EO Solo vs DDOS Prog Update: Got one file to 71. The other file got DDOS'd on 66. Since I only want to prog double sets, now i gotta get the second file to 71 before I can continue. But man ... I had close to full poms and 3 onion knights.

Spent a week fighting EO amid the wave of ddos to build my second file up to match my first. After several restarts, both files are at 61. So now the play is to run double sets to the top. Super motivated to have a solo clear in all the deep dungeons. Current EO PB: Timeout on 99

So ... it looks like fanfest IS in the cards this time around

Narrowly avoided losing ANOTHER EO deep dungeon file to ddos. Why the fuck does this always seem to happen when I go for the EO title? Anyways, me and Onion Boy are gonna go down to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this to all blow over. Is ... is Onion Boy old enough to drink?

Accidentally fell in love with a weapon glamour, so now I'm rebuilding my PT aetherpool #Viera | #gpose | #gposers

This epic duo took down the PT end boss while my friends cheered on from the afterlife (they were new to fight, is all good). [ #ffxiv | #Viera | #gpose | #gposers | #ModlessMonday ]

Accidentally dropped & broke my phone today. It was one of the last ones made with a headphone jack. Insurance sending replacement, no idea if they still have this one - it's possible, but VERY unlikely. I won't say no to a new model upgrade after six years, but part of me is gonna be sad F

Finally able to sneak in some time away from work/family/static to finish my first PT climb. Time to work on solo run. [ #Viera | #gposers ]

ICE agents prowling around my hometown. Lovely.

Resumes playing FF Tactics after static. Blinks. Why is it 2 A.M.?

FF Tactics arrived. See y'all later.

New MCH glam, because reasons

New Viper relic goes so hard

Still sick, still slowly recovering. Did some relic weapon roulettes, then spent the rest of night bringing the missus into my criminal empire (Schedule 1 multiplayer) I am the "Dad-Shoes Dealer"

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. [ #Viera | #gpose | #gposers ]

Many Cosmic tools were upgraded today, two left to go. Progress on relic weapon aetherpool was made, and another M7S clear resulted in new WAR pants. Not a bad day.

Recently remodeled and now open. Stop in, have a drink, and help me name this place. Something other than "Elasmussy's." Nevermind the axe, that just helps keep the peace. [ #Viera | #gpose | #gposers ]

So this happened. Knew there was a reason I needed to wear my M3s Kenny Omega jacket tonight. Side note, dat's a lot of bunnies. #Viera | #Arcadion | #Gpose

Spontaneous prog night to get new healer familiar with the rest of us. Got fight down to 0.2% at enrage. Five different people try to take the blame for not clearing. Relax people, it's all good. We go back, we clean it up, we win. EZ.

Fought death. Lived to tell the tale. Got the axe from the gift shop. Had to, matched his hair.

All of the XIV stuff today reminded me of one of my favorite tweets.

can we reaffirm our agreement that we DO NOT TALK ABOUT MODS/PLUGINS IN GAME. they're already looking the other way when it comes to people posting pictures on social media, can we please not provoke them

Cleared Ex 5. Sadly the perfect scenario of the WAR weapon and wings dropping did not happen. But at least the clear did. Went back with a friend later to try to help them get a clear, but was blocked at every turn by the incredible power of dumb summoners managing to wipe the raid.

Alright everyone, enjoy it while you can. The new gathering set is out and clearly the game has peaked. [ #Viera | #gpose | #gposers ]

Hey now Sunray Ray. That's a grinding wheel, not food.

Oh yeah. I did this the other day too. Done with all HW relics. Time to toss them all in a closet and forget about them.

Hot tip for when you're doing reclears in PF. When it comes time to roll on the loot, do what I do: Need roll a 99. I guarantee you will leave with more loot if you Need roll a 99. To the people who did not get loot in my PF, i am not remotely sorry.

Haven't posted one of these in a while. Got SMN done with ARR books yesterday, and just rocketed it to complete today. 2 more weapons to finish for the ARR set.

RIP Ryno. You are the reason I'm a Cubs fan.

I CAUGHT FORK AND GARLIC IN THE SAME WEEK? WHAT EVEN IS THIS TIMELINE? The egg & the whale are all that remain. Maybe I'll get this done before I become a great-grandfather after all. Maybe.

When I woke up today, I thought the thing I would be talking about the most was the new deep dungeon, Pilgrim's Traverse. What I actually ended up talking about the most today is all of the incredible awful things Hulk Hogan did in his lifetime. Hopefully tomorrow is more pleasant. Goodnight!

Ayo m6s reclear. My rolls were shit, didn't win anything. Maybe helm next week with pages. Hopefully the live letter brings good stuff. Also: holy fuck I caught the Elpis fork!!!! Light at the end of the ... wait no, nevermind, I still have to get past the Shadowbringers Egg Demon 🥚

All credit to the wise words of @fisherfruity.bsky.social, as well as the QoL of re-rolling lures that DT gave us. 286 down. 3 to go. Easily done in two ... maybe three years-ish?

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from your device without comment.

Try's to be sneaky about the fact that they're bidding on a large plot, but accidentally makes a social media post about it. Wait, fuck.

Hey I'm so glad that i'm the subject matter expert for this suddenly high profile project. Directors way above my paygrade are tripping over themselves to take it over and put their name on it to please our new corporate overlords ... and argue with me about the best way to design it. Hooray!

That moment you start setting up a gpose and 3 hours disappears.

Saw a picture on my feed of old Chicago Stadium from just before it got torn down, and now I'm sitting here waxing nostalgic for Blackhawks hockey from the 80's & 90's. I swear the Madhouse on Madison was the loudest place on earth. (old man continues to daydream for the rest of the morning)
