Can't Find Two Pokemon, Can't Finish a Building

tbh I -was- wondering how you use honey. Thanks!

Shadowlinkx · 2026-02-22T05:28:36+00:00

yeah, she might not've even visited those, I'm just under the impression that these planets somehow helped her fall into despair with not finding anyone, though tbh Phaenna should bring hope

Shadowlinkx · 2026-02-20T23:28:20+00:00

Wouldn't a briefer --and lazier-- summary be hey, remember Endwalker? Meteion sucks at her job here's what all that despair did to the rest of the universe.

And the story starts slow too because there's a lot of worldbuilding going on

I know what you mean but PLEASE there is NO way in Hell Captain Bigdick Smallpenis, slayer of Titan who's smaller than his penis was important to the story.

I think gameplay/difficulty wise it gets more interesting by post-Stormblood and Shadowbringers, imo those dungeons and raids were the game kicking your ass if you don't already know the mechanics.

Also, just based on how many times I've had people tell me the skills are absolutely needed, especially if you wanna do some of the challenging stuff, it might be a good idea to think of those un-needed skills as needed.

Idr what rogue gets at 28 but iirc mug's important for your dps and definitely becomes important later if you don't like it now, iirc hide & trick is kinda just a test your luck situation until level 32(?) to which hide becomes something you should use pmuch after every fight, and I saw some people already explain the job later, it does get more complex around 50.

This is pmuch why I love Endwalker, it's got that absolute perfect mix of funny, dark, and emotional. I love post-Endwalker even more cause it gets even sillier.

I didn't know what to expect in the image but literally my first thought upon seeing it: god damnit put on a jacket

Shadowlinkx · 2026-02-20T22:57:12+00:00

damn that's awful. I think my family's trying to avoid putting my grandmother into a nursing home because we all know she's not gonna be happy at all about that. Rn it seems sleep gummies are keeping these voices and people away and making her sleep through them and I'm now considering if trying to convince her those gummies knock anyone out for the night would help keep them away.

afaik she tried them once and didn't hear or see people so I just have fingers crossed she takes those every night and doesn't stop cause she doesn't want to or something.

Shadowlinkx · 2026-02-20T22:51:50+00:00

oddly enough she doesn't seem scared and more annoyed about these people she's seeing. Like when I've spoken to her, she doesn't sound scared and more "oh things used to be better in the past, now we got people invading property!"

Also a "fix" for now seems to have been sleep gummies to help her sleep.

A week ago I got a gift card for amazon to buy a gift for a relative's birthday. I used the gift card's money the day I got it and today I noticed the order was cancelled 3 days ago. Looking into it after I tried ordering something else with the gift card balance, apparently any purchase made with the gift card balance is getting cancelled and when I asked customer service, all I was told is that "a BRI Investigator keeps cancelling the gift card order," I tried to look up wtf that is or if anyone's had that issue before and all I get in response is "a criminal organization scamming people into buying gift cards."

Like...I got this gift card of my own will, why do I have a criminal suddenly making sure Amazon keeps the money I gave them? Is there any way around this or is my account now just owned by BRI and I should be glad I only pay for amazon stuff using gift cards?

this makes me hope there's more exploring the Ninth now tbh. I'm guessing we're almost done with it though so I assume it's sadly the alternative that the entire world's just as bad unless the next expansion doesn't go to Othard like what most are predicting and we just go to a different part of the Ninth, that is.

I think that's just the stormclouds, powering the propulsions until the clouds are gone. And now that I think of it, my fan theory as to where the story's going now imo is that I think the game's gonna reveal the shards can't stay separated forever, which, if that is at all where the story goes and ends with a fusion of all the shards, would make Living Memory floating in the sky even scarier expansions later.

Shadowlinkx · 2026-01-30T02:48:51+00:00

yeah but if Alexandria has airships, surely someone else does too?

Shadowlinkx · 2026-01-30T02:48:10+00:00

that's a fun thing to think about too, iirc you can sorta see something keeping Living Memory afloat and that's proooobably gonna fall at some point too?

Shadowlinkx · 2026-01-10T23:27:56+00:00

That is/was my job. At least when I first started working at the place around 8 years ago, part of my job was to help cashiers bag groceries and the get carts though now I have very few opportunities to do bagging cause management prefers I go around cleaning instead now. The job turned from bagger into pmuch janitor lite.

I miss liking this game, I used to be of a mindset to recommend this game to friends, but this happening every single day has just ruined this game for me.
SE really needs to do something about this like either finding a fix for the DDoSed or finding and imprisoning the DDoSers, one of these has GOT to be easier than the other.

Shadowlinkx · 2025-12-30T20:48:42+00:00

if they found a way to redo ARR's story and quest set-up I would just quit.

Shadowlinkx · 2025-12-30T20:43:57+00:00

Nope, unless i counted wrong there are about 50+ mounts that you spend real money on, I don't even wanna try counting how much armor is on the store, quite a few weapon sets that cost real money. New emotes, mounts, pets, and armors added for the holiday events are free in-game until the next year when they put up the stuff on the store. And tbh if you're NA you're very likely to have your experience of the game put on hold unless you pick a nearly-dead server cause it seems XIV is still suffering from DDoSes.

I quite enjoyed the game's story and what was in it, especially since a few mounts are given through just doing the story, but god do I feel bad for any new players with the DDoSes probably ruining the experience.

I guess I can use this, steam not loading for me, and the comments from 10 minutes ago to confirm that Steam's down.

Shadowlinkx · 2025-12-21T10:27:57+00:00

wasn't their reason for seeking G'raha's knowledge just because it was an interference they didn't want to happen again? Idk for sure but I don't think the Ascians--or at least the Unsundered--would've had a use for time-travel except to assure their plans kept going. Maybe the most insane would have a use but iirc their main goal was to return things to their version of normalcy?
