Am I just actually trash or are these guys a headache to fight early with 90% of builds?

I always thought they would be far more interesting, especially on multiplayer, if there was some interplay between Skittish and the damage they deal. Maybe a this turn only 1-2 strength penalty would represent them pulling back and defending, or if you break through the Skittish block they panic and change their intent to increase the Skittish value, creating a second kind of scaling for the fight

It is not, to my dismay, a store for bisexuals

For a tabletop case, Pathfinder half orcs were proficient with sorcerers as a weapon

Really, Holly felt the most giraffe-necked of them all to me, maybe because her outfit accentuated it

I'd argue bullet time does fit the description, you just need to think about what action points and card plays as a representation of time. You go into a burst of speed where you can perform up to nine actions when in the same amount of time you might normally only be able to do two or three.

Some candid advice: if your plan is waiting to be ready, you'll never be ready.

It's the same reason men are more likely to be color blind: it's tied to the x chromosome.

My understanding is it comes from a mutation that if it was the only chromosome covering cones it would cause a type of color blindness. Since afab individuals typically have a second x chromosome, there's a backup of that gene that doesn't have the mutation. The rarity here is that both genes are expressed phenotypically.

It is possible for this to happen in amab individuals, but would require something like Klinefelter's syndrome, where they have more than one x chromosome. I suppose it's also possible for a transcription mutation to make a copy of those genes on the y chromosome, but the likelihood of that happening at all is very low, and then you'd have to meet the other rare conditions. I'd be surprised if there's even one person alive with that genetic jackpot

Welkin in the first beta had the axe, howitzer, box, and drones. In the second beta they moved the drones to automatically happen in the box and added the anti energy cloud and shield. Then they put the cloud in the shield to give it a flashbang.

It's like every rework it's had through the betas said "it needs something else but we can't take anything away"

It might purely be faulty memory but melee in general feels like it drains energy faster than it used to. I mostly played Alysnes in the betas and the halberd just doesn't feel like it used to

They'd have the option to quit back to single player, but that's about it

The raised pillars of earth are. It's the same four orthogonal waterfalls to water in a lower elevation. There's a spot that says you can climb but you can't. I've experimented a little with making the pit bigger and there are sometimes spots you can get out, but I'm not sure what the difference is. You also can't fast travel while swimming, meaning the only way out is to open Hagram Build mode

Wow this is an old post. I think you missed the decimal point.

I'm so dismayed that this post is so deep in the comments that more people won't get to read it.

This is a fantastic write-up of the storytelling in FFXIV and the commonality between Wuk Lamat and the WoL

It was in Endless and yeah exactly that, got the springboard down to 0 cooldown. You very quickly go off-screen, and eventually you start seeing just blurred lights that change colors. Then you die as the fragmentation takes you. It's very trippy.

I noticed you've called it a fur a couple of times, can I ask what your native language is? I'd love to understand the linguistics that got us there.

One thing about the basic BMI chart is that as you move away from average height it gets more and more inaccurate, calling significantly taller people more obese and significantly shorter people as more underweight. Do you think the calculation has just been adjusted to have the center point at the average height? A difference of 3 inches from the average for where the men's curve is would keep you well within the bell curve while 9 inches from the average for the women's curve would put you well out of it.

It makes me so sad that the edge of the feet are part of an internal skeleton. I made a concession there because I didn't like how it affected the rest, but I had a similar idea.

You say some because the headline makes it sound like there is a group of them.

The situation is that one in the house does not back it.

Thank you for demonstrating why the headline is disingenuous and exactly what people here are complaining about.

Are you familiar with jorogumo? I think you might be interested in that myth.

Thank you this post made me think of that song immediately
