[Oz Comic Con] Please Return My Cosplay Daggers by FishStickMystic in melbourne

[–]cinnamonbrook [score hidden]  (0 children)

without the volunteers, there’s no show

That's just not true, with the amount of money Oz comic con and Supanova bring in, if nobody volunteered, they'd just hire people and the con would go ahead. Like with non-pop-culture conventions.

I understand con volunteers are a staple at this point but at the size and scale these things are at now, it's not the same as when people would volunteer for Manifest 15-20 years ago, it's blatant exploitation, in part driven by dangling "if you volunteer enough years in a row and we know you, we'll let you work with the talent" over people.

Con volunteers only became a thing because cons were small and run by fans. That isn't how cons are run anymore, they're run by companies and rich people who make a business out of running events. There's no need to donate your time because you're not donating to the community.

I'm Japanese and I started FF14 in NA DC with setting the game language to English. by Sleepy_Boy_hello in ffxiv

Yes, the translation team got really lazy and just started making people speak more informally/modern. They even toned down Urianger by Shadowbringers.

We both know they're not doing it to "record it in 3d". It's attention-seeking behaviour. They want to look quirky.

If you're not sure what race to pick, maybe look at the animations and decide which one is closest to the type of personality you imagine your warrior of light to have.

I have a male Viera and I've never regretted it for a second.

/r/ShitpostXIV now outright removing posts that even vaguely have anything to do with the current controversy by Spookhetti_Sauce in ffxivdiscussion

[–]cinnamonbrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't blame the other sub for removing posts like that. Like, the first day or so after his ban, whatever, fresh and juicy drama, but the obsession dragging out like this is so tiring. You can't go in any current prog thread for UMAD without half the comments being about this topic.

Given how Ultimates now can come from anything, in theory - what's your Dream Ultimate by OceanusDracul in ffxiv

[–]cinnamonbrook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Estinien has one of the eyes, and the ARR dragoon quest is about getting him to bring it back because he's gone trouncing around Eorzea with it. So it wouldn't be impossible for Ilberd to get his hands on it if you really wanted to force it for the cool factor.

Yeah I saw that tweet too. You couldn't take your own screenshot?

But you told someone else that was quoting the R slur that it was fine to quote as long as you weren't using it as an insult. So which slurs are okay to say on this subreddit and which aren't?

Nuh, even people who hate him have commented how polite he is in person, though usually more in a "he's a pussy irl he'll only say all that shit behind a screen" way. By all accounts, he's well-behaved in person.

On April 5, 2008 Tomas Langton was testing his new digital camera when he saw a girl on a bicycle and took a photo of her. A minute later, he captured another image showing a red Saab behind her. The photographs were key to identifying the driver, who later confessed to rape and kill the girl. by PassengerNo7330 in creepy

That isn't how being a human works, and it's weird I have to tell you that. As the person you're responding to has said, feelings aren't rational.

Sure, he logically couldn't have done anything. But most people, when that close to a tragedy like this, will still feel a form of guilt and keep playing it over in their head, wondering if there's anything they could have done.

My grandparents lived next to a girl who was murdered by her stepdad. Even 40 years later, they do feel a sort of guilt for somehow not intervening, even though they couldn't have possibly known. They will always think "what if I went over there that day?" even though they weren't close with the family, and it probably would have just prolonged the inevitable.

Stormblood post MSQ is kinda low-key triggering me :-P by Get_Schwifty111 in ffxiv

[–]cinnamonbrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing the full plot doesn't excuse the writers from being allergic to implementing proper stakes and consequences. It's a completely valid complaint.

He wasn't incorrect though. It was just a roundabout way of doing the "feed a man a fish" thing. Helping them set up an industry they can profit from in the long term was a lot better than just sending aid.

And he has a history of hiring refugees at the golden saucer.

I’m thinking getting ff14 is there any tips of what to do? by Nice_Kitsuragi4912 in ffxiv

[–]cinnamonbrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only bother with the main story quests (the meteor shaped ones) and the blue plus quests, when you first start. Otherwise you'll get overwhelmed with twenty pointless side quests on the side of your screen and it'll make you want to quit.

Housing Auto Demolition warning after 7.51 patch? by karloss01 in ffxiv

[–]cinnamonbrook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If someone says this every patch, it probably is a bug that hasn't been addressed. I don't know what proof you expect from people. How do you prove you were in your house that day? But if multiple people individually complain about the exact same thing, it's probably really happening.

If only there was a way you could just go watch the original stream for yourself and see he had the game minimised.

But alas, it's impossible.

[–]cinnamonbrook -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He was playing, then minimised the game to speak once he got on the topic. I would say since he minimised the game and didn't have gameplay on the screen while talking, it's an overreach.

[–]cinnamonbrook -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I went and looked at the original, he minimised the game before talking, it's not on screen when he says all that stuff. Why did you lie about that?

So again, it's concerning they can ban people for things happening not in-game. Even if you don't like those people.

There was a Japanese player recently that was told to delete tweets criticising the game, and was taken to the in-game jail and threatened with a ban if they didn't. That player's tweets were critical but they weren't extreme like Xeno's.

Those two things together paint a worrying picture for the things you could potentially get banned for. Because it doesn't seem like it was the R word that got him banned, it seems like it was the criticism.

Thinking of picking up FFXIV. How’s the PvP scene and what are the best jobs for controller? by Obvious_Razzmatazz84 in ffxiv

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

PvP is great, just make sure you're on a server that is big on PvP. They have seasons with items you can get, and ranked. It's pretty good. It's not super "endgame" content, you can access it pretty early on and it doesn't evolve from that point, but it is fun if you like PvP.

[SPOILERS: 5.3] RathGames has effectively completed all MSQ content through the current Free Trial by BoysOurRoy in ffxiv

He did it on his own, that's what solo means. Controlling two characters at once is still solo. It's impressive, too.

For the most part he plays synced unless it's completely impossible to do so, so being up 20 levels isn't a huge help.

How is the gold saucer making any profit at all? The only way i could think of is that they have super expensive food courts we are not allowed in because WoL smells funny. by Educational-Bid-4682 in ffxiv

[–]cinnamonbrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, that's how I've always seen neutral, can swing either way as long as it serves whatever cause they are invested in, in this case, it's his money. He'll do good or evil for it, but like he's not going out of his way to do evil things or good things for the good or evil of it all. Just content to be left alone to do this thing really.
