FFXIV Leveling Guide via Main Story Quests (MSQ)

Guides
FFXIV PUB Patch6.45 04 png jpgcopy

The Main Scenario Quests (MSQs) are the core story quests in Final Fantasy XIV that guide you through the major plot points of the game. They unlock as you progress through the levels and expansions. As the game evolves and you can skip earlier content, the MSQs are still a critical part of the leveling adventure no matter what expansion you start with. The MSQs will be your primary source of experience points (XP) as you level up, especially for your first job. You’ll get tons of XP rewards from completing these quests, which makes leveling up smooth and straightforward. We have another leveling guide focused purely on the first 70 levels, whereas this guide is for anywhere in the game that you may be. My advice for new players is to focus solely on the MSQs when starting out. Don’t get distracted by side quests or other activities, just…

Dave the Diver GYAO! Guide

Guides
gyao

GYAO! is a traditional Tamagotchi game within Dave the Diver. It follows the exact Tamagotchi formula with some quality-of-life upgrades. You’re probably wondering how to grow and take care of your GYAO! because the game doesn’t provide any tips, unlike other areas of the game. The reason being is that the original Tamagotchi has sort of a thing where folks would play without the instructions. That lead to a lot of Tamagotchi pets lost. Just like the original Tamagotchi Connection, the same instructions do work exactly here. We’ve included the Tamagotchi Connections v1 Instruction bits that are relevant to Dave the Diver at the bottom. How to Care for GYAO! There are two main needs for GYAO! Food and affection. The manage screen shows you this. If you see a mess, click the clean button. If you see the purple skull, press the medicine button. At night, you must check…

Star Marine Is Canceled Again

Editorials
Star Marine Hero

Star Citizen is a game that still kindly asks you for your money for some reason unbeknownst to anyone. Chris Roberts himself at this point likely is included in that list, although we’re past half a billion in funding now and Star Marine still is dead. I wrote in early 2016 that Star Marine was canceled which was, looking at the last decade, quite right. It languishes today not as a separate FPS game but a broken buggy module within Star Citizen with three maps and no players and soon to disappear altogether as a separate mode. Much like someone who is trying to convince you that their AI product, coded by ChatGPT is going to be the one, Star Citizen continues to languish as a cult around a product made of dreams and sunk cost fallacy. At this point even just removing Star Marine would probably be good for…

Valheim Ultimate Dedicated Server Guide

Guides
valheim

Valheim is an amazing viking journey through a hostile world made so much better with friends. One of the beautiful things about Valheim is that single player can become multiplayer at anytime by inviting other players into your world and vice-verse. This of course requires your computer to be on and you to be playing, but what about when everyone wants to build cooperatively but not have the host on? Then it’s time for a dedicated server. You could rent a dedicated server for a myriad of hosts. It’s simple and some even let you host mods. If you do that you’re basically done; rent the server, follow the server hosts guide and voila. Yet you’re now stuck paying for a server that you could play this month or you could not and often times these hosts can have data export restrictions making your game world… their game world. So…
