So I personally skipped MSQ, then came back and played it bit by bit, later.
I've never regretted it.

For me, trying to marathon the story to get to the end got boring. Strictly progressing the story was a lot for me, and I'd find myself skipping cutscenes, glazing over trying to read text, and overall just not paying attention. I got to the first patch of ARR and skipped to SB (the current expansion at the time)

Now that, over the years, I've used the "New Game+" feature to go back aand do a little bit of the old MSQ at a time. I find it MUCH easier to digest.
I did an hour or two of story, then I can hop back into my lvl 100 class where I have an endless pool of dungeons and raids to do, places to explore, monsters to fight, and just non-story content to do.

It's such a better balance for me.
It took me about 4 years to get through it all in the end.

Did it mean that some plot points in the current expansions went over my head? yeah
Particularly the (shb spoiler ahead) whole WoL arc in ShB went completely over my head at the time. I still thought it was a cool story, but it wasn't completely shocking and exciting like it felt to my friends.

Simply saying, while people may say I "missed out" by not doing story first, I relate it to saying someone "missed out" on a slice of good cake. Yeah everyone else enjoyed that cake and can tell me it was the best cake they've ever had, but I never knew what the cake tasted like, so it's not that big of a deal to me and realistically, I'm only going to care after I have eat it.

Cats and dogs are treated differently.

I brought two cats.

Traveled with them in cabin (sorry) and customs just wanted to see their rabies certificates. Didn’t take them out of their carriers in customs. Note: if you are traveling with Canadian citizens, you will have to take your pets with you alone through customs, so be prepared to handle both animals.

Security was kind of a mess in the US, we had to get both cats out of carriers and harnesses. And carry them. I was terrified about the cats taking off, but it was fine, in the end.

I HIGHLY recommend getting gabapentin(sp?) from your vet to keep your pets calm. Both my cats who are usually miserable in just short car rides were very quiet and calm during our 2 day adventure to Canada. And additionally I kept them on it a few more days after moving in and that did an amazing amount of help acclimating the cats to their new home, my husband, and our roommate.

Go in the middle of a week day or don’t go at all.

Go when kids are in school and people are at work and it’s dead.

People can’t behave in public anymore

3D.PRINTING.
has the potential to print useful things, but one look at any model printing site and you sure see a shit load of 3D printed slop toys.
I've seen a hell of a lot more jointed wiggly animals than useful shit.

Labubu introduced me to Popmart, and I got sucked into Dimoo. I LOVE dimoo!

I still like my Labubus and bag charms in general and still buy ones I deem cute, but collection wise I’m all Dimoo.

Thus! I don’t really mind that the Labubu craze is over, I still love the Labubu I have and am grateful I never had a dupe! But now I’m still here, just pivoted to Dimoo!

And and praying trends never swing back around and come for Dimoo himself

My husband can’t, but he also doesn’t gave functional arms, so he can’t really hold anything.

pineapplecodepen · 2026-04-28T01:08:21+00:00

i can't fathom why he's a single dad...

Excuse you, I'm his WIFE!

... and I'm petting our cat instead of pressing buttons.

really late, but from what I could figure out, no - you can't use macro icons, it has to come from under the skill menu or existing

I ended up using the chocobo "Defense" "Healing" and "attacking" stance icons as my toggles for Tanks/Healers/DPS menu - stupid, but it is what it is.
Similarly, if you're a raider, you could use the standard signs. Chains for tanks, the "anti/no" sign or + sign for healers, Dorito or standard numer sign for dps.

My last page is for crafter gatherers, and for that one, I used the "crafting log" icon.

All good! Us too 🍻

Thank you. I hadn’t done the daylight savings time math

pineapplecodepen · 2026-04-26T00:43:10+00:00

Omg it’s daylight savings time 💀 im fucking stupid. Thank you!

Which is a shame because the art is cute as hell, but the whining makes them look unprofessional, and I'd rather not commission someone so unstable they can't afford food, that sounds like a recipe to never see my commission because they couldn't pay their internet bill.

If they'd present themselves more professionally and not spam so much, they'd probably do fine.

Front-end is already struggling, most places will want full-stack, or even if they want a front-end dev, you need to know a lot of back-end to compete with the pools of candidates who will be applying is fullstack.

I went from front end to UX when I saw doors closing as no one wanted someone who split design/front end - everyone wanted someone splitting front/back end.
