I do wonder what they're gonna do to innovate, since the subscriber drop-off has been very noticeable.

Ala Mhigo: We may have secured our freedom, but the rebuilding of our homeland after decades of war and unrest will be a monumental effort.
Garlemald: Every inch of our capital is literally a smouldering wreck.
The devs: What if the Lopporits wanted to make stuff out of space glass tho.

There are several factors at play obv, but I think a major issue is that this restoration event isn't framed around a place we already intimately know, like Ala Mhigo or Garlemald. I love Ishgard, so I was invested in seeing it fixed! I don't give a shit about a collection of vacant space rocks.

I know XIV isn't as booming as it was during post-Shadowbringers, but it's a bummer how quiet Cosmic Exploration has been compared to Ishgard Restoration. :[

Some meme about drawing circles I have added spheal to because it's a circle
1: Just make it exist first (badly drawn blue circle)
2: You can make it into a spheal later (pokemon rumble spheal perfectly inside a circle)

I feel so bad for not quite knowing how to react whenever a rl friend who's REALLY into the scene tries to show me funny clips of his fav 'tubers and it's just a girl shrieking incomprehensibly. 😭

I had no idea they made Poke plushies that small!! They're perfect tree ornaments. ;0;

The geniuses at RGG /would/ do that. I need to stop fucking around and catch up on Yakuza so I can play 8 already!!

Not to say that chatting up a large audience while gaming for long stretches of time doesn't require a great deal of effort! It just doesn't catch my admiration like someone making a book, game, or album does.

(you can tell celebrity culture in general flies over my head lol)

I've never been able to relate to Vtuber culture. 😓 I can see the social appeal of watching a streamer play video games, but when they become an IDOL is where I get confused. I get a lil starstruck when interacting with my fav artists, musicians, & authors, but that's bc I'm wowed by their work.

Enjoying Pokemon Z-A, but as someone who is so thoroughly uninterested in Vtuber-type streamers (absolutely no shade if that's your bag!), the Canari sections are...not my idea of a good time...💀

Painting war minis has made me realize just how badly I miss working with physical mediums, but when you're broke, ya just can't beat the fact that a yearlong clip studio sub is the same price as 1-3 tubes of paint. 💀

In line for an event at the art supply warehouse and feeling like such a poser bc everyone in line is drawing/painting such cool shit with physical mediums and I'm the only bloke with an ipad lmao.

Pokemon Z-A is incredible bc the vast majority of NPCs don't really say anything more substantial than "I like Weedle!" but every once in a while, you'll randomly come upon one of these exciting French people:

I submitted some pinned insects for 2022's contest, too, but it was a much more complicated wall display. I'd hoped simplifying the concept to one tabletop case would help, but evidently not.

Well, whenever the next contest rolls around, I will continue pushing my entomologist agenda. 😡

Oh man, I'm crazy excited for some of the winners from the housing design contest, but ngl. kinda disappointed SE won't let me have nice bugs in my house beyond recolors of the morpho buttefly. 😔 My dream for Shirley's house remains out of my reach...

This is one of the most important things that has ever happened in a Pokemon game.

Start boiling some instant beef ramen with ~half the water the directions recommend, and as soon as the noodles are tender enough to swirl around, throw in an egg and stir until the noodles have absorbed the remaining broth. Chop up a shitload of green onion and throw it on top. Lunch of sovereigns.

Ah, I forgot it was toughness! Of all the players I've spoken to, I've never managed to see someone pass the check lmao.

If you fail, you choke on the brain matter bc the texture's too disgusting, and even though Marazhai's laughing at you, he's actually kind of sweet about it?

I HAVE TO KNOW, did you pass the willpower check?

Confession: I had a Monumental Dummy Moment and I thought that in order to get the true ending, you had to 100% the Pokedex, not just catch every Pokemon. 💀 I coulda beaten this game 10 hours ago, but I was too busy catching MULTIPLES of every Pokemon to complete dex entries!!
