Ocean Fishing being confirmed for the base 7.5 patch literally like quadrupled the amount of stuff I'm expecting to be doing on patch launch lmao

This is exactly the image that appears in my head when i tell someone to "get that fucking guy"

I feel like "don't create a simulacrum of yourself and try to assign it your work" is a story with a history that well pre-dates most modern technology, too

I don't even think you can call what's happening in my neighborhood "gentrification" at this point. We've gone way beyond that point. There was a fucking Bentley parked on my street today???

My rent........... it's already so high........

As far as I can tell, so far it's pretty much all stuff you can still see today (even the jokes about what people shout in chat if you play on a populated server- I'm on Bahamut which I think is actually currently congested and not allowing new characters lmao)

Ah, yeah. That's... that's more typical... haha...

Leo pointing meme

A valid reason to play FFXI is that you can do the Vanadiel raids in FFXIV and spend the entire time like this.

bumper sticker for the ffxiv player in your life who reached level 80 in fisher before even finishing ARR. i mean uh, who would do that? definitely not me.

I don't like Sidurgu

I leveled DRK past 80 entirely through PvP and wondrous tails hand-ins so I could do the entire questline in a big marathon session because I heard it was really good and I wanted to experience the whole thing without pointless interruption.

Verdict: worth it

Actually I've decided to leave this on forever.

I really like my WoL's face when she's lookin kinda evil, and I wish that happened a bit more. Before this questline it was basically just that one time with Zenos!

Screenshot of Fray and my WoL having a very serious discussion at night. I am wearing bright orange hi-vis gear.

Finally doing the Dark Knight questline, and 1. This is real fucked up and fun but also 2. Perhaps I should change out of my OSHA-compliant excavation PPE for these cutscenes.

I didn't do the epilogue quests because I looked at what they entail and decided it was too annoying to deal with right now lmao. Do this quest 11 times and then wait until Japanese midnight. I don't think that's a task for on-stream.

Literally I was prepped for a 3-4 hour session (I had coffee with me etc) and uh, nope. 90 minutes. I did fail a battle though because I let an NPC die.

I thought.... there was more left!

Treasures of Aht Urhgan final verdict:
Zone design: 7/10
Story: 8/10
Music: 9/10
Characters: 10/10

I very much enjoyed not being forced to do lengthy escort missions in the final zone (CoP <_<)... but I am a bit disappointed that there's functionally no "final zone" instead.

Live! What will the future bring us? Will Naja do something comically abusive?

Planning to play more FFXI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan tonight! There are still 2 (I think) mandatory in-game-day waits before the end... can I push through at least one of them tonight?? I will find out at 7:30 PM EST!

Man I don't think there's a single piece of content in FFXIV that feels more difficult to get into with my weird and rigid work schedule than Forked Tower. Really need to knuckle down and try to actually get into some prog groups...

Trying to meet urgent work deadlines which depend 100% on other people reviewing documents for me has me feeling
