honestly the amount of people out there who will go "idk whats going on but im going to blindly trust the posts on my timeline" is scary. i think everyone would benefit from being more willing to look into things for themselves. this situation is small peanuts but that mindset can be so -

big walk posting but I don't think you can ever hear Jumping Voices (the main theme) again after playing without thinking of the special people you shared it with and the little moments of magic you made together. it sounds like thinking about how much you love someone.

if you tend to lean forward while gaming despite yourself and are trying to play after a lower abdominal/pelvic surgery, put a large plushie or pillow in your lap to help you sit back. anything not so big it prevents you from reaching around it well will do. thank you bee pillow

when @vinalo.bsky.social and I co-healed the first few months and only one of us got comms, we'd joke about splitting them in half to share. so when I went to meet them in person for the first time, I had a little gift made with help by @kokueiai.bsky.social (he printed, I painted) #ffxiv

Photo of a set of charms representing a player commendation from FFXIV split in half, one side for each friend. It's hand-painted black with gold edges and text. The background is a red plaid fabric.

being a little guy in a great big huge ancient world is really cool actually. that's what a lot of my personal art is about and for me that's also kind of what being a lalafell in-game is about. how incredible it is to be small basking in all the world's wonder

Taking a friend who hasn't played yet through Big Walk & telling them nothing. Absolutely fascinating to see how different people navigate unknown/open spaces because they're making VERY different choices than our group did!

Big Walk game screenshot with three players trying to kick a ball lamp into a suspended receptacle very like basketball.

Went on a Big Walk with my two favorite people! #bigwalk

Big Walk game screenshot. The point-of-view player is holding a red figure walking through the woods with two other players running a little ahead, one holding another red figure and one holding a lit orb.

Big Walk game screenshot. The point-of-view player is a flashlight, sitting on a red walkway by the seaside at sunrise with two other players nearby to the right looking at them.

Big Walk game screenshot. One player holds another standing on their head; the upper player is holding up a whiteboard reading "I love you both!"

Big Walk game screenshot. A player near the viewer at the right is waving from a yellow platform to a player farther away to the left standing on a rock with a walkie-talkie. The island stretches out behind them into the distance.
