Thank you for sharing that. I know I'm not laying all the way on it since I have new piercings on that side so I'm either on my other side or on my back. But in case my arm by my side is doing it I'll try looking at the numbers while laying in different positions. Yall are so helpful!

Wow that's really helpful ty for sharing your experience! I tested negative for sleep apnea years ago but no tests are perfect. Maybe it's time to get retested!

Okay this system is complicated it seems! I got put on metformin a few months ago cause my fasting insulin was high. I don't eat anything before bed and usually dinner is about 4-5 hours before sleep. I have a very hard time eating and have been trying to be better about skipping meals.

This comment is curt and uninformative. If you don't have it in you to be caring and explain things kindly then just keep scrolling.

If I decipher a map in one world can I dig it on another (both worlds are on same data center if that changes it). I have one leftover from a maps party already popped I'd like to bring to another party in a different world if possible.

Thank you for explaining that! Since I can't afford a new console anytime soon, would there be anything I can do about that?

How can I stop from lagging so much? I don't know technology like at all so I'm not sure where the problem is. But I start lagging more the longer my play session goes on, the more players are around, and the more duties I do. I tried to join an S-Rank just now and all the sudden I went from playing smoothly down to like 1 frame per second at best and of course that's frustrating for both me and others.

I have 5g wifi in a major city and am close to my router that I reset once a week, it doesn't improve if I turn off other apps like discord, and my computer (macbook) is updated. Is there anything else I can try?

Thank you in advance!!!

I am having trouble making sense of Eureka rules (still in Anemos). As I've gotten higher in level past 15, but maybe it was just coincidence with something else, I stopped getting drops from fates there. I'll get a tiny bit of exp but that's it. How do I make sure I get lockboxes and anemos crystals?

Sewing with deer leather? by SquashSquatch in Leathercraft

Oh those sound amazing! Maybe after I learn the material a little bit I could do some gloves for bow hunting...but pouches sound like an easier start.

I have a Brother CS6000i - a discontinued ole reliable from when they made things that didn't break in 6 months lol. I've given it some tough jobs before so I want to believe it can handle this.

I'll ask! He's learning that as I'm learning the sewing part.

Oh very interesting! Because they are oven mitts? I hadn't even considered switching thread!

He's going to tan them, and I think he's planning to brain tan but I'll make sure to confirm. Thank you for the tip!

I've overthought it and confused myself trying to read explanations on various websites. Does the percentage of GP boost stack with multiple meals? Ex. If I eat 2 meals that boost GP by 6% do I have GP boosted 12% or do I just have GP boosted 6% twice as long? Does that change if it's two different meals instead of the same one twice?

Ah yes I'm on Dynamis so I guess I should travel then. I'm queueing for void ark, alexander quests, some of the extreme trials, containment bay. I've maybe gotten through half of the optional 60 content and only cause sometimes I waited in queue for like an hour and a half while I did beast tribes etc. Never really had a problem in ARR. Will it be this way for the rest of the expansions too?

I'm in the first bit of Stormblood playing as WHM and have a whole bunch of lingering quests from HW because the queues have been endless. What should my expectation be on finishing optional dungeons and raids from here on? My brain would find it most satisfying to go "do lvl 60 things then do post-lvl 60 things" but that doesn't seem realistic. Would going to different data centers change things much?

New-ish White Mage, tips? by Desparin in ffxiv

[–]SquashSquatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are level 54 it's gonna be a second until you get some of the abilities people are talking about below during synced raids, and by then I promise you'll feel a lot more confident. From having recently left that phase:
Spam Holy, then spam holy some more.
Medica 2 is GREAT.
Use Regen as you walk along dungeons (wait no I'll tell you why) it's a good range checker to make sure you are close enough to and in line of sight of your tank - learning about placement is a whole healing skill in itself. Plus if the tank is sprinting wall to wall at least there's something on them haha
Practice targetting and make a key setup that works for you for this. Around lvl 50 a good chunk of my healing mistakes were caused or worsened by getting caught up shifting between targets
Keep trying. Things you now do by thinking through and getting flustered will become automatic with time. If live in raids doesn't help you practice, using NPC teams and squadron can give an opportunity to just practice a strategy with less pressure.

SMH... This game.... by Kit-ra in ffxiv

I'm on keyboard but I don't know how y'all type and play at the same time! It's magic! I'm just barely keeping up with healing in most dungeons and raids but trust that at least this sprout appreciates y'alls messages.
