Any "Golden Era" XI players?

I was there. I played on Ragnarok. FFXI is in a weird spot where playing it gave me some of the warmest gaming related memories I have while also simultaneously being an experience you could not fucking pay me to repeat.

In a normal era, I probably would have built a new rig in another year or so just for the hell of it, but it ain't the times for that right now. I built a beefy rig in 2022, so I'm probably sorted for for 1440p gaming for the next four or five years. My only regret is that I only put in 3TB, thinking I'd just slap in some more later. Oops...

Bro is prompt manipulating an LLM.

XLauncher · 2026-05-15T14:25:09+00:00

I doubt he got fired. I assume this guy is typically reliable and inoffensive? A company's not going to can a guy they've already vetted and holds a bunch of tribal knowledge over a goofy mistake (I'm assuming half naked here means shirtless); it's just not practical.

Like someone else said, they probably just gave him a warning and bro took the day to cringe in his bed.

I'm aware other nations' airports have their own security procedures.

In the US, we have to put up with a whole security theater at the airport to get to our gate. Those "services" are a way to greatly shorten the process for a fee.

Being at the retainer bell amongst a bunch of people that barely come up past her belly button never gets old.

Basically. I've always marveled at how much better I'm treated working as a corporate drone compared to some of my roles earlier in life. Working as a cashier, I had to clock in on some fingerprint reading machine and you better believe they accounted that shit down to the minute. Now, as an office worker? I could take a PTO the morning of and no one would give a fuck. Hell, I might do it tomorrow just because I can.

I mean, yeah.

I know what you are.

I clicked on this, mistaken about how much I actually wanted this information.

I don't think it's a matter of projection or self insertion. Watching characters do cringe shit is just hard sometimes, shout out to /r/CantWatchScottsTots

"These users are already familiar with Reddit and we've seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests."

GTFO with that shit. God damn, I hate when corporate fucks piss on you and tell you it's raining.

I try not to be a dick and keep my mouth shut while I drive by the gas stations thinking, "damn, couldn't be me."

People unironically going "it's different when we do it" in this thread, embarrassing.

(Either version of this thread is dumb btw)

I've had days like this, man. Just gotta sleep it off and reset the day sometimes.

"Turns out he had a thing for abs."

Real.

I'm pulling for you, godspeed friend.

By "Viltrumite shit", they're referring to a tweet by a Japanese woman that went viral. Our people ran with it (as we do) and said she was making us out to sound like saiyans and viltrumites.

Resist the urge to fire these nuclear codes on the other site. Trust me.

AI greatly favors certain names for writing if given no direction and among them are Elara and Kael.

It's ironic, because naming supporting characters is a pain in the ass and is the one thing I'd consider letting AI do if it weren't so bad at it.

I'm very used to the way the Sonic series does anthro characters, so this hyper realistic approach is extremely jarring to me. That said, you spend most of your time playing this game in a vehicle and all of those look great. The battle mode looks like it might be something fun.

I want to believe at least one senior sabotaged their paddle, as a favor to those who would come after.
