A message from Mike

My country sucks, so there will be no meme post of my OCs in American celebration garb. Go support your local LGBTQ+ organization, fuck ICE, trans rights are human rights and Free Palestine 💜

( Imagine getting super excited as the delivery truck rolls over your spine, that you'll finally get isekai'd to your favorite MMO. You open your eyes. You're in FFXIV! As the alpaca handler that has to stand next to the bear from Annihilation. )

Fellow Americans, remember that the first amendment gives you the legal right to call those in power whatever names you want. Here's some of my favorites: Tangerine Tyrant Peach-flavored Putin Mango Mousslini Cheeto Chester the Ch ... *Epstien Friend* Don the Con Carrot Colored Caligula

This is likely going to piss off some people but ... "In my headcanon, <canonically underage character> is actually an adult." Then put your money where your mouth is and portray them visually as an adult. If you don't, then you're barely a step away from "that loli is 100 years old so it's okay."

You want to stay in touch with people you've met? Let Mama Sable teach ya'll youngins a surefire trick to making that happen, no plugins necessary. TRY TALKING TO THEM! COMMUNICATE! SPEAK! Ask them how they're doing, how they're enjoying the game, what they're up to! Don't stalk, just talk.

Okay, the upstairs of my house has been empty for MONTHS ... no clue what to put up here ... any suggestions? Utterly at a loss, here. Ground floor has a comfy den, large couches, soft carpet, and a cozy little reading nook at the opposite side. Basement has a lounge, stage, and cafe/bar.

also trying to frame your plugin as a way for people to keep fond memories when THIS is the reason you actually gave in your discord server for making the plugin is gross lol (also apologies, I am trying to get better about including alt text on my posts!)

rest in fucking peace bozo you won't be missed

Job? Singular!? Lol, no. Which job am I going to play? Yes. Evolved or Reborn? Yes. Yes, that means I'm going to re-learn all 21 current jobs in Reborn, and all 23 jobs in Evolved. And still play BST and BLU when I feel like it.

This interview in Vanity Fair came out in 2010, and this exchange from it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

Submersible upgrades, complete. Gonna have to install them tomorrow morning, once my current routes return.

Damn. Remind me to not reply to any posts on this site or I'll see people going at each other's throats in my notifs. Fucking hell ya'll. Go touch some grass.

Been working on upgrading my submersibles to the 48h build, but turns out ... getting 1100 Darksteel Ore is very time consuming! Also, not looking forward to farming 500 Titanium Ore ... that's gonna suck butt.

hi! did you know this feature? each ffxiv character created has a lodestone ID that can be found in the URL on the character's page. it's the number in the red box! it's permanently tied to the character, too, meaning it stays no matter how many times you fantasia or change your character's name!

Lore should serve the story, not the story serving the lore.

You know ... I do love my browser's "video popout" feature.

Shareholders.

J.R.R. Tolkien didn't painstakingly handcraft the world of Middle-Earth and it's fantastical histories, for you to tell me AI is inevitable.

Agatha Christie didn't help codify the rules of mystery novels and then take great delight in breaking them for you to tell me AI is inevitable.

Sometimes, playing a Black Mage is really fun.

An incredibly stupid thought I had and wanted to draw for the longest time #FFXIV

QTP with a game you’re currently playing *tink tink tink* ... *clang clang*

Speaking of my subs ... I think it's long overdue for the upgrade to the 48-hour route. But, to do that, I need to do another set of bulk crafting. Shouldn't be too hard.

Put in a real world setting, there are really only three possible options for Sable (or really any Lalafell). 1.) Martial arts, using small size as an advantage with THAT speed and power. 2.) A spear, because spears are, historically speaking, the most OP weapon. 3.) Alchemy. Yes, the crafter.

Don't take what Tim Sweeney says at face value. His only goal is to force everyone into the ecosystem he controls so he can extract rent from everyone forever. He is not making statements from a position of good faith.

Did SE nerf subs recently, or am I just really unlucky. For the past two weeks or so, I've been getting really piss-poor results on my subs returning. Today, I got a mere 250k, where my daily average a month ago was easily double that.

If people dislike Stormblood, they missed the entire point.

Jax if she wasn't a huge piece of shit.

I MAY have started a lalafell revolution this weekend #ffxiv

I think people are missing the obvious irony, here. If people are arguing on the internet, it means they have direct access to the entire sum of human knowledge. Just another case of willful stupidity fueling a misinformed outrage.

Hehehehe... Three Echad Rings with clever use of the delivery box.

TODAY IS JUNETEENTH WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO MARK THE END OF SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES EXCEPT THAT IT NEVER ACTUALLY ENDED, IT JUST MORPHED INTO THE INDUSTRIAL PRISON COMPLEX WHERE MILLIONS OF MOSTLY BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE ARE USED AS FREE LABOR IN DANGEROUS WORK E.G. CONSTRUCTION AND FIREFIGHTING.

I liked that episode.

stormblood is so good when you don't have annoying assholes in your ear telling you it's bad but a necessary step to get to the REALLY good stuff (shadowbringers)

Well, that was an unexpected turn of events ... Was leveling an alt in La Theine Plateau to get another Echad Ring, and ran into Bloodtear Bladurf. Swapped to my Main, ran out and killed it to get the Lumbering Horn. Decided to randomly check for the other one in Konschtat ...

The biggest thanks IN THE WHOLE WORLD to @ksilberne.bsky.social for this edit to one of my all-time favorite art pieces! She's got her horns now!!!

Just one more day

Evergreen.

I think the most hilarious part about being Ace is coming onto BlueSky and seeing all this unregulated horny energy and knowing that statistically, my unwillingness to have kids is more than compensated for. Stay horny, ya'll. Because if you do, then I don't have to!

Just seeing this makes me hear Aerith's Theme.
