    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I just showed up and despite not knowing fucking anything the game holds your hand through each step and new things unlock bit by bit so you aren't dealing with all their shit at once. Here's how the public quests work, let's introduce you to some of the tasks/dailies, here's how dungeons work...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Ending on Picard finally showing up to play cards is wonderful and I fucking love the story they are telling with the multiple timelines but it's not much of a conclusion for the show. In a lot of ways it's an anti-finale. Q tells us the trial never ends and we fade out on what is one more...

    He's overall a net positive but I can see him grating on people. As far as the show's recurring guest stars go he's bottom tier.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I don't know if we've ever been told that outright but there's no doubt Ira Steven Behr didn't understand why the audience liked Dukat.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It does close everything up really well and it's not like I want Kira doing anything different in last episodes. Her on Cardassia with Dumar and Garak is just so fucking good. It's just that when I take a step back and look at the complete story I'd prefer Dukat's final comeuppance being dished...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I get who Dukat became (he should have died when his daughter died, his arc was over) and I get who Sisko was but in terms of their relationship throughout the story it was grudging respect up until Dukat loses his fucking mind in season six's Waltz and beats Sisko with a pipe. Sure, from that...

    Star Trek: Picard

    DS9 bungles a little bit but it's still very good. In terms of the characters it is Kira that had the antagonistic relationship with Dukat throughout the series. If she had the final confrontation with him it would have fit better and concluded an rivalry building for the entire length of the...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I popped in really, really late (last half of last season late) and liked the show a lot but every time I've tried to start over from the beginning it's been just impossible.

    Manastone never shows up on TLPs but Rubicite usually starts to drop after a set period of time.

    The last dozen or so I've ran in to have all been so friendly I've reconsidered my opinion on the entire breed. I'd still never get one of the overgrown rats (regular rats exist and are cheap as fuck) but these dogs seem. Unrelated - I want what they have.

    I'm only at the very beginning but so far the only thing that's keeping FFXIV from hooking me is a job with buttons I like pressing. If I find one that just does a thing I enjoy doing I'll be all in.

    What are you playing?

    It's honestly about as faithful a video game adaptation of Moonwalker the film you could make. It has the Smooth Criminal music video and Michael does turn in to a robot in it and I think also a jet at the very end? I haven't seen it in a while. It's bizarre.

    EQ TLP - Mischief (Free Trade / Random Loot)

    That proposes an interesting question. Did this server then drive krono sales from the company itself more than any of the prior TLPs? Those aren't numbers we would ever get but it seems possible that Mischief and Throneblade have generated more revenue than prior TLPs at the same point in their...

    Spell icons you can change as a part of your UI. I don't know about any fancy tricks to force old models but over time they've been replaced in older expansions. I think all of the skeletons and most of the wolves are now old model by default. edit - if you just finished leveling and are in...

    June 2006 for Sleeper/Combine. They're even OLDER than you thought! So if krono are at 2400 how does that relate to things like hate armor or the bad weapons from minis?

    Book nine felt like the literary equivalent of taking care of a bunch of side quests you've been putting off. There, Lindon finally went back home, everyone's still an asshole, there's Jai Long and his sister, pick Orthos back up, fix up Zeal, etc. With all of those boxes checked we can now...
