This was certainly a surprise.

Final Fantasy 14. Chat log displays the messages "You desynthesize the Archibishop." "You obtain a Cane of the Round." "You obtain a water cluster." The Archbishop is a fish. The Cane of the Round is a white mage weapon.

Was doing some leveling earlier this morning and had a laugh at "Recoome withdraws from battle." Dragon Ball Z reference.

Final Fantasy 14. Chat log mentioning "Recoome withdraws from battle." This is the name of a villain in Dragon Ball Z.

Not entirely sold on the hat yet. Everything else is staying. Also forgot how relaxing the room is for me. Disclaimer: I designed my room around lamps with no ceiling light but current screen makes it to where I can't see anything anymore.

Final Fantasy 14. My character with the job known as Bard which is a singing archer. Wearing a black hat where the brim folds upwards on the side.The brim has yellow trim. There is also a red-tipped black feather tucked away on the left fold. On her right shoulder is a crow cawing the day away. She's dressed like an archer by going thick white shirt with left shoulder covered by a brown leather shoulder pad. Around the shirt is like a dark brown leather corset and underneath the corset is several dark brown rectangular leather strips all linked together to provide more protection. I do not know if what I just described has an actual name. Please forgive. The sleeves are tucked into leather gloves. Her left glove is black with a grey-metal bracer with a light-yellow colored trim fastened to it with brown leather. Right glove is completely brown leather with metal studs around the base of the glove. She is wearing black pants. The right leg has what looks like a brown leather belt/strap wrapping around upper thigh and another strap just above the right knee. Left leg mirrors the strap just above the knee. She is wearing brown leather boots that stop just below the knee. The leather boots have greaves that are fastened to them and only offer protection to the front of the shins and bend enough to also cover the top half of foot closest to ankle. The greaves are metal-grey with light-yellow trim just like the glove. The boot also has a metal grey heel to protect the heel. She's holding a longbow made of wood with metal bits around the wood. The bow is has metal metal corners/ends which is how the bow string is connected. The bow has two yellow feathers attached to it.

I have been loathing team scrip gear since I started actually being forced to think (I despise crafting). Worst experiment I've done (purposely going into EverCold with scrip gear instead of max crafted/melded/bedazzled). Anyways fk this relic.

Final Fantasy 14. A crafting simulator showing my stats, my actions used, as well as items used. Nothing fancy about this except making the item hard requires max quality and will blow up if it is not max quality.

Put this on just to see and easily went "Oh fuck yes" over this outfit. The hat is not part of it.

Final Fantasy 14. My character in the "Tradewinds" outfit which has pants that poof until below the knee and gets tucked in, shoes with a buckle, kinda poofy shirt with a vest over and a belt that holds it all together. My character is holding a map and compass.

Run 3 complete. Omega fell apart. Shinryu was annoying and forced me to level up so I came back at 49 and finally got the luck I needed to win. Almost fell apart at Neo Exdeath at the end because my berserker did a no-no and forced the final phase early after I Magic Lamped some body parts away.

Omega was permanently stopped thanks to Romeo's Ballad and we gave him the axe.

Shinryu showed mercy on Krile. She is equipped with the Apollo's Harp which was dealing around above 7000 which is a very big deal. Bartz and Lenna suffered his wrath and Faris was too angry to die.

Neo Exdeath was very under control and until it went down to one part and then my team got buried in meatballs (that's what I call the Meteor spell).

How it started and how it ended. This wouldn't have happened if my employers were OSHA compliant.

The video game is Crashout Crew. I'm on the receiving side of shipments and I placed a boost pad which launches players and objects in the direction it is facing. Everything is nice and calm.

The video game is still Crashout Crew. I placed more boost pads, one of which is covered up by an explosion, there is toxic sludge everywhere which we dubbed "Mountain Dew" and only one truck was loaded up correctly in shipping. I am blameless.

Oh. My first time actually seeing these. Legit thought I got a friend request from someone being weird/creep ass.

Final Fantasy 14 strategy board meant to show strats in a visual manner to help facilitate playing the game when there can be difficulties in being verbal or through text. Bottom right corner someone created a hand that is pointing with the text "Kill that guy" at a evil purple demon face with an arrow pointing at him with additional text "(That guy)". The strategy is titled "Flawless Tactic".

Onsen Run defeated. Just ran at Omega and he malfunctioned. Swirled the danger noodle known as Shinryu. Put Neo Exdeath under the surf with Leviathan as I sang my best songs. First time actually using beastmaster and it's kinda fun. Very funny to use a goblin to cast flare at the antlion boss.

Omega defeated with the amazing power of Romeo's Ballad. Just Stop it from doing anything!

Shinryu berserked from the Mammon tree enemy and blinded from the Galajelly enemy. I probably could have prepped them forever ago but suffered over an hour just to find them because they're together in a rare encounter. Oh well.

Neo Exdeath defeated. Used the Magic Lamp for Odin to remove bottom left portion. Spammed Catoblepas to remove bottom right. Berserker caused the team to get hit by meatballs but it was perfectly spread so everyone lived through it.

Shinryu and Neo Exdeath defeated.

Neo Shinryu defeated with the amazing powers of Time Mage smacking him with a Power Staff granting the berserk status and everyone using the !Image Ninja command.

Neo Exdeath defeated with a part spamming Break to get out of Almagest so I can actually play the boss fight. Things got spicy when a berserked Barts crit and defeated a body part early but thankfully Neo didn't take any extra turns.

When I was a kid there was this series of books called "What on Earth?" and I had so many giggles over "What on Earth is a Booby?"

A book titled "What on Earth is a Booby" that I read when I was an elementary school child. I read it because it had "booby" in the title and I knew what those were and gained education I lost about booby birds and the Galapogos Islands.

Wanted something that felt suited for expeditions and I think I nailed the look I was going for.

Final Fantasy 14. Outfit I came up with for the Red Mage job that's armored in the legs and shoulder with chest having some bulk/padding as well. Idea was "expedition" because I wanted something that felt like a class/job in a dungeon crawler.

You can take pics of them outside but for reasons I don't understand I can't do anything with them in gpose because they have some Programmer Classification that makes them not typical NPCs. As far as I'm aware inside pics are from the Retainer Bell, cheaty plugins, or Fantasia with another player.

My character in a yellow outfit with pink trimming showing off my retainer in a "ta-da!" fashion who just happened to blink at the right time and gives the impression of looking annoyed and unamused.

This post gave me the idea to make the Fraudster Ball. With all the funny rumors circulating at the time I feel like a counterfeit ball is something that could have easily existed in-game as a Team Rocket operation. F stands for First-Rate don't you know? This ball will catch anything without Fail.

My take on a counterfeit ball I have dubbed the Fraudster Ball. Stylized after the master ball. This would not exist in the modern era but this absolutely could exist in the Red/Blue/Yellow era of Pokemon.

The deed is done. Everything is maxed. My gear is not and I do not care. I will put myself at the minimum and see how the pipeline is in EverColdQuest. Very much wish I could see how the jobs would play in the future right now because I'm curious how Monk and Samurai would be. Have ideas though.

I am truly a creature if I do not get filtered. Moai-kun is a Famicom puzzle game that requires execution. I really enjoyed it1 Disclaimer: Screenshot is from the 14s.

A player created greeting message I attached to a sign in Final Fantasy 14. It reads "Pay respects to Moai-kun and then feel free to cat around." The Free Company has a gigantic Moai and enough perches to get on top of the roof. Truly can cat around.
