Final Fantasy XIV rubs me the wrong way in a way I've never been able to understand. Which is odd, since I'm a big Final Fantasy and online RPG fan.
@pitohui.org joins me in a (hopefully) series of podcasts to find some closure after over a decade of frustration.

Took like 26 levels and most this year since I slowed down a lot on Horizon but finally got new DRK armor.
If you get best in slot at 45, you're just a huge gap until 71.

Good to see some more positive Mighty No.9 coverage. Still one of my favorite games from IntiCreates.

Weirdly enough I was working at Wendys and a woman came in and opened her shirt at the register and out came a bird.
She made the shush motion, laughed, and put it back in then ordered her food.

A huge part of my therapy lately has been trying to remove self guilt and creating false external pressures to push forward.
If you've struggled with this before, what do you think were the best ways to help adapt your motivation?

As much as I try to numb it, it's so hard to push through the endless rejection letters.
I appreciate getting any response at all, but it's also deflating.

A friend linked me this because of how I look at games. and I kind of felt like "that's about right," and moved on.
What I overlooked in that process was that this perspective may not be as apparent to others. So I wanted to share it to help if you struggle to resonate with this view.

I'm starting to get texts about this now so I guess I need to say something:
There is a fundraiser going around about a "preservation disaster" raising money right now that I highly advise you to stay very far away from. A particular British tabloid is running with it unquestioningly. Thread:

TL:DR I'm moving away from schedule monthly podcasts to give myself flexibility and trying avoid mental health problems I've had in the past.
Content will likely still be very similar in topic and presentation.
