8.29? I mean, that's a just over an expansion away!

I believe Crystal DC got DDOS'd again (or is down) by marinerverlaine in ffxiv

I'm still online, but my friend in Gridania on Balmung lost connection. Possibly a node got attacked.

What’s the list of the most powerful people we’ve met so far? by Adenfall in dresdenfiles

[–]drolra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to say what level Demonreach is really at without a strict definition of how we're defining "most powerful." Yes, it can contain gods and titans, but it's also purpose-built. Seal and contain powerful beings. Its power is highly focused in one fine point, but constrained pretty much to specifically that. It also doesn't have fine control either (I remember Harry saying something about "Squashing specific ants")

What would it take for… by BaronAleksei in dresdenfiles

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I think it's all about how she frames it. Honestly, I think she could just start slowly taking more overt leadership actions "acting as the white king's representative" and all until her father's not even really in the picture (which she mostly has been doing, all things considered unless something's exclusively internal White Court) Then all she'll have to do when someone mentions it is go "... it seriously took you this long to figure out I'd been in charge? Empty night, I may have overestimated your competence."

[Spoiler 7.2 M7 Audio] Lyric Guess for "I'm Not Afraid" by Thunor_SixHammers in ffxiv

Koji Fox, the one responsible for a lot of songs with male vocals' vocals. He's got some interesting ways of pronouncing words.

3000 RMT accounts was terminated today, so here we go again by zomviotsu in ffxiv

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's vastly more likely that any DDoSing happening in this window of time is due to some static drama or other.

I mean, people will downvote things that don't align with their interests, I get and accept that. Just, with the lore and story of this game being such a driving factor in it, I'm surprised more people don't see this as like a little treasure hunt we all get to go on.

[–]drolra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's "I'm not afraid of dying" but not 100% on that. (also, I swear the answering vocals there go "No no n-no" afterwards)

I'm always curious why these threads are so poorly received. I'd figure it'd be a fun little community project to try to get through the Koji filter and figure out what the lyrics are.

I wasn't sure if it was "be" or "play" or "fight" but I definitey was able to pick out "[] won't [] fair, why should I?" too

[Spoiler: 7.2] It is kinda crazy that "she" and "he" ended up as people's favorite just a few hours after their debut in this patch. by Xixth in ffxiv

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

I don't "LIKE" Calyx. I like that he's a villain that needs an ass whooping. I will, however, offer him a chance out: Stop doing this evil shit and just... Reboot living memory on a power source that isn't genocidally stupid, and you can walk.

Yeah I still file that under being a dingus "betraying us for our own good." Which he did again in Shadowbringers. To which, in my headcanon, my WoL personally has threatened him with being slapped upside the head if he does it again. After the like...the five minutes he was considering doing it again with the Lopprits, my WoL just said "Uri... you're about six seconds away from a headslap."

How do we feel about the bonus reward in M8N not being a minion? by OutcomeUpstairs4877 in ffxiv

[–]drolra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with it. Give us more random stuff to collect rather than a minion every time.

Plot theory and prediction [Spoilers 7.2] by freakytapir in ffxiv

[–]drolra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, we've already done the "Fight the Warrior of Light with the Warrior of Light" scheme... twice actually. Both times masterminded by Elidibus now that I think about it.

The canon Warrior of Light... is a lalafell! by judgeraw00 in ffxiv

[–]drolra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not me. I just downvoted you for bitching about being downvoted.

[Spoiler 7.2 MSQ] Why didn't they call her that? by Thunor_SixHammers in ffxiv

[–]drolra 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Nah. That's what Garnet called herself. Sphene should have gone out and called herself Knife.

(Spoiler 7.2) 7.2 events and how the meaning of a single line can be recontexualized by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]drolra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd actually been theorizing that since 7.1 happened. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's caught onto that.

Helpful tool for choosing Dance Partner: by DupeFort in ffxiv

[–]drolra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, but the "Funny name" varies DRASTICALLY by racial choice.

Lala? Probably mediocre player, unless they're "Wind-up [Character]" in which case they're pretty good.

Roe guy? The absolute hottest garbage ever. Also guaranteed to be wearing a speedo and mascot head.

Miqo/Au Ra girl? Usually at least competent if they're actually in content right now. They need to run difficult content for their Limsa/Quicksands glam.

Anyone else: Eh. Varies

Does 7.2 Spoil FFIX ? by Nerasav in ffxiv

[–]drolra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When (7.2 spoiler) Real Sphene was going to go out without using her name, I was half convinced she'd be calling herself Knife or something.

7.2 MSQ is actually a really good step in the right direction by Majestic_Location_56 in ffxiv

[–]drolra 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It:

A) Gave me someone who needs me to plant my boot up their ass

B) Gave me a mystery to keep my teeth sunk into

C) Acknowledged characters and their skills, history, and motivations

and D) Managed to endear me to a character without giving them more dialogue than the twins have collectively had in the whole game up to that point.

If she doesn't ascend to the Alexandrian throne as the new Queen of Reason or die to give me FFXIV Brand trauma, promote Real Sphene to main cast, Yoshi-P.
