The icon for the FF14 "Interject" ability: someone grabbing another person by the throat, prompting a "..." speech bubble

"But sometimes it's possible for a tank to actually win"

Don't give me that David Sirlin shit. You are one player among four and even if you CAN win, the other people are sitting there twiddling their thumbs for the enormously long time it's gonna take. Have some fucking courtesy.

I think I get PEAK ANGRY at FF14 randos when you're in a 4-person dungeon, there's a near-wipe on a boss, and the tank is trying to solo a boss from 75% instead of just deliberately dying so everyone can start over. It is as close as I get to breaking my taboo on using certain types of insult.

I have committed to doing "fighting game culture" for my Games and Culture topic in the spring.

That... took more doing than I anticipated, emotionally. I got some trauma! But times have changed, for them and for me.

SORRY: I AM FINE this was a thing that happened long ago

Picking up a book I need to cull some readings from, seeing it spattered with blood along the top edge, and realizing this is going to be incredible environmental storytelling someday for someone.

Ahaha yes this was years ago, and even at the time was more annoying/confusing than dangerous, but thank you for asking <3

Yeah, David's drumbeat on this when it would come up was "relationships change all the time, and for a huge variety of reasons you'll never know about." So I have to remind myself that it's the lack of data that my anxiety spins into the narrative of "people leave you b/c you're bad."
