Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Yeah that second one is dynamis lord I think. And the first one you posted is with the light effect on. I wish there were official references for the color, but I think model viewer with light checked off is the most accurate. But their colors change in game depending on environment, maybe an effect of in game shadows and various reflections of fire or effects etc. I've only started toying around with toy photography but can't get enough of these. Way better than this official Statue which runs like 2,000 usd now I think lol

Went down to 17 C degrees last night, first time we’ve been below 20 in 6 months.

Thank god that summer is finally over.

That one looks more canonical (more like an actual galka)

Just suppose he got more demonic (dark) with time and resurrections.

That ShadowLord need to work a bit in the gym, imo

20C is still a pleasurable temperature.

Below 17C and i need to use my coat

All those Shadowlord statues are cool as hell. Love'em

Not hating cause I think he still looks cool but he looks a little... Stretched out? Lankey Kong vibes.

Also feel dumb for having worried about power consumption. AMD, Intel and Nvidia have all made such shitty eco decisions this Gen. In my experience (as well as just about anyone else if you look it up online), you can cut the power consumption of Zen 4 Cpus and the 4090 by 50% and maintain 90-95% performance. Literally cutting system wide watts drawn from the wall by 300w+ by changing two settings and losing almost non measurable levels of performance.

I'm no pr expert but in my head I feel like launching and shipping these products at the efficiency that they're actually capable of would have been far better while leaving the overclocking overhead for people who care to waste electricity. It isn't like this turns the 4090 into a gimp... it's still almost 80% stronger than a 3090 at 50% power.

It's all spectacle.

They SHOULD be making more efficient chips. What would sell very well is a 4090 that runs as well as a 3090 but uses the power of a 730.

But that wouldn't sell for 2 grand.

Just like you don't need a 10,000 square foot home, but that's where the profit is. There's no money is small efficient power savings, only big muddin tires and black smoke *** the planet stuff.

(it also sells bigger pc cases, bigger power supplies, larger fans, bigger water coolers, it's all scam broski) And they use it to watch youtube videos.
Death to all humans.

At 130w (30% power limit) the 4090 is still better than a 3090 so you can just about do that. No one dropping 1600 on a gpu is going to, but it's possible.

Main issue there becomes yields. 4060/4070 will no doubt be much lower wattage parts and will be closer to the 3080/3090 at stock.

Thing is the idea of "it's all marketing biggest thing possible etc" doesn't make any sense whatsoever because you lose essentially nothing by cutting 100-150w off the top. There is no practical benefit and if anything it makes the card look worse.

Morons don't buy the second best thing. They have to push it to the max.

If your pc displays 1fps less than your neighbor why are you even alive.

You think they won't know, but they do. FBI is watching your screen mocking you too.

Gotta stop thinking like someone who knows what they're using, and think more like rich kings in the Dark Ages- the wizard shows up and reveals something amazing that you "just have to have NOW". You don't know how it works, you don't know how it was made, all you know is the guy on the throne one kingdom over is gonna be SOOO JEALOUS.

Damn, I always forget that Ravael is packing like a billion relics. I should move my LP character to Bahamut and try to mooch off of him.

After singlehandedly reclaiming most of Mindartia under the green banner in Shadowreign over the last couple of days, I was about to wind down my evening yesterday with a little Ambuscade. I've been able to consistently beat V2 on Difficult by myself, so when I saw someone shout "DD needed for VD 5/6" I figured I'd join. Little did I know, they meant the Lamia fight. I panicked hard, not knowing if I could do much.

But y'know, I didn't completely embarrass myself. My TP set could still use a bit more accuracy, and I had no idea I was supposed to turn during TP moves at first. But we succeeded, and even had a couple opportunities to show off to this random pickup group.

I was thankfully smart enough to pop an Abdhaljs Seal to multiply the 3600 reward to 10800 Hallmarks, which is the equivalent of 36 of my normal runs. And we did it twice. I was floored lol

I'd just acquired my Naegling, and now I already have almost enough to grab a Maxentius. Though I've only got one more Pulse panoply left, so I'm debating on which one I should go for...

wholesomeAF

It's here ITS HERE. The second season of Fumetsu no Anata E!

You want shows. You want entertaining shows. None of that. This one right here is one of them Anime Weird(tm) show. No really, this show is like really weird, even to me who's watched anime for like 20 years.

But it's not weird in the wrong places, show is good, I can recommend and this is season two... first episode already hitting the home run.

You know what the nicest part was? After the first round where I felt underequipped, I suggested that maybe I should leave and they could find someone better. They basically said like "Nah you're doing alright. If accuracy is a problem, we'll do stuff to lower their evasion next time" Q_Q

You'd have to talk to an attorney in your state but it sounds suspicious as ***. I usually don't talk to other insurance companies and let mine handle everything.

Rav is sus. But lol.

No offense taken, I don't make them but do appreciate feedback. I like them to be accurate and for a custom I think its pretty decent. Not sure on the stretched out part, the face kinda stood out as different on initial glance, but I always need time to kinda adjust to seeing them outside the game and liking them. Almost always when I get them in hand they are way better so have to wait to see it.

some other pics for reference
I feel conflicted on their scale lol, I try to keep them within 6~8in but I wish I could have them bigger. I would have to get rid of a large portion of my collection to do just XI stuff tho, but maybe someday lol. I kinda want the ark angels or AV next.

looks way better than the pooplord statue SE tried to peddle

DO IT! Jet will buy you an Apoc! Plus <3 Bahamut

I already did that once, that nerd straight tossed it... lol scythes.

Lol, I actually probably will in December cause my brother's been playing on Bahamut where he's dual boxing his Mithra and a Hume girl. (Vyre is also actually on Bahamut currently, but I don't really play him anymore)

He just finished his Hume's Idris and even AG'd the sucker cause he's like obsessed with GEO for some reason now.

Meanwhile, I've just been doing AF quests and fighting the Shijin at 75 with only 4 trusts cause I'm keeping my progress slow to keep the LP kind of cohesive/give the storyline fights the illusion of challenge these days.

I killed Genbu and Seiryu first try today. Trusts mow'd em down in 4~5 minutes flat. Killed Byakko but lost the drops, he went unclaimed and died to my DOTs. Then lost to him twice in a row. Beat him the fourth time finally, and he dropped every drop slot EXCEPT the Byakko Haidate lmao(Shura pants and Heca hands).

Tried Suzaku and it went swimmingly, but then right as it was winding down, my trusts kept MBing with Fire spells for like 60 damage. 1% wipe. OTL

job interview tomorrow, not really interested but still feels good that they bent over backwards to meet my time demands lol, i'll deeply miss this when the power shifts back to the employer inevitably

Hopefully by then we'll be far enough along in our respective careers that it won't matter.

New pokemon games look like the shiniest turds they've ever produced. Maybe they'll be worth playing

Fought Genbu again... somehow he really wrecked my Trusts, so I just kited him to death from a little under half way. Annoyingly he didn't drop jack crap.

Fought Byakko a 5th time and lost pretty handily... For some reason Ullegore wouldn't nuke at all? It's weird, usually he's spamming Thunder IV / III etc. But this time he only stunned occasionally.

Byakko killed Valaineral at about 10%, and then I lasted till about 4%. He began just triple attacking every single attack round.

Losing doesn't bother me as much as my Trusts not doing what they're supposed to. Read this was a known bug with Rokbel-Akbel, but everything I've read about Ullegore has only been glowing and positive.

Im not sure how to feel about this

Well, killed Suzaku. So that's a win against every Shijin except Kirin(which I couldn't imagine I'd even come close on). At 75 with only 4 trusts, no CoP gear, and uhh, certainly not the best 75 setups possible.

They all jipped me! Not a single armor piece. Axe, Scythe, and some Abjurations which supposedly have lower drop rates than the Osode set.

Got a synergy level out of everything though. Made a full stack of Genbu scraps out of a single seal even.

Got the Suzy Scythe up to 107 base damage, 4 higher than 75 stage apoc? lmao Byakko Axe at 111. I actually really dig this super late 75 era(or were these added in during 80 cap?) synergy augments. I know that it'd be way easier to just grind a job to 99 and use ilvl gear for everything and move on with my life, but it's such a nice bonus to me to walk down memory lane and get bigger better version of the same old stuff.
