ffxiv lukewarm take 

@Galuade@snouts.online you're absolutely right and should say it

i mean, stuff on mogstation still grates. but it's cosmetic or what i consider fair shortcuts (the level boosts) so i can grit my teeth and get over it.

but it means they can actually let the game be a good game. the level of difference now is really obvious in mmorpgs about which are made to be good games and which are made to be money traps. and seeing one go from one to the other is heartbreaking (RIP the secret world).

re: braces, pain - 

@aCuteLittleBox@fedi.lynnesbian.space if y'all are worried about overdose, honestly, chuck the tylenol in the bin - it's probably the most dangerous over the counter drug anyone can buy, and can cause liver damage. ibuprophen is a lot safer than acetomenaphen in that regard - you can take a lot more of it before you get to danger level, whereas the gap between "dose that works" and "dose that is dangerous" is really small for tylenol.

in the meantime, cold drinks might help!

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz IT'S SUCH A GOOD SET. and i am so so so happy it dyes SO well, and i LOVE the black AND white tattoos SO MUCH.

also i'm convinced that they must have done some polygonal smoothing or something because my character's tits have never looked better and it's just fantastic

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz it really does which is why as a caster main i'm spluttering at it all WAIT NO! GIMME MY ROBE BACK! PLS

(but the ravel dungeon set is so good that i forgive s-e for all outfit sins for like... the next 2 years, and this isn't bad honestly)

re: braces, pain - 

@aCuteLittleBox@fedi.lynnesbian.space tylenol and ibuprophen are safe to take together, and tylenol doesn't do too much for swelling, so maybe try taking some advil too :) caffeine also helps them work better so having it with a cup of coffee might be worth a shot!

i remember the real trick was to get it on board before the adjustment, but it was a real pain in the... well, a real pain in the teeth, lol. i hope y'all get to feeling better soon!

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz i'm gonna hope that if you put the healer gown on not-an-infant-potato it looks less like a christening gown. maybe.

but also melee definitely stole caster's robe and that's why caster looks so put off about it

braces, pain - 

@aCuteLittleBox@fedi.lynnesbian.space as someone just passing by: ah fuck, i remember my time in braces with absolute loathing. that definitely happens.

top tip that you've likely already heard but just in case you haven't: taking an over the counter NSAID like ibuprophen before going in for an adjustment is a godsend. all the pain is swelling basically and since there's not much space it means bad pain time. strapping an ice pack to your face can also help, if you don't mind looking a bit silly.

good news: up before noon

bad news: because AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online well i know what i'm definitely calling that set of apocrypha now

spammer: join the MRA don't marry movement!!!

me: buddy, my dude, my pal, i can guaran-fucking-tee that you will never be faced with such troubles in your life. nobody is going to want to marry your whole mess lol. you are like the last man in the world who has taken a solemn vow of celibacy, or someone pledging to never eat dodo meat. you ain't gotta do that. you're ahead of the game.

/listen i know they'll never see but you gotta laugh at this shit right

i would say an opinion here about R.E.M. is very overrated, however, as i live and was born in athens, this is punishable by exile, so i cannot take such a risk

b-52s are same but at least everyone kinda hates rock lobster so you can get away with a cheeky comment here and there

There's a lot of legitimately good media out there that should make you run from cishet dudes if cited as one of their favorites.

re: perhaps a hot take but i consider it more like lukewarm at best 

@InspectorCaracal yeah i think a lot of it is people being mad at remembering pokemon is a game franchise meant for kids to enjoy because they are selling it to kids

a lot of it is the exact same anger i saw against the new star wars movies lmao. people who think new people enjoying a thing in a different way diminishes how they enjoyed the thing. extremely silly and tiring lol

re: perhaps a hot take but i consider it more like lukewarm at best 

@InspectorCaracal oh yeah.

i mean i feel like i'm the one person on the planet who's just... not terribly upset about it, and still quite excited about sword/shield

i mean i can't remember all of the 800+ little fuckers, fair dues on the game for the same tbh

like it's fine. it's fine! don't go harassing people about it, don't go on crusades lmao. and yet people are still banging on about it in utter fury for some reason

perhaps a hot take but i consider it more like lukewarm at best 

i realize it's not an ideal thing but it's also not the literal end of the fucking world. you can have cherished memories of a franchise and *also* know that it has been, since its inception, a moneymaking enterprise where corners are cut in the name of the almighty dollar.

just, like, simmer the fuck down. take that rolling boil to a nice low-medium ok? ok.

it's fuckin pokemon you guys. jesus.

perhaps a hot take but i consider it more like lukewarm at best 

listen y'all can be upset that you won't be able to transfer all your pokemon over but like. so many people are at an 11 out of this. when they need to be like a 5. maybe a 7 if you push it.

yeah it's a money-hungry move but hello? have... you ever seen pokemon? played one? do you know this franchise? are you going to tell me next you're shocked that GI Joe has merchandise my dude? please calm down
