THIS IS NEXT WEEK! The donation page will be up later this week. Please consider donating and have a chance at some of these lovely things OR ... donate early to determine where the fish train goes: on the easy route... or the EVIL route 😈 ... & more! Maybe a Mora sweatshirt is involved.

Baldur's Gate 3 and Expedition 33 have proven that passion is a better predictor of future success than budget or profit. Make games Gamers want to play! End microtransactions. Tell a story worth hearing. Treat your community with respect. Any excuses not to now are complete BS. And we know it.

And so I ask again: what is the worth of a single mortal life?

The ultimate goal regarding social media isn't to consume it and hold your moral/ethical course. It's to take the time, energy, and stamina required to curate it into something that will make your life better. Block what hurts and angers you. You're at your best when you're happy and rested. 💜

The best defense against defamation is truth. Of course, be kind. But also be brave.

Today is going to be the most Thursday Thursday I have ever Thursdayed. Twelve give me strength. 💜

It's already been 3 years streaming on Twitch! 😍 I can't believe how insanely lucky I've been to meet, chat, and play with so many absolutely amazing people. Thank you so, so much to everyone who has been a part of it. Being here, now, is all because of your love, support, and encouragement. 💜

Did a double-take this morning when there was an alert on my phone about an FFXIV petition. Can we all just agree that the game was never marketed or sold as a life sim, and that your human rights are not being violated by them limiting how your character can look? My gawd the drama these days. 🙄

I mean, backing this may just be the best thing I've done all week. Maybe you want to, too? From those who brought you FFXIV Teamcraft... 🔨 Teamcrafter - The cozy crafting Roguelite video game on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tea...

Everyone says “this is Thancred” not “how is Thancred…” #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv

#FFXIV Patch 7.3 will expand headgear support for Hrothgar and Viera! 🎩 🧢

@meoni.bsky.social Thank you so much for yet another brilliant recap video! 💜 For those of us who were sleeping or working during the PLL, catch what you missed here! youtu.be/GW2Kn38bNpw?...

To enjoy the conveniences of society, we give our consent to others to govern us. But we have ever held the right to revoke that consent when justice and liberty are threatened. The government serves the people, and when they forget it, the government is forced to change. It's not news, its history.

No, it's not Bozja. It can never be Bozja... 2020 was a different time. We were home more, humbled, and happier to spend time together. But it has the same heart, and in 2025 that's something. It gets my approval. 💜

If your entire opinion on something is that if you don't like it, it's garbage... I'm going to hide you from my socials. I'm tired of this egocentric point of view on everything. "It's just not for me" and "I think it could be improved" need to be brought back because they sound sexy af right now

7.2 ?? I love dawntrail so far and don't care what others say. But also pls hear me and give my son a new outfit cause he needs to run a city and not wear some kitchen tablecloth 😭 #ffxivart #guloolja

Today's Life Advice: Don't ever be afraid to speak your truth. Unless your truth is easily disproven by scientific or empirical evidence. Keep that nonsense to yourself.

Today's Life Advice: Eat something with protein and vitamins in it and take a nap. You'll feel better. 💜

For those of you thinking of going into Eureka for Mogtomes, please note that it is EUREKA ANEMOS ONLY. EN, FR and DE seem to omit this and it's only mentioned in JP before any of you go mental doing things in Pagos.

✨How to catch Glimmerscale! This S-Rank spawning fish is one of the weekly minimog challenges! See how to catch it (and maybe spawn Zona Seeker) here: youtu.be/I66f6D_VYYo #FFXIV

IT'S MOGTOME SEASON YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

Ares, Cat of War, is back at the vet today getting fluids. He will be victorious in his struggles against the evil PANCREATITIS, but I still need to be by the phone just in case anything comes up. For this reason, unfortunately, I need to cancel This Week in Eorzea until next week. Sorry friends! 💜

This beautiful little boy is sick, and because of that our 'This Week in Eorzea' podcast has been postponed until tomorrow so I can make sure he continues to get the care he desperately needs tonight. I apologise for the inconvenience and Pyra and I look forward to chatting with everyone tomorrow!💜

Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories of today, #FishFest! I'm so glad I was a part of it, and can't wait for next year! 💜

3 days until #Fishfest! Ready to see what lurks in the deepest reaches of The Tempest? Join the Nature Art Party where Ardbert takes you through the haunting parts of this abyss. Draw your beautiful surroundings, monsters, or anything that catches your fancy! #FFXIV eorzean.fish/festArtParty...

Anyone want to watch a fishing-based gameshow in FFXIV on Saturday? I'll be there and a whole bunch of fine fish-loving folk will be too. I can't wait! 💜 #FFXIV #FishFest

Today's Life Advice: We are all flawed, broken animals being hurled through space at an astronomical speed. At our best, we are compassionate and noble, and at our worst, we poison ourselves with excess and thrive on the misery of others. Don't take it too seriously. Our time here is short. Be kind.

Today's Life Advice: It's never too late. To find love, go back to school, follow your passions, get into shape. There's no expiration date on your dreams. Maybe it hasn't happened yet, but it still can. Relax, and stop pressuring yourself because you're not where you want to be.💜 I believe in you.

Today's Life Advice: Don't be afraid to live your life being unapologetically you. That doesn't mean don't grow or change or admit when you're wrong. It means don't hide in the shadows trying to occupy as little space as possible. Your opinions, thoughts, hopes, and dreams matter. You matter. 💜

Today's Life Advice: Instead of staying up late, again, treat yourself to an early bedtime. Sleep, wake up, realise you still have 4 more hours to sleep, sleep more. Wake up feeling amazing. Sleep might not fix EVERYTHING, but it comes real close. 💜

Today's Life Advice: Always apologize when you can, genuinely. You can be sorry for something you did, said, sorry for someone's circumstances or sorry things didn't work out the way they wanted. But never apologize for speaking up when something is wrong. Never be sorry for saying your peace. 💜

With Cosmic Exploration having what looks like Star Trek references, I can only feel that this Lopporitt is in trouble. #FFXIV

I spent 2k for this? Thanks. I'll be changing back now. 😆

Today's Life Advice: Intentionally expose yourself to something beautiful today. Take time to enjoy the scenery, smell the brownies, and admire your furry ones. Don't let happiness be an afterthought. Make it a priority.

🎵 History is made by stupid people... Clever people wouldn't even try. If you want to go down in the history books, then do something dumb before you die! 🎵

Today's Life Advice: Never be afraid to do the right thing. Those who will oppose you know they can't beat you - and those too afraid to speak up need you. Having Right on your side grants unfathomable resilience and grace. @godpod.bsky.social protects those who protect others. 💜

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

Today's Life Advice: People are at their best when they are learning and trying something new. If you're restless, bored, anxious, or just wholly uninspired, try something new today! A new hobby, play new content in game, eat at a new restaurant, or browse new bands. 💜

Today's Life Advice: Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Ignore everything else shouting for your attention and just be. You are in control. Not everything needs to be seen, acknowledged, replied to, liked, or reacted to. Not right now, and not until you want to. Life carries on.

Can anyone in the #ffxiv world please get an urgent message to Yoshi P?? I really want him to know that I'd be extremely happy if FFXIV FanFest NA could be in Vancouver, Canada this year. I'd even bake him cookies! 💜💜💜 And of course cookies for you, stalwart Messengers of Light! 💜 Thank you!!

Today's Life Advice: Maybe today you made a mistake. Maybe you didn't get it just right. But you tried. You strove for better but fell short. Tomorrow is another opportunity, and your choice to try again is who you are - not your failed attempts. Practice will get you there.

Today's Life Advice: Many of us are taught that we eat the black jellybeans in a bag of candy, even if we're really meh about them, and they definitely aren't our favourite. Because it's not cool to waste them. But my advice is to just toss them. Life's too short to eat black jelly beans. 💜

Today's Life Advice: The next chance you get, make rest a priority. Sleep is HUGE for memory, the immune system, and your heart. Hydrate well, lay down early, turn off distractions. Let your mind wander and let rest come. You're not being lazy or unproductive. You're recovering from the stress.

I may have said some things last night I'm not proud of. Typical Friday night stream. I'm sure "ass jumpstart" will make its rounds, but "Undisciplined and Bald"... I'm never living that down. 😆 Time to embrace it.

Today's Life Advice: You are where you are, and it's okay. We are all growing and improving, so don't pick on yourself for being imperfect. Time will make you wiser, and simple acts daily towards your goals will pay off big in the future. Just breathe. Everything is slowly coming together. 💜

My kitten captures my expression at work when trying to do something tedious on the computer after lunch...

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

This is all just a fluffy way of saying that even the Lighthouse has a better personality and character arc. Praising creators for their "hard work" on an underwhelming project is for gradeschool. Professionals creating a product for sale deserve legit criticism. www.forbes.com/sites/gabiki...

Hi, Bluesky! 👋 Hope your today is better than yesterday.
