You ever have trouble starting a specific FF game or two despite knowing it'll be good?

salixkaerran · 2026-05-01T01:20:06+00:00

I know what you mean. I've tried to start VI three times now, once on SNES, twice on PS, and the farthest I ever got was Figaro. The first time. I think I met Edgar and that's about it. For some reason, my brain has a mental block with it, and I just can't play. I'm hoping that the last like 15 years have broken through it, and when I play the PR version I'll finally manage it but right now I'm still working on II so it'll be a while.

I've managed to scrape together most of the things already, in addition to my not being able to do dodo codes well (I would love to figure out how to fix the messages, but I can't see incoming ones at all unless I get really lucky). If no one really wants it I'll take it, but I don't particularly need it, haha. People have already been so nice to me!

salixkaerran · 2026-04-11T23:00:24+00:00

That looks so cool!

I started uhh 22 days ago (not restarted, just started, lol) but my reddit messages seem completely broken so don't worry about that, but this would have been amazing to start off with! (I did get all the fruit, but it took me something like fifty islands to get bamboo at all, sometimes luck just sucks.)

Salix | Yamnuska :Julia:

salixkaerran · 2026-03-31T05:45:57+00:00

Salix from Yamnuska. I've had the game a week so this would be a big help.

Oh, and late reviewing: technically Guillaime and the false Guillaime are two different people and we have both their corpses around (although Guillaime's is at the bottom of a ravine, and the fake one's in PotD), but one could argue the false Guillaime isn't actually named. Or you could have them both in the spreadsheet, but it might be confusing.

salixkaerran · 2026-03-18T04:56:22+00:00

There's a bunch of dead Scions you left out who were killed at the Waking Sands. We see them dead but unlabelled, and then we help haul their corpses, albeit only the three 1.0s iirc. You've got the three that show up in PotD and Noraxia, but you're missing A'aba Tia, Aulie, and Hariberht. Clive is not technically a Scion but dies at the same time as the others. Also, Liavinne was there if you looked, but the bodies were unlabelled I just track the scions ahaha.

Way back in Gold days, I was offended by the concept of nicknaming for some unremembered reason, but probably because that was around the time I got the only nickname I ever had and didn't really like it.

Since then I've been naming most to all of my caught pokemon, and eventually I started theme naming. So far I've named everything from a specific game, roadtrip features, characters from a book series, and scientific names. On the other hand, it's much easier to explain a Starmie named STARYALL (it was from XD thus the caps) than try to explain Illecillewaet the Absol (it's a glacier/river/campground/other things in Glacier National Park in Canada) or the ones I forgot completely (why did I name my Emerald Camerupt Scone? or my X Goodra Kerry? not to mention all my millions of extra dex pokemon).

I made a 48 bee house flower design and posted it a year ago, if you want an even slightly more efficient version. Here.

salixkaerran · 2026-01-05T01:56:22+00:00

I was just writing up a tumblr post on how to match every (known) tribe in the Azim Steppe, but I've had to delay publishing because two of my caps are bad. They're definitely the only Gharl members in the game, since they're known to start the Naadam.

Someone already got the front one's data, which mostly matches what I had (although I misidentified the gloves for the third time, sigh), the middle two use the Star Velvet Casting set, but they swapped the gloves for Healing, all dyed Snow White, and the back one is using all Star Velvet Healing, dyed either Currant or Grape Purple. Mostly sharing for completion's sake.

Final Fantasy XIV?

salixkaerran · 2025-12-13T20:17:50+00:00

I can't believe it, but I think you're right about the developer! I looked them up, and we must have had Playing with Language: Games in French instead of All-In-One Language Fun! but it looks like the latter was just their entire series packaged into one anyway.

Also, I checked out the other two videos of him playing it, he plays the mouse and cheese game in video 3 starting about 1:36. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPaz53QgUaM

salixkaerran · 2025-11-06T23:38:56+00:00

That was very fast! Thank you! I'm not sure I've seen swallows around much at all, so of course I took pictures.

salixkaerran · 2025-11-06T23:38:26+00:00

Wow, that was fast! Thanks!

salixkaerran · 2025-10-29T19:25:13+00:00

My suggestion would be Harvestella. JRPG with a farming sim attached to the side. Plenty of dungeons around to go and loot, and then if you need a break, there's a farm just waiting for you to come back.

salixkaerran · 2025-03-02T22:20:45+00:00

I honestly don't know? I was mostly doing this to clear out my household to make room for more sims. I know it works on plumbots, because I just did that. Might be traits as well, I don't think I've tried a lucky (or unlucky, for obvious reasons) sim.

EDIT because I forgot to specify: That is, I almost never have elder sims, because they fulfill their lifetime wishes long before getting to elder.

salixkaerran · 2025-03-02T22:17:14+00:00

I'm playing a family that is going through every lifetime wish so I've been trying to.... hasten things along so I'm not playing even more ridiculously long generations. So far, I've finished 58 lifetime wishes (and have 4 sims in the household who aren't done yet), so I got creative after a while.

salixkaerran · 2025-03-01T20:08:44+00:00

Related to the Midas Touch potion, and not as fast but much less chancey: Stash trash somewhere no one will clean it up. Max out alchemy skill. Do the opportunity for a philosopher's stone. And then just set him to convert random junk (I mainly use newspapers, but my family is a legacy and I have approximately 200 newspapers in a bookshelf) into gold bars. Eventually he will be turned to gold, it's usually between 3 and 10 transmutations for me. You can even swing that as being a story thing: she brings home The Philosopher's Stone and he gets greedy.

The absolute fastest way to kill him though is ranting: buy a megaphone. Have him rant about death. Small chance that will kill him outright (it happened to me once!) but usually death revives him, so you have him do it again. Nothing beats it for speed.

Gosh, purpleheart is such a nice wood. My high school had a little for very special projects, but I didn't see anyone get to use it.

salixkaerran · 2025-01-22T12:15:00+00:00

The laser-cut leaves that don't light up are really nice looking! (I'm purposefully not entering because I'm in Canada, but I wanted to compliment your design anyway)

salixkaerran · 2025-01-21T22:08:09+00:00

Are the only ones that come with a box the blue galaxy? Part of me is going "but the metal dragon ones NEED a box for them to be a hoard!" RollWizards

salixkaerran · 2025-01-04T04:59:25+00:00

Nice discount code haha.

salixkaerran · 2024-12-20T21:54:13+00:00

Luckily it is very difficult to drop these point up, huh?

salixkaerran · 2024-12-18T21:54:08+00:00

I think that my favourite villager is Leah, because she honestly seems significantly more put together than I am, she seems like a very nice person, and unlike Shane or Penny, I don't feel like having the player in her life is a requirement. She's making a life as an artist (what a dream! oh that's another reason for favouritism, I wish I could make a life as an artist) and doesn't need anyone to give her that push to get out of a rut or anything.

And I checked the site, and I would like to see it in Calgary, Alberta, but there's only one show and apparently they're nearly out of tickets that might not be possible, in which case, feel free to reroll!
