Can't sleep, but I CAN remember all too well when I was young, and cringe, and free, and I made some absolute college struggle food for my roommate and I, and we dubbed them "1337wiches".

Peak nostalgia.

Time to wrap this up with the final city-state, Gridania. From the base game, we have the Physical DPS, Ranged DPS, and Healer roles. Which leaves the Tank and Magic DPS roes to be filled. This time around, no changes to base classes and jobs are needed, so we're looking at just additions.

Just a random thought that popped into my head, but I'd think that smoking has to be really unpopular in #Umamusume. Racing is too important for umas, and there's no way to spin what it does to your lungs as being good for your performance. So it would be like a symbol of having given up at life.

RIP, four interns and Louie's chances of ever finding love.

This post is crazy to me, because it's not like you're just paying for the chicken and someone to cook it. Even leaving aside the seasoning and whatever it's fried in, there's… • The equipment used to cook it. • The cleaning and maintenance of same. • The disposable container it's in (no cleanup!)

The great thing about starting a new character in a game is that you get a new Little Guy. The bad thing is that you have to do All The Things again.

I finish it when I finish it, okay?

Something I think would be funny. Write a series where the name for something central to the plot isn't clear on how it should be pronounced, and then tell the fans, "It will be pronounced correctly in the the upcoming game." Substitute the word with literally "Correctly" in the script for the VAs.

No, Bluesky, I'm *still* not into any of those kinks.

Somewhere out there, someone thinks something you did that was "no big deal" is pretty amazing.

Opened my window to get some fresh air, and the temp outside is already getting to the edge of my comfort range. Uuuugh...summer heat.

*whistles innocently*

So weird to me. I was around for Red and Blue. I watched The First Movie on pay per view. I was there for the insanity surrounding the release of the TCG. What I'm saying is I'm old. The only recent Pokémon anime I've watched is Horizons, but it's got INSANE production value and legit good writing.

Can't believe it took me so long to get to Act III: This City Made Us. I think on some level, I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my anticipation after how long we had to wait. Then I got to "Hold Back the Night" in the playlist...and good heavens. It rocks so hard. #theprotomen #megaman #nerdcore

Gonna be honest here. If you can get away with that for over a year before someone notices, then your presence in those meetings wasn't needed anyway. The company should have offered her a new position with higher pay to sign a noncompete and apply that kind of problem solving for them exclusively.

Did not get sick, which is probably the only good thing I can say about this stuff. Tried it cold, hot, on a sandwich, in pasta, with mustard... There's just no saving it.

Finding a product review page for this has been worse than pulling teeth, but I need people to know. I tried unMEAT's roast beef flavor, and it's nasty. Texture more like mushrooms, and there's a strong "chemical" taste that really lingers. If I get super sick today, I know what I'm blaming.

Probably should have given this the #unfiction tag, actually.

I want, nay NEED, to see an #ARG make use of these techniques.

Can't decide if this is culinary terrorism, or a culinary masterpiece.

All right, I'm ready to continue my #ffxiv theorycrafting, and after some debate, I've decided that this time I'll be tackling Ul'dah. Just to clarify what I'm doing here, the goal is to come up with an adjusted set of starting classes that gives each city-state access to all the five combat roles.

How does the internet feel about an NPC that detects if you try to skip through their dialogue and angrily screams, "QUIT MASHING A!"

A lot of grocery store nacho cheese containers say “DO NOT MICROWAVE IN THIS CONTAINER. DO NOT DO THAT” and they can say that as much as they want but I don’t think they’ve grappled with how little the average grocery store nacho cheese enthusiast has to lose

Since I did it for Classic WoW, I'm going to speculate on some changes I would make to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is I had the power to do so. For now, the thing to come to mind is a bit of a smoothing of the starting experience, by making sure each starting city has a class for each role. Long thread ↓

Video games really are a gift. Theres really something magical about them. How they can change your life, your worldview, your mood… everything. 🥹

Well that's certainly one of the business strategies of all time.

I have a well developed sense of humor. This is because my whole life is a fucking joke.

Quotes from my #ttrpg groups: "Cornbread has gotten really good at racial profiling."

Something I've noticed more this time around is the clear intent for there to be a ranged DPS job in Limsa Lominsa. From what I've looked up, this would have been "Musketeer". It's interesting how much of it survives after the job itself was cut.

Playing through FFXIV again made me want to come back to this. If you're feeling really ambitious, a few unique interactions based on class in cutscenes can go a long way. Like the Rogue throwing a dagger at the shadowy figure that steps out, or a Cleric desperately trying to heal a downed ally.

Live Bluesky code reaction...

When I think of American birds, I think of bluejays and cardinals, and the smaller red and blue birds I used to see around and associate with them as a kid. I think combining that with the idea of "red oni, blue oni" would make a cool basis for a pokemon.

With the MMO I had been playing no longer online, I've gone back to FFXIV (insert copypasta here), and am once again appreciating how well written the Rogue quests are.

I love this so much. Especially because they managed to fill the whole dex, and prove that every pokemon really IS someone's favorite.

"Hear... Feel... Think..." "Lady, have you seen my ears? I do nothing BUT hear!"

I still want more games for these guys.

Fantasy worldbuilding idea; Different demons have their own rituals to summon. Have one who specifically requires an offering of stolen property. The more senseless and petty the theft, the better. A crown from a tyrant's head? Nary a murmur. Candy literally taken from a baby? Full manifestation.

If you're a writer, write "I waited" without saying it. "As I sat there, I found time to contemplate the meaning of life. Surely I was meant for more than this. Meant to be somewhere without the incessant humming of florescent lights, and a dozen other souls who would also rather be anywhere else."

Just saying...

If I lived anywhere remotely close to this, it would be taking the majority of my income.

Aside from making some really cool paintings, this is kind of an insane technique. Imagine going to the trouble of fully painting out one scene, only to then turn around and cover part of it up and paint a different scene in that spot. Let alone seamlessly blending the two scenes. Good heavens!

Damn I woke up and immediately want to play morrowind
