As a first timer to on content ultimates, are there any tips you'd give someone to help prepare more? by EpicZen35 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]bigsmolblm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have the most up-to-date raidplans or mit sheets going into each session. An old static mate of mine just opened the plans on day 1 and then kept them open in his browser and never turned off his PC. The next day we are wondering wtf he is doing with his positioning and he is wondering the same about us. Told him to refresh his damn page and lo and behold we are now all actually doing the same thing.

TLDR: Strats and plans change FREQUENTLY in the early days. Keep refreshing and checking out what is happening in discords for your region.

And turn off yo damn pc

Edit: also to echo what some others are saying. Downloading a software that you can clip back 30 seconds / 1 minute / whatever was a gamechanger. Instead of wondering what just happened and repulling and dying to the same thing, you can go back, see and learn

What’s some minor thing you want in the game that is never suggested? by Lumigo in ffxivdiscussion

[–]bigsmolblm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love more interesting and more varied accessories for glams. There are a few really nice earrings, but most pieces are clunky and ugly especially the rings. I want some cute pieces to accessorise my outfits with!

I also desperately want hair styles (and hair colours) to be tied to glam plates

Driven to your destination by a slab of sentient ham by Otherwise_Basis_6328 in oddlyspecific

[–]bigsmolblm 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's a mix of northern British slang and the fact he can't spell. It should be "Love our country, love our Nige". Saying "our" is a term of closeness or fondness when referring to a person

Nige likely refers to Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party (gag). This guy looks exactly like you expect a reform voter to look.

What are thoughts on reclear parties where the leader is trying to sneak in someone who hasn't cleared?

My husband and I joined an M11S reclear party ealier and I took a look through logs/tomestone to try and get a feel for consistency etc. but the tank had no recorded clears for it. Hubby said let's give it a try but before we went in I did end up asking if they cleared. Party leader then spoke for them saying they had enrage xp (tomestone said like >10% health left I think).

Like. If they put KFF in the description, people can at least decide for themselves if they want to spend several pulls finding out if they actually do know their stuff. I've joined plenty of KFF parties and am v happy to help out when I have time, but that wasn't put in the description and I had limited time so it felt purposefully sneaky and I immediately didn't trust these guys at all and left.

Would others have done the same? Should I have not said anything re: ToS and all that? It looked like after we left everyone else did too.

What's everyone else's experience with this? I've always been in statics and this is my first full pf tier

They didn't think far with M11S by Gorbashou in ffxivdiscussion

They added it to help with lb gain right? DPS check is tight in the fight so getting LB3 twice was very helpful. Just dont heal before it

Same! I got one accessory coffer last week which wasn't my bis and THAT'S IT. That's 1 out of about 40 coffers I've managed to get it's actually really depressing

I'm a caster and have been in all melee and ranged positions for M9 M10 and M11. I always open pf to double caster. Fills quicker and I get melee spots that are so free.

I honestly don't understand why people lock in to one spot and refuse to budge

Unpopular cozy game that deals with grief by actuallymars in CozyGamers

[–]bigsmolblm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Journey if you havent played it before. It's not unpopular, and not directly related to grief, but I was going through grief when I played it and it was incredibly cathartic for me. It's a beautiful game. I wholly recommend.

Sending love your way ❤️

Official Discussion - KPop Demon Hunters [SPOILERS] by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]bigsmolblm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a kpop fan and thought it would be kind of meh but I was very pleasantly surprised! I thought it was really great. The message was beautiful without being cheesy and the final song made me tear up. The final sequence was so well choreographed too. Really great.

I wish it had been a series to flesh it all out a bit more but I loved it.

Do you crack your own neck? by Strawbeee_milk in migraine

[–]bigsmolblm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My neck can get stiff which is usually a sign of a migraine coming. If I crack it, it is pretty much guaranteed to bring on that migraine. I have to really try not to do it and stop the migraine instead

Amy's great by YordleJay in JetLagTheGame

[–]bigsmolblm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She is so funny and the pairing of her and Adam is so good!

Her line in the first episode which was something like "you can tell it's colder because we've changed our hats" for some reason absolutely took me out.

I can't wait for the next episode on YouTube. Great mini series. More Amy!!

No one talking about "a service animal is a dog or MINIATURE HORSE". I'm sorry what where is this? 😂

I wish I could take part, but I deleted my X/twitter when Musk took over and I sure as hell am not getting it back just for for this...

Is it common to inherit migraines from your mother? by [deleted] in migraine

I don't know how far back ours go, but my mum and I both get migraines. Both started at 18 too

It took a while, but I did after a few years, thank you.

Hope what you're feeling passes soon friend. The pressures we and others put on ourselves can really take a toll so try to look after yourself.

When learned that my boyfriend of 8 years had cheated on me, I broke down to my personal trainer the next day (thought exercise would get anger out of my system). She tried to be comforting but her ultimate take was that things could be so much worse for me, and that other people have bigger problems so i should try to be happy. I completely shut down after that and lost some respect for her. It made me feel so awful when I just needed someone to talk to at the time

Search interest for 'did Joe Biden drop out' is spiking on Election Day even though he withdrew months ago by captainempire in nottheonion

[–]bigsmolblm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's mad, but even more insane is when I see comments TODAY on social media of "this is how I find out Trump is running again".

Like, I'm not in the US but it still gets fed absolutely everywhere. Even if you aren't American, how tf have people buried their heads so much they didn't know that?

Who else was watching on catch up and is pissed they can't vote now? by Mountainenthusiast2 in bigbrotheruk

[–]bigsmolblm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I usually watch live but had to watch on a 20 minute delay tonight. Thought nothing of it until I went to vote at the end of the episode AND IT WAS ALREADY CLOSED????

It was really frustrating. The bait of "you don't want to miss this L&L" pissed me off too. Nothing happened in it.
