(Given the sheer number of permutations on the same strategy I've seen, I'm not convinced of the latter)

Surprised by FFXIV players' willingness to put up with inc. cognitive load on the newest EX all bc one strat released 1st, despite many superior solutions.

Herd mentality superceding the path of least resistance, or is "least resistance" in this case getting 7 other people to agree on strategy?

Finally got my hands on a 5090 just in time to use it for such graphically intensive gaming as finishing my FFXIV PvP series grind and vegging out with Dave the Diver

Wrapping GDC a little earlier than usual but my voice definitely needs it 😂 So many great conversations this year. Time for some rest and reflection, and then a whole bunch of follow-ups!

The trip to #GDC is officially underway. Can't wait to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones!

How did I miss this one?? The terrors I might've wrought!

Still tentative, but leaning strongly towards yes.

I can't speak much to crafting as it's a bit out of my purview (and tbh, I don't craft much even in the best implementations) but our community team is great with feedback, so I definitely recommend sharing your thoughts on the forums or reddit. Steven is pretty directly engaged with reddit, too!

Yes but I'm also hyper conscious of it making me sound manic 😅 (which is why I default to emojis as punctuation like a proper elder millennial).

Still, I'll take ending with a period over the boomer-ellipses that always makes me feel on edge.

Bluer skies, fresher air ... migration feels like the right call.

I'm Adam, an MMO designer. I've been a fan of the genre since Kunark days, and have stories and memories to share from every major title.

I don't post much (maybe that changes here), but happy to connect with other gamers and devs!
