The Dawntrail soundtrack is on Spotify so you can now listen to Smile on repeat! Even better, just make an ultimate FF14 song playlist and pleasantly surprise people by adding a ton of duplicates of Smile and Machinations!

I played this game in 2020 where I used a galka and I think the galka look cool but I like dragoons and the main thing that bothered me was that the spear animations felt more like he was holding a greataxe with occasional stabs. I’m wanting more of where they hold the spears like they do in FF14 or maybe the way Kain holds spears. I’m fine with occasional slashes but I’d prefer it to be 99% stab attacks.

A while back I was doing a survival island playthrough where I was on Sulani, had no simoleans, off the grid and simple living lot challenges. I didn’t really know what I was doing so I decided to watch a rags to riches let’s play.

I won’t say who it was, but I watched a Cottage Living rags to riches by someone in the Creator Network because I wanted to see how others were doing it with the simple living challenge. I expected a little bit of him exploring the world or trying out Cottage Living features because it was new at the time and I’m sure he was excited, but it was insane.

The video started off where he’s talking in-depth about the simple living challenge which was fine, but a little long. Then he goes over to the market and talks about how you can get ingredients. Normally people would go “here’s something that’ll be useful later” and then get to the gameplay. But he was talking about it way too long. Then he talked about the quest board, and I don’t even remember if he even accepted a quest but spent a lot more time talking about it without actually doing anything with it.

Then some townie walked by and he paused to talk about the lore for the Cottage Living townies and went out of his way to look for another townie. Then he goes off and finds this tree stump and goes into depth about how you can befriend animals.

At this point I quit because it was about 20 minutes into the video, his character is sitting at 0 simoleans, I haven’t seen any rags to riches gameplay, and the entire thing has been him talking extensively about random Cottage Living features. It might’ve been exciting when it was brand new but it was painful to watch when it’s been out for years. It really felt like a bait and switch where I was watching a really long ad for something that’s been out for years.

Hi guys, I’m a brand new player and cannot wait to start the FF14 free trial! I’ve heard amazing things about this game, wish me luck! I’m excited to find out what’s going to happen, but I have no idea since I’m 100% brand new to this game!

Edit: Ok yes, I’ll admit I’m not literally playing for the first time. But I mean come on, obviously by the time you saw this I had already started playing.

Edit 2: Yeah ok I did start playing a little bit before making this post but 5 years isn’t that long ago! I only finished a little bit of the Dawntrail patches but I haven’t even started Evercold so obviously I’m new!

I know it sounds ironic. I love the more 3D glossy aesthetic of Frutiger Aero, especially the old IOS icons. However, when it’s just straight up Windows 7 UI and the default desktop background my brain just associates it with slow computers. But then everything else about I love and I even think the Windows 7 UI looks better than Windows 10/11. The problem is I just can’t get past that association.

You get paid $10M tax free but now every single decision you make is now controlled by Redditors. Whenever you need to make a decision you have to make a Reddit post and whatever the most upvoted response is will be what you’re forced to do. You can provide as much context as you want in the posts, but if the most upvoted comment is bad advice you would’ve ignored based on other context in your life you didn’t mention you still have to go through with it. For example, if the most upvoted comment is from an anti-car person that says you should never use a car even if it’s Uber or a rental and you take a vacation to a rural place with no buses or trains you now have to walk everywhere.

Your opinions are not affected but your behavior is. For example, if you watch a movie and really like it you now have to make a post asking how good the movie was. If the most upvoted comment says it’s bad you’ll now be unable to watch it again or barely watch it even if you love it. This also extends into political beliefs. If you end up getting a really evil response that’s upvoted the most you know have to go by what it says even if you internally disagree. Another example would be if the most voted comment says that snow no longer exists you will now act visibly surprised if you see snow even if you know it actually is real.

You are affected by comments taken literally. So any exaggerations or sarcasm without someone using /s will have full control over you as if it was fully serious.

I’ve been relic grinding and continuously running dungeons and fighting mobs to make slow progress is really wearing me down. Every time I run a dungeon I’m met with “Meowdy” or “Hello everybun uwu :3.” Everyone keeps yelling at me because I like to tank without my tank stance on or because I use lancer instead of dragoon because I don’t like the floor tank meme. Also not my fault when I play healer and only heal my girlfriend. I’m also an old school MMO player that doesn’t believe in using abilities, I like to just tab target and watch my character auto-attack. I do this all the time when I’m the tank.

Anyway I’m actually a politician with access to nukes. I’m going to hire NASA to launch a bunch of satellites to see if aliens have developed MMO’s that are less grindy. If I don’t see these alien MMO’s or aliens in general I feel like humanity should be wiped out. I know it’s probably a bad idea but every “Meowdy” makes me want to launch a ton of nukes. What should I do guys?
