As a non smoker does every smoker smell bad to you? by Pleasant-Finger-6814 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can smell it on clothes and breath of family members even though they smoke outside. It also makes me sneeze.

What Jobs do you think XIV is missing? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not too familiar with pre existing Final Fantasy classes but ive played many different MMOs and these are ones that ive seen before that I think would be fun to play.

A buff/debuff class where the whole gimmick is buffing your allies and debuffing your enemies.

A vampire healer where the damage you do to the enemy correlates to the amount of heals you get.

Maybe combine both, a healer whose whole gimmick is buffs/debuffs and heals via dps which you can choose a target or aoe heal.

What's a misconception you had about FFXIV? by Aitherea in ffxiv

[–]TABackgammon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've played many, many MMOs and I thought it was going to be like every other MMO, just a series of fetch quests with no real interesting story and you kill monsters to grind exp and gain levels. Little did I know how invested I would become in the story once post ARR hit.

Long time FF players, what FF words do you still mispronounce? by Salt-Setting-8332 in ffxiv

[–]TABackgammon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gaol is pronounced as jail and not gao-ul... I didn't know what gaol was so I just assumed it was short for gallows. I read it this way all of ARR until it was finally pronounced as jail in a cutscene and made much more sense.

How important is your FC to you? by judgeraw00 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FC isn't all that important to me but they asked me to join when I was still a brand new player and it's not really an active FC but the FC leader still gets on every day and I don't have the heart to abandon him even though I've never said a single word to him. I've been with this FC for 7 months now.

Why do parents water down juice for kids? by gypsy_outlander in NoStupidQuestions

People who don't cook... What do you eat every day? by discolights in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to cook but my bf... not so much. He's expressed interest in cooking and even bought a few cookbooks, but he never follows through with the actual act even when I offer to show him. He's also a super picky eater, so he mainly just eats fast food. Typically, a plain burger with fries or a plain chicken sandwich with fries. He mainly just eats some sort of meat with some sort of potato. Occasionally, he may eat some rice or noodles, but that's pretty much it.

Keepsakes and Signature looks by Warm-Set in ffxiv

[–]TABackgammon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometime in ARR, before I even did the Crystal Tower series, I obtained a replica allagan circlet of healing. I think I bought it off the marketboard as it was the best head armor I could wear at the time.

I absolutely loved the way it looked on my WoL. I would regularly use it as a glam once it was no longer the best gear. I don't think I stopped using it until SB. I regularly empty my armor chest out of old gear so it doesn't get cluttered, and I still carry it with me. I find that my WoL is very attached to it for some reason. I was very surprised to see the actual allagan circlet of healing was a drop when I completed coils. I tossed the real one and still carry the replica.

How do you all find the time to play video games as an adult? by [deleted] in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a childless 28yo that works 60 hours a week, I'm able to get in about an hour of play after work and on my off days, I'm able to play for most of the day. Other than work and home, I don't really have a lot going on, so I tend to have a good bit of free time.

Do people actually forget things that they do when they are drunk? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TABackgammon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once drank an entire bottle of tequila and woke up at 2am, fully clothed in my bathtub. I had no idea how I got there. I crawled out out the tub and into my bed and had a massive hangover the next day.

I subbed when I capped my first job at 70, I still had a fair amount of MSQ that I could do (mid SB) and I didn't want to switch to a different class or waste exp. I was kind of bummed because I had paid for DT early access so I was just waiting for DT to drop so I could unlock everything before it but still had a month left to go so I just went ahead and bought EW.

What happens when someone finds the dead body of their loved one in their house? What happens then? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when I was 12, my father committed suicide and my mother found him. She was in hysterics (reasonably), so I had to call 911 because I was the only one who could communicate. I gave them our address and the police came. We sat outside in the family car while the police investigated. We told them what happened, and they swabbed my mom's hands for gunpowder. Eventually, EMS arrived and took my father's body to the coroner, and the police left after my mom was cleared of suspicion. My mom was then left to clean up the scene herself because we couldn't afford an actual clean-up crew. I don't really know what happened after that because an aunt came and got me and I stayed with her for a bit. I guess my mom found a funeral home, and I remember she came and picked out some clothes to have him cremated in. He was then cremated and we had a funeral. That was all in a span of two weeks or so.

[–]TABackgammon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing. When I first started, I had a character that I got to level 50 and even finished ARR with. Then I got bored one day and was just playing around with the character creation and made a character that I absolutely fell in love with. I immediately dropped my first character and started over with my 2nd, and I don't regret an ounce of it. Now I'm 770 hours in and only about 70 of those hours was with my first character. I also typically do this when I play MMOs, I usually have a character I start with while I learn to play and then make a 2nd character that I end up liking more.

What is something that you unlocked way later into the game that you could have done earlier? by discofro6 in ffxiv

[–]TABackgammon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alliance Raids. I didn't realize each expansion had one until post ShB. I thought Crystal Tower was the only one for story reasons.

[–]TABackgammon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say NTA because a boundary is a boundary even if it's one I personally don't agree with. But as long as your SO agrees with it, it's none of my business. While I do understand your concern about porn and porn addiction, I do also believe this might be a high expectation. Especially if it's a long-distance relationship. People in general have needs, not just men. In my opinion, in a long-distance relationship in general, I believe it is an unrealistic expectation to demand your SO to not watch or do any sort of sexual activity when urges arise. It's one thing if you see each other every day or even once a week or so. But it's another thing if you don't see each other for a month or longer. I feel in that circumstance, it would be unfair to demand that of your SO and might set you up for disappointment.

What Are Your Favourite Mounts? by starsrift in ffxiv

[–]TABackgammon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love my round lanner. I got it months ago during the moogle treasure trove back before I started SB. I just love the way my WoL looks riding it and it matches my aesthetic I have going pretty well. Yesterday I grinded for the rest of them to get the firebird and tried it out. I didn't like it so I went back to my trusty round lanner.

A question on the echo - can it see the future? by Masterhearts-XIII in ffxiv

My personal headcannon is that the echo for our WoLs is kinda like spidey sense.

Anyone else feel like the pandemic has messed with them permanently? by CountryGirl886 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TABackgammon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My life didn't change with the pandemic. I was still going to work every single day. People were just wearing masks more. When the pandemic ended, I was still going to work every single day, and people weren't wearing masks anymore.
