  • Phoenix Flaming StarJanuary 31st, 2024, 12:12 am
    Ok so, Zonks and I have, for the time being, moved on to Palworld. We are currently playing that. Don't get me wrong, Ark's a great game. It's just... we've done the Island already. https://youtu.be/ByQ6Y09ux1Y?si=uDhKx_cs7wbuoEcm <- We beat the bosses. We want something new to do in Ark, so until then, we're playing Palworld. :thumbup:

    In Palworld, I'm currently level 29 and I tried to go after a level 45.... :tease: it didn't go well... It two-shot me... Zonks said I was brave for even attempting that. :lol:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarFebruary 2nd, 2024, 9:54 pm
    Ok so, that level 45 was a Jormuntide. Guess what I just got from an egg? A Jormuntide!!! :rofl2
  • Phoenix Flaming StarFebruary 4th, 2024, 5:08 pm
    Yes, the Palworld section is intentionally put just above Pokemon. :rofl2 Just because I think it's stupid that people fight over them.

    So I bought the Daft Punk songs from the official Beat Saber Steam page. I love it! It's a fantastic and fun nostalgia trip! :heart1: :clap: Also ended with the Prime Time of Your Life Live 2007... my arms don't want to work! :rofl2 It was fun though. The environments are stunning. :clap: I love the Verdis Quo environment. I practiced that on Easy so I could look at it closer. Gorgeous!

    I am so glad I got the Immune cave done. X_X I was ready but I didn't feel ready. Zonks encouraged me and I went through it alone. (Zonks was sitting next to me, watching. He wasn't playing.) I had a megatherium with me. There were times I had to get off him, go through a small opening, draw stuff toward me, run back to my tame and kill stuff. Caves in Ark are very dangerous. It's best to not rush 'em. Be prepared, go slow, take your time. :thumbup:

I'm putting the codes in spoilers just in case you change your mind at the last second. Trust me, taming them is so much more rewarding than spawning them in. (In my opinion, some tough to tame creatures are an exception. ie: Shadowmane or Amargasaurus.)

If you have yellow engrams showing up, first take a screenshot of your character stats so you can set them again later. Then craft a Mindwipe Tonic and use it. That should get rid of them.
