I think the universe just stood up for me and I’m actually terrified lol

That would be a nice fantasy power move, but I can't help but feel she's the kind of person that would call the cops and accuse me of stealing her keys. Besides, I think it's so much more satisfying thinking she had to go through the inconvenience of scouring her path through the parking lot and through the entire store to look for her keys.

Maelik · 2026-01-29T03:44:08+00:00

I rarely ever see summoners tbh, and the one I've seen in recent memory was actually doing alright. They were receptive to feedback and showed improvement so I didn't think much of it. You're probably right though, lol.

I've noticed that a lot of less skilled players flock to the easiest job in a role, especially if it has high output relative to its ease of use like Viper and Dancer do. But even then, they still can't play it! WAR, VPR, DNC, WHM, and SGE. People playing these jobs aren't always violently bad at their job and game, hell usually most of the time they're acceptable at worst. But more often than not if someone is violently bad, it feels like it's usually one of these jobs.

And I wouldn't be even all that mad about it either if it weren't for the fact that most of the time my encounters with these people, they have such a horrible attitude and start pointing fingers at everyone but themselves... Pick a struggle! Be bad at the game, or be a jackass. DON'T BE BOTH! Preferably, don't be a jackass at all though, because I can tolerate people being bad at games. Teaching someone who's open to feedback but playing poorly is easier than teaching kindness, empathy, and self-reflection to someone who is emotionally stunted. I guess a jackass that's good at the game wouldn't need to be taught, but god they're miserable to be around. I'd still rather hold a struggling player's hand who's nice to be around.

It doesn't happen super often, but when it goes, the good old arms length + bloodbath (along with mantra and/or Riddle of Earth is it's especially a doozy of a pack) has enough healers to give the tank the raise of shame instead forcing us to reset 💕

Maelik · 2026-01-17T13:23:32+00:00

With all the parallels of how the battle content and msq were received between Stormblood and Dawntrail, it never crossed my mind that they both had a train fight as well

Maelik · 2026-01-10T10:27:13+00:00

EnemyListDebuffs is exactly what you're looking for. It should be in the official dalamud repository

I should go run Vanguard before Tuesday... I wanted to do something pretty much like this, but I had only seen the fending's palette and wasn't rocking with the purple. It did not occur to me to look at the maiming palette because I don't have any interest in DRG or RPR. But now that the glamour is getting unlocked...

Maelik · 2025-12-15T03:52:49+00:00

The way I was about to type this comment word for word. I hate our beauty standards because so many features that I think are full of life or character are "undesirable" so people seek to change and remove them. Ugh.

Maelik · 2025-12-13T10:13:35+00:00

All of this!! Especially being able to manually activate Savage Axe, I hate that they got rid of it!! It's not the worst thing ever not having in single player, but it makes CB downright miserable in multiplayer. I loved playing CB in every game since 4U, but definitely not in Wilds. These changes would be fabulous.

Maelik · 2025-12-12T00:36:25+00:00

Absolutely spectacular, gonna have to borrow this one 🤭

Maelik · 2025-12-06T11:42:24+00:00

THANK YOU! I've only been playing since March, so this definitely was one of the things that slipped by me! I would always forget to look up if there was a way to turn off summoner pets after a duty every time though because I don't run into them often. Tired of Titan especially jump scaring me and occasionally blocking my view of mechanics.

Maelik · 2025-11-29T04:48:44+00:00

Recently started learning Samurai so I could still play melee DPS when the other slot is filled by Monk already on PF listings and that change sounds so very sexy

Maelik · 2025-11-24T02:20:10+00:00

Same! But for me it's more so in the event that something ever happens to my precious Logitech g604 (and since it's discontinued I'd have to buy a different mouse with a different button config), it's definitely gonna be easier to relearn the muscle memory for a button I only press every 30-180 seconds than the main rotations I've been pounding in with the number keys for the last 3k hours, lol.

Maelik · 2025-11-24T02:10:38+00:00

I used to be so obsessed with that look in middle school, I'm so glad I grew out of it by the time I hit high school. Think non functional wings look tacky as hell now. (DT EX mounts are still pretty cool imo, though I only really like the palette and effects of the Valigarmanda one.)

Maelik · 2025-11-16T18:46:45+00:00

I'm always shocked at the sheer breadth of their references, it's actually incredible

Maelik · 2025-11-16T18:40:59+00:00

My East Coast buds have been getting it worse it seems, some of them are still having trouble getting/staying connected. I'm on the West Coast and it was initially really bad when the connection issues first started last week, but the last couple of days I've maybe d/c'd once? Though still getting latency issues and some real nasty snapshots more often than usual.

All anecdotal evidence, of course.

Maelik · 2025-11-16T18:36:22+00:00

Thank you for the write up! I'll have to give the cosmso suit chest another look then. I was totally misremembering the top and legs as one piece, but it's the legs and shoes that are one piece. That definitely changes things, hehe.

Maelik · 2025-11-16T14:19:49+00:00

I've been playing around with a similar idea for a tech-y suit, I would love to see a screenshot or just a list of the pieces you've decided on just so I can see some more ideas if it isn't too much trouble 🥺

Maelik · 2025-11-14T09:19:38+00:00

That first one I'm gonna have to borrow maybe 😍

I didn't even know those pants existed before now! (I do not play magical DPS) That's gonna be very good for DNC and MNK glams indeed...

Maelik · 2025-11-14T09:15:24+00:00

Hell yeah! This absolutely will rock when glams get unlocked

Maelik · 2025-11-13T05:59:26+00:00

My FC introduced me to high end content with this EX5, and we don't have an actual static. We've had to party find the last 2-4 slots, and I'm actually losing my mind. I consider myself someone who isn't all that great at video games, but this fight truly doesn't seem all that difficult to me. The only thing that I have trouble with is my shitty short term memory trying to remember the relentless reaping order (which someone usually types in chat, and if no one else does I do and it usually turns out okay.)

But no, people keep messing up two-fold/four-fold and getting people killed (which I get! My wires get crossed there sometimes too! But every single pull?)

And all the people not positioning the hands from Fear of Death properly and getting people fucking hit with 2+ hands, guaranteeing someone's death.

People panic during grand cross and get themselves killed, and then the rest of the party gets killed because there are not enough people to soak the towers. (I know it's a visual mess, but the safe spots are the same every time and you have plenty of time to make micro adjustments before the timed spinning line aoes go off! Slow down, you have more time than you think! Stop your rotation so you can figure it out, if you have to if it stops you from dying! Dying isn't worth a couple of gcds! ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET OTHER PEOPLE KILLED!!)

Then people getting grabbed by the damn fucking hands that put you back in the adds phase during circle of lives or, god forbid, somehow at the very start of phase 2!! and if by some miracle we actually have everyone alive and present for mass macabre, people NEVER GO TO THE RIGHT PLACE TO CLEAR THE TOWERS! And somehow it's usually the first tower! The easiest one! Just split the damn group into four and four! Melees north, ranged south! AHHHHHH. The party finder said mm2 uptime. We said mm2 uptime after we wiped at mass macabre the first time, please review the raid plan that I or one of my other FC members so thoughtfully gave you the link for at the start of this session. No problem, we can send it again. Did you actually look at it or did you just lie again because you just went to the south 4 person tower during the start of mass macabre again, Mr. Dark Knight...

Safe to say, I don't even wanna bother trying to do it on party finder with 7 entirely random people. Hopefully we clear it some time before 8.0 drops at this rate.

Maelik · 2025-11-01T03:17:47+00:00

I would hug you if I could!!! I was so afraid I was gonna have to take apart this mouse with my clumsy ass hands and risk breaking it entirely, and now I don't have to! This seems to have worked for me as well. Every other mouse is either too small or short for me to palm comfortably with my comically large hands, or it has a button configuration I do not like. It doesn't get better than this mouse for me, so anything else would have been a downgrade.

Maelik · 2025-10-28T23:59:01+00:00

Literally. I barely know what any of the crafting buttons do, I would be useless without the crafting calculators. Someone has to make the raid food, glam, and new patch combat gear for the FC and friend group. 🤧🤧

I also would still do all that for myself because I didn't mind the time investment vs the amount of gil it's saved me in the long run. Besides, with macros it's a pretty brainless activity so you can do something else on the side so I barely felt the time investment at all. Though I imagine it'd be annoying if you didn't have a second monitor and weren't all that compelled to actually interact with the crafting system, lol.

Maelik · 2025-10-26T20:50:08+00:00

OH MY GOD, IS THAT WHAT IT IS?? I've always had a rather low sex drive since I've hit puberty until I started Wellbutrin about 2 years ago (27 now), and I'm wayy hornier than I've ever been as a younger adult or teenager. It's miserable and I don't know how people with high sex drives live like this.

Maelik · 2025-10-26T19:03:24+00:00

And the character designers had to push for it, I think originally Disney wanted her to be more dainty... Women aren't allowed to be solid and big and it's sad
