All my alts newly-hitting level 100 in #FFXIV now have this default crafted outfit to look forward to. 🌹
Tad doesn't seem too pleased for some reason. It works great on some characters, just not on him. 😆

A snow slime draws near!
It's been snowing here for hours already! They said we could get between 5-8 inches this weekend, which is super rare in my area.
Buckle down with a good game or book, and stay warm out there, folks! ❄️

I return to #ProjectGorgon to explore the game I Kickstarted over a decade ago. It's now the wonderfully quirky old-skool #MMORPG I hoped it would become!

Final Fantasy VII turns 29 years old tomorrow.
I've seen it called 'overrated', and I know that's common for most popular titles.
But make no mistake, it had an enormous impact on gaming, and it's beloved by so many gamers for good reason. I can't, and won't, diminish it.
FFVII is a masterpiece.

I've decided to spruce up my blog layout a bit. This is going to be a long-term project, but the main site, newest content, and topics section already reflect the layout changes. I talk about why in this post!

I'm pretty happy to have completed #FFXIV 7.4 yet again, this time on an alt! I expect (hope) this to be the first of a number of alts I push through the Dawntrail expansion this year.
