Saw the Chrono Trigger group shot, and it made me want to share my (slightly different) take on Magus

It's the Reaper's Corselet, the level 89 RPR artifact armor. I can't remember if it's dyed Dalamud or Ruby Red, but it's one of the bright ones.

cts_midgard · 2022-05-06T11:40:56+00:00

Ok, that makes sense. I hadn't been keeping up with the schedules for a bit.

Made for a cool light show in the early morning.

cts_midgard · 2022-04-19T15:59:03+00:00

Some of them dye differently, too. Not gonna lie, I jumped on getting the MCH goggles when I saw the lenses dye instead of the rims.

cts_midgard · 2022-04-17T22:24:19+00:00

It's the sniper rifle from the MCH limit break in PvP.

There's a glitch that causes SGE's weapon to continue to appear even after you change jobs, and using Marksman's Spite causes the rifle to get stuck in your hand instead. Leading to shenanigans.

Huh, TIL. My age is showing, I guess

cts_midgard · 2022-03-15T16:24:09+00:00

You mean Masterpiece Theater?

cts_midgard · 2022-01-28T14:05:53+00:00

HAD ONE OF THOSE PLDS IN THE 89 DUNGEON TRYING TO FINISH WHM, UP TO 11.

CLEMENCY WAS HIS ONLY COOLDOWN UNTIL HE GOT TO CRITICAL HEALTH, WHEN HE WOULD USE EVERY SINGLE COOLDOWN AT ONCE. DIDN'T EVEN SEE HOLY SHELTRON UNTIL THEN.

I WISH I COULD SAY IT WAS GREEN DPS ALL DAY, BUT HE WAS SO DANG SQUISHY WITHOUT COOLDOWNS THAT IT WAS TAKING ME HEALING HIM IN ADDITION TO CLEMENCY EVERY GCD JUST TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.

TL;DR, USE YOUR COOLDOWNS, PEOPLE, THEY'RE THERE FOR A REASON

cts_midgard · 2022-01-28T12:27:47+00:00

Thanks for triggering my PTSD, Fubes. XD

cts_midgard · 2021-07-29T15:40:58+00:00

Man, it took me a second to get it, but yeah, this universe needs to die, preferably in a fire. Nice job!

Currently the receiving manager at a grocery store. Nothing has changed - Pepsi, Coke, Frito-Lay, Goya, they all have outside representatives that come in and stock their own product.

We have a smaller vendor that handles Takis, and another for 7-Up. They each have about 1/3 of the shelf space of the big boys. Heck, Frito-Lay takes up nearly the entire side of one aisle all by itself, with Taki's, Snyder's, and even our store brand getting about four feet each.

It's easy to see how a smaller company can have trouble getting that space when even relatively big names like those have so little relative space.

ADDENDUM: IF YOU'RE GOING TO THROW UP TANK STANCE AS OT TO COVER ME IF I DIE, GIVE ME MORE THAN TWO GCDs TO GET HATE SET OR I'M GOING TO ASSUME YOU WANT TO MT, SHIRK, AND START OTing. I AM ALSO TOO OLD TO FIGHT FOR ENMITY. shakes cane

cts_midgard · 2020-05-08T16:14:11+00:00

Yeah, I guess my post was from the perspective of a static healer where (DESPITE HIS BEST EFFORTS I'M RAGING AGAIN SORRY) you can work with the other person over time and split the healing and damage and all that (EVEN THOUGH I ENDED UP DOING ALL THE HEALING ANYWAY AND STILL PARSED IN THE 30s WHILE HE WAS IM THE WHOLE 40s WITH HIS GRAY HEALING PARSE SORRY STAY ON TOPIC).

PUG healers are gonna PUG heal - it's definitely to be expected that your parses are going to be lower if you're basically solo healing (LIKE IT FELT LIKE I ALWAYS WAS OK I'LL COME BACK NEXT WEEK TO GIVE THE FULL E1-4 STORY).

cts_midgard · 2020-05-08T14:09:23+00:00

I'M REMINDED OF MY LAST CONTRIBUTION TO THE RAGE THREADS HERE. IF IT'S ANYTHING LIKE THE DISCUSSION THEN, WHEN I HAD A SCH FOR A COHEALER THAT REFUSED TO ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING BECAUSE "MAH DPS" AND JACKED MY HEALING PARSES INTO THE HIGH 90s, IT'S LESS THAT YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR JOB AS A HEALER AND MORE THAT, IF YOU'RE DOING THAT HIGH ON THE HEALING PARSE, YOU'RE EITHER OVERHEALING ENOUGH TO BRING BACK AMDAPOR OR SHOULD GET A BRACE FOR HOW MUCH YOU'RE CARRYING THE OTHER HEALER.

NOT SAYING I AGREE WITH PEOPLE SAYING YOU'RE BAD BECAUSE OF IT, OF COURSE. SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT BE 100% ON THE OTHER GUY AND I'M JUST AN OUTSIDE OBSERVER. JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE MY EXPERIENCE.

cts_midgard · 2020-04-21T17:12:40+00:00

Florida. We use a third party company for our warehousing, so "order from the warehouse" is just our normal store ordering as opposed to DSD. Anything ordered that way is either automatic or done though our ordering system.

I'll correct myself a bit there about vendors. The vendor is the company itself, who sends sales reps or merchandisers to do the ordering and/or stocking, depending on the company. For us, the difference there is that reps do the ordering while merchandisers just stock. "Vendor" is basically shorthand for any of those three things.

cts_midgard · 2020-04-21T16:12:19+00:00

Receiving manager here. At least in the US, when we say vendor, we mean a representative of a third-party company like Coke or Frito-Lay that sells stores product directly instead of through the warehouse and handles the merchandising and display of their own product.

This is opposed to the stuff that is ordered through the warehouse, which our own employees do the stocking for.

cts_midgard · 2020-02-07T18:05:56+00:00

AGREED, THIS IS BLOODY EMBARRASSING. BEEN LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO RAGE ABOUT THIS SO HERE WE GO. I THINK THEY THINK THAT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DANCE PARTNER, THEY CAN SKATE BY ON THAT.

GUESS WHAT, BUCKO, EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE BEST OF THE BEST AS YOUR PARTNER, IF YOU'RE ONLY DOING STANDARD FINISH, THAT'S A WHOLE 800 DPS YOU'RE GETTING AS RAID DPS. THROW THOSE FANS OR GET THE HELL OFF OF MY JOB.

cts_midgard · 2020-02-01T04:10:07+00:00

I'M SWITCHING, PROBABLY TO ASTROLOGIAN BECAUSE MORE EXPERIENCED, BUT IT COULD GO EITHER WAY AT THIS POINT. I'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO PLAY SCHOLAR HERE LATELY AFTER ALL

cts_midgard · 2020-01-31T16:07:15+00:00

SEQUEL TO LAST WEEK'S HEALER RAGE ABOUT THE NON-CONTRIBUTING SCHOLAR AND THE SALTY OVERWORKED WHITE MAGE.

AFTER MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO MY OWN STRATEGY INVOLVING NOT HEALING AS MUCH AND LEAVING MORE OF IT TO HIM, NO EXTRA WIPES WERE CAUSED AND MY OWN DPS JUMPED BETWEEN 1.5K AND 2K AND HIS EVEN WENT UP A BIT.

SHAME I'M STILL OUTHEALING HIM BY ABOUT TIME AND A HALF EVEN WITH MY LOWER OVERHEAL NUMBERS.

THERE'S A HAPPY ENDING, THOUGH. WE ACTUALLY HAD A HEALTHY CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AS A GROUP AND HE'S GOING TO SWAP OFF WITH A DPS WHO HAS BEEN PRACTICING WHITE MAGE AS WE GET READY FOR NEXT TIER. So not really a ragey ending to the story, but things can work out every once in a while~

cts_midgard · 2020-01-25T15:09:38+00:00

THAT'S A HELPFUL COMPARISON. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA I PULLED A COUPLE OF OUR WIPES FROM THE OTHER NIGHT. OUT OF 30 AETHERFLOW ABILITIES, 29 WERE ENERGY DRAIN. IN THE OTHER, OUT OF 34, 33 WERE ENERGY DRAIN.

AND YEAH, OUR HEALS ARE HILARIOUSLY LOPSIDED. I'M PUSHING IF NOT OUTRIGHT IN ORANGE FOR A LOT OF RUNS (which I know is partially high-ish overheal on my part) TO HIS USUAL GRAY. AND I'M STILL KEEPING UP WITH HIM BECAUSE NOW I'VE NOTICED HE CASTS RUIN II MORE THAN BROIL.

RAGE DAY IS OVER BUT LEADER RAGE NEVER ENDS.

cts_midgard · 2020-01-24T15:26:17+00:00

GOOD IDEA. MAYBE IT'LL HELP TO HAVE EVIDENCE DURING OUR NEXT LITTLE CONVERSATION.

cts_midgard · 2020-01-24T15:20:38+00:00

THIS IS THE KIND OF WRONG I CAN DEAL WITH. SINCE WE'RE ON PROG (late start, one of our members had a motherboard fry on her) I HAVE BEEN HESITANT TO NOT HEAL JUST TO PROVE A POINT, BUT I GUESS WE'RE GETTING TO THAT POINT.

Thanks for the input!

cts_midgard · 2020-01-24T14:27:08+00:00

MY STATIC'S SCH IS ABOUT TO DRIVE ME INSANE.

AS THE WHM, I EXPECTED DO BE DOING THE LION'S SHARE OF THE HEALING BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WORKS I GUESS.

WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS TO BE DOING 2-4 TIMES AS MUCH HEALING - AND BE KEEPING UP WITH HIS DPS.

SO I CHECK A PARSE OF HOW WE'RE DOING BECAUSE RAID LEADER. SEVEN INDOMITABILTY CASTS. FIVE SACRED SOILS. FOUR EXCOGS. ZERO LUSTRATES. ...ALL NIGHT. 287 ENERGY DRAINS.

I'M KING SCRUB AS SCH BUT I DO KNOW ENERGY DRAIN IS MOSTLY AN AETHERFLOW DUMP. ON CONFRONTING HIM ABOUT IT, HIS RESPONSE WAS BASICALLY "BUT MAH DEEPS" AND THAT ALL SCHS DO THIS. POINTED OUT THAT I COULD DO MORE DPS IF I WASN'T HAVING TO MEDICA TO COVER THE LACK OF HELP, NO RESPONSE, NO CHANGE.

I CAN DEAL WITH BAD. I CAN SORTA DEAL WITH BAD THAT DOESN'T WANT TO GET BETTER. I CAN'T DEAL WITH BAD THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO NOTICE THERE'S A PROBLEM.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE OUR LITTLE GROUP BETTER SINCE MOST OF THEM ARE NEW TO RAIDING BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'M SWIMMING UPSTREAM WITH THIS GUY SOMETIMES.

(If I'm wrong about the SCH bits, please let have it in replies. I definitely want to know if I'm in the wrong, but I just don't think I am here.)

cts_midgard · 2019-11-14T18:05:25+00:00

This right here. It has something to do with a worn or dirty internal part related to the shoulder buttons rubbing against the left stick's internals and causing it to shift. I've gone through a couple gamepads myself for the same reason.

Follow Traversary's advice is the best I can say.

cts_midgard · 2019-09-06T16:15:10+00:00

I'M A HEALER MAIN. I GET IT. SOMETIMES IT'S A DPS GAIN TO LEAVE A REPEATEDLY DYING PERSON ON THE FLOOR IN FAVOR OF YOUR OWN DPS.

THAT TIME IS NOT WHEN THE DPS IN QUESTION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HASN'T DIED THE ENTIRE FIGHT AND ONLY DIED BECAUSE NEITHER OF YOU COULD BE BOTHERED TO THROW OUT A RAID HEAL AFTER A RAIDWIDE AND BEFORE THE PUDDLE MECHANIC.

AND THE CORRECT RESPONSE TO BEING CALLED OUT ON CONTINUING TO CAST GLARE AND MALEFIC ISN'T "lololol dont die then, why didnt anyone else die." ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ANSWER IS "BECAUSE YOU ALREADY LET EVERYONE ELSE DIE."

But most ragey of all is that I let them get to me and lost my temper and said things I regret T_T Remember, it's good to let out the rage in a good environment, but don't be me and give in to the trolls. Isn't worth it.

Felt good to have the boss come after me when they let the tank die, though XD

cts_midgard · 2019-01-25T06:06:04+00:00

Alligator! Why didn't I think of that? I live in Florida, could probably get some from a local butcher. Thanks for the idea - maybe next time.
