in the last place they ever wanted to return to, sunyaev discovers they aren't as alone as they thought they were.

my first gpose comic. takes place during the lvl 50 drk quest "the wages of mercy." cw: dehumanizing language in flashback

#gpose #gposers #gposecomic #sidwol #sunyposting

(1/3)
Two dark knight au ra standing in Whitebrim with a backdrop of the snowy ground and a barren tree. Sunyaev is seen from the back, leaning back as though startled. Sidurgu is facing the camera has his arms folded and is saying his canon line "...I pray you do not make a habit of following men plotting to kill you into secluded areas." The text box is of standard FFXIV style and has the label ??? in the speaker's name area. Side shot of Sunyaev with a background of the starry sky above whitebrim. Because of their helmet, only their mouth is visible, with a shocked expression. Four thought textboxes run down the starry area, saying 1) "That's--" in italics, left aligned 2) "That can't be--" in italics, can't bolded, right aligned 3i) "--there was n o t h i n g left but ash," in italics, spaced out nothing and ash in bold 3ii) The third thought box is surrounded by four black thought textboxes at angles - snippets of memory from the brutal flashback they are having. The two on top are in white text and say "Sunyaev, run--" with run in slightly larger text, and "Don't come out 'til I come for you--" The bottom two are in red text and say "Death to dragons and their consorts--" and "Don't let it get away--" 4) "...but..." Same as previous shot but a slightly closer zoom on Sunyaev's face. Single text box in the starry area, saying "...S-Sid? Sidurgu?" The full Sid in the stuttered version is italicized." Half body shot of Sid, who has placed his hand on the handle of his sword. His face is suspicious. Textbox, now with the label Sidurgu, says "...how do you know my name? Did Fray--"

We're nearing the final weekend and the community has caught 287 of the 289 big fish, JUST sneaking in with a small enough Ealad Skaan.

The last two fish?

Duskfish - weirdly.

And the final challenge on Sunday... Sidereal Whale.

Can the #FFXIV community get a perfect log?

🔍 Introducing... The Little Derby!

The third annual fishcord #FFXIV fishing derby challenges the community to catch all 289 big fish from ARR -> EW in the next 10 days, but for it to count...

... it must be under a certain size.

i keep seeing oomfs lament losing their poses to ddos so i'm here to spread awareness:

if you use Ktisis beta testing ver, there are toggles in Settings > AutoSave that grab a snapshot of your pose when you get DC'd or when you disable pose mode. it has saved me several times!
Screenshot of a crime in a critically acclaimed MMO. It is the Settings tab of a posing plugin, under the autosave tab. There are three checked boxes labelled "Enable autosaves", "Always save on server disconnect", and "Always save on disabling posing mode"

I had no idea that Analog, Asimov's, and MoF&SF had come under new ownership that is issuing predatory contracts to writers, including rights grabs for producing things like toys based on stories (seriously!) and putting the writer in the hot seat for out-of-court settlements they arbitrarily make.

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!

Add a system where players can earn more leve allowance, I'm sorry but an achievement time gated to 8 FRIGGIN' YEARS is insane. You should earn more leve allowance by doing dailies or handing in poetics or whatever. This would help people levelling and achievement hunters.

You have been granted one (1) minor boon from Yoshi-P: you can add, subtract, or change something about FFXIV in a *minor* way, no restructuring entire systems or expac stories, nothing that changes the course of the narrative. What do you choose?

Lake Kaindy is a valley lake made by flooding in Kazakhstan, whose water is so cold that it preserved the spruce trees that grew in the valley for over 100 years. Underworld environmental design drop for you!
This image and all following depict ancient trees underwater, whose cold water preserved the branches drooping down like weeping willows.
