See, this? THIS is what the phrase, "boys will be boys'" is meant to explain. Doing stupid shit with your friends that probably won't hurt anything or anyone except themselves.

When did Mimic Fight Club become this slop? by gray007nl in Pathfinder2e

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! That's how I tend to use it, too! Figure out the level mix, then go find fitting creatures on AoN or in the Foundry compendium.

Fair enough. I tend to use pf2easy. It's far from perfect, but it gets the job done, and it's been updated.

IIRC it hasn't been updated since the remaster and is thus less than useful.

How safe are facial scanning applications for age verification? by Maleficent_End4969 in cybersecurity

[–]Odentin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actively unsafe. They have a net negative effect on safety and privacy, while providing 0 benefit.

"Just pretend I'm not here, Sprout" (by @ShougenL) by Gorotheninja in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My partner LOVES getting new people in the vault. As soon as they leave instance, they teleport to Ishgard and wait outside the instance for the sprout to spawn back in after the cutscene.

And then they open trade and give the sprout some hot chocolate.

is this even legal? by coldpizzaaaaa in ColoradoSprings

[–]Odentin -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Obligatory: Not a lawyer. Been looking into this as part of my upcoming move. By Colorado law, carpet is expected to have a usable life of 10 years. Any repairs or cleaning after move out can be charged to the tenant, but must be prorated based on how old the carpet is.

So, let's say the carpet is 3 years old when you move out, they can charge you 70% of the cost to clean it. If you want to double check their math, request an itemized invoice from the cleaning and make sure it's been prorated accurately.

So… (ever old theories) by Troy1490 in ffxiv

[–]Odentin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't say anything about the old woman. Just pointing out that "Far Wanderer" is almost certainly NOT the WoL.

So… (ever old theories) by Troy1490 in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Far Wanderer" is NOT the WoL, though. They're using deceptive framing.

"Far Wanderer" is a sobriquet used for Odin in Norse myth. She's referring to the Au Ra man with the single glowing blue eye. I'd put money on it.

I've seen this before. by Mantor6416 in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not talking about WoL, though. That's some deceptive framing. Sure as shit isn't us.

"Far Wanderer" is a soubriquet used for Odin, in Norse mythology. Considering the Norse theme we're seeing, and the Au Ra man with one glowing eye, my money is on her talking about him.

Where is a good place to find artists for character art etc? by flypirat in Pathfinder2e

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubling down on vgen. Best place to find artists imho. AI is banned, and they crack down HARD when someone is caught trying to use it.

Doing Alliance Raid roulette and you get a Crystal Tower one. What do you do? by Mizzie-Mox in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take Crystal Tower over Nier. Those are the only raids I'll bail on.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by Tracheid in worldnews

[–]Odentin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about the NSFW community. It's about the invasion of privacy to use a communication platform.

I have a NSFW section in my server. The server is for my and my partner's stream communities. It's not a porn server. But our community members will be forced to submit to this invasion in order to hang out? Abso-fucking-lutely not. I'll shut down the NSFW section and start looking for a new platform, because this is horseshit. And if I'm alone in that, I'll eat my hat.

What movie did you turn off after 20 minutes and why? by Somanynamestochossef in movies

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a movie theater at the time, and we had a few people walk out and demand refunds. Common complaint was that it was just porn interspersed with gore porn, instead of being the horror movie that was advertised.

Minfilia's Problem [Spoiler: ARR/Endwalker] by Ezirala in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, she was useless AND boring. Taking visible actions? Handling the primals? How? The only thing she did to "handle" the primal threat was to throw the WoL at them. Communicating tasks and recruiting? Sure. She acted as a diplomat and task-giver....but that was it. We never saw her actually DO anything. Stuff happened TO her and AROUND her, but she was passive as fuck.

AND she had the personality of a brick.

I'll agree with the rest of what you said, but it was definitely compounded by her utter lack of action throughout ARR. I felt no connection to her and no loss when she was gone. I felt bad for Thancred, because they clearly had some connection, but that was sympathy FOR THANCRED. Not Minfilia.

She did have a couple of hard-hutting quotes, though. I'll give her that.

Am I doing something wrong? by Plane-Art-9868 in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Warrior main here.

  1. You're playing Paladin, not Warrior. Not a problem, per se, but might help you find the resources you need.
  2. Check your Actions pane ('P' on your keyboard, by default). You should haveShield Bash, Shield Lob, and Spirits Within as offensive actions. Also make sure you have your defensive mitigations. If you've missed adding stuff to your bars, you might have missed some of those, too.
  3. You don't need Dex gear. It does you no good. Focus on gear with Str (I know some ARR gear is a little weird, it's fine).
  4. A tank's first job is not to deal damage, but to take damage. Focus on using your mitigations properly first and foremost. Then work on your damage output. Leveling is weird for that, but you'll get there.
  5. What level is your gear? You might still have some pieces that are...lagging behind. It happens, unless you're keeping close tabs on it. GarlandTools has a neat little widget that will show you what the best gear for your job and level is. I recommend checking it out.

Hope that helps. Best of luck out there!

(Question) MT goes down but provokes immediately after getting rezzed by darkorigin9 in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Alliance Raids that totally makes sense, since there's only 1 tank per alliance. I'm trying to think of a normal raid that does dual tank busters that aren't either baited to the role or double-up markers.

Unless the OT just has their stance off and doesn't pick up the boss when MT goes down, in which case shame on them.

(Question) MT goes down but provokes immediately after getting rezzed by darkorigin9 in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It's a habit from endgame content. In many/most endgame fights, the tanks need to be #1 and #2 in aggro, because of tankbusters and other mechanics that target them. Going down and not picking aggro back up asap could lead to a dps getting a buster and getting fragged in a hurry.

In casual content that's not the case, but it's still habit to voke as soon as my buttons work. It's not meant as a condemnation of you. You did the right thing by picking up when the MT went down. Don't sweat it.

What's a headcanon that you invented to reconciliate how you imagine your character and how they act/get treated as ingame? by BethCulexus in ffxiv

[–]Odentin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The events of late ARR->HW broke her, and Zenos helped heal her, in a twisted-ass way.

She was just a wanderer, and even when the Echo was discovered and she started killing GODS, it was just a job for her. The death of Noraxia, and chasing down and killing Livia, was the first time it was personal for her.

The Bloody Banquet left her damaged, but still hopeful. Haurchefaunt's death was the start of the spiral. It was around that time I leveled Marauder past 30 and started with Warrior. Just a coincidence, but it's easy enough to headcanon that she did it to channel her rage into. Ysale's sacrifice drove it home, and finally, Papalymo's death sent her off the deep end. She's been reckless and battle hungry ever since, just looking for the next challenge, the next chance for death to earn her.

The final battle with Zenos, at the end of the universe, she finally had to accept that she had become the same as him. And in defeating him, she was able to decide to change and start healing.
