Today I almost hit the limit of 500 items on my character in Stars Reach and it got me to think about this topic again, happens from time to time, mostly in MMOs and liveservice games.
Forgot to post about it yesterday, but I guess I had some other post ideas going instead, so I’ll drop some reviews with the addition of today’s games since this week is quite loaded for me with new stuff.
IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator
PVKK-like that happened faster than PVKK, not implying anything, just think that amount of exposure and hype PVKK got will define the genre name, at least saw that in my chat already. Great game, I did really enjoy the demo during the Next Fest and devs were also super nice and responsive agreeing to participate in my Showcase and provided press kit for that too. From what I’ve heard game keeps adding some cool challenges and interesting missions all the way through, so shooting big cannon doesn’t get old and you need to work with your head decent amount too.
Posted about some dreams, now what do we actually have here on the ground and what to realistically expect from the nearby future. I do yap about stuff on stream quite often, but it’s probably quite tricky to get the whole picture for someone tuning in from time to time, so here’s a better angle and archive/diary for future me.
Yesterday’s sigma grindset post got me the idea to write down my current ideal, perfect endgame that I would love to achieve, at least for the archiving purposes to read it a few years later and laugh.
Waking up before sunrise in Armenia for that productivity
Getting this conversation with friends quite often. I have one friend who’s working in the restaurant as a cook, could be chef already since he has 20 years of experience at this point, but he doesn’t want to live at work. His schedule currently is very relaxed, since he just goes in, prepares a bunch of ingredients for other cooks to use and goes home when he’s done. With his experience it takes around 3-4 hours, sometimes even less, then he also has 2 days off, even though they are in the middle of the week.
Remember those plans to post twice on Tuesday, yeah, how about zero and Wednesday too, all plans totally went exactly how I wanted. Well at least I have some time today, so here we go, guess for the rest of the month I’ll need to post twice a day to catch up, especially since next week Wednesday and Thursday might be no posting. Now it’s time to talk about the topic that I’ve been asked multiple times last few days – Ragnarok Zero Global and why am I skipping it.
Morning was a little busy, so a bit of a late planning post today. This week again two days off, this time with a bit weird timings – Tuesday and Thursday, I just have appointments both days that are a bit tricky to mix with streaming due to scheduling. At least not super lengthy appointments, but I plan to combine it with meeting my friends and family, so it’s still going to be quite a lot of time considering train rides.
Some morning park vibes from my small workout trips
Well, the pace of posting was great for the first half of the week, but then another birthday (or 3 simultaneously) hit so hard I missed 3 days, catching up will continue then. At least it should get more chill until the end of this month, but friend got his 2 weeks of vacation starting tomorrow, so I bet there will be something to disrupt my plans still (and 1 more birthday).
5 years ago, levelling with community group in Magma 2 on RO Prime server start
Original Ragnarok Online did affect my life a lot in my late school and early college years and I do return to it whenever there is a good opportunity, but there aren’t many good ones recently. Official servers in regions with good ping happen rarely and end up being whale milking stations with barely any population after a few months, private servers are a bit of risky business for streaming. New Ragnarok games are just fanservice and nostalgia covering gacha, stamina system, autoplay and atrocious microtransactions. Which is sad, because some of those games are actually well made and fun, when you get to play them for those limited moments without autoplay on and when some whale isn’t soloing your full group in PvP.
Managing to do some workout in the park on some mornings
Not every week I get days off, less often I have two and even less often I have a day off where I don’t need to go somewhere, meet someone or do something. Summer at home is full of birthdays, friends, and family gatherings, so I do try to take a couple of days off regularly, but feels like after some days off I need another one to actually rest, but nope. When I will be in Armenia this autumn I will cut the amount of days off a lot and get some streaming marathons going too, so less IRL activities, but not a lot of free time still.
