ffxiv shadowbringers second dungeon spoilers
i mean you even got a chibi commission. who is it
here we go, i attended urianger's lecture and took notes, #ffxiv tag
this is WITHOUT ANY SHADOWBRINGERS SPOILERS, no twists/how characters in that setting would see it, but instead me writing down the "as you already know..." bits, plus a little of my own speculation. since this is taught as part of a basic education, this is something that our characters are very likely to know, but we ourselves aren't so likely to know, lol
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz kickstarter to hire a highly trained secret agent assassin to sneak into the square enix offices and nail yoshi-p with a gun full of tranquilizing darts before tossing him into the back of a car and kidnapping him to keep him captive at a very nice luxury spa and hotel for at least a long weekend
@polychrome LOL it's probably a bit of a coincidence of mechanics - there are certain attacks in-game where the tactic is "turn your character around to not look at it" - but either way it's great
@polychrome THAT'S THE JOY OF BRUTE JUSTICE
@wigglytuffitout I laughed so loud I think I made the neighbors worry
incidentally one of my fav ffxiv memories is when friends dragged me through Alexander, explaining mechanics along the way
but they were suspiciously quiet for Brute Justice. "no no, go in blind, it's so much better that way, it's fine we're overgeared so we can just rez you"
they were right
i promptly died laughing but it was so worth it
@polychrome LMAO IT IS, but you can get the music that you can play in your house on loop all the time
there's also Brute Justice, which is a raid fight where they parody the more Voltron end of the spectrum, and is... honestly delightful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLCWCPyxByg
you get to that point after fighting the boss rush change of all of the individual robots lol, the regular version of that theme in raids is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhDvQIqEkuI but you can probably tell how they zhuzh'd it up to be more sentai
@polychrome LOL yes, that was a limited-time summer event. unfortunately it was a one time thing and it was before i picked up the game myself
however you can still buy the emotes to learn the poses, and i shamefully admit i have them, because the black ranger pose is.... a pretty good sarcastic dab
@polychrome ah yes, you must be watching the Go Go Posing Rangers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yR6UkK6KIU
so there's your pro tip of unsolicited advice folks
if you feel like you're stuck, going "ugh, i wonder why i keep feeling so anxious/lethargic/easily distracted/easily frustrated/unable to think well/confused", and it's a psych symptom that seems to pass within hours instead of within say weeks,
write a food diary, compare it to diabetic diets, and if you can track trouble spots to something like "after i eat lunch"? yeah your blood sugar's fucking with you on some level lol
