one time when a friend was visiting me in California, we went to a gamer bar and he was like “oh, cool, a Fallout reference!” when he saw a normal California flag that’s how I feel whenever I realize that another crazy fantasy proper noun from FFXIV Ishgard is just a normal Catholic thing
How seriously do you take the “get to the airport as if the flight isn’t delayed” advice when you have 12+ hours notice of a delay?
google sheets going through such an identity crisis that a folder of recent bookmarks shows 3 different favicons
almost done with the ARR patches. excited to spend several expansions with this iconic lineup of scions!
the fact that it’s become a TikTok trend to play the Serial Experiments Lain OP on top of Gilmore Girls (now having spread to tons of people who’ve never even touched anime) has got me even more delusional about my “gilmore girls -> digimon tamers” conspiracy theory
just realized that my retainer named Yagami Hikari lost out on a sale from a player named Kari Kamiya……………
baffled that I was able to land on these perfect names within a couple days (their rescue names were Tiny Tim and Lewis), but I’ve spent a month trying to think of a name for my new FFXIV character and I haven’t been able to think of anything aside from the same silly name I made 11 years ago
my goal was to level all the ARR jobs to 50 before moving on to the ARR patches — I figured this would be easy with preferred world + several exp buffs (usually getting +400% exp lol), but it still took a while! also gave up on crafters, figure I’ll do those slowly through daily supply missions
the biggest problem with todo apps is wtf was i talking about a couple months ago
revisiting toy story makes me nostalgic for digimon frontier, since these two ran in the same weekday block on UPN
people these days treat ARR like it’s a burden to just plow through, but idk.. ARR, they could never make me hate you
one of the biggest logical fallacies I see in discourse around AI that falls apart under the tiniest bit of scrutiny (but is extremely common regardless!!!) is that every new technology is similar to every prior generational shift. but all of these prior shifts were different!
Hype for Evercold got me itching to jump back into FFXIV for the 3rd time In 2015-2016, I just got through ARR MSQ In 2020-2021, I started over & got midway through ShB MSQ both times I enjoyed it a ton, but life just got busy Starting over yet again this time because I’m very nostalgic for ARR 😅
I’ve seen tons of people point out the obvious LOST reference in the widow’s bay finale, but have yet to see anyone else talking about the more subtle one
if I gaslight hulu support do you think they could get the japanese dub rights
always thought it was a bizarre coincidence how the 3 generations of women in gilmore girls was so similar to digimon tamers (perfectionist daughter, rebellious single mom, traditional grandmom) but it just occurred to me that 5/6 of them all have L/R names: Rory/Lorelai/Emily vs Ruki/Rumiko/Seiko
new mid-life crisis unlocked (it seems like they stopped making japanese dvds after season 2, boo)
red alert for me specifically (I’m in the midst of rewatching…. via the japanese dub. which is on netflix, and will almost certainly not be available on any other streaming apps the show might be on in the years to come)
was going to say it was just bandages, but um… yikes (also, everything comes back to shirou emiya huh)
I’m convinced today’s new shonen jump series is referencing the canonical first youtube video
1 week after getting Ludo and they finally hit the most important milestone 🥹
