Playing over 1000 hours of FFXI without having really even touched the first expansion save for potentially my job (SMN) feels like an ideal way to be drawn into the world. I'm so curious about what the deal is with the crags and delkfutt's tower. Amazing game

Something I have really enjoyed about HorizonXI vs retail is that while trusts are certainly convenient... it really defeats the point of the game, which is co-operating with others to survive in a brutal environment. Nothing beats the kindness of people looking out for each other.

Chuds may want to pretend they own the hobby, but they're not the ones getting published in White Dwarf.

In Japan the Yakuza games are called Like a Dragon, but the 7th Yakuza game is called Yakuza: Like a Dragon in the west, but after that they stopped calling them Yakuza in the west and started calling them Like a Dragon, but the latest Like a Dragon game is called Pirate Yakuza.

Some days like this I get so inside my own head. I don't know if it's the nightmares or what - but I become so convinced that I lack worth, or that anybody actually cares about me. It feels bad to post about it, but I don't want people thinking I'm leaving them on read for no reason.

David Lynch: "Most films reflect the world, and the world is violent and in a lot of trouble. It’s not the other way around. The films don’t make a peaceful world violent—the violent world made the films."

Can we talk about how it seems like JJK had no cultural impact past people finding Gojo hot and being vaguely more aware (while still not caring) about labor issues in the anime industry?

On a lighter note, hit rank 4 in HorizonXI last night! Was terrified we'd have to make the climb up delkfutt a second time as the wiki claimed the NM we needed to kill could be 28-36, but mobDB said otherwise - thanks to the lovely dragoon that helped us kill it! If you're out there I love you.

I think part of what's dangerous about the normalization of genAI is that it's just not fully correct 99% of the time. Content creators who rely on AI - whether for comedy or otherwise - are normalizing it for an increasingly growing young audience, and regardless of the content being made, that

I honestly cannot imagine being so creatively void so as to turn to the grim reality that is genAI. imagine only caring about yourself to the point you'll steal from whoever the fuck to get a shitty anime girl with zero soul or care put into it

Part of the appeal of XI for me is just how much you can do when you actually spend time making macros make sense. My summoner macros automatically take me to an avatar-specific set of macros whenever I summon one - then when one uses an attack specifically it will automatically release (1/2)

I love my dog but man I do not always love the stress of being a dog owner

Today was a busy day in XI. Linkshell did an event to get four people the carbuncle mitts which is huge for me leveling summoner. Super excited as my WHM is now 33 meaning it is almost leveled as a subjob. All I need is to get a pilgrim wand so I can increase my MP recovery and then I'm gold

Got all the summons I can at level 20 on horizonxi, very surprised but pleased to hold the clear time record on like three of em

It's a controversial opinion, I know, but I simply think the world would be better if money did not exist

I want to get back into marvel rivals and crazy taxi and Pokémon soon but I've been so enveloped in ffxi

damn, didn't get selected for the Switch 2 Experience

Unlocked Summoner in HorizonXI and holy shit this job is so much fun?

Been playing a lot more FFXI on Horizon and god I love this game. I'm so glad that my initial thoughts upon trying it over a decade ago were proven wrong. It's such an amazing game.

If you think smash is a launch title on switch 2 I have to laugh a little I'm fairly certain Ultimate was the last one Even if not I don't see sakurai involved with the series again and who could really blame the guy

I decided to take a break from most messaging apps and social media stuff so I probs won't be toooooo active in here for a little but man. Rest in peace David Lynch, twin peaks is one of my all time favorite pieces of media

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Just gonna say, if square could figure out how to officially port XI to switch, it would be a match made in Heaven

Through the power of game streaming I'm fishing in ffxi in bed... this is the life
