Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

Here’s an engineering guide for you

  1. Take a gun
  2. Shoot someone
  3. Take their stuff
  4. There’s a chance they might have some gizmo on them. (in rp)

Congratulations, you’re now an accomplished engineer/machinist.

You don’t need to justify your knowledge of tech if everyone who knows better gets shot

If you have the aspersions of becoming a tech magnate, you might as well start with cutthroat stuff while you’re still a peasant.

Just pay an NPC, less work

Eh it’s not like crafters are hard to lvl up once you unlock the Firmament in Ishgard
Also here’s the crafter+gatherer jobs

More time consuming than paying a person or NPC!

That is true, but crafting jobs are good if you want money as well for something

100% agree with this because bah gawd is my online history toxic (which hasn’t been helped in the slightest by getting into Dota 2 recently…)

Also Dota 2 related: no one told me about how easy it is to get stuck in low priority due to having a potatoe of a PC which randomly freezes the game so it takes 10 minutes to restart the client.

Hunting a mark in FF12, a rare spawns on top of it. Kite the rare away to deal with it only for a 2nd rare to spawn on top of that.

“It’s the holidays why are you still working???”

“Ooh but it’s the holidays so it’s not that busy!!"

" At least it’s Christmas this weekend! "

Things I have to hear daily whilst working in the food industry…

Hello, darkness, my old friend…

You know it’s funny, but I don’t think I ever did. I have asked someone if they were an idiot - and very deliberately phrased it as a question, not an accusation. Giving them the benefit of the doubt as it were.

Which totally went over that dumb bastard’s head.

(jokes asides, most of the above examples probably aren’t the norm even for online gamers - or so I choose to believe)

Entirely unsurprised where boush falls on the issue

“Who amongst us has not knowingly called someone racial slurs”

Like yes, when I was a kid I used words like cancer to describe a bad gaming situation because it was and is heavily normalised and I would expect and appreciate someone calling me out for that and most importantly I never found myself saying ‘why are there more options for Black and Asian folks in the customiser’ or using Pepe the frog as my discord avatar

it is two days until we are due to fly to italy for christmas, and the world is going a bit wrong again and everyone around me is getting COVID

if there was a scale for anxiety i would be on the highest possible end of that scale right now

always has been

best of luck

in other news, the final fantasy subreddit did an elimination poll and it has come down to the final 2.

7 and 10 are the finalists. 7 i saw coming but didn’t expect 10 to make it tbqh

I’m not surprised.

For many it was their first foray into Final Fantasy - well reviewed, beautiful cinematics, full voice acting (for better or worse), a move away from the ATB to an extremely transparent and intuitive turn order list, great soundtrack…

And a solid sequel even if people continue to sleep on it.
