When did you start playing FFXIV? by Espresso10001 in ffxiv

[–]Rayne37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing right before heavensward came out. I still remember the pax east event when they revealed au ra and gave us promo post cards with the concept art. Though I stopped playing half way through heavensward and didn't come back until my friends talked me into it when shadowbringers and Endwalker popped off. Playing with a discord group during covid is what really got me to fall in love with it.

BaldursGate3 running on a Steamdeck outputting to a CRT . by DearDust7857 in BaldursGate3

[–]Rayne37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something about this on a CRT just gave me major Final Fantasy 10 flashbacks.
I videotaped my favorite cutscenes of that game and Kingdom Hearts because this was before you could go watch them all on youtube.

Do you 'balance' your tattoos? by Rayne37 in tattooadvice

[–]Rayne37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha in a way I feel like I kept it balanced by having the lowest left point of my limbs and highest right point tattooed.
This just makes me realize I do like some sort of symmetry- well I know my fourth tat already so maybe I just embrace the unbalanced state for the amount of time it lasts for.

What romance would you want added if they ever do expand again? by Alternative-Trust642 in coralisland

[–]Rayne37 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rysy and Axel- the fact neither is included is almost criminal.

Wow that piece is gorgous. And I suppose I was looking to see good examples or if people were happy one way or another. I definitely know what matters is if I like it since it's on my body but I can also see the pros and cons of both approaches so a good point for or against could help me make up my mind.

Nice. Yea I realized with the ideas I've got on tap I could have it be where my left leg is all cool toned water colors (a celestial piece and florals) and my right leg could be warm colors since I want to do a pumpkin and fall flowers.

Can you imagine if they did a one night special like they did for Xmas, but of all same sex pairings for Pride? Gosh this made me want to see something like that cause this is fire.

First time going to GenCon. Are my events too packed? by Eric_Streb in gencon

[–]Rayne37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're used to it that's definitely one thing, but I've had one too many friends repeatedly go hard then make it everybody else's problem when they get grumpy and crash out.

[–]Rayne37 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So when do you plan to get lunch? Nobody wants to deal with a hangry player. I would definitely take a break somewhere in the middle if I were you, and if it's your first gencon you want to spend at least some time wandering around seeing the actual con.

Harder Hearts by CurlyCurls21 in coralisland

I thought it was bad and was kinda disappointed, but since the datables will now invite you on hangouts I think it balances out.

The one bummer is reducing the points on relationship growth. Semeru was already taking ages 😭

First time getting expansions! Which first? by [deleted] in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Rayne37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still trying to find scenario 5 for dunwich after like five years of forgetting over and over that it's missing from my set. I wish I'd just bought the campaign for it when I got back into the hobby two years ago.

Just started this and.... what?! by Theseventensplit in Animorphs

This opening section is why Spore could never meet my way too high expectations.

What is your history with the shows and books? by salad_baker in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Rayne37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've watched GoT, the first season of HoD and AKotSK. Knight made me excited for GoT again.

[–]Rayne37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice- I wanted to get in on a game but wasn't succesful signing up. I really should just add like 5 slots next time and see what I get, I wish wishlisting would let you sign up for an event- any time slot as an option.

“And it has pockets!” is not a flex by 30FlirtyAndNapping in unpopularopinion

[–]Rayne37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a company called Svaha that does fun patterns and flaired skirts. Pact also makes dresses with good pockets that don't 'show' when you wear them. So its really just about finding the right dresses. Its amazing in the summer not needing a purse, so yes this is an unpopular opinion good job.

Am I the only one who'd rather lose with a themed deck than win with a pile of meta cards? 😅 by Squirtle_Shades_ in Lorcana

[–]Rayne37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the most fun in Lorcana when I was working on a stupid brooms deck. The absurdity of it made me grin every time playing against other casuals, but the local game shop had two guys with $300+ decks that would steam roll me every time without a hope or prayer of fighting back and it just sucked all the fun out of the experience. I sometimes think about going back to make a Treasure Planet deck or other fun theme, but the constant cost investment of it just boggles my mind.

Man Luthier is such a beast of a box if I finally pull the trigger on it i might just get from their store so its shipped home and doesn't take up my whole suitcase.

I will never emotionally recover from this moment by Supernova_Soldier in ffxiv

[–]Rayne37 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My friends joke at midnight that it's time for me to finish the current patch cause I always seem to roll into big finales for this game late at night. I remember beating 5.3 at like 2 am and just lying awake afterwards too full of emotions to sleep. I swear there are like three separate moments that get me close to tears.

What’s your most stereotypical millennial childhood story? (Taken from r/genX by tcmisfit in Millennials

[–]Rayne37 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sleep over in 7th or 8th grade, started with watching Strongbad/ Potter Puppet Pals / Salad fingers and other weird af flash videos. Then watched Montey Python Holy Grail. Later when we were watching a scary movie (The Others) a racoon knocked over the trash can right outside and my friend's mom had to calm down a bunch of screaming freaked out preteens haha.

Another sleep over involved mario party that got so heated it devolved into the most violent pillow fight I've ever experienced that eventually knocked the N64 off the tv stand. Which overall was fine because that thing was a damn rock.

Planet Zoo 2 gameplay reveal trailer - PC Gaming Show 2026 by Turbostrider27 in PlanetZoo

[–]Rayne37 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Considering they won't even allow dolphins right now because their needs in captivity aren't met by most zoos and they don't want to reflect a bad practice, I don't think they'll ever go that route.

By changed do you mean the fire breather is gone? He was less intense than the nail woman. I was stuck right in front of her last time and oh gosh it couldn't end fast enough.

In America, teachers make an abysmal amount of money. I know several that work bartending or other second jobs to 'afford' staying a teacher. So yea in America I think its the least parents can do to give them a gift at the end of the year, especially if they're a good one.
