The feeling of utter defeat when the yolk breaks and your Perfect Egg™ is ruined.
Also, I did it, Argent Dawn. I managed to get a somewhat decent picture of baby tokay, sitting on its dad.

… Get a fringe cut. You saw nothing ¬_¬
Valid. This was just based off what we already have existing.
Going forward I feel the ‘everyone has to have a thing at the same time!’ should be done away with. I also dunno if Tuskarr would fit with ‘just’ the Alliance, as they seem fairly neutral. It would balance out the Taunka, perhaps, but still.
Sethrak also wouldn’t work, not unless the whole ‘faction war must be eternal’ thing got done away with, as they were on good terms with the Vulpera come the end, and we really don’t need a Pandaren must fight their sometimes literal family members schtick again, imo…
The car can’t come back to FF14 fast enough.
I will still never get used to how FF can move so swiftly from quite standard fantasy to sudden modern/sci-fi elements.
And does it better than WoW in my opinion.
I counter this with the MCH questline.
I’ve not done that yet.
I did encounter a weird slapstick comedy questline with zombies and a Inspector however.
Hildebrand? Do it.
Do them all.

A Karen-like-woman had a massive go at me today, because I couldn’t go anywhere due to an accident and the police had closed the main road.
She then proceeded to have a near head on collision with a van driver and a side-collision with a woman.
I got Karen’d today, which wasn’t cool - but karma came not 5 seconds later.

Ah. Good that Karma dealt with it.

She had the makings of a Karen.
Hair up, so it looked short.
A fairly high pitched voice.
Drove an AUDI.
The last point says it all…AUDI drivers…
I have my brother’s cold.
I am so angry.
in brighter news, one more daily until my dancer is geared up.
Got my bard to do next.
UK based?
For me, it’s always been BMW drivers. They tend to nearly all exhibit a particular breed of road arrogance >_>

Yes, UK based.
AUDI drivers in Manchester are the worst. BMW aren’t much better, but AUDI’s - can’t be doing with them. I reckon if every AUDI driver in Manchester had their car impounded, then the roads would be a little bit safer.

Minfilia is quickly becoming my pet peeve. Not her personality, but rather her treatment by the writers. It feels like a violation of the “show, don’t tell” rule in every way possible.
She’s supposedly a skilled diplomat and administrator, but we never see her display those skills. She’s supposedly important to the Scions’ cause because she has the Echo, but we never see her use it. Her actual on-screen contributions to the Scions’ cause consist of:
- standing behind her table;
- messaging you to return to the Waking Sands whenever something bad happens;
- making faux-inspirational speeches about how important the Scions are and what a beacon of hope you are;
- [spoiler].
ARR spoiler
getting captured
Of course not everyone has to be a badass, and someone has to take a desk job and make sure the proverbial trains run on time, but Minfilia isn’t ever shown doing what’s supposedly her job, much less displaying the qualities of a leader. Nor does she seem to have any plans or contingencies beyond “throw our most accomplished field agent at the problem of the week and hope it works out somehow”.
2.1 would have been a perfect opportunity to actually give Minfilia something to do, but instead she spends it being indecisive, delegating all decision-making to her underlings, and needing to be spurned to action. Alphinaud does everything that should be her job. Alphinaud decides on the location for [doing the thing], Alphinaud summons the Adventurers’ Guild representatives, Alphinaud negotiates with them (off screen). All Minfilia does is make another self-important speech where she basically takes partial credit for what were mostly your accomplishments.
(Another “show, don’t tell” thing: in the same questline, we randomly learn she was trained as a miner. Does she look to you like she ever swung a pick or did any physical labor whatsoever in her life? She looks like Princess Peach’s more realistically drawn cousin.)
It’s like playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, except you’re never made Inquisitor despite all your personal accomplishments, and the nominal leader of the Inquisition is not Cassandra or Leliana, who co-founded it, but Josephine, who is called a great diplomat but, unlike in the actual game, is never shown negotiating with anyone. Also she has the Anchor like you, but never uses it to close rifts because reasons.
This wouldn’t be so frustrating if at least I had an idea what the writers were trying to tell us. Is Minfilia a good leader who just isn’t given anything to do in a story centered on a combat badass (you)? Is she a weak and ineffectual leader whom circumstances forced into shoes too big to fill? You could argue for both of these, but I’d rather the writers picked a message and stuck to it.

Hehe, nice. “Carma” is always great.
A couple of weeks ago I got passed aggressively by a guy in a BMW while driving at the speed limit, after he’d been tailgating me for a while, apparently in a massive hurry.
Sadly for him he immediately had to brake for a huge line of traffic waiting in front of a bridge (multiple boats came through so it took forever) and once the road was open again he had to join the line behind a mega slow tractor going onto a loooong road where you can’t overtake, while I took a left turn, smiling.
