THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

After not bothering to try for months on end, three circlets of light in three days. Now I don't have to do Consort Radahn EVER AGAIN (until Tarnished Edition).

.hack//SIGN is so fucking special and a very good chunk of it is that the "trapped in an MMO world and percieving it as physical in a way that the rest of the cast does not" is not framed as empowering or fantastical, but as an immediate and troubling sign of dissociation

holy shit. hell of an analysis

the Black Panthers were right

Account level everything, and I'm serious. Obfuscate Lodestone IDs, overhaul all social systems to allow for actual safety across your account FROM an account (a person) rather than a character (disposable). This also applies to glamour unlocks (transmog), achievements, everything.

if you ever feel bad about yourself because someone in FFXIV put you down in a way that was weirdly aggressive and personal, i implore you to remember that this tweet is still very true. it's arguably *more* true in 2026 than it was in 2022, because modding has become so much easier

Discord might have cut ties but they're still planning to roll out age verification globally next month. Continue to cancel your nitro subscriptions, if you haven't done so already. Don't boosts servers as well. Hit them in the wallet.

whoever needs to read this please stop checking clearsky. especially if you have BPD or some other such kind of imbalance or insecurity or whathaveyou. speaking personally. it will destroy certain types of people inside. like you and me. don't do it. "oh but im curious" dont be. kill the voice

Roses are red Stem held between teeth I ordered us takeout but it's

This is why it's so bizarre when people are like "How am I supposed to explain all this trans stuff to my children" because Enid fuckin' Blyton managed to do it in one page in NINETEEN FORTY TWO. Get a grip, for gods sake.

i often think about this review

Oh Aether for raid and every venue ad has gambling, prizes, giveaways... They all sound like casinos, even if they're not billed that way. Fully stocked bar for RP? What are people even doing man, what happened to this scene, I'm getting end-stage Rondak's Portal hives just reading this stuff.

Some time in 2009, I sold George Stroumboulopoulos a pair of headphones. I was the only one in the shop who recognized him, and it's how I found out I'm basically immune to being starstruck.

i would like to see bluesky eliminate visible follower counts if only because it might curtail some of the Senator Posting in the ffxiv community. u dont gotta Make A Statement always. sometimes u can move in silence. u can just post your guy and shake ass. it's fine

Every expansion is a year or so. I hate the time bubble, it's less and less functional the further we travel and the more "some time later" cutscenes we get. But I also avoid the MSQ in my RP, so things like NPC age slippage also don't hit me.

i knew this clip was going get a lot of use going forward

xiv and xv get covers of fly me to the moon and stand by me but know that square enix sprang for the sinatra version of my way where it actually mattered

Oh imagine that! Don’t give discord your face and certainly not your ID

discord lied. don't give them your ID or a facial scan. don't trust them with your ID or biometric data.

I think it's so funny that in FFXIV, dragons are literally aliens. 👽 <- this guy is boring af

Reposting this with alt text.

The more often I see people concerned with if/how much their rp breaks lore (especially in Lore Shallow Ocean Example One FFXIV)... The more I miss freeform roleplaying in a co-created world on a chat room with no persistent memory. We used to be so free.

Huge day

bouncing off the quoted post below to say please PLEASE take this as another general violent shoulder-shaking to not rely on pinned posts in discord servers as sole archival points for information back important documentation up locally to a .txt or something, anything

small crab eating a grape (important)

I got an email saying that they cannot review email submissions, and only receive customer support questions through this form: dis.gd/contact I would try submitting a complaint through there.

People talking about a lack of child friendly spaces... How about some adult friendly spaces? The internet is 4 apps and you can't say fuck on any of them unless you follow it up with a minority group of your choosing.

Burn every walled garden at once. Return to the open fields of forums, journals, and self-hosted blogs. Abandon "one tool for all purposes" platforms.

IM NOT GONNA USE GEMINI IM NOT GONNA USE COPILOT IM NOT GONNA USE CHATGPT IM NOT GONNA USE CLAUDE IM NOT GONNA USE GROK ALL YALL CAN GET FUCKED INTO THE SUN

No comments.

Fanfiction doesn’t exist to be “good” it exists because something went horribly wrong with you while you were watching a tv show and you’re gripped by madness

Every time somebody tells me they tone down their OCs and sanitize their creative work for fear of backlash I immediately grow horns. No. Get in the car. We're going straight to Derangement HQ with a side of Fuck That fries.

Behold; the boy

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

This game broke pre-ordering as an entire practice for me, fuck Babylon's Fall.

Context-free FC voice chat quote of the day: "Nobody wants to clean out the bong milk!"

As a certified hater, I never get into fights with these easy steps: 1 - complain in private to your best buddy who Gets It 2 - don't bother posting about it 3 - if you see a thing that sucks: scroll away
