warning: the minigame is mandatory, and if the fridge is very beyond capacity you will have to play fridge jenga every time you so much as open the door of the fridge

this computer hooked up to a tv n so I did not have the option of switching back to keyboard + mouse (and the charger is so small I had to STAND) and because of the AAAAA I kept mixing up the directional and main buttons... i swear I know how to play ast please you gotta believe m

today's been a day I have been severely missing my cuddle buddy

I'm so curious, in what ways does he suck??

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

these were made with the thought of them being a slow collaborative effort but im a maniac and want to kit out all my subs. right neowwww. and that requires a million billion cobalt ingots and also mythrite ingots which I don't wanna buy bc I'm a cheapskate but they take sooo long to gather mats for

replaying shb and mostly cutscene skipping but tuning in now n then. seto is still very sweet and eulmore remains fucked up (complimentary). take a shower stinky

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

omg really??? I'm so curious that's so cute. I don't trust alphy to heal me when im tanking bc I think he prioritizes alisaie (ive also joked before that alisaie single targets when fighting so she sees herself at the top of the enmity list lmao)

000

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

also alisaie ilu but learn how to use aoe attacks

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

.....i think the character ai used in holminsters switch is ..... worse? everyone did not get out of the way of a bear cone aoe and also. somehow. alisaie ate shit and died to the first boss. girl dodge

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

see i do understand that, but im also baffled because clearly there's some activity there if they manage to have any queue at all at 3am, right??

000

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

(like, not a BIG login queue, but it will be 3am and aether has absolutely no one in queue vs raff with 12 ppl)

010

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

idk why dyna duty queues are so slow, I waited 20 min to get into shinryu As Healer at a reasonable time of night (est time was "5 minutes") and it still didn't go. so I went over to aether and tried again and got in within 3 minutes 🤷‍♀️ dyna has had more of a login queue lately tho, shockingly

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

i didn't even have the button on my hotbar on ast lmaoooo I need to put it there yet apparently

000

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

also damn I did not remember ala mhigo (the dungeon) at ALL. at all!!!! i remember doma castle idk why I didn't for this i also kinda forgot shinryu but it's ok so did my party lmao. me n the other healer died but a red mage raised me and I got to healer lb3 which is always fun

120

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

ooooh raubahn as DPS in ala mhigo? arenvald tank <3... oooh and j'moldva is in skalla? wrow i did not catch their unique dialogues bc I was playing with controller on my bed (too far away to read text) but im delighted they were there regardless

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

i do not like zenos but the thing is he's a freak and he would be on board with this also I think. as long as he got to swing his sword around while he was getting eaten and call it a battle he'd be having a blast

000

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

i think shinryu should have chomped zenos up between its massive teeth into a million teeny bits and broken every bone in that man's body

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

god fr, it fucking sucks. the one tech job I kept down longer was so full of conservative white men that it was just. so painful. (and I know I had it easier than I would have otherwise bc I'm white too, but as the one token "woman"/queer it was so.... ugh) which is to say good luck out there mei

020

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

also finally started playing ast a bit since the card changes back whenever that happened and y'know I understand why ppl miss the randomness but I do enjoy the cards' effects being more varied now, I think it's neat

010

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

the thing is (and I have said this before) that I am either in a mood to read Or to do content. and if I wanna do content I don't wanna have to read and if I wanna read I don't wanna be slowed down by content

010

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

was trying to pay more attention during a second run thru of msq but I finally decided fuck it we ball (don't read) and now I'm making progress after Years Of Not, yay

020

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

yeah last i played a couple days ago (I left off uhhh level 28-29 I think?) I honestly just ended up summoning a gigantoad and spamming the water type command thingy (instant cast ranged hell yeah) but im like . maybe I read the tooltips wrong??? i get a buff after doing the combos Sometimes idfk

000

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

im too sleeby to have the brainspace to really comprehend rn but I will just say. i also(?) was getting so confused on if my bst combos were actually triggering properly

110

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

anyway I wanna find a group of friends to run dungeons together. Oops All Beasts, synced, I think it'd be fun

230

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

beastmaster is fun but tbh i think it'll be more fun once the hype has calmed down a bit lmao, it's kinda difficult to tame da beasts when there's ten people and four individual mobs (which are not guaranteed to be tamed)

also estinien is very quick to lb and I find it funny. the second boss of the aery he frequently starts to lb but then cancels to do a mechanic and the first time I noticed this it took him 3 tries to actually fully lb. hilarious

000

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

there's like two pulls I tend to die to, which are definitely doable but the temple chirurgeon is so. SLOW. and also like... the NPCs in duty support are all definitely min level? i suspect their gear is also like. idk if min ilvl but it's def not like players would be

100

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

unfortunately I'm very impatient with queue. like honestly I should tank for ppl, the aery does not have squadrons and those pulls would DEFINITELY be easier with a real healer, but so far I have been impatient and just duty supporting it

110

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I'm grinding alt classes. sohm al takes around 18 minutes with duty support, queuing as DPS took about 10 minutes + the actual run took 14, running with squadron takes 12-14 depending if im tanking or not

pspsps square you want to add more dungeons to squadrons pspspsps

blue mage continues to be hilarious btw. i thought oh, sure, i'll try fighting gogo without looking up a guide how hard could it be (immediately gets one hit KO'ed while silly jaunty music plays :) ) hmm. lmao? hm. huh. mhm. i see .

like, i love her. i love her pacifism. it feels weird to have her in sohm al though because it was NOT made with that in mind

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

i love that ysayle is a tank. but. i wish she were better at it* *i think it's just because it's sohm al and the npcs think they need to pop all the drakespur pollen clusters and they DONT

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

dialect quizzes are hard though bc sometimes the answer I think is correct is not the one I actually say and then i confuse myself. like I think almonds would be all-monds but in casual conversation? i really do not enunciate the L

the area of grass between the sidewalk and the road is the boulevard and I have never seen that as an option. a large heavy blanket could be a comforter or a duvet I guess- a quilt is a TYPE of large heavy blanket but it's its own thing I think. .... do pacific northwesterners use "pop"??

fascinating. incorrect, but fascinating

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

tanking is pretty fun actually it's most of what I've done to learn controller xiv so far. i think. i am actually pretty good at it. at least in dungeons

merry ⚖️ @merryknight.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

im still leveling drk and it's only now to 54 so like I don't have many skills Yet, but sometimes I try to be smart and set up hotbars with all the skills so it'll make sense when I do get them. you know . because otherwise you end up with a Hot Mess
