very infrequent posts, mostly XIV ranting, rarely screenshots.

well, if this does burn down I'll be around on Discord and probably Cohost if anything, maybe mastodon. I'm... hesitant about bluesky, Jack did an awful job here, I don't see any reason to give him a second shot.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

truth be told I liked the fight quite a bit but I am very tried and I'll be glad to be taking a break once we finish reclears.

freedom

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

more or less done decorating (I've got a couple basement storage rooms to fill out eventually but w/e) if y'all want to check it out my house is in Mist Subdivision, Ward 28, Plot 32

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

@TheGayViera as much as I complained about the stupid windmill shadow I actually really like the goblet as a whole, it has a good balance of neighborhood areas vs comfortably isolated houses as well.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

once I get it more properly decorated I'll open it up, will probably happen on my weekend or something? idk.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

I have escaped the Goblet Windmill Hell and have returned home to Mist, I'm so glad but I spend half the week not on Primal because of raid lmfao

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

yo, I'm doin' fine here, I recently built a new computer and have been busy with Blender and Cyberpunk lately. Raid tier went pretty okay, been more or less raidlogging since I finished it though.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

it feels even more inappropriate that it is a job quest thing considering the characters involved as well, this is stuff that probably should have been in 5.5 or .55- not relegated to a job capstone that only has the most tenuous relation to the job as possible.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

once again malding about the SMN 80 Job Quest

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

I don't have a problem with the content in and of itself, my problem is that it completely backseats the job aspect to retell a vignette published on the website...

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

ShB and what we've got of EW so far are absolutely amazing.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

ShB = EW > HW >>> ARR > SB
Stormblood had some neat stuff like Ivalice and Ultimates but it also had Eureka and a bunch of really awful fights (Lakshmi, Four Lords, all of Alphascape except Chaos) and I'll never forgive how they disrespected M'naago.

So I’m curious how all of you would rank the XIV expansions now that the dust has settled and we’ve had some time away from EW’s release. (No wrong answers of course!)

For me, it’s: HW > EW 6.1 > ShB = SB > ARR > EW

(6.1 is so dear to me, it gets a separate place on the list)

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

ARR has improved but there are still some REALLY bad spots (Garuda Crystal Hunt is worse than un-nerfed Titan Leadup ever was), HW is really good but set an unfortunate precedent for post patch content for .1-.3 being a lesser rehash of the .0 msq

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

in unrelated news I've changed my mind about moving again because I forgot decorating medium houses is fucking impossible lmfao, I spent hours messing around in makeplace and just got more and more frustrated with the constraints of a medium house.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

like ultimates up until now have kinda felt like a little kid playing pretend feel, no real throughline, just straight riffing on a subject/topic that they think is cool and having fun with it. I dunno, that's the best I got.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm really not vibing with the DSW's set-dressing, like, at all. I can't really articulate what exactly is bothering me about it short of a vague notion that it feels too serious/solemn?

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

ultra-rare-non-degenerate screenshot time. Going to try to put more time into both Sage and Gunbreaker, they both slap so much.

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

still mourning Aero 3...

[Limonade @LimonadeFFXIV]

24 man slaps really hard, I had to run it a bunch last week and loved every run.
