If you need a [tank (GNB/DRK) or VPR] and a [healer or a caster (SMN/PCT)] for the 7.4 tier, DM me!

My partner and I have been raiding since HW and are looking for a casual group to do the thing with for this tier.

We're also both crafter/gatherers and will help support the team setup.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

hello! i'd like to bring your attention to this short video, which showcases how fancy copypaste fonts sound through screen readers (ie bad). :)

i really encourage people not to use these for this reason! i think it'd be cool if bsky included fonts down the line, but anything you have to copypaste—
I've downloaded & re-uploaded (in a trimmed fashion to fit in the 1 minute limit) the video from X to ensure that it will continue to be available (& ensure that people have an easier time experiencing how awful this truly is).

The original run of PlayStation Magazine included demo discs for current games.

These discs -also- included .wav files alongside their PS1 data, so they could be played on CD players. Usually they had 3-5 tracks on them, from the games showcased on the disc itself.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

since yoshi-p said there wasn't gonna be any new races added into the game, PLEASE revamp the character creator

there should be more customization options for all races. au ra and hrothgar should be able to freely mix and match their faces, horns, and fur

also, unlock the race starter gear

what is a quality-of-life addition you, the player, want added to the game?

I will never forgive SE for removing Power Slash instead of Souleater.

Or Dancing Edge from NIN and leaving us with... Armor Crush...
XIV community, talk to me.

Job actions, you know 'em, you love 'em, you miss 'em. From ARR, HW, SB, ShB, EW or DT, in your opinion, what time frame did your class feel perfect for you or do you think that DT is the best for your main class?

I hated working in digital marketing despite doing it for a decade.

Took a mat leave contract with a charity and found out I think giving a shit about people is important, so I'm still there.

I had a Super Nintendo, but it was the original PlayStation that did it really.

PS1 era Squaresoft stuff, like the run of Final Fantasy games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Wipeout XL, they all left a mark.
What's your "Origin Console"?

Most gamers have many favorite systems, but there's always one that basically DEFINES you.

I'm talking about the console that flipped the switch in your mind and turned you into a life-long gamer.

So, which one is it for YOU? 💫

The dumber part is they're still there. Just, on the sidebar instead of at the top of that one pane.

They didn't even turn off the feature. Filtering to categories still happens. They're just -ever so slightly- less convenient in a way that will trap a LOAD of people.

I used to have a LOT more detail in my search info.

I don't think most people even use them productively these days, and it's objectively dumb to put things like links out to websites or social media accounts, because it exposes you to GM oversight and reports.

Re-upping this. When I say casual, I mean 2-3 days a week, 2 lockouts per day.

This is, apparently, midcore, because no one agrees on what these words mean.

An action set piece video.

I have so many -ideas- for showing off how Rileck specifically fights, but I'll never actually get to the point of learning the skills needed to do it, no matter how many times I gesture at doing so.
