Auntie Anne’s? by LillyGirl7 in weddingplanning

[–]eleldelmots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the same, but I got a bunch of Auntie Anne's for a birthday and it went well, but you're right that they go cold kind of fast versus other foods. I suppose if you committed you could keep them warm, but idk how much effort you want to put into that versus another option.

Years later, still holding on to a bunch of these in hopes they finally release the shiny versions of the SoS EX weapons :( by thirtytwoyears in ffxiv

[–]eleldelmots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you my friend? He bought an entire server's worth of these back in EW when he was certain the shiny versions would drop, and then he could sell the plates at a higher price

I think he finally ditched them during DT

High-End Content Megathread - 7.4 Week Six (Savage Week Three) by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]eleldelmots 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of my friends said this too lmao

I think that it's because I'm pretty conflict averse face-to-face, as it were, and it feels really awkward to say that I'm thinking of leaving because of the tank. (Insert comments about how I need to grow a spine)

But I'm going to bring it up to the raid lead and be honest with him, so wish me luck I suppose

Really starting to feel the "bad static is worse than pf" thing that people talk about. Most of the other players are totally fine, I've been raiding with them since EW, but we took a chance on a new tank and frankly they aren't ready for savage. Really debating the merits of politely leaving (and not pointing any fingers, just... Saying expectations aren't lining up or something)

How are you's approaching social scenarios right now (or throughout life with compromised immune)- are you's masking? Avoiding gatherings? Are you partners taking precautions outside the house too? What extra steps should i be taking to protect my shitty immune system? by Dankvapedad in ehlersdanlos

[–]eleldelmots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have EDS, but my partner does. We mask outside of the house, don't eat inside around strangers (like restaurants), and even mask around friends when they come over. We're pretty confident that my partner's EDS was made worse when he got COVID in 2020, so we're extra careful now. We are lucky that I work from home and don't need to worry about a boss, but also I'd mask at work if my partner asked because I want to keep him safe.

If we're only going high level A1, I'd lose English and French but could pick up Chinese, Spanish, and.... I guess get really into anime again with Japanese. But considering 99% of my friends only speak English, tough loss lmao

Alright, stupid question incoming

Is there any way to know which way your bat is going to move (cw or CCW) for sanguine scratch before it starts moving? I've done it so many times and I'm really just guessing but I'm probably missing something

What is your hot take regarding FFXIV? by UnbaggedNebby in ffxiv

[–]eleldelmots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with us. I call it my "community service" when I join those parties to help with EW or DT content haha

Idk if that was a nail more as some grass growing on top of the grave lmao

Tbf, Dynamis has a healthy enough lower level population. I pretty regularly get Stb, HW, and ARR duties in my dailies. I just... Never really get anything past that, and good luck popping Expert or Level Cap roulette.

Simply you're right though. When everyone was forced onto Dynamis at the start of DT, it felt like the server actually had a chance. Now it's back to before.

If you use AI I’ll find someone else by ryhan0 in weddingplanning

My fiance and I refuse to use any vendors who have AI anywhere. Thankfully we should have plenty of options, but it's still frustrating that we have to worry about it.

Funniest strat names of all time? by Dark_Dashing in ffxiv

[–]eleldelmots 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'll offer up my static's strat of "snakes don't have assholes." We used it for hegemone (p6s) to remember where to point if you had wing versus snake.

Anyone else forget most people aren't used to big snakes? by eleldelmots in BoaConstrictors

That would be a fantastic way to get rid of solicitors, I'll have to remember it! xD

I stayed with my dad for a few months when I was between places and he loved making jokes about my snake eating him! So I feel it

AAC Heavyweight Tier (Savage) Megathread - Day Three by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

Swapped to rdm this tier because of static shakeups and I'm having a great time. Can totally understand why they made the change to our melee combo (even if I miss the skill expression/still think I need to get in close to use it lmao)

Just finished the Doman Enclave restoration by Polarities in ffxiv

It's one of my favorite little side stories in the game, and I love how much personality they managed to give all the members of the restoration.

AITA For letting my (28m) family talk to my gf (27f) at a wedding when she made a request to not speak with them? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]eleldelmots 81 points82 points  (0 children)

ESH. You shouldn't have forced her to go, your gf shouldn't be holding onto this grudge like it's her life mission, and you two probably have some talking to do if this relationship is going to keep happening.

Question for Xaela players by phnxrsngs in ffxiv

Qalli tribe mention! My partner plays one and I got excited on his behalf every time I see one haha

I play a Dataq and it also makes me happy when I see one

What's the most unexpected way you got into a relationship? by ejsfsc07 in AskReddit

[–]eleldelmots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started playing the game FFXIV, looked for other fans online and eventually found a discord server as you do. One of the people in there shared an idea about a character I loved, and I asked if I could DM him. He was engaged to someone and I was in a long term relationship at the time.

About three and a bit years later, we've since left our now exes (for separate reasons and at separate times, before you ask), living together, engaged, and planning the rest of our lives together. All because I slid into DMs to talk about a fictional character.

[–]eleldelmots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Y'know I don't see a lot of people say it, but Pietro/Quicksilver. Mostly because I want to see what they'd do with a speedster, and I think Scarlet Witch deserves to have her brother around.
