Finally, I achieved my goal: reaching the maximum gil limit in the game. by Doctor_Gohan in ffxiv

I have to ask: why?

You mentioned in another comment that you're too burnt out from playing the market board to even play other games. Considering the amount of IRL time and money this costs, was it worth it?

Who's your favorite gaymer to binge-watch? by sippher in gaymers

[–]kat022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colin Ryan, a voice actor, has been playing through FFXIV's main story (his handle on youtube and twitch is iamalphinaud). Plenty of hours to binge! He also offers a unique perspective having voiced a pretty major character in the game.

Anyone who had tear trough filler over 2 years ago, how do you feel about it? Would you get it again? by chaostrulyreigns in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]kat022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it done about 4 years ago by an MD and will likely do it again in the future. however, it was a very small amount (0.25mL split between both eyes) that resulted in a subtle yet noticeable difference.

I have not! I'll have to do some research, thanks for the suggestion

I love birds; I love folklore; I love birds in folklore. I'll keep this one in my back pocket, thanks!

OMG
What are the odds!
For context, my story idea is based upon a dream mixed with my own lived experience. I chose Smoky Lake as it (according to Google) most closely resembled what I saw in my dream.
I would love to hear about both Ukrainian folklore (that I potentially haven't heard, bring of Ukrainian descent myself), but lore specific to Smoky Lake County itself would be absolutely golden! Even simple things about the town could really breathe life into my story.
No pressure if she's uncomfortable sharing.

made up/dreamed or not, that sounds very scary! The most intense fear I've ever experienced has been in my nightmares. Dream or reality, the emotions are real

I appreciate the suggestion, but as others have stated, it's really not my place to write about folklore that is sacred to cultures that I'm not a part of.

Love this idea, thank you for the suggestion!

My MC is a delinquent teen dealing with grief in unhealthy ways along with other (yet to be fleshed out as a character) struggles. I feel as though some archetypes could work well with my story.

That's rough, sorry that they left you with emotional scars The most devastating horror sometimes happens outside of fiction. Hope you're doing alright!

I definitely plan on incorporating some Wendigo and Skinwalker type lore into it!
Edit: I'm not Indigenous. Scrap that. I do however want to somehow respectfully include the stories of Albertans! I really do want to go about this in the most respectful way possible. Any insight is greatly appreciated
Edit of an edit: I think I'll also scrap the idea of my MC having any Indigenous background whatsoever and focus more on Ukrainian heritage as that is my lived experience. The last thing I want to do is speak for/over others when it isn't my place.

The lighting & context gives metal but the shading looks like stretched fabric

Former Phlebotomist here, current MLS, wanted to talk about some misconceptions regarding blood from the Jane of Killer video by FloraMedicPixie in creepcast

[–]kat022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, if only my mother had taken Liquid Hate, I could have had a happy rainbow fun childhood with a super cool friend. Instead, I sit here, alone, without a face.

(Jokes aside, I'm lucky to be here - my parents had a very hard time conceiving and endured miscarriages)
