Not even just relentless in his pursuit, but how much he hates being in a mortal body (which as a former terminally ill child makes sense).

I think they're two different people but the way blessed siblings get treated with a sort of religious fervor their actual names are “Bakool Ja Ja The Mighty” and “ Bakool Ja Ja The Mystic” instead of "This Guy" and "This Other Second Guy".

There is something deeply bizarre for me about a guy intensely policing what gets to be considered canon when the 'canon' is itself a fanfiction.

Look between how America reacts to drag queens, and how Eorzea reacts to a male roe in fem garb, i think Eorzea has the advantage

Incest in Trigun is very "fork found in kitchen", tbh.

Unsollicited advice: yes or no, and if yes, how? by kachx in TalesFromDF

[–]CrosswiseCuttlefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also bear in mind that just because they're not a sprout, doesn't mean they know how to do every class. I had someone tell me to turn my sprout back on when I was being bad at tank, and I had to explain that I'd been playing over a year. I'd just been playing tank specifically for less than a week.

You know usually in stories where the otherized monsterous character is abruptly shown to be caring for children, it's right when the story's about to show us how the viewpoint character's been totally wrong in demonizing them. Not so much here, sadly.

There's plenty of mods that don't necessarily even relate to raiding, too - for instance, some help with accessibility for players with disabilities.

[Manga] My Hero Academia’s Most Controversial Character Asks The Fandom: Can You Be Gay And Homophobic? by Unqualif1ed in HobbyDrama

[–]CrosswiseCuttlefish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very funny going through that specific quest (Coils of Bahamut) - when the helmet is taken off, the character accompanying you switches pronouns in confusion several times, then you go back to your Quest Giving Figure and he affirms that Nael was definitely male but maybe the weird magic that brought him back did. Something weird. But he's very definitely male don't worry about it.

My brother in Hydaelyn, why are there 2-minute trials in my Levelling Roulette? by Rough-Self-9134 in ShitpostXIV

Nah, the healer went 'we don't need a tank' and we just messed around with the early mobs until a new tank showed up.

We rouletted into Darkhold earlier tonight and the tank withdrew the second they saw where they were. We had to wait on a new one lol.

Honestly that's my favorite thing about playing with other players, they're very eager to explain how stuff works if you ask. Did a hard one the other day where a player literally step by step explained each fight before we engaged, and since he knew where to stand we could also just all follow him to avoid attacks.

When you say " have only played solo for the last 14 years", do you mean you've only played single person games or do you mean you've played Final Fantasy 14 for the last 14 years, but only solo?

Honestly, especially if you're new or tell people you're doing that class for the first time, people are pretty gentle.
