“As fragmented, imperfect beings, yours is a never-ending quest. A quest to find your purpose, knowing your end is assured. To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you. To find joy, even as darkness descends... And amidst deepest despair, light everlasting.”

So thanks to the change in glam for 7.4, I’ve now got In Fulgur and Fire stuck in my due to running Vanguard on and off. With that, here’s is my #wolqotd: Your WoL gets the ability to hear the duty, region, or raid music the player hears, but only for one of those. What music do they hear?

For me, it depends on the time frame. Modern day me, it’s probably been Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-pass. High school me, Nitz from Undergrads. More so games themselves were formative vs the characters in them, like Deus Ex, Earthbound, and Command & Conquer.

Using the echo in the jail cell with Fordola.
Player aside: I’m a fan of a good redemption arc and Fordola’s is one I understand.

Feeling a bit nostalgic for Stormblood tonight, so! What was the favourite/most impactful/most moving/etc. moment to your WOL/OC during that time in their lives/that expansion, in player terms?

For me, it was probably The Great Gatsby as I read it three different times in my life: once for middle school, once for high school, and again for college and got a different aspect of it each time.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Shoutout to whichever Rockstar union member attached one of their seedlings to my bag when I wasn’t looking at the demonstration.
I’ve been delighted to have it on there ever since.

Los Alamos and U of Michigan want to build a data center in the small town of Ypsilanti. The city's people don't want to help make weapons of mass destruction. The fight is only just starting
A Small Town Is Fighting a $1.2 Billion AI Datacenter for America's Nuclear Weapon Scientists
Ypsilanti, Michigan has officially decided to fight against the construction of a 'high-performance computing facility' that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away.

PMG is one of those YouTube channels I hope more video game players watch. If you’re a fan of the people who make GTA (the actual dev people and not the company), do watch today’s video.
I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I think the one thing I’ve learned in terms of US politics is that moderates on both sides of the spectrum flourish and can only function within their respective parties at this time if there is a filibuster. If it’s gone, they’d have to break off and risk making another party to have a shot.

I’ve tried to get away from calling situations this, but I’ll write it like this for clarity: most situations are not black and white (binary), but are shades of grey (a spectrum). You don’t get the same emotion from a spectrum that you do from a binary. That’s your need for being tribal kicking in.

The core reason Luthen’s quote from Andor sticks with me is because it brings up the idea that in times of strife, you have to be willing to risk something to win, knowing full well you won’t be able to see the change you want. It’s probably why I relate to the quote more these days.

If I’m honest, I don’t think any political party in the US can truly be united. We’re too geographically dispersed to achieve that. We have too many local or even state level competing factors.
That doesn’t mean you don’t fight, but what it does mean is scale accordingly. That’s just me though.

Anyone here know much about what's going on in the academy? There was a lot of talk in the past two seasons about how the academy was closely aligned with the playing style of the first team, and thats a good and much needed thing. Has that changed now? #COYS

Here is my WoL’s faithful Chocobo companion Chocoborealis. Play on words are always fun so the name felt good. He’s strong, able to heal or tank in a pinch, can fly, and really cool with whatever barding seems fun. Always up for joining provided he gets a green.

I’ll just put it out on my main COYSky: it’s another international break and Spurs didn’t lose. I’ll take incremental progress where possible.
