There are SO many white hydrangeas here right now! So have a picture of one

A large cluster of white hydrangea blossoms in focus in the foreground, with several more out of focus in the background. Beyond the hydrangea bush are some sort of building and what appears to be a pine tree, also out of focus, and beyond those, a bright blue sky filled with puffy white clouds.

Screenshot of an article reading "No industry of value needs to mislead you or make you feel bad for not adopting their technology. No trustworthy individual will ever see the need to humiliate or attack somebody for being insufficiently excited about a product. No CEO that talks of a theoretical future as a means of selling you software in the present should be trusted. No technology that makes mistakes with regularity should be defended.

"And no industry that demands everything from us — our land, our energy, our water, our jobs, our art, our writing, our attention and every dollar we have — should ever be treated with anything but revulsion."

God this is so cathartic to read www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-...

Screenshot from the linked article reading "LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don’t want to code, the researchers who don’t want to research, and the lawyers that don’t want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful AI is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs’ outputs tend to be people with low standards."

Made this after last year's Moonfire Faire, and I liked it so much I kept it ❤️

A female Hellsguard Roegadyn with wavy red hair sits atop Hunu'iliy in Tuliyollal, legs crossed at the ankle in front of her. She's wearing the Maritime Mirrored Sunglasses dyed cherry pink, the Leisurewear High-cut Knit Top dyed turquoise blue and neon yellow, the Dirndl's Wrist Torque dyed cherry pink, the Sea Breeze Summer Pareo dyed turquoise blue and cherry pink, and the Maritime Sandals. Behind her, a huge waterfall lined with craggy rocks arcs out into the distance.

Here are some pictures of the curtain situation. I couldn’t get the tension rod all the way to the top of the window frame due to the apartment’s included blinds that I can’t remove. This is why some light still gets through at the top. Again, I’ll solve that later. 😂

Long red curtains that fall to about half a foot off the carpet, with more long red curtains of a slightly different shade poking out below

A view of the top of the curtains, with one of the outer curtains pulled back to show its black lining and another set of curtains beneath. The top of a set of beige blinds is visible between the window frame and the top of the second set of curtains.

There’s been a ton of FFXIV news today, so much that the most important thing may be lost: WE ARE GETTING AN “OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO” EMOTE

It's been a long time since I've been to a convention! Enjoying seeing people's posts about their trips to Fanfest. Also, I gotta say, I really like the lockup

My timeline is forbidden

A winner is me

Screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV of my character, Rona Caldera, catching the Purse of Riches for the first time. (She also has the title "Crimson Explorer" because I recently managed to jump off Kugane Tower onto the lamp post)

THIS IS A REYROSE AU via this blog which found it on a site that no longer exists: www.tumblr.com/daisyfairy1/...

Social media post consisting of a photo and a caption. The photo is of a printout note on a bedside table. The first paragraph reads: "Don't Panic. There's paracetemol in the top drawer, and bottled water on the side. The bathroom is straight across from you." It continues with a Q&A section. For the first question, "Where am I?", it says "In the spare bedroom of the bouncer you were talking to last night. You weren't in a state to be left alone, wouldn't/couldn't get in a taxi, and none of your friends were answering the phone." For "Where is my....?" there are three subheadings: "Phone? It was on the bedside, check under pillow. Tightfitting jewelry? On the side. Clothing I threw up on? In the washing machine/tumble dryer, there's some oversized hoodies in the drawers." The final section is labeled "What now?" and reads: "Whatever you like, sneak out without a word (follow the road downhill to the city center), or stay in bed, there's clean towels on the bannister, possibly food in the fridge, a sticker with the WiFi password on it somewhere in the living room, Netflix on the TV, and the Dog loves to be played with." The person who posted the photo added the caption "He actually washed my jeans and left out pain killers and water! 10/10 looked after me better than you bitches," followed by three "joy" emojis.

Here's my entry for the #FFXIVSweepstakes #GlamourItUpSweepstakes! The glam is: Head: Survival Hat (all classes) Body: Roseblood Coat (RDM) Hands: Archmage's Hand Runes (BLM) Legs: Ark Angel's Poleyns of Aiming (ARC BRD MCH DNC) Feet: Augmented Credendum Longboots of Scouting (ROG NIN VPR)

Screenshot of a female Roegadyn character from Final Fantasy XIV with the Gunbreaker job equipped. She's standing in front of Ul'dah in Western Thanalan wearing a Red Mage body piece, Black Mage hands, aiming legs, and scouting feet alongside her fending necklace, the only piece of job-specific glam that matches her job role. The image also includes the character's name, Rona Caldera; her world, Midgardsormr in Aether; her job, Gunbreaker level 60; and the time and date, February 25, 2026 at 13:35.

Now the jobs are to 52, and I've picked up Samurai again to bring it along. Haven't done the job quests for 52 yet. Kind of dreading the Dark Knight one tbh. I really wonder where that story is going to go. I'm hoping the WoL's noble spirit wins out

Screenshot from Final Fantasy XIV showing the Character dialog, on the Classes/Jobs tab, DoW/DoM subtab. Four jobs are at 100 and 12 are to 52. The other jobs that start later than 50 are at or not far from their starting point. The screenshot also shows my character with Astrologian equipped; the gearset is Augmented Ironworks save for Azeyma's Earring and Neophyte's Ring.

“Want to be here” just means “want to visit” and is contingent on the country recovering from current times

A map of the US with states and territories to color in. Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama are red for “lived here”. California, Texas, Illinois, and Wisconsin are orange for “stayed here”. New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Ohio, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Florida, and Hawaii are yellow for “visited here”. Indiana and New Jersey are green for “stopped here”. Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana are blue for “passed here”. Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Puerto Rico are purple for “want to be here”. With the exception of the last one, each color is worth a different score (decreasing from 5 to 1). My total score is 68.

I love this game

Screenshot of a quest acceptance dialog from Final Fantasy XIV.

The same screenshot, cropped to the following quest description text: "So eager is Jannequinard to talk with you, it is almost as if there were a giant exclamation point hovering above his head."

Everyone’s to 50. And I gotta say…the Dark Knight job quests are making me extremely uncomfortable 😂

I have had mixed feelings about the English translation. I just went back to look at chat logs with my husband where I complained about things. An example:

Screenshot of a chat between me and my husband that reads:

cosleia — 4/12/2025 2:32 PM
Estinien said it was his duty to put an end to anything caused by the Eyes. the English translation then says "Or so the boy would say. Damn you, Alphinaud." what he actually said was, "Isn't that right, aibo? Alphinaud?"
I don't like translating aibo, no idea what is a good translation. buddy? partner?
anyway he is talking to the WoL

(husband) — 4/12/2025 2:33 PM
Ah, the WoL is the aibo. Check.

cosleia — 4/12/2025 2:33 PM
like...it is a SIMILAR sentiment but the English translation leaves us out and makes him too grumpy toward Alphinaud imo
he's resigned but he respects us.
maybe they're going for American Action Hero

I don't even know how many times I ran Stone Vigil with Duty Support. (I am hoping to learn the jobs and roles well enough to feel comfortable doing content with other humans, but I'm not there yet. Hard to ignore all the "I can't believe this [job name] did [something] in [situation]" comments)

The most delightful spam/phishing email I am pleased to be informed that your name is Mr Scheinder Frank! Ah, the edification.

Screenshot of an email in an inbox. The subject line is "Financing your projects and pay 3% per year", and the message preview begins, "Dear Sir, Dear Partner, I am writing to inform you that my name is Mr Scheinder Frank,"

More progress (thought I'd do an actual game picture this time)
