Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

In that it makes me want to live in a country where firearms are readily accessible to the general public.

That doesn’t help your case in explaining how it makes you want to do it.

I mean, sure, it isn’t as accessible for Open-RP like in WoW.

But say, Stormwind RP make me cringe so hard that I would rather throw myself into a volcano.

It’s about tastes than overall telling it’s complete cringe.

I am having a good time with Omega RP. :slight_smile:

Naturally, going to public inn events and the like gets you Stormwind-esque RP - that is to be expected.

But I am engaged in three different subcommunities at once right now (one with Viera’s FC, one with the Ishgard community, and one in [spoiler]), and I have plenty of positive experiences in all three!

Which one would that be?

Because I’ve been considering to expand the RP scene within Ishgard, either by joining an FC or will soon go out to announce if there’s an intrest to make one?

Still the Scholar’s Virtue crew, I believe we’ve talked about them before!

I am still on a bit of a honeymoon period with my Viera since he’s so totally different from anything I’ve done before, so he gets most of my love right now (and he’s not in Ishgard), but I am very much still on and around there a few times a week.

Yeah, I was in the Scholar’s Virtue yesterday. Fun bunch. Also been interacting them very heavily to help me rework Havi’s concept.

So, another bit of me gushing about the brilliance of FFXIV.

Shadowbringers spoilers

Following a model set by Tolkien, fantasy settings like to have a pseudo-paganistic pantheon of gods with specific domains, and an overgod above them. It’s how Forgotten Realms cosmology works, for example. Oh, and evil cultists have their own evil gods to worship.

It seems at first that FFXIV is following that model with the Twelve, Hydaelyn and Zodiark.

And then it subverts that. Completely and utterly.

Also. One more thing.

FFXIV is never smug and mean-spirited about subverting expectations.

It never goes “haha, bet you expected something different, huh?” like certain works built specifically around subverting expectations.

FFXIV just tells stories. And these stories just happen to subvert your expectations along the way because you’re so used to a lot of fantasy, especially fantasy games, being formulaic and insisting on doing things a certain way.

I don’t know why it won’t give it to me lmao

Meant to reply to this earlier but;

without spoilers; wait until you get to Endwalker.

I’m breaking my vow to say this.

I did ShB. All of it.

5.3 made me cry.

I’m glad it did.

Peeps floating around in Orgrimmar for some reason I can’t divine. Wonder what they’re up to?

Lately I’ve noticed that people crossrealm into the server to converse OOC in public, and when they don’t, they are doing so to provide “quality” RP.

Like the wonderful interaction where a no surname forsaken with an empty TRP (but had one nonetheless) coming in to intercept a question of why I Was in Orgrimmar at that time to say he was here for “p–sy and stuff like that”

I’m not really griping so much as curious when this behavior began. It wasn’t happening when I quit.

horizon zero dawn looks ridiculous (in the good way) on an OLED. maybe this is what will finally get me into it

Just watched Amazon’s Legends of Vox Machina. And I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in a while with characters voices by none other than fan favorites Liam o’Brian (Illidan), Laura Bailey (Jaina), Travis Willingham (Thor), Sam Riegel (Donatello) going on a D&D quest with Matt Mercer :joy:

did the jade witch thread get nuked?

I think so…

Although I rather not head into it, with safety for my sanity in mind.

It did indeed.

Pointy kitties make this forum less awful.

Reminded of the time I trained my pet rat to climb up my leg and up to my shoulder if I patted my thighs

Unfortunately he started doing it regardless of whether I was wearing anything on my legs, oof ouch the claws
