FFXIV Fan: “Wym they made the depression city into an Umbrella” Also, FFXIV Fans: “I’ll take all of your stock” (I too did want one)

Also at Nikko Toshogu are these wonderful additions to “Elephants drawn by premodern artists who clearly never seen them”

Nobody ever told me that the lobby of the building the Eorzea Cafe is in is Balinese themed. It’s fine I just didn’t expect it to be Balinese. also yaaaay.

Truly a dangerous place to be, my hands and wallet keep slipping inside.

I went to the SE Official Store and my hands and wallet slipped

She says, lying through her teeth for some reason

I got Nihongo Ga Jyouzuu-ed!

At Enoshima Jinja, found this relationship ema for scalies and lizzer likers.

Saw Noh play live for the first time. The language was very difficult but thankfully it was a subtitled performance. The Kyogen wasn’t subtitled but I managed to get some lines, even if it’s using archaic forms.

I’ve met younger people who want to learn about history but only learn exclusively via youtube videos. There are some channels out there that is doing some fantastic work. But I’ve seen some utter bullshit being propagated by “history youtubers.” It gets worse with GenA/I now…

I tried out the public baths in my accommodation and it was very enjoyable May try and see if I can make time for an onsen…

I went and tried them Japanese claw machines and won a bag of chips

I watched some Kabuki which was two acts from the 47 Ronin play. It had melodrama, romance, fight scenes and characters dying to fulfil the impossible demands of honour. Which in kabuki terms is a good time Also I actually managed to understand some of the lines.

I read up marriage disputes cases from an English medieval church court once. People don’t know what “medieval values” around it were actually like and is just parroting what the Victorians think the medievals did.

Do you remember? 🐸🪩

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Okay National Museum of Japanese History You can’t try to show the complexity of Japanese Bunraku puppetry by showing a transformation head AND MAKE IT MOTION ACTIVATED WITH NO SIGN

Goshuin thread for this trip starting with: Narita-San Shinsou-ji

I am in Japan for Holiday Starting in Narita-san cause the temple protecting the Capital from the North East Direction (the bad vibes direction) seems a good place to start.

"No we are not holding hands in the Gentrified Taco Bell in Jakarta" me to @ac-esq-xiv.bsky.social

Aga believes there's a time and place for both approaches. Sometimes you need tech that he's not entirely sure how it works, and sometimes you need ole reliable thousand folded Hingan steel

Deleted my quote of an article because its likely AI unfortunately, but the QRIS payment system that's become popular in southeast asia is real and the US seems big mad about it.. I want it theconversation.com/us-labels-qr...

Sometimes I want to talk more history on this account But then I remembered the of deranged weirdos (derogatory) I had to deal with in my moderator days… Gosh I have some stories I can tell

LRP I’ve made my stance clear that I think cashless only is terrible. But I will defend QRIS as a good thing

Interesting tool in use in Indonesia and spreading in other asian countries, its a way that bypasses VISA/Mastercard networks which seems to be scaring them hence why Murica is trying to attack it. If it implemented in more countries, it ll be quite huge. dartpublicus.substack.com/p/qris-the-q...

I had one more idea

In my mind the crown that G'raha rejected as the Exarch was in the Byzantine style.

I see that "art before Covid and now" trend and all I got is my first medieval style comm from 2022 for my friend who's a Medieval Irish lit professor now. its their D&D party they're DMing for fighting their final battle, in "one of those static battle scenes" #AnachronisticCreations

I am cooking ArknightsAU Aga design

I've been doing some yellow quests, and this one is going to the FFXIV item flavour text hall of fame

Paissa Threadpuller #ffxiv

I keep seeing this and why is the centre point seems to either be on or off the coast of Sardinia

The PC in the office uses wireless keyboard and mouse and never have I been more convinced that they are evil. WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY KEYBOARD INPUT LAGS Absolutely pointless feature.

I’m seeing a pattern cropping up of Indonesians being into Napoleon and I’m trying to parse why that is…

SO I did the beaver quest in Il Mheg (the entire quest chain for one of the flying unlocks) and two things What have I done and Maybe the First ought to be rejoined if it means stopping the Beavers
