Another attempt at playing with #warframecaptura . Came out pretty well I think. Surprising how much a difference a tiny sprinkling of film grain makes.

#warframe
A screenshot from warframe of Nidus mid stomp, looking to have an aggressive stance as if preparing to strike at something in front of him, his right arm brought back while orange-ish sparks flow in the air around him. He's standing in a long sci-fi like hallway with a sign on the wall behind his head. There are various orange glows and streaks running through his body, with two energy wings protruding from his back and streaking orange glows from around his face.

Welcome. Perhaps you can stay for a...bite.

(Tried playing with the new in-game chromatic aberration on top of a shader and think it came out pretty well)

#FFXIV | #Elezen | #GPOSERS
A screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV depicting a male Elezen standing with his left arm behind his back and his right arm outstretched to the side. He has a somewhat menacing grin while light reflects off of the red-lenses of his glasses. He's standing on a stone pathway towards a large castle floating ominously in the background amidst a grey cloudy sky. There are small, bat-like shapes floating around him, with one past his outstretched hand and one in the foreground in front of him. He is wearing a long black robe with red trim and white ruffles at the neck and collar. There's a red crystal hanging off the belt on his right hip.

Captura system in Warframe is very clunky, especially compared to gpose, but can still manage a few things with it.
Screenshot from Warframe depicting the frame Ember Prime (in the heirloom skin) standing with her arms crossed over her chest with a distant moon visible over her shoulders and past her wings. There's a bright pink flaming aura flowing off of her body, with parts of her non-armored form glowing that same pink.

Hrothgar make steak
A screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV showing a male hrothgar with dark fur holding a large slab of cooked steak in his right hand up in the air triumphantly, head thrown back in a cheerful shout. There's a large, expansive mountain range behind him

Chains beaten, at least as far as combat goes. I now have to wait a whole 24 real-ass hours before I can get the epilogue because the final part apparently only unlocks at midnight JP time.

Well, I've beaten FF11.

Okay not really, just Rhapsodies of Vanadiel. Still need to finish Chains, Treasures, Wings and Seekers and the epilogue stuff in between. Holy shit RoV's final boss was rough...until I read up the thing about it's eyes and then it became a cakewalk.

Well, after an ungodly amount of time and who knows how many distractions and diversions, I finally have my first max level character in FF11. Well..."max level" considering job points and merit points that need grinding.

And now that I have ilvl 119 armor, I feel almost unstoppable goddamn.
A screenshot from Final Fantasy 11 depicting a male Elvaan wearing an armored blue and orange tabard with silver metal plating around the shoulders and collar bone, gauntlets with metal plating on the back of the hands and metal plated greaves. He's sitting in a fancy wooden chair with his right leg crossed over the left and his hands clasped together above his leg. He is in the midst of a sewer with wooden fencing along the platform. Behind him are several other 'illusionary' character avatars. Some are abscured behind his head. THe one visible nameplate is for Teodor to viewer right

Okay yeah, point are definitely weighted. Guessing determined by both level and difficulty? The second roulette I got off bonus was LotA and that was around 374 points after I mathed the difference. Will need to see if the bonus significantly makes up the difference with the lower level ones.
Screenshot from twitter of user Hizumara (@xHizumara) asking "Roughly how mujch is alliance giving per run? was thinking about doing that first but have been alternating between trial/raid" of Mr Happy (@MrHappy1227) who answered "lowest is Sycrus tower at 350ish. Paradigms breach is the most at 999. both without bonus"

Another test run, this time normal raids without bonus. 226 points. Running with the assumption the level of the content weighs the points you get in some way (run with bonus was level 90 content). Will mark down my results so far and come back to this tomorrow after reset
Cropped screenshot from Final Fantasy 14 depicting what is labeled the "Aetherell Array". 4 orbs in the cardinal directions of a larger cryptic-looking circle. Each orb has a number under it indicating the amount of energy poured into it so far. In order from north-south-east-west, the numbers read 769/10000, 970/10000, 1228/10000, 782/10000

For those reaching the light grind step of the relic: Take your time with it. Yoshi P warned that taking it casually would be easier and here's proof to that. First pic (left) is just after the daily bonus. 2nd pic is after re-running alliance raids without the daily bonus. Barely 400 points.

Somehow this slipped by unnoticed in Yoshi P's message and I think would alleviate a lot of fears from over the last 24 hours
Screenshot taken from the end of the message recently released on the ff14 lodestone about mods. The text reads: (And one more thing: for those wondering what comes after the Japan Fan Fest...while I can't give any details just yet, rest assured you won't have to wait long.)

...Apparently people have started review bombing 14 on steam over this and you're not only demonstrating in real time *why* this happened, but proving that some of y'all don't have a healthy relationship with the game and absolutely need to go do something else for the sake of your own mental health

More FF11: From leveling the "Great Katana" combat skill on SAM, I got a quest to unlock a new attack. Looking it up, I have to earn 300 points through skillchains and the only way I'll know I've done it is when the weapon I was given loses its stats. I've been at this for several days now...

The Hunt

(Version 2! Should hopefully fix the weird crunchiness with the image, and here's a bonus one to go with it because I love this armor combo a lot)

#FFXIV | #GPOSERS | #Elezen
A screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV depicting a male Elezen with tan skin and black hair with a black goatee. He's leaping in the air, slightly twisting his body and using his left arm to stab forward with a simple lance. His right arm is in the air back behind him. He's in the midst of a partially flooded forest that is engulfed in flames. He is wearing a brown scaled breast plate with black leather padding and straps going down the sides of his bust and strapping things in place along his waist, as well as brown shoulder guards (the left has a black layer on top of it) and hip guards. He's wearing finger-less brown leather gloves with forearm straps and thick protective leather gover over the back of his hand up to his elbow. Below that is a pair of black leather pants that are protected at the thighs by black metal greaves that go down to his feet. The lance in his left hand is simple with a wooden haft and a simple halberd-like tip. A screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV depicting a male Elezen with tan skin and black hair with a black goatee.

I'm very *very* frequently reminded of this tweet.
Screenshot of a tweet made by the user @qtrcirclejab (screen name JAB (box) Nophica's favorite). Tweet says "the reason FFXIV twitter is so toxic is that the game let a bunch of antisocial, terminally unfunny ppl make Extremely Beautiful Characters through which they cultivated a false sense of Mean Girls energy, and now they're living the revenge fantasies they've had since high school" Tweet was posted April 7th, 2022 at 1:34 pm

Still messing with FF11 off and on and while it's got some things I really wish 14 could implement (Like the ability to "glam" any gear on any job as shown by this screenshot of my Nin wearing Drk artifact armor), hoo boy are there so many systems that are just not fun compared to modern MMOs
Screenshot from Final Fantasy XI depicting a male Elvaan standing with his right foot forward in a large, open cave with various people milling about. He is wearing heavy plated armor with a horned helmet with two katanas hanging from his waist. His nameplate, "Leoyaux" is above his head.

And for a small peak behind the curtain, was a bit of a pain because the fog from the doorway would randomly block out the light sources, so it was a combination of timing it so it could get *some* light and also get some of that purple energy whipping about in the shot
Screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV of the dungeon "Smileton" from endwalker. Depicting a series of blue and white buildings all connecting and built together like an MC Escher-style archetecture. Centered in the shot is a male viera character standing in a fog cloud pouring out of a doorway holding a large scythe.

ON the right there is a silver broach with black feathers and a dark colored jewel. He also has on a pair of rimless glasses with thin lenses

At last, the bard artifact fit is properly complete for Avy.

Started playing around with Avy as a Viera again. He'll likely go back to hroth at some point, but been enjoying exploring different glams with him again.

On his hands are a set of metalic knuckles with a grey, moon-shaped glyph over the back of his hands. On his right wrist is a silver bracelet fitted with red and blue gems. In the background behind him is a blurred image of an Eastern wall hanging slightly obscured by a rushing waterfall display pouring into planters.
