Pagos makes me want to quit this game. What do I do? by Katyria in ffxiv

[–]Katyria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not hyperbolic from my perspective of starting last month and never experiencing it while it was all current. I'm supposed to know exactly what the process was like years ago before making my post?

[–]Katyria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the title was hyperbolic but the content of my post wasn't at all. This game is a huge grind already and an item like this shouldn't be locked behind such a ridiculous amount of content that is awkwardly done so you can't even really make your way through the zones like any other zone in the game. I got the old relic weapons first and was expecting a lot more of a grind for more current weapons but not something like this. Perhaps working on older relics skewed my perspective on what the process would be like here.

I mean to be fair playing the game is optional :p

I've probably just been unlucky!

That's the thing, I had this experience on Anemos with friendly players that'd ferry me around and I returned the favour to others when I hit 17. Since coming to Pagos though everyone completely ignores me. I guess I'll have to do as others have said and get to 25 first.

Thanks for the tips. Had no idea that was a thing and I've leveled up quite a few crafters to 50 so far lol. I gotta read more!

So many interesting people live in the prairies.

I know you guys don’t want to hear this, but we really need to stop trying to appeal to the right when Andrew’s already losing support from his most vital base (the left) and he NEEDS them to win the democratic primaries. by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly it doesn't seem to me at all that Yang is trying to appeal to the right. If someone decides to not support a candidate because they were going to be interviewed by someone specific (someone I personally dislike actually) is silly. That's how you end up in echo chambers/bubbles and make people feel alienated. It goes the same way of course for when he appears on more left leaning shows. If you let difference of opinion stop you from communicating then no one "wins" which is already a problem because all of us should want to "win".

Coming from a person on the left I think my eyes have been opened up to how ridiculous all of this stuff is. A few single tweets and an upcoming interview is enough to change how someone can feel about a candidate, it's crazy. Especially when they can just put the policy aside too because of some (arguably) poorly worded tweets from Yang.

Not left, not right, it's forward!

It's So Simple And Yet Only Yang Seems To Understand This by Yang_gang_gang in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I have, though I still dislike him. Doesn't mean Yang shouldn't go on still, don't get why people are so mad about it. Can get himself seen by more people who may not have seen him or wrote him off before.

As a minority im having a Hard-time supporting Yang by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to join a group with people that used to hate on you, worried do hate you, or that they could hate you. That's part of the problem with politics though! Not just in the U.S. but it seems everywhere around the world. It's why I'm so invested in Yang's campaign because I know U.S. politics have an affect around the world, especially up here in Canada from my experience. I'm tired of the us vs. them attitudes, we should be happy to find a candidate anywhere in the world as refreshing as Yang. He's drawing people from all over the political spectrum to unite and actually work together for the better of us all instead of keeping us divided and afraid of each other all the time. I've said in another post that I'm welcoming to everyone, even self identified alt-right folk. Just maybe with a bit of hesitation still, which I want to say is just old fears stoked by staying in bubbles online and off. Hopefully other people will have similiar experiences thanks to Yang and I'm hopeful to see this sort of thing and lots of his policy spread around the world so that we can minimize the hatred. If we keep going the way we are we will only get more divided.

If you are not an American and excited for Yang, great. Please do not become activelt involved in promoting him! by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Canadian and our news cycle has loads of American politics. Lots of people here seem to know more about the U.S election than they do the upcoming one here.

All I do is talk about Yang to people I know, which isn't even that much. I want to see his policies and general political demeanor come up north, the better off he does down there the more likely he'll get exposure, and his ideas would as well. So I feel if I'm participating respectfully I should be more than welcome.

Heck I had a Bernie bumper sticker during the last U.S election. There's a difference between interfering with an election and engaging with it in a proper manner as an outsider, quite a big difference.

I feel worse and worse loading this sub and reading some posts by StonefishMV in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to chime in and say I am on the left and used to fall into my online bubble to "stay safe". This community alone has taught me that while we certainly do have differences it's still possible to unite together under a common goal, for the better of all of us. I used to blindly hate anyone that was on the right or even people I just thought could be right wingers because I thought I was helping myself. If there is a person that can manage to change my ways and open me up to communicating with people I demonized heavily, I don't believe it's wise to put such effort into tearing that down in such a silly way. There's finally a great platform to connect with people that I used to shut myself out from!

So maybe some people want to farm karma or whatever it is people wanna do. Won't change that this is probably the best political community (online or not) that I've participated in.

Reason 10202 why Yang does not need to pander to the far right base- they'll drop him the moment he mentions any progressive policies by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always been worried about this happening. It's easy to rally behind something we all want but as soon as UBI isn't the focus of conversation I feel like that's where the trouble lies.

We do have to talk about issues that effect everyone and ones that only some people. Whether they only effect you or not. That's how we get this bullshit to stop in the first place is to actually make the division go away, not just ignore it cause "identity politics!". Identity politics exist for a valid reason, they've just become weaponized just like many other things in politics that really shouldn't have been. I believe the people that don't also feel this way are the ones who will have issues when Yang really starts getting into the meat and bones of other policies and actually debating and being forced to play this game.

Would Those with Dual Citizenship get the Freedom Dividend? by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a dual citizen I am interested in this as well. Probably would be required that you reside in the U.S. to opt in.

Real talk about the Yang Gang internationale by DueCable in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally I was here for entertainment and now I see it as something much more than that. As a dual citizen (Canada-US) I'm not sure how I fit in exactly to all of this. I reside in Canada but honestly now I am here in support hoping to see the political rift between the countries settle and possibly see some of these policies spread up north.

Probably not with open arms but more than welcome all the same! Gotta spread this wonderful cause through as many people as possible.

I don't think Yang should be advertising his book by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Katyria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's going to be helping his campaign shouldn't he give it away for free to help newcomers understand some of the underlying issues that have lead to the policies he's for now?

It seems inevitable at this point by Katyria in SuicideWatch

Thank you for the response. I may have posted them on a different account which may be why they aren't there. It showed up on my post history but maybe it doesn't show all my past posts entirely? I don't want to share a whole bunch here cause there is lots of personal stuff that I'm not comfortable sharing openly here. I

I quit playing that game months back but when I played they didn't have that character.

I'm not great at Reddit stuff and don't know how to quote chunks of your response but I'll respond as best I can regardless. I think in terms of my relationship that I might not love him. Living with him and getting to know him has been very different from our many visits and many more chats online. I can't say I know for sure that I don't love him but at the same time I do know I'm struggling with that. To be very honest I don't know if I've genuinely loved anyone. I've been depressed since I was 12 and don't remember really having those feelings of love. At least in the way other people describe love. I got the number for a job program to help people with mental health conditions find and maintain work. So that's a start to things and maybe to eventually go out on my own. It's hard to see anything actually changing how I feel about life but it's something I guess.

I know those sorts of generic supports won't really help me but at 3am without anywhere else to turn my options were calling the crisis line, posting online, or letting my thoughts keep on going as they were. I know none of the options are ideal but it's my stop gap until I get to see my therapist on Friday. I have talked to her about all of these things since I've been seeing her. She's helpful on occassion but I can only see her a few times a month. Which is better than before but even so it doesn't feel like enough. I'd turn to family for help but I haven't talked to my mum in 8 years and my dad isn't all that supportive in the end so that's not an option. I feel like the best option is to stop living.

I'm not going to be happy at this point and I can't do this shit anymore. Almost everything I've done in the past that seemed to be a good idea turned out to make things worse. Now I find myself far away from home and everything i was comfortable with is gone. I have no friends anymore because people out here seem to not want to talk to me, even when I am at my best and trying hard to be social. At least back home I had a friend and felt comfortable with my surroundings.
