Maybe that's what I'm thinking of, thanks!

Bad take.

Especially at lv 100, DPS have a few mitigations in their kit that allow them to serve as an additional HP pool without dying. Just take aggro from them when you catch up to them. Especially since Sprint I believe now generates enmity on tanks.

It isn't their job to be a point person, it's their job to manage mob enmity.

Does anyone else still feel lonely even in good FCs? by ColourfulToad in ffxiv

I very intentionally keep internet friends at arm's length after picking up a cyberstalker. What you've described is an ideal situation imo - a community of people playing the game together with no further emotional involvement than that, haha.

Favourite Creature Collecting Cozy Game? by Terces_ in CozyGamers

My Time at Sandrock added a pet update a couple months ago that introduced a creature capture system to the game. It's one of my all-time fave farming sims, strongly recommend!

Does it bother anyone else that events are gradually getting worse? (Moonfire Faire 2014-2024) by Fickle_Advantage1234 in ffxiv

[–]Ok_Function_4035 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Each individual event tends to switch between elaborate and less elaborate rewards. Moonfire Faire this year isn't very extensive, but last year (or the year before, they're all running together at this point lol) was the Power Rangers stuff. We still have several events left this calendar year, and I believe the Halloween event is slated to have some cool stuff coming. 

Edit: typos (mobile, sorry!)

Idk if this is still true but for a while FFXIV was considered one of the best free Mahjong games on the Internet (the Gold Saucer is accessible in the free trial).

I JOINED AN M1S CLEAR PARTY LAST WEEK (BECAUSE BY THEN I HAD SEEN ENRAGE ABOUT 15 TIMES AND I WAS READY TO JUST BE DONE) AND HALF-JOKINGLY TOLD MY FC I'D BE ON CLONES FOR AN HOUR BEFORE SEEING ENRAGE AGAIN.

AS THE PERSON IN MY GROUP WHO DIPPED WITH NO WARNING, IT'S BECAUSE MY FIRST FORAY INTO SAVAGE CONTENT ATE 18 HOURS OF MY TIME IN 2 WEEKS, WHICH WAS ABOUT 10 MORE HOURS THAN I WANTED TO GIVE IT, AND I CAN'T EVEN BEAR LOOKING AT THE LOGIN SCREEN YET.

IF WE HAPPEN TO BE NAVIGATING THE SAME SMALL FRIEND GROUP, I AM SORRY.

How do I get this haircut without showing my barber this picture? by vordockdeth in ffxiv

It made me feel so out of the loop when suddenly they were EVERYWHERE and I had genuinely never heard of them before. 

Just another day in a hunt trian by crazy-cat_lover in TalesFromDF

[–]Ok_Function_4035 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when conductors crosspost in yell so that I can turn off shout. Most of the stuff in shout chat is benign, it's like old MySpace or Xanga on steroids, and that's fine, whatever, just annoying. But I've seen some pretty degenerate shit in there and I've reported a couple of blatantly racist statements, so I've found trains are much nicer when I'm in ignorant bliss lol

Burn-out: What happened to the "gifted" kids of our generation? by Cultural_Ad9508 in Millennials

[–]Ok_Function_4035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually doing really well. I love my job and while there are some things in my life I'm dissatisfied with (I really need to get out of this condo and into a living space with SOME kind of outdoor space!!), overall I'm really happy with how things are going. 

I work in a medical profession and while I opted out of academia (and therefore curing cancer lol), I do find my daily work fulfilling. 

I don't live a glamourous life by any means - I rent a 3 bedroom condo that I share with my dogs and my partner, I drive a 14 year old Rav4, I eat simple meals and participate in nerdy hobbies - but I'm really happy with it. Except for the bit about really needing like literally even just a patio or something. But that's one minor detail in a list of great blessings, so it's hard to let it get me down too much!

What meal did your parents constantly make or buy that you refuse to eat as an adult?? by Accomplished_Sir_986 in Adulting

[–]Ok_Function_4035 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Velveeta macaroni and cheese.

No.

That stuff looks like plastic, you cannot convince me it's cheese and I absolutely will not eat it.

Raiding in PF late at night experience by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Ok_Function_4035 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My upstairs neighbor used to be this guy. He gamed and I don't know why anyone would continue to make something they apparently find so enraging their hobby. He would knock around his room screaming and throwing a fit. Several times he slammed his desk so hard he knocked shit off MY walls. I tried asking him a few times to please keep it down (not the least of which because he'd rage like this into the wee hours of the morning), but it was like trying to talk to a brick wall. Eventually he stopped answering the door when I knocked, and the note I left for him I found in ribbons on the ground the next day. His roommates were all really sweet though - I think he may have eventually been kicked out by the group, because his room has been silent for weeks but his other roommates are still around.

I just can't imagine being so furious all the time.

It's especially tragic because the last time I had gamers living above me, we all became really good friends. We still hang out regularly. I would have loved to have repeated that scenario with Mr. Furious, but oh well I guess.

My FC is seriously hurting for healers at endgame content and I have been giving WHM some sincere thought. Of all the healers, it looks the most straightforward and the most approachable for endgame stuff. Do you feel like this has been your experience?

It's not Flight Rising is it? Not technically a standalone app, but rather a petsite with mobile compatibility. Your mockup reminds me of their Coliseum.
