Okay, I am eating my words. When the queues popped, I was 227 in line. That's insanely lucky. My birthday is 7/22. Lucky numbers. 😄 Was able to secure tickets for my friends, including someone who wasn't able to get one last time.
I did not get a code. I never win these things. Seriously, my luck is horrible, and I was honestly anticipating this outcome. But... I am once again able to go due to the generosity and kindness of my friends (who are far luckier than I am). I am so grateful... 😭

A friend of mine printed this. After seeing it, I demanded that he make me one... so he gave me this one and told me he'd print another. It's a train whistle. Only one person I showed understood the joke. I hope the internet at large will not disappoint.

I completed the entirety of the new Deep Dungeon "blind" with a group of friends. It was really fun! Without saying spoilers, I think adding more checkpoints was a good tradeoff for increased boss mechanical complexity. The final boss was especially a real joy to figure out.

I've been wondering if my synesthesia (ND brain) makes me better at singing things perfectly on key from memory without having to hear the pitch first... I don't have "perfect pitch" (my ability to identify notes/chords by sound isn't perfect), but songs are perfectly preserved.

Needing to formally apply to statics full of strangers for the first time in my 15+ years of playing FFXIV has been stressing me out hard. It's been looming over me since my static decided to disband.

I miss the days when I could just launch and play a game without having to wait for shaders to compile. 😠🧓🪦

Took this picture today after seeing a screenshot of someone calling someone else a "rainbow hair woke bitch" in an online chat. Then I thought... Wait... *I* am a rainbow hair woke bitch. 🤷 But I'm also old, tired and don't engage with rage bait.

If the events over the past few days have taught me anything... it's that there's such an overwhelming amount of misinformation, rage baiting, bad-faith quotations and villainization (on all sides of disagreements) that I really just don't know if social media is for me anymore.

Okay, first: murder is never, ever okay, under any circumstances. I don't condone it.
Second: I'm really REALLY uncomfortable with how the aftermath is playing out. The division is really starting to scare me.

I really hope the students who witnessed that are being provided with mental health assistance/counseling or some sort of trauma therapy through the school where it happened. That's something that stays with you.

Hey Warriors of Light! I have made a full set of Elpis robes for @desertbus.org ‘s Craft a Long. I asked Yoshi P to sign the mask for it (original 3D model by @dangerousladies.ca ) so keep your eye out for it :)

If SE started releasing cash shop standalone "hand" gear that was just arm tattoos at like $5 a pop, they'd make a lot of money. The problem with this set (though I love that it exists in general) is that the tattoos are necessarily attached to the leather bands.

Sphene’s grimoire is called "Melodies of Life" (FFIX theme) and the pages shown when she's in her battle stance look like parts of the song’s sheet music. 😭
