Insightful read that also explains why I'll soon start looking for a reliable part-time job so that I can spend the rest of the day and brainpower focusing on writing and translation, instead of doing soul-draining marketing and networking nonstop to hopefully afford food

I don't really care for the butt slider but damn, sometimes I do wish TK had even just a little bit of a curve there instead of negative ass... #ffxiv

Fuck

If you can pronounce Ishgardian names, you most certainly can pronounce Turali names. We will not abide by anything less.

Pass the Phone: Cosplay Edition at #FFXIVFanFest

I hope I can be clear with this one bsky.app/profile/onid...

ice cold take. arr is like any of your required reading in high school, like frankenstein, or shakespeare’s works. it has aged some, some parts are slow, and your mileage may vary on whether it sucked, was just fine, or life-changingly amazing. but it’s foundational. objectively.

I'm really sorry #ffxiv

Just saw a post that said in Japanese: "It's crazy that shopping bags cost 3 yen and yet Shadowbringers is going to become free for everyone" lmaooooooo #ffxiv

Zenos haunting the narrative AND Yoshida is pretty funny ngl. He's just a freak who won't leave you alone and escapes containment at every chance #ffxiv

Oh, another thing about the use of genAI in the panel. If you're sending your feedback, pls remember to specify that you don't condone its use in localization either. Because if the company thinks they can get away with it because people are used to it, that'll be the thing to go instead #ffxiv

if you are mad, direct it at the square CEO and use it to fill the survey! there are plenty of folks who don't want to use ai with bosses who beat their employees over the head with it. it's good that koji pointed out he was forced to use it. now there is an opportunity to tell the CEO to fuck off ✌️

Hey, if you're pissed at Michael-Christopher Koji Fox for using AI for his presentation, here's something actionable - the official feedback form for Fanfest. Roughly 3h:58min in the 2nd Day video on Youtube if you want to verify the QR code and not scan a random code or link. sqex.to/3dyLE

The flame-haired stranger #ffxivart #evercold

As soon as the Key appeared and we knew its function, I wrote on my liveblogging notebook that I suspected our mission from now on would be to connect the reflections in a non traumatic and arguably more enriching way than that of the Ascians. And... looks like I got very close to the mark #ffxiv

Soken is basically IRL G'raha he's TINY #ffxiv

>happens in a cold ahh place >blue/silver color scheme >au ras being a central thing >new job metas unseen since 1.0 >paladin assigned main tank at birth again >non standard rotations for everyone >everyone going bananas over fat cat good enough welcome back Heavensward

I really really really hope that one of the Character Creator improvements will be separating facial hair from face type. I am begging on my hands and knees please let face 4 miqo'te have facial hair #ffxiv

the new shb artwork is fucking incredible

If the catpeople of the Fourth do not have custom dialogues for miqoand hrothgar I’ll be very very sad #ffxiv

wait what #ffxiv

ダングリくんスゴイ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

AND IT WAS HEAVENSWARD 2.0 FOLKS #ffxiv

I saw a post some time ago about how the Arcadion would have cured Zenos and I'm not sure he'd have liked it, you know? It feels like the antithesis of what he looked for in a battle which was genuine hatred from his opponent. IMO he'd have seen it as frivolous entertainment #ffxiv

Holding off on creating a JP FFXIV account to apply for JP Fanfest until Saturday hits, just in case the reveal is underwhelming lmao #ffxiv

omg new Local58TV video dropped

I regret to inform you that this is me

Why could block the entire userbase of Bluesky, but he will NEVER escape this story as long as he lives.

i love living in the first village of an rpg man. friendly neighbors, music is chill af, we even got that one kid we adopted into the village of whom the ancient prophecy was written about. anyway there’s a big ceremony tomorrow can't wait to still be alive after it

the japanese government is trying to loosen their ban on exporting lethal weapons, which is obviously a breach of article 9 japanese besties do your thing and go yell at takaichi www.kantei.go.jp/jp/forms/goi...

New expansion reveal on Saturday I'm #ffxiv

Congrats to the BAFTA winners but more than anything: huge support to @silverscriptgames.bsky.social who's had their trailer removed at the very last moment. Indie games tackling difficult (& real) topics are ✨important✨, please go wishlist The Quiet Things 🤍 store.steampowered.com/app/2288520/...

I used to think that my favorite things, movies, comics, games, all came out fully formed in a single smooth process. I still tend to fall into this trap. I must constantly remind myself that a work of art is supposed to take time and multiple passes before getting to a publishable state.

one thing that i hope changes in woke 2 is that we decide, as a society, to leave behind trump impressions, especially when quoting some dumbass thing he did or said. impersonating donald trump should go in the "your least funny coworker" impression pile along with borat, peter griffin and hank hill

Watched I Saw The TV Glow at Waseda's Shochiku. Boy that hit hard

When did humankind collectively start to decide that work in the arts and humanities was going to be unviable to survive? I'd really like to know and also the why was this accepted as a given with close to zero resistance

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

IF U SEE THIS #ART , PLS SHARE! Just a few days and im gonna start treat patients at my uni in Gaza! I’m waiving all fees for them, but between tuition & dental supplies, the bills r adding up. Looking for a little help to cover the basics so I can keep fixing smiles✨️🦷 chuffed.org/project/layl...

Soken is adorable what the hell #ffxiv

The six-winged mount... Perfect for my Lightwarden T'khot design... Now I have to get it 😭

You and 7 clowns band together to clear an ultimate and eventually realize that there are, in fact, 9 clowns.

You have no idea how happy am I to see Jullus (and Zero, but she was more of a given) again 😭 I just hope they ditch the hint of romance between them or AT MOST make it one-way from Jullus #ffxiv

Halmarut is so beautifullll #ffxiv

localizers are artists. letterers are artists. translators are artists. the dehumanization of localizers by this industry is shameful.

I'm... more concerned than excited for FanFest haha 😭Gods please let my gut feeling be wrong... #ffxiv

My friend, my tomodachi

Miqo'te going "prrrp?" when they're woken up by a gentle touch from a loved one. Like and repost if you agree.
