Another week, another get-my-hopes-up with Khloe's Wondrous Tales. #ffxiv

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14, Wondrous Tales game. 8 stickers placed on the 4x4 grid, one line is marked, there is exactly ONE SPOT where a sticker could go to form two more lines.

While my job hunt hasn't been great, and trying to learn UE5 has been mildly frustrating, I have figured some things out between Blender and Gnu IMage Program. I like this custom mod work is coming out, makes me feel not entirely unproductive! These are mostly new skills to me, too.

Game engine render of a full back tattoo added to an existing texture, including making some parts of the tattoo glow.

Game render of face tattoos added to an existing texture, finally aligned and sized in a way I'm satisfied with.

Y'all gonna be very disappointed to learn what Minnie's type is. Don't worry, she doesn't actually get in the way of the bromance. #gposers #midlander #middiemonday (I know I'm late) #oc:Minerva

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Three characters on a tropical island beach. Front and center is a woman in purple and pink: front-tied shirt, the most minimal jean shorts, sun visor and sunglasses. She is looking up at the elezen Emmanellaine, with an adoring and mischevious grin as she wrings her hands. Emmanellaine, with a yellow open front shirt, bead necklace, and baggy brown shorts, looks back at her nervously. Behind them, Sicard in a blue island shirt, peach shorts, seafoam green sun visor and shades- crosses his arms and looks away, mildly disgusted at the other two.

Finally have a contribution to #FemraFriday ! Screenshot of my OC and other Femra's (and Tataru) on the beach of my Island Sanctuary. I like how the characters are color-associated; this OC likes yellow/gold. #gposers #gposernsfw #oc:apocrypha

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Four women on the beach of a tropical island. Three are Au Ra with black scales and horns, one is the small Lalafell, Tataru. Sadu is dark-skinned, white-haired, jean shorts and front-tie white shirt. Cirina is light-skinned, pink-haired, wearing a patterned red jacket and bikini. Tataru in a while sailor top, shorts, and red straw hat. My OC has reddish skin, white hair, gold bikini bottom and gold jacket. She has no matching bikini top.

KHLOE! 😭 You're so nice... despite all the times you gave me bad sticker placements. #FF14

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales" game. The 9th sticker has been placed, and it forms a perfect triangle of 3 lines- a gold reward!

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Jul 9

Khloe please, you're getting my hopes up on purpose! Placed all these stickers like this without any shuffling. #FF14

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales" sticker game. 8 of 9 stickers placed, one line marked, and yet another possibility of getting 3 lines.

Shenanigans from #ffxiv Occult Crescent: watching a group of people struggle (but eventually triumph) at the Hinkypunk fight (yes that's the ghost bird's name), while we /eatchicken from above.

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. A pair of characters wearing wolf headdresses stand on a cliff overlooking a grassy field. A purple ring of magic forms an arena, with a few live combatants and a lot of fallen ones battling a ghostly bird. The pair watching from above are eating fried chicken from a bucket.

From: markcarrigan.net/2026/06/18/t... I know that my previous employer tried to use "story points" to balance developer time against project demands, but they didn't do that very well either. The way my lead worked, you'd think he was trying to hit new records of pull requests/commits.

Comic drawing of a museum exhibit. There are four glass case enclosed items on pedestals, and a curator is presenting the fourth to a pair of visitors, saying, "our newest exhibit." Within the cases are: reams of continuous printer paper, a set of cards with numbers on them, a model of a node graph, and a digital counter with a large number on display. Above the items is the title, "Museum of Meaningless Metrics." They are labeled: lines of code, story points, pull requests, and tokens spent.

I got a cat! Unlike other cats that tear up curtains and upholstery, this one mends things. #ffxiv #FF14 #MonsterHunterWilds

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14: A woman in chef's attire pets a cat while wearing an oven mitt. Except the cat is a Palico from Monster Hunter Wilds: it walks upright, wears baggy overalls and a fur-lined hat, carries a backpack overloaded with adventuring supplies.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Jun 5

Excuse me, excuse me SE- when do we get these emotes? To-go coffee cup, jam on toast? PLEASE?! #ffxiv #ffxivCosmicExploration

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Though there are two individuals in sci-fi outfits, the focus is on the fact that one is holding a piece of toast with jam, and the other a to-go coffee cup with lid.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· May 13

Khloe, this... this could have been better. I mean I guess I'll try for the 2nd line, but not counting on it.

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales" minigame. 8 of 9 stickers have been placed on the 4x4 grid, forming one line, and opportunity to form a 2nd one. No 3rd line possible, it's just a bad arrangement. Also every likelyhood of no more lines.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· May 11

Oh, I did say I brought them to both jump puzzles. Here's the view of Tulliyolal from the other one with the DT alliance raid NPCs.

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Trio of adventurers stand in a shaded nook at the top of a high structure. Below them spreads out the city of Tulliyolal, at the edge of the shallow reefs of the blue-green sea.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· May 11

ZOMG FFXIV 7.5 SPOILER! ...Sorta. The DT alliance raid NPCs have an escort quest, so I brought them to both Tulliyolal jump puzzles. I lucked out and finished one at the perfect time of day!

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Three adventurers are atop a high tower pre-dawn, looking at the brightening sky over the sea's shallow reefs and a vast waterfall.

As previous image described, but the dawn breaks on the horizon.

The sun is risen, bisected by low clouds just above the horizon. A colorful lens flare crosses over the trio watching the sunrise.

The sun rises above the distant clouds, the tower and the trio adventurers illuminated by its rays.

Contributing to #ffxiv #goldenweek with this #gpose of Minnie in the saucer, gold bunny suit, and extra lighting!

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Woman with straight black hair wears a golden bunny suit in the Gold Saucer posing in front of the cactaur statue.

She can't keep getting away with this! (she will continue to do this) #ffxiv

Screenshot of Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales" mini-game. 4x4 grid, 9 stickers get placed randomly, possibly forming 1, 2, or 3 lines. Here, 2 lines are formed, with one sticker out of place that could have formed the 3rd.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Apr 14

Khloe, why.... #ffxiv

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Apr 10

I made my own custom stripes! 🐯🐰

My new grind begins! Going to collect ALL THE THINGS*! * at least the mining earring, and everything else I don't already have.

low-rez emoji mash-up of "hyperbole-and-a-half"'s "All the things" art with the white-with-black striped hair and ears of my Viera OC

🎉 KHLOE! 🎊 💝 My first 3-lines, gold prize!

screenshot of Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales". A 4x4 grid where 9 stickers are placed randomly, and have made 3 lines, forming the legendary 'bingo'!

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Mar 28

Happy CAKE ON FIRE day! 🔥🎂🔥

Screenshot from tumblr; there is a picture of a frog. The text caption on the post says: "Some frogs have heart-shaped pupils. This is vital and important information." The photo shows it is true.

"Bacon egg and cheese- you want that on toast, bagel, or croissant? Two lotto tickets- what're your numbers? (You know you can get a third cactpot ticket?) No Newports but I can get you nicotine patches- you were gonna quit this year anyway, right?"

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14; woman with straight black hair but purple undercut, violet eyes, pale skin and freckles; she wears a chef's hat and outfit and is writing with quill onto a pad of paper while wearing oven mitts.

KHLOE PLEASE! #ffxiv

screenshot of Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales". A 4x4 grid where stickers are placed randomly, and 8 of 9 have been placed. One diagonal and one horizontal line are formed, and there's a chance the next stickers could form the 3rd line.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Mar 25

Please, Khloe.... #ffxiv

screenshot of Final Fantasy 14's "Wondrous Tales". A 4x4 grid where stickers are placed randomly, and 7 of 9 have been placed. One diagonal line is formed, and there's a chance the next two stickers could form a 2nd and 3rd line.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Mar 5

Dammit! 😔

Another pic of the Wondrous Tales sticker grid. The 9th sticker is placed... and it does not form 3 lines.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Mar 5

My weekly #ffxiv Wondrous Tales is making me EXTREMELY SWEATY! 🥵💦

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14, the weekly Wondrous Tales grid. 8/9 stickers have been placed, 2 lines already, and a small chance of getting the coveted 3 lines.

Minnie may have chosen a bad time to visit Radz-at-Han. (Yes she did the jump puzzle at this part of the MSQ!) #MiddieMonday #midlander #hyur #ffxivgposer #gpose #gposers #ffxivsfw

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Minerva, with a new black haircut and purple Sharlayan coat, sits on a bronze elephant in Radz-at-Han. Behind her is the shimmering orb of the vista point. She's looking up into the burning sky as meteors rain down.

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Feb 28

I got the same damn thing for THIS. They only protect assholes with this "rule".

A twitter ban message about "abuse and harassment" for the phrase "a slap in the face," which is a figure of speech about disrespect. Also FUCK NIGEL FARAGE!

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Feb 10

Ok ok, here's a better pic than the character screen view of her outfit from yesterday. Minnie in her bakery-kitchen, with barely enough space for the table to put the new cake on. #gposers #FebHyurary #midlander #ffxivsfw #FFXIVscreenshots

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. Woman in a chef's outfit seated on a heart-shaped chair, with a cute little Paissa in a chef's hat at her feet, in a bakery displaying several heart-themed cakes. She's raising her oven mitts, cheering having made so many delicious things!

Cryptomancer@cryptomancer· Feb 9

Falling further behind on screenshots I might "owe," so here's something for #MiddieMonday #ModlessMonday and #FebHyurary (?) all in one: Minnie's outfit for working the Patisserie during the event!

Screenshot from Final Fantasy 14. A midlander woman with purple hair wearing a chef's hat, oven mitts, uniform jacket and apron/skirt- each white, trimmed with light purple.

Haze's adventurer plate! I've changed themes occasionally as I acquire more decorative items but really... having this whole "Dark Knight" with a pink and purple heart theme is more my thing. 😏
