I’m really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn’t infinitely produce.
Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools
there are iron farms though…
Minecraft existed for a long time before iron golems were added
SMH damn kids don’t even know about the before times when leaves didn’t despawn on their own and minecraft cost less than $10
I’m a proud 10€ alpha version buyer. There was no hunger bar nack then and mushroom stew was the shit.
It’s a shame Notch completely detached from his creation, tho.
He detached from reality not too much later in so it’s probably for the best.
And food did not stack in the inventory.
No damage in multiplayer hahaha
My kids and I have played for a decade plus on MC with an initial investment of exactly $10.
We do buy coins about once a year to support the game and its updates.
Lol I still do this cobblestone tools are free iron just doesn’t feel consistent enough. Though I am trying a new mining strategy we will see if that improves it.
Get a tool smith and buy tools. Emeralds are super easy to get in bulk with master fisherman and fletchers. Selling sweet berries to butchers is another great source.
Or sell iron from an iron farm or melons and pumpkins from one of those farms. Trade with librarians for mending books, never break a netherite item again!
WHAT IS ANY OF THIS (haven’t played since beta)
Villagers are human like mobs you trade with. Emeralds are used as a currency. Most fletchers buy sticks from you. The more you do business with a villager, the more trade options they have. High level fisherman buy a boat (5 wooden planks) for one emeralds.
Tool smiths start selling high quality enchanted iron and diamond tools once they are mid level. Enchantments do things like increase durability (unbreaking), improve speed (efficiency), and many other upgrades. Once you have a tool smith that sells say diamond axes, anything else is pointless to keep beyond an emergency backup. Cost isn’t a factor because the aforementioned selling of sticks and boats mean emeralds are a cheap and renewable resource.
Thank you! I could have looked it up but that’s a lot to look up. The game sounds quite different than when I played, jeez!
I don’t want to tell you how to play your game, but I will say that diamond is well worth the effort, even if you don’t want to get it the easy way with villagers. The amount of time you will save using diamond will more than make up for the time spent mining, and make you resent all the time you’ve wasted using stone. Just dig a tunnel down to y -59 and strip mine, you never need to see a mob or get lost in a cave if you don’t want to. A normal level 30 enchant with efficiency 4 and unbreaking 3 will last a very long time, and can be repaired infinitely if you get mending on it.
I would compare it to something like drinking instant coffee all the time and finally tasting a properly brewed, high quality coffee. Or only buying cheap shoes all the time and then investing in a proper pair of very comfortable and well made ones. Or playing video games on a 5 year old hand me down Mac then upgrading to a decent gaming pc.
Using items to win means I’m bad at the game, and mama didn’t raise no coward
Ramen.
May he bless your controller/mouse with his noodly appendages.
Lol this was me just the other day in Baldur’s Gate 3. I got an ability on my Cleric that I could only use ONCE in an entire playthrough. “Yeah I’m going to save this for the final encounter”. Ended up forgetting about it and not using it at all at the end of the game haha.
I used it during a particularly difficult encounter only to learn that those enemies reflected Holy damage -_- instantly killed that character
I know exactly what encounter you are referring to and almost made the exact same mistake. Thankfully I read the enemy buffs before I used it lol.
Arm thy servant (I think it’s called) is the best one. Gives you a weapon that you keep.
Completed Resident Evil 2 back in 1998 with stacks and stacks of explosive, flame and acid round. Regretted saving all those ammo just for them to be gone forever, I could have had more fun with flying or flaming zombies dying all around me. Fast forward to current day, nothing has changed. I’m still a hoarding idiot.
This is why I like roguelike mechanics. Permadeath encourages me not to hoard and the hunger clock encourages me not to grind.
I still hoard and often just die on my pile of loot :(
Me after finishing every RPG I’ve ever played ever: "Well I guess I could have used all those really powerful items I’ve been saving the entire game in that last fight if I had known it was the last fight… " If you tell me an item is super powerful and in extremely limited quantity, I will essentially never use it before the game is over out of fear of needing it later.
I can’t say that I’ve ever used a single Megalixir in several Final Fantasy games due to them being limited in supply.
99 Potions, 99 Ethers, 99 Tents, can’t be too sure, 99 Hi Potions, 99, Antidotes, 97 Golden Needles, better go back to the store…
FF7 Remake: “oh, there’s a superboss and a Hard mode, which is the only way to fight the super boss? Better preserve all the good items“
[Items are not allowed in Hard mode]
I would use them on the final boss for shits
It took me close to 100 hours of Elden Ring to find out that the single, one-time-use buff item I got for someone hugging me very early game was reducing my max HP just by being in my inventory. I thought that was a neat way to incentivize using said item. If I had known it was doing that without having to have a Wiki tell me anyway. Screw you too Elden Ring!
Normally am this way too. Underrail is so difficult at times it makes you use your resources. On a first or second playthrough I routinely used limited consumables and it felt like I was just barely making it.
This subsides a bit once you know the game. But even once resources become more available an emp grenade/ adrenaline shot will turn the tide of fights.
Big ups for Underrail. I’m about 10 hours into my first playthrough and having a blast. I’m concerned I’m going to hit a wall at some point because I didn’t really come into the game with a build in mind, so I’m pretty far from optimized. This far though, I’ve managed to scrape by on luck and buffs, but like you said, it keeps you on the edge.
This is actually why I’m so simultaneously good and bad at Resident Evil. Because I am too scared to waste a single bullet, so much so that I taught myself how to use the knife. Becoming convinced that killing every enemy with guns that blocks an important hallway is not feasible.
Even though I’ve seen Let’s Plays where that is absolutely the case and there are no ammo shortages, about a million times.
I’m good because I can actually get a good ways through the game while doing this, I suck, because I will spend most of the game in caution because I did this. And we’ll waste a lot of time as I will need to leave a room and reenter if the zombie gets too close without falling
I’m good because I can actually a good waste of the game while doing this
What now?
Sorry Speech To Text fucked that up badly

“Here BUTT, this POKÉBALL can catch any POKÉMON. It’s called the MASTERBALL.“
[Trows it onto an ABRA]
[25 Years later]
“Why is there not a single Masterball used in your whole living Pokédex?“
In my case it is because I want all of my pokemon having the same pokeball appearance
All for the aesthetics
Indeed. Fasion comes in many forms and fasion is often endgame
Reminds me of when I finished the first Max Payne.
I was all kitted out. Rocket launchers, full deagles, you name it. I used my little starter pistol all throughout this fight on the tower that I thought was leading up to the very end… only to have credits roll while I sat there with a full fat armory of glorious destruction - forever unused.
I beat Dark Souls 3 this week and I hoarded embers the whole way. I had a stack of 60 by the time I got to Midir and Gael. I did finally crack into them when I realized that they were the only 2 bosses I had left. So, baby steps I guess
I’m guilty… Even in D&D 🙈
For me, that’s not just rare items. I won’t spend any in game money. I don’t care if it’s readily available on the ground, I’ll still treat it as if I can’t get any more money ever.
Not even on upgrades?
Are you the chosen one who never upgrades their RPG characters equipment and only use their default?
