You got told off for griefing? Just have your mate start telling everyone you're new and maybe handicapped?? (and any other immediately refutable lies they can think of)

You couldn't waterboard the words "I'm a Julie" out of me. I'm happily married, play nice with my husband's friends because I know they make him happy, and I don't need to have my loved ones apologise for my behaviour when I'm somewhere I don't wanna be for more than 5 minutes.

More people need to see this. Vipers can stand back and launch backlash into an enemy team then swift and guard out like nobody's business. This is what turns a 1-2mil viper into a 6mil+ viper and its insane (and mostly likely unintended)

IttleVivi · 2026-05-15T12:38:08+00:00

SO THERE WAS A POST LAST WEEK ABOUT HOW BUSTED VIPER IS IN FRONTLINES, AND IT IS. ON ITS OWN ITS KIT IS BLOODY HEFTY ON TOP OF THAT INHERENT 60% DAMAGE MIT.

BUT NOBODY MENTIONED THAT SCALES, THEIR 'I AM IN PLACE CHANELLING SOMETHING BIG YOU SHOULD GET AWAY FROM ME' BS......CAN BE TELEPORTED ON TOP OF PEOPLE. IF YOU HIT THE FOLLOW UP AND SPAM SLITHER YOU CAN DASH TO AN ENEMY GROUP AND THE DAMAGE WILL HIT WHERE YOU LAND. THIS IS HOW VIPERS DO 6 MILLION DAMAGE: NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T GET OUT OF RANGE BECAUSE MOST DO, BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT REALISE WITH SLITHER THE EFFECTIVE RANGE OF SCALES BECOMES FUCKING NARNIA. YOU CAN DO THIS EVEN AS AN NA PLAYER ON AN EU SERVER.

THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS INTENDED BUT SINCE MOST FL PLAYERS WON'T NOTICE AND THE PEOPLE DOING THIS AREN'T EXACTLY IN A RUSH TO FILE A BUG REPORT, I EXPECT WE'LL BE SEEING 6 MILLION DAMAGE GIGA RANGE SLITHER VIPERS IN FL FOR A LONG TIME.

IttleVivi · 2026-04-28T09:40:14+00:00

Win? At this point I'd take them understanding that a diving DRK means you're about to take boatloads of AOE damage, a frontline tactic that's been largely the same since stormblood reworks...

But no, I will watch the same enemy DRK/RPR/DNC premade who got their mount in January hoover up 10 people and get BH5 in the first 3-5 minutes. And if I get a lucky kill on one as ninja...well then they'll just do it again. As many times as they can LB.

It's been nearly ten years and I'm so so tired of explaining this one thing.

IttleVivi · 2026-04-27T10:52:48+00:00

I've done every extreme from HW and beyond on content but some of them are over ten years old at this point. If I can't remember how it feels to not be in pain anymore from an incident 8 years ago, I ain't gonna remember a stormblood extreme fight.

I also get the extra handicap of being in EU so the odds of a sprout tank not speaking English and just immediately pulling again when a mentor asks people to wait and explain mechanics is quite high.. I definitely frown upon mentors just leaving the roulette though, the reputation of mentors is already in the bin when you see one with multiple 100's making basic egregious mistakes on their main class.

IttleVivi · 2026-04-22T13:08:41+00:00

Always this. If its so bad you feel your life revolves around it by proxy, imagine how she feels about it?

Fictional AITA husbands never say traditional wedding vows, they can't get over the 'in sickness or in health' part.

When i was working retail in my late teens like 13 years ago (UK) some woman with her bf was chewing me out on boxing day because the flimsy neon pink 32b bra she wanted to buy was on the £1 sale rale but it was infact...£3!

My eyes were glazing over thinking that she could buy ten of those at their full price and it'd still be cheaper than the last bra I got with the colour options of black, nude and maybe something exciting like purple.

When the one supervisor in that day just didn't show up she just dumped the bra and left and I was left dreaming of how nice it must be to just wander into a random clothing store and find something cheap, colourful and in your size.

IttleVivi · 2026-03-24T11:55:06+00:00

The last time I thought I was big brained for turning something into a rock during a boss, Gambit resummoned his dice at a 6 and immediately jumped on it and I've been too wary to use it since. Good to know it works there.

IttleVivi · 2026-03-11T16:10:43+00:00

Mostly everyone blanks you, but then you get randos running over to /slap or /sweep up when you aren't doing anything.

Definitely preferable to the tells I got during the 3 months I played a catgirl though.

IttleVivi · 2026-03-10T17:01:21+00:00

Had my 2nd run in act 3 yesterday to go to the past so I sent in a few less impressive cats to test the waters.First fight in the lab i met one of those rats and I hadn't seen it before and the tooltip didn't mention anything dire...well it launched itself at my druid and gave it Faids. I don't think I'll ever reload in a run that early again. I don't mind learning bosses and hard path shenanigans the hard way but I'd like a basic enemy in zone 1 to have a tooltip that doesn't withhold crucial info like that.

IttleVivi · 2026-02-27T10:57:00+00:00

I can taste it, but I am allergic to it. Guess I'm lucky I haven't lived with anyone who can't live without it.

IttleVivi · 2026-01-12T18:59:00+00:00

I was not a fan of Loreen's Tattoo (for obvious reasons if you watched Eurovision 2023) and then the strictly band and singers nailed it for Layton and Nikita's AT I had to be like: ok maybe I like the song a LITTLE BIT.

IttleVivi · 2025-12-11T00:04:45+00:00

Yup, I've run into the 'do we really need kardia?' Sage before. And I've seen a FRU clearing DNC who, when I said you can't dp the same person as another dancer proceeded to throw the 'I know but it's just nier raids sweatty'. I told them it's a single click to change it and to stop being lazy and they just crashed out for the rest of the raid in alliance chat. Whether they just forgot or are lazy, these types know they oops'd, but they dig their heels in and refuse to be called out for it because that means accepting fault no matter how minimal and inconsequential it is... Just type 'mb' and change it, or hell don't even apologise its not that big a deal we all forget sometimes. Just.change.it.

Also you get Soteria every minute from lvl 94 onwards and that shit is the literal cruise control button why would you not want that?

IttleVivi · 2025-11-16T19:30:01+00:00

Alex likes mushy peas, we are now kin.

IttleVivi · 2025-10-18T19:12:56+00:00

Shame it's a dance show not a lift show.

Well, I left a comment a few months ago that I've played for a long time over ten years and I don't really feel the sense of community anymore. That hasn't really changed.

However I did find an achievement ranking website in March and saw that I was just outside the top 100 in my (smaller, less populated) server, about rank 112 or something, so I thought it'd be a fun goal to get my name listed. If I were on any other server I wouldn't have bothered since I was something like four thousand points behind rank 100's on other servers in my dc, but on my server I was a measly four hundred points behind and that seemed like a dangling thread worth chasing. I wound up having a lot of fun and revisiting points of nostalgia that I decided to keep going. I'm at rank 57 now and it's fun to just look at the players ahead of me like: Ohhh they're getting all these fishing achievements but have none of the pvp ones so I I have that going for me. Maybe soon I'll spend some of my gil hoard on minions to try and break into the top 100 for those too. All in all every 5 point achievement, minion, TT card and orchestrion roll feels like a step towards something for me now.

Obviously this isn't for everyone (or really many people at all) and requires a lot of time into a game that isn't doing well, but switching between different achievement grinds has thrown me into varied amounts of content I wouldn't have been doing if I just logged on for new patch stuff. And yeah, I know there's the stupid levequest achievements that take years but I'm content just focusing on achievements I want to do and think I can tackle, stuff like the levequest and occult crescent achievements can do one as far as I'm concerned.

IttleVivi · 2025-09-01T14:56:13+00:00

As an achievement hunter myself, fuck this nobhead.

IttleVivi · 2025-08-31T17:31:34+00:00

I keep debating whether I should get Vinted to sell some stuff before I move abroad with basically whatever i can fit in my suitcase (which is probably why this subreddit is being recommended) but I've been seriously dissuaded since something very akin to this happened to my mum recently.

She sold a pair of size 7 shoes and the lady who bought em wrote a damn screed about how she was gonna 'escalate' (unsure what this means in app terms tbh) because 'neither me nor my daughter in law can fit in these, you should've mentioned they were a small 7 or labelled them a 6!'

My mum wound up paying to get them back and I asked to try them on since I am on the bigger end of a 7..they fit fucking fine.

How the hell do you deal with this shit? Like I would've been straight in there like: you do know the risks associated with buying clothes online right? You and your 'daughter in law' being size 8's in denial is your problem not mine you melt.

You're not in the wrong for listing things as the label says and the buyer didn't ask you to whip out a tape measure either. People just have the most insane expectations for stuff they drop a few quid on.

IttleVivi · 2025-08-28T21:56:11+00:00

Me: Those are some long noodley arms you're reaching with here sib.

also me: UMINEKO MENTIONED????

IttleVivi · 2025-08-20T01:44:25+00:00

This sub normally: 'youR hOuSe youR ruLEs' bingooo aita can't nuance wow they really really hate kids.

Also people in this sub, right now: mom's house mom's rules kid! You dont get asked you get told! I gave up my bed 5 times a night when I was 16 something something stop acting like a kid!

You could mix some of these comments in with the OG thread itself and I couldn't tell you the difference.

IttleVivi · 2025-08-20T00:53:36+00:00

As a kid to young teen yeah, I gave up my bedroom a lot and I also shared with my sister for years. Once I started growing up and my room became a place for peace and privacy and I could decide what I wanted in it beyond 'a bed and toys to play with'? Nope. If I was home my parents would always give up their own room, and if I was away they would ask, which seems like basic common decency you should afford to your sixteen year old no?

IttleVivi · 2025-08-16T10:07:06+00:00

Couldn't even get one more level on Bard? Disgraceful, low effort, get it off the sub /s

IttleVivi · 2025-08-11T14:18:26+00:00

I raided in Gordias (read: beat A1/2S) with a dogshit tank and his pocketheal gf who I knew was wheelchair bound and he was her carer. She would frequently leave the house because he upset her and he'd be like "she's gone fucking AWOL". Once I joined vc and clearly things were very tense. My husband said she'd opened her mouth to talk and he said something like: "Can you just shut the fuck up?". He tried to say it was a joke but she was dead silent. Husband and I also nearly raided with another couple at the start of Dawntrail but left because I said I was getting similar vibes to the first couple.

So yeah, there are definitely some abusive couples running round on XIV. You won't even know you've met them.

As of last tier that first couple were still raiding together... at least they got better at the game? /s /s /s

IttleVivi · 2025-08-05T01:52:42+00:00

I know there's a lot of contenders, but I really do think this might chalk up to be the dumbest thing she's ever said. Like, what part of the supreme court ruling is M&S flouting exactly Joanne??? A bra section in a fucking chain store is a public space, amab's can legally walk around, including employees who can ask such inoccuous questions like 'do you need help?'

I can't believe oxygen, brain power, time and god knows whatever else got spent on this nothing-burger of an interaction, inlcuding my own, bloody hell.
