I like to work on space hardware. For fun I enjoy iRacing and Final Fantasy (XIV lately). I also track my 2003 Bugeye STi Wagon.
First time I've managed to get in a group and clear Heaven On High (アメノミハシラ). That was an absolute blast. We had a few close calls, but it all worked out. Floors 21-100 took just over three hours. Now just Eureka Orthos left.

8 clears of Pilgrim's Traverse for the silly mount and all the accessories. Now I have to solo run it some time... And somehow do q40 which will be harder.

Pilgrim's Traverse is finally through floor 100. Now to see if I'll do the Quantum 40 thing.

I love the silliest parts of this game. Busy day with patch content. Got to level 50 of new deep dungeon. I'll need to learn the new extreme at some point soon.

Long term goal I didn't actually expect to finish is complete. I needed a LONG block of time and a party to form when I had it, but I've now completed Palace of the Dead. We were completely carried by the tank, but it was worth it.

While I'm on a kick for updating silly FFXIV things, this was a very lucky drop from the latest extreme.

Finally cleared floor 100 of Palace of the Dead. It's not all that hard except finding the time and a party wanting to do it. This has been a long term goal. Now to eventually finish a final floor on any of the deep dungeons.

This was a silly grind to finally get done.

I've been to the Federal Way Katsu Burger a few times, but this is the first time I noticed the Yomiuri Giants towel. I just needed to share here.

I decided to try a merc group so I could get all the loot from M7S without continuously hitting enrage or spending weeks. That worked well, so now I just need to get M8S done to finish tier and get the weapon. I'm not much of a fan of the glam, but I'll use it for a bit longer after all the work.

Ugh, it feels so much hotter too.

I've probably been on new Crescent Island too much but first relic weapon and full left side artifact armor received. The atma grind was annoying, but I'm starting to think the currency on the island is worse...
