outside work I do lots of stuff. I’m really into #martialarts even though I’ll never be super good. I have two fourth degree black belts in #TangSooDo and #taekwondo. I also study #arnis and Kung Fu. I coach middle schoolers. I also love #gaming, especially a #mmorpg. I watch lots of geeky movies and #cosplay at cons even though I’m ancient. I’m a goof. I also shoot #bows and #pistols competitively. I love a good gin martini. I can chat about almost anything.

I retired from the #USAF reserves in 2021 after an interesting career seeing a lot of the world.

I am publicly 🏳️‍🌈 #NonBinary and #asexual. I prefer they/them pronouns for that reason, but I don’t get upset when people accidentally mess it up. Gender is silly, and I prefer to not participate in gender roles! I never married or had kids for that reason, but people are great and I have lots of awesome pals to have adventures with. 🤷🏻‍♀️🍸

I care deeply about #humanrights and #socialjustice. I am a proud #atheist and #humanist. It’s integral to who I am. I care about people today and future generations being well and safe. I’ll get mad for you, because I care.
