There are SEVEN FISH THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE CAUGHT ON RED MAGGOTS THIS PATCH, but two are already [essentially] ruled out by the addition of new mooch fish! A huge improvement!

Getting this out of storage for tomorrow. There are 16 possible fishing holes for big fish to be added to. 12 of them have red maggots as a viable bait. Let's see what 7.4 brings us.

It is with a heavy heart that I must report that I am ready for patch 7.4

did it with so many days to spare

If you're still getting baited by Half Life 3 rumors in 2025 you deserve what happens to you (disappointment)

When you get crushed by a certain amount you just kind of have to laugh about it. This was probably the single largest FL loss I've ever seen?

Every time I see something about Tom Morello sending Soken a song for FFXIV completely out of the blue this is all I can think of

Oh my god, maybe I might actually try to solo now??

All of my friends are getting snow and I'm getting gross rain 😞

THIS is peak deep dungeon performance, if you want it to take 40 minutes to do anything

A couple months late after the clear, but here's some celebratory art for clearing the Aloalo Island Criterion Savage Dungeon in #FFXIV, alongside @cafcoleo.bsky.social, @aerialblast.bsky.social, and @fshybeans.bsky.social !!! sure we're all fishers but that doesn't mean we can't kick ass sometimes

Cold turkey cut down to 2 cups of coffee a day and I am struggling to function after 5 PM now. Yes, I cut down to 2 cups. Yes, I know. That's why I did it.

Bobgoblin Bass is literally my favorite fish in FFXIV by such a wide margin, I love him so much. Why is he like that. Goofy ass

With the Bobgoblin Bass going on yet another extra-long holiday, now is a great time to rewatch "The Bobgoblin Blitz," a video I made last year about my barely-failed quest to hit Final Fish during the last Bobby downtime! youtu.be/58oGLocwREY

Today is a momentous day in FFXIV fishing history! Bobgoblin Bass takes the podium sweep for downtimes, with a 38 day downtime starting now. It knocks Cinder's recent 32 day vacation out of third place. This is the 2nd longest downtime of any fish in #FFXIV.

I finally got my first cavity 😭 I had a good thirty-[mumble] year streak going, too...

Slowly creating a spotter's guide to the carpeting in my neighboring buildings so I can more quickly figure out where my food is based on the delivery photo

Hey, this starts in about 24 hours. It's going to be very fun, and I hope folks definitely try doing personal scoring this year for rankings!

Ah yeah that point in the patch cycle huh

Having grown up in a very small town, I have to say that an underrated awesome thing about living in a city is that you might luck into a scenario like "polling place is in the lobby of your apartment building." Literally voted on my way out the door to work.

Being a kid and it starts lightly snowing during school and everyone gets all excited, wondering if we're going to be sent home early... nothing in adulthood matches that feeling quite as well as "sitewide IT outage"

I am unbound. I am unstoppable. Soon, 40% of my glamour wardrobe will actually see some use.

spearfishing looks intense now

This is the specific ad (Reddit link in a probably-futile attempt to avoid giving the actual commercial more traffic) This feels like a scene from an artsy Dystopian horror movie

update was a bit hard but i thiiiink it works for 發?

The gambling app ad where a giant line of people on bicycles follow each other into an ominous purple portal while unsettling music plays is so on-the-nose that if it was written as a satirical art piece I would think it was too much

You may not like it, but this is what peak Deep Dungeon performance looks like

My office put up a bunch of big signs for a health charity awareness thing but the way they're split means that there's just one giant line of text that says "I AM BLOOD" and it's the only part visible if you aren't like 5 feet away.

sites.google.com/view/ffxivwe... The FFXIV Weather Archive site is now live, offering a visual view of all different weather conditions in #FFXIV! The archive is dynamic, and in constant development.

Cleared a deep dungeon for the first time ever! Those extra checkpoints + matchmaking up to the end really do make a huge difference. Honestly I would love it if they added that retroactively to the older DDs, then I might actually ever clear those too lmao, I just can't do more than 2 sets at once

Extremely minor Deep Dungeon early floor theme spoiler: I think it's extremely fun that the 21-30 floorset of Pilgrim's Traverse seems to be based on the FFXI version of Alzadaal Undersea Ruins and not the FFXIV Alzadaal's Legacy dungeon. I think that's a fun touch.

Every once in a while I think about the New Game+ in Bravely Second and I'm still kind of in awe. Best use of that feature in literally any game ever made. I'm going to be chasing that high for the rest of my life.

I'm in Philadelphia at night for probably the first time in my life. Why are all the buildings lit up so red?

This combination of video and song is literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life and it isn't close. I can't explain it. By the end I was laughing so hard I was literally crying. Response from others I have shown this to has been... mixed.

Getting back into writing is fun because now I spend a solid 90% of my time producing pages and pages of text that I would never show to another living person under penalty of death, that I fantasize about getting published.

finances? whats that the azure dragoon has no use for numbers #ffxiv #ff14

Low effort shitpost

Shark named ‘Breton’ makes a self-portrait using its tracker

I was writing a story set in the modern day, but with the rate at which the modern day keeps, uh, evolving, I feel like I should do myself a favor and make it a period piece set in the distant far-off nostalgic era of 2024

Some guy in a shirt that looked like a pizza box but was a NOFX band shirt asked me for a picture while I was walking around wearing this last weekend. Literally undefeated article of clothing.

RIP Haru Urara. The shining star of losers everywhere. #umamusume

My friend and I were talking about how picturesque the new cosmic exploration planet is in FF14. They posted a screenshot and I said "wow, looks like a pulp sci-fi cover." So... I made it one.

not even ffxiv fishing is safe from silksong

Finished Rain Code today. This game trolled me more than any detective game has ever trolled me before, I have never been so mad in my entire life, literally when I realized one of the twists coming up I yelled out loud. A++ would recommend especially if you like Danganronpa

i have it... the umbrella

First-ever criterion savage clear! thank u fish friends

i learned to craft actual for real
