[undone tide]

do i just get punished for clearing early orrr

[sinful brook]

No you will probably still find full DN parties

[worn bluff]

most reclears i see are DN

[jolly flume]

most people who cleared already cleared doing DN

a lot of the parties that are currently progging will pick up BC because it isn't reprog for them

[worn bluff]

it doesn’t seem that bad to learn both except that they have opposite acting LPs for boss/nothing

[clear plume]

I see no dps in belly so that means I stay out got it

[vestal hollow]

i dont consent to being vored

[jolly flume]

cerb didnt ask

[stray forge]

California is crazy for this

[jolly flume]

they took off a lot of the fat cap damn

give it back

[wicked delta]

imagine actually buying that

[remote gate]

looks like shit

[undone tide]

there will come a point where DN is replaced with banana codex because the number of people who cleared with banana will be higher than dn

so at some point i will have to learn this weird ass “D is True North” strat

[low hearth]

Forced to learn Banana Codex 💔🥀

[worn bluff]

regardless of whether it’s better or not i do think the banana solution is clever

just in how they thought to adjust the order of resolution

[grand mesa]

meat looks like shit before you cook it

[vestal hollow]

id eat it raw

[remote gate]

sure but ive seen raw slabs look better than this

[low hearth]

[tawdry delta]

Yes

[tawdry delta]

Issue is when the banana proggers join reclears later and don't read the description

[worn bluff]

PF having bad reading comprehension

unthinkable

[worn bluff]

hector teaches DN as the primary NA strat in his vid and makes brief mention that banana exists, so it may have contributed to banana but it’s not the only reason

there were streamers pushing banana too

[jolly flume]

x*no

[worn bluff]

iirc hector just said he suggests statics do banana but DN is what you’re likely to see in PF

[jolly flume]

🍌 📖

[tawdry delta]

It'll be almost all banana in a few weeks

[worn bluff]

death snail even mentioned he thinks banana is slightly better so it’s not coming from one place

sure hector could have decided to smother any strat outside of what was PF norm and not mention anything else

idk

[rapid whale]

It's my understanding those progging the fight are learning banana those who have cleared in pf are doing dn rep 2

[worn bluff]

i prefer PF to be unified too but it is what it is, can’t really change it

i progged late with friends so we just went with whatever had more PFs now which is banana

i’m actually more surprised clone relative rep 1 didn’t catch on more in PF

it’s a much simpler adjustment

i’m used to regular DN now but i prob would have chosen clone relative if in a static

Hola

[rapid whale]

are you done with msq

[dreamy whale]

No I had work at 11 so I went to bed at 2am

[rapid whale]

GET OUTTTT pipe sounds

gg get prefired

[dreamy whale]

NOOOO

Bapl gonna talk to every static on every DC and tell them not to take me when I finish msq

[rapid whale]

im not sure what kinda statics are recruiting atp ngl

[thin fox]

wait

I just realised

why does WK say to put passage on weapons??

is he fucking stupid???

[sinful brook]

What why

For what part of weapons

[worn bluff]

it might be a coincidence but almost every WAR i’ve played with this tier has been pretty bad at basic tank stuff

[worn bluff]

idk i feel like you would look pretty dumb using wings in weapons

[jolly flume]

easy jobs attract bad players, always has been true

[thin fox]

" PALADIN: Passage + Veil opener. Passage Weapons 2 (2nd/3rd) and Ultimate (4th/5th). If you fuck this up you're trolling."

is what he says

what does 2nd/3rd even mean here

how does he think passage works

[jolly flume]

pick one

[boreal pumice]

let him cook

[worn bluff]

i’m guessing he means don’t do it if it’s sword

[sinful brook]

Mb

[worn bluff]

but it’s still silly

[thin fox]

why would you not passage domination

[jolly flume]

you can't even do that though is the funny part

[worn bluff]

idk man

[thin fox]

instead of trying to grief going for a monkey weapons passage

[jolly flume]

opener to weapons 2 is like 100 seconds

it's not off cd

[sinful brook]

Oh he's saying to passage during the 6weapons

[worn bluff]

oh yeah it’s not even up lol

[sinful brook]

?

[thin fox]

hes saying to passage during weapons2 and ultimate

[jolly flume]

honestly I'd rather have passage on the crown of arcadia after weapons 2

[sinful brook]

Oh I misread

[worn bluff]

its more wild because he has zero commentary on how to mit the rest of the fight lmao

[jolly flume]

30s healer mits are back between weapons 2 and dance of domination

but that raidwide is kinda rawdog

[worn bluff]

DO ALL OF THESE THINGS OR ELSE but do whatever you want after uwu

[zealous meteor]

there are good WARs but the average WAR is ass
just like how there's good players but the average player is ass

[thin fox]

I used to do this but having people stacked is really unreliable in pf

[jolly flume]

if you wings opener you can't do that though

[zealous meteor]

[thin fox]

which is why I do it on domination

because people are usually clumped a lot better

[jolly flume]

yeah thats fair

[thin fox]

in static I'd try push for the raidwide but pf is pf /shrug

[jolly flume]

I get to just yell at people to stack up

[thin fox]

usually I dictate my passage use on when pf is likely to group up which is not always when its optimal to passage

[jolly flume]

stack second is always fun because there's a 90% chance two casters are missing from the stack cuz they dont want to move

[thin fox]

its why I basically never passage in like m9s

cuz lmao people just stand wherever

[worn bluff]

it’s just for people who only MT they’re kind of bad at MT

[zealous meteor]

i mean there are fights where MT/OT is basically a completely different role right

[thin fox]

when i was doing m1 picto if it was sword into axe i would just go "theyll live that!"

[worn bluff]

i mean like simple things like “mitigate this tankbuster and don’t die”

[thin fox]

[zealous meteor]

[craggy marsh]

i've seen too many wipes happen to the crown of arcadia after arena split so I use it there sometimes

pf can't heal

[zealous meteor]

but i get the feeling you're not talking about those fights

[thin fox]

in most cases OT is just a different group/spread spot

[zealous meteor]

[zealous meteor]

impossible content

[jolly flume]

there aren't that many fights where mt ot results in actually different mechanical responsibility

recently I can only think of fru

[craggy marsh]

funny enough OT in M11 is probably easier for the protean spots

[thin fox]

in terms of ultimates even DSR/TOP are the same

[craggy marsh]

bc you just stand south with zero ways to clip people

[thin fox]

TEA is different for p2 but that's it

[worn bluff]

i saw some DRK MTs in FRU that couldn’t even pull fatebreaker center

like why are you MT if you can’t do the first 5 seconds right

[jolly flume]

drk mt is usually a red flag

not because drk mt is bad

theyre just always like

[thin fox]

drk is not bad. drk mts are bad.

[craggy marsh]

even then in FRU isn't it just the DD bait

DRK MT and PLD OT are sus to me in pf

[jolly flume]

and you do wings dark and light differently but yeah

[craggy marsh]

bc a DRK MT won't mit for shit or is just a bad player

and PLD OT refuses to buddy mit anyone

sitting on a full oath gauge for half the fight doing nothing with it

[rapid whale]

thats me on pld

[low hearth]

GNB/DRK TOGETHER = INSTANT BLACKLIST. You have ZERO useful party mit. Everything is physical damage. You're dead fucking weight griefing 6 other people. Play PLD/WAR or don't queue.

[craggy marsh]

Watashia if they chose which tanks they had

[low hearth]

Maybe I should start repping weapons 🤔

[thin fox]

Don't argue when I call you out. I'm not your fucking babysitter. You're missing 30-40% mit coverage and expecting others to carry you. Earn your clear or leave.
MY party, MY rules. Press your mits or fuck off.

[thin fox]

a late rep can cover 3x weapons

same goes for any 15s mit

[low hearth]

Watashia in m12s when a melee doesn’t feint ravenous reach

[jolly flume]

you should rep weapons yes

[grand mesa]

wait

what cd is rep

[jolly flume]

60

[grand mesa]

ah

you can just have 50% uptime on reps if you stagger them

[jolly flume]

wow 50% uptime

that's almost as good as pf healers

[tall ore]

You could get 100% uptime in chaotic if people wanted to coordinate

[craggy marsh]

bring 4 ninja's so you can have 100% trick attack uptime

er sorry, DOKUMORI

[grand mesa]

[sinful brook]

It's only 66%

[craggy marsh]

right they made it a 2 minute

[remote gate]

HEY i was actually mitting as much as i could in m9s 😭

[craggy marsh]

I SAID IN PF

[remote gate]

ngl our static runs felt like pf at times

[craggy marsh]

😭

[remote gate]

btw you cleared 11s last night right mango

[zealous meteor]

i tried

[remote gate]

wasnt just you sam dw

[zealous meteor]

but it was partially me

[craggy marsh]

ye with the help of gamers

but now I can join reclear parties

[remote gate]

👏

[craggy marsh]

so that'll make things easier

[remote gate]

i hope youre able to find a static you can be in forever

[craggy marsh]

next expac for sureee

gonna try and make some more frens

or just pray that someones tank leaves one of my friends statics

[sinful brook]

Good cope

[craggy marsh]

[remote gate]

ignore channy im giving you my 5* static 7 summon gacha ticket and you will get the cracked gamers

🎫

[craggy marsh]

I don't even need cracked gamers

just decent people who know how to have fun

[remote gate]

feel that on an emotionally level

[craggy marsh]

bc ngl

i'm tired of people acting like children just bc a pull didn't work out

and the constant snarky remarks whenever someone gets hit

"The insert job here got a damage down again"

doesn't really do a good job for group morale

[true beacon]

Had a tank leave in Sphene ex when we exploded to meteors

Like

A week ago

[remote gate]

"wow you killed our shield healer!"

"typical melee dps on the floor"

know exactly what youre referring to

[low hearth]

mb

[remote gate]

like ik raiding is stressful but throwing remarks like that mid raid doesnt solve anything

[craggy marsh]

comments like that are really unnecessary and aren't helpful but for some reason every static I get has someone like that

[low hearth]

It’s funny sometimes

[zealous meteor]

[jolly flume]

we just call each other chuds every time we dd to orbital

its fun

[craggy marsh]

see that makes sense

[zealous meteor]

what about me going "mentor btw" about myself when i eat shit and die

[craggy marsh]

but your static also has good comradery

which is how people should be

[remote gate]

"not enough mitigation there by the way!"

[jolly flume]

we get along quite well

[worn bluff]

i watched a streamer sit on 100 gauge almost all of M12-2

they literally only used gauge to sheltron themselves for TB

as OT

[craggy marsh]

idk why people join statics that clearly don't mesh well with their personalities at all

[sinful brook]

The other version of that is the person who just wiped the pull saying "we need to all lock in"

[remote gate]

dude put a spoiler on this type of harmful material

[rapid whale]

IM ALREADY CASTTINGNGNNGNGNGNG

[craggy marsh]

"guys can we please lock in?"

has been hit by every mechanic

[echo ibex]

[remote gate]

see that was actually funny and great bcuz that was p1 dsr this was m9s when we were trying to clear

[grand mesa]

FOCUS UP GUYS, WE GOT THIS

[rapid whale]

one of my pet peeves is when party is discussing how a wipe happened so that the others dont make th e same mistake -> person who made the mistake is hella embarassed so they are liek CAN WE JUST MOVE ON -> now the team isnt 100% sure on how the wipe happened and it might happen again

[zealous meteor]

[rapid whale]

nuh uh i was soooooo mad grrr

can u believe some ppl think we are srs btw

[echo ibex]

Guys this is a chill group relax

[rapid whale]

by asking me to do the bare minimum you have broken the "no salt" clause of our social contract, i will now call you slurs

[jolly flume]

leave the salt in the ocean guys

[remote gate]

good vibes only please

[zealous meteor]

you fucking white mage

[rapid whale]

3rd ranged fake melee

[rapid whale]

holy shit

wtf

[jolly flume]

LGTM

[craggy marsh]

Ngl I feel like some people watch too many streamers and get this weird idea that every static is going to be like the streamers and then get upset and mad when it's not

[zealous meteor]

that is literally worse than my uptime and they don't even have the excuse of being bad at slidecasting

[jolly flume]

LMAO

how do u just

forget to use your delirium combo

in the opener

[rapid whale]

how have your reclears been going

[valid solar]

chat is it worth greeding an extra gcd on act 1 knowing I will cleave half the party if I fail

[robust shoal]

yes

[jolly flume]

just don't fail

its like 80 seconds into the fight and your pull should be consistent

no reason for the greed to be a 50/50

I recall it lining up pretty fine on mch anyways

[valid solar]

btw @rapid whale are you actuall aiming to clear your alt today

[steep narwhal]

aren't u on dancer bro

[rapid whale]

ya in a pt

idt it will clear but trying

[valid solar]

I got tired of dnc so I went back to mch

ic

[steep narwhal]

THATS STILL PHYS RANGE

[valid solar]

well yeah but you need to turn and face the boss to gcd regardless of what job you're on

[steep narwhal]

use the hack me and tenyu use

i forgot what buttons we press

but that's how we cast without worrying abt facing the right way

[valid solar]

if it doesnt and you need a prange for the next one lemme know

[steep narwhal]

i forgot which button

[jolly flume]

just press the button and the instant the gcd rolls press lmb+rmb to face away

[steep narwhal]

it's like s d a or something

[jolly flume]

its pretty easy

[steep narwhal]

yeah

there's also like a combo of button that lets u turn away

and u can js spam gcd while using ur mouse to turn around

[jolly flume]

you can pivot even on legacy by holding lmb+rmb+s and moving your mouse around

[valid solar]

oh I didnt know that

ill try that then

[terse zodiac]

Or hold both strafes

[steep narwhal]

yeah

thts what tenyu does

[sinful brook]

This what I do

[grand mesa]

I do this so I have more fingers free on my keyboard hand

[undone tide]

you think anyone who plays this game unironically has anything going on today

[steep narwhal]

no they def do

huh, tyrant took me less pulls than the bros, thats the power of c41

[undone tide]

i’m so sure

[jolly flume]

I went out for lunch already today

[proper cave]

[steep narwhal]

they're either hanging out w friends or going out w their date

[undone tide]

i have spent the day playing video games and practicing

You can macro strafe right and strafe left keys to a single button and it faces your camera every frame for legacy

Fwiw

It’s what I do, I have a mouse side button for it

[steep narwhal]

[clear plume]

Their wife duh

[jolly flume]

[steep narwhal]

i thought they broke up w their wife

stella's the one with the body pillows

there is a new wife

[steep narwhal]

i c

i'm getting hotpot soon

[jolly flume]

maybe I'm the limsa bunboy

[steep narwhal]

and then i'm gonna drain wallet by going to a bookstore

[rain geode]

Honestly need to go do some limsa dating I I've grown to attached to my cat girl and I. Sad I never log into xiv anymore

[steep narwhal]

life is good

I got halfway through idyllic dream and then merc booked my way to the end. A consistent party is magical

[jolly flume]

what r you buying

[rain geode]

Need to find a reason to play again

[steep narwhal]

maybe some manga

manhwa if i find some

[clear plume]

That is quite possibly the worst possible way you can be motivated to play ffxiv

[low hearth]

You gotta clear the tier yo

[clear plume]

Watashia may have better reasons than a limsa egirl

[jolly flume]

I need to go out to kinokuniya again next week when I go out for food with my raid lead

see if I can find

more japanese edition spice and wolf

[rain geode]

Then I feel obligated to do reclear and reclears are the worse

[valid solar]

this is like saying "I should go to the casino because I want to use my credit card on something"

[jolly flume]

I mean

thats better than gacha gaming

at least you have a chance at making money back

[grand mesa]

Picking up a random person from limsa can't be a good idea

[undone tide]

i do believe today is an isolationist angle for me

[rapid whale]

enrage 1st pull but idt the party has the dmg

[jolly flume]

is it wrong to pick up catgirls in limsa lominsa

[rain geode]

Closer to like "I have a year pass to an amusement park I better go every day to get my money's worth

[undone tide]

i had a busy week ig i deserve this

[grand mesa]

I don't expect much else from you

[rain geode]

tew dont be the subject of the next google doccy

Chiyo let’s make u a jp char and meet our future wives in reset reclears frfr on god

[rain geode]

Aren't Google doccys in this game like "you dated 4 bunboys at the same time?"

[rapid whale]

lmao

[undone tide]

my only rizz is autistic the people who would want to date me are not at bars

[clear plume]

Nah now they’re “I said I didn’t want to date, but then I changed my mind but relationship wasn’t good so he’s a creep for it”

[undone tide]

and evidently not within an 100 mile radius of me

[grand mesa]

What if u find each other..

[warped gate]

trust me bro you will meet the love of your life at a rave concert

[clear plume]

Ok maybe u should find a limsa gf

[jolly flume]

ff drama is so boring

[clear plume]

May I recommend faerie

[undone tide]

ff drama is basically just high school drama

[low hearth]

That google doc was the dumbest shit ever 😭

[undone tide]

its kinda crazy honestly

[clear plume]

Siren has a lot too

[warped gate]

highschool drama but the median age is like 40

[undone tide]

which one

[clear plume]

It’s the actual most pointless doc I’ve ever seen

[rain geode]

That'd why it's fun I get to act like a catty high school girl again

[trim frost]

ok good thing i did not read it

[clear plume]

Fucking HALF OF IT is talking about how you were clear you didn’t want to date but doesn’t ever get to the point that yaknow

For you to have ended up dating you changed your mind?

[steep narwhal]

it used to be fun back then

[undone tide]

except in reality most of these people were never catty high school girls

[clear plume]

It’s up to you to hold to your standards

[rain geode]

(Just in case anyone missed it that pun was 100% intended)

[clear plume]

If a friend is pushy stop talking to that friend for not respecting it

???

[jolly flume]

I think a lot of people just

[clear plume]

The person mentions they’re 27 you gotta learn how to adult by now

[jolly flume]

don't know what a boundary is

both in terms of respecting them

and setting them

[undone tide]

i think the solution is getting off of the mmo and seeing people in real life

[warped gate]

i think youre forgetting the part where they dont get social interaction outside of the computer

so normal for you is not normal for them

[grand mesa]

I think a lot of people who try to date through ff aren't enough of an adult to realize you should be communicating with and respecting the other person

[steep narwhal]

dude ppl just need to learn how to socalize

or they need to go out and touch grass

[wind cypress]

what about double down on mmo and go like full vr?

[clear plume]

That literally does not matter to me in any world whatsoever because that is a choice caused by your own actions and not something that can’t be fixed

[jolly flume]

you will not meet the asuna to your kirito in ffxiv

give up

[undone tide]

socializing is realistically not very difficult the only thing you have to do is have some sort of awareness of what you’re saying

[clear plume]

If you have time to edate on ffxiv you can meet friends irl

[undone tide]

although i do realize this is difficult for many

[warped gate]

vr is a different cesspool

[steep narwhal]

like there are ppl who just only play ffxiv and do nothing else

[undone tide]

[trim frost]

fuck you mean too much

[steep narwhal]

bro u went to taiwan to help ur grandpa

[warped gate]

limsa goers

[clear plume]

Managing a social life (having one outside of a mmo) is a part of the being an adult thing

[steep narwhal]

that's like a bit too much grass touching i fear

[jolly flume]

valcors will have a meet cute at the pool when hes blind af looking for his glasses

[wind cypress]

took me 350 pulls to clear m11s, maybe they should make it a little more forgiving and I'll be able to spend more time in real life xD

[clear plume]

Not an excuse for not being one

[grand mesa]

[trim frost]

🥀

[fierce matrix]

Youd be surprised

[steep narwhal]

u literally go out w ur college friends

that's too much grass

[rain geode]

That was me until about a month ago

[steep narwhal]

U LITERALLY HANG OUT W GIRLS

THATS SOOO MUCH GRASS

[jolly flume]

are girls grass

[undone tide]

yes

[warped gate]

doesnt even need to be allat like just working and socializing with people at work is enough to catch what normal and not normal is

[clear plume]

Yes

[fierce matrix]

Watashia might be at the bar complaining about mit you can rizz em up with your m11s mit plan

[undone tide]

metaphorically

[steep narwhal]

i go out w my girl friends but i'll never go out w men involved bruh

[trim frost]

impossible meet cute all the poolgoers are big white russian men or literal children

[steep narwhal]

[jolly flume]

the big white russian men bit is kinda real ngl

[fierce matrix]

I love big white Russian men

[grand mesa]

I'd rather eat a bag of nails than have to interact with that idiot

[steep narwhal]

my cat is so cute and edible

[rain geode]

I'll go with girls, guys, neithers and both

[jolly flume]

you even named her after a delicious fruit

[undone tide]

accidentally ending up dating watashia at the bar is peak story material

[jolly flume]

was that her purpose from the beginning

[undone tide]

also i refuse to believe watashia could ever be in a relationship with someone

[clear plume]

Watashia is not employed sorry to say but I’m placing my bets on it

[steep narwhal]

yes

[warped gate]

im sure u could smell watashia before they start speaking

[steep narwhal]

to be my food

[clear plume]

So they’re not affording a bar

[grand mesa]

Watashia must be a child

Or close to it

[jolly flume]

your cat is cute af tho

[undone tide]

like if watashia can find someone for him i should actually just stop trying

[steep narwhal]

and edible

stop forgetting edible

[vestal hollow]

you are also edible

[steep narwhal]

i am not edible

[rain geode]

Honestly the only person on this entire earth I could not see in a relationship is myself

[undone tide]

humans are indeed edible

[jolly flume]

[steep narwhal]

why r u peeing.

[undone tide]

there’s 8 billion people out there i mean realistically speaking it’d be impossible there isn’t one who would harbor mutually romantic feelings for you

[clear plume]

Most people could find a girlfriend within a month if they just dropped their standards, but there is a lot of men who aren’t amazing looking who for some reason hold women to a higher beauty standard than they do themselves tbqh.

[undone tide]

this also works the other way around in fairness

[rain geode]

I wouldn't be so sure

[low hearth]

mb

[grand mesa]

Most of my relationships have just been former friends that we've hit it off with

Talk to people

Vibe with them

[steep narwhal]

just make friends

[grand mesa]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steep narwhal]

that's like the first step for 99% of ffxiv players

[sinful brook]

Mb

[steep narwhal]

make friends that aren't from ffxiv twitter

[rain geode]

I have tons of friends

[warped gate]

getting off the game is the first step

[wind cypress]

is there an even distribution of quality in that 8 billion set, or you have a few percent that are highly sought after and the rest ignored, like mmorpg auctions with end game gear and such?

[clear plume]

When will I meet my future wife on the league of legends Korean solo q ladder

[undone tide]

all my friends are in my puter… (satire)

[steep narwhal]

i know this couple who's been married for like 6 years and they met on ff

and they're both v sweet ppl

i know another long term relationship that met thru fishing

[warped gate]

ya theres a lotta people, my friends parents and my coworkers met off mmos

[jolly flume]

I know a few married couples who met on mmos too but it's still decidedly not the first place you go to find a partner lol

[grand mesa]

If you look for a husband your chances might be better

[steep narwhal]

another one of my friends met thru trial roulette

[warped gate]

its just two very opposite sides of the coin

[wind cypress]

me and my rl gf met on aol fr, 24 years ago xD

[sinful brook]

Just visit the lovebringers discord

[steep narwhal]

this but also if u have the mentality that u wanna date ur gonna have a bad time

[grand mesa]

Help

Not that place

[sinful brook]

I have no idea if it does anything

[grand mesa]

😭

[vestal hollow]

this feels like when someone translates a statement to be "gamer language" to be hip with the kids

[sinful brook]

I just know it exists

[undone tide]

24 years and she’s not your wife?

[steep narwhal]

whenever i'm depressed i read profiles on there

and then i feel better

[wind cypress]

shakes cane I'm a dinosaur yes

she doesn't like marriage and I respect that

[clear plume]

Limsa shoutchat might actually be better than meeting your partner over discord

[grand mesa]

I doubt that somehow

[jolly flume]

you might get watashia in your dms

[warped gate]

only things i get in limsa shout are people arguing

[steep narwhal]

the love of ur life is in leveling roulette

[undone tide]

pin this

[vestal hollow]

fascinating claim

[steep narwhal]

why is my cat so fat

[vestal hollow]

majority of zoomers use discord for dating

[warped gate]

the love of your life goes to raves hops statics every day and plays loverwatch custom games

[jolly flume]

no...shes at the conjurers guild with a sprout icon...

[vestal hollow]

rather than dating apps

[wind cypress]

never know, just saying 😄

[steep narwhal]

she's ready for edibling

fat and edible

[trim frost]

[undone tide]

earth is a harem and i’m the only one not having sex.

[wind cypress]

that where they throw the roomba thing down a ice skating rink and some guy sweeps up the debris?

[steep narwhal]

yeah

[undone tide]

in a way

[steep narwhal]

basically

it's the one that koreans are weirdly good at

[undone tide]

ur sweeping the ice to decrease friction i believe?

[clear plume]

I was in curling in high school, competed nationally

[undone tide]

idk

[undone tide]

[jolly flume]

hop on figure skating

[grand mesa]

And now you're trying to edate on league

[jolly flume]

the olympics is just a ginormous orgy

[trim frost]

[valid solar]

Eugenics in my endgame lounge smh

[clear plume]

You sweep to melt the top lair of ice and let the stone slide more or less

[undone tide]

can you imagine the olympics but if it was e-sports. 0 condoms used

[wind cypress]

curious, cause I'm old and out of the loop - "dating" to me means you're in the beginning of a long term relationship, that different now like less attachment or something?

[grand mesa]

tbh

[vestal hollow]

can i jungle with u bbg

[undone tide]

dating is a very wide term

[grand mesa]

It means a bunch of different things now

[tired egret]

I don't date anyone

Atm

[grand mesa]

Some people date casually and don't expect much out of it

[tired egret]

Thankfully

[undone tide]

most of us don’t because we’re terminally online

[tired egret]

True

[clear plume]

If u saw my laning on zeri you wouldn’t be confused

[tired egret]

[clear plume]

There is a lulu main for me out there…

[warped gate]

undoubtedly worse than ffxiv

[warped gate]

no there isnt

they are not good people

[wind cypress]

so for ff14, you could join a guild and discord - talk in chat, meet up in rl, exchange pics - seems like a viable avenue for rl dating?

[grand mesa]

I don't speak mobanese

Sorry

[undone tide]

you could have a whm gf instead of a lulu gf

[rapid whale]

wat am i reading

[jolly flume]

ew

[clear plume]

I’m picking the lulu every time there

[jolly flume]

my gf will NOT play whm

[warped gate]

you need an ali gf

not lulu

[undone tide]

where is my cotank gf

[wind cypress]

my gf doesn't like ff14 :/, she plays silent hill games, mine craft, vein, 7 days to die, survival stuff - which I play too but yeah ff is too furry

[undone tide]

she gives me oblation and i give her intervention

[vestal hollow]

ff is too WHAT

[warped gate]

too furry is what he said

[clear plume]

Real though

[tired egret]

Too furry

[undone tide]

looking at ur discord banner rn

[clear plume]

If she’s catgirl she’s a furry

[wind cypress]

lol

[warped gate]

all those naked male hroths afk in limsa is a lot for a person

[tired egret]

They saw too many Hrothgars?

[random needle]

it's not furry enough

[amber fable]

Not enough

[low hearth]

What a drag…

[vestal hollow]

this is furcopemaxxing

[rapid whale]

i heard they added a yuumi equivalent in overwatch

[zealous meteor]

exactly

[warped gate]

jetpack cat

[zealous meteor]

it needs MORE furry

[grand mesa]

Jetpack cat is a lot more involved than yuumi

[undone tide]

are people actually playing overwatch again

[random needle]

Is this a safe space

"Jetpack Cat" is perhaps the most first-draft name for a character I've ever heard

[grand mesa]

It's fun

[warped gate]

it is

[grand mesa]

She has a real name

[random needle]

Jetcat is right there

[valid solar]

This character is horrific

[grand mesa]

But it's not the official one

[worn bluff]

idk why they made the cat so generic looking

[undone tide]

its ok sapphire they’ll retcon the name when it gets lore later

and it will be a super sad laboratory backstory

[worn bluff]

like it’s a video game and you made it less cute than irl cats

[undone tide]

except now it uses its powers to save everyone!

[jolly flume]

you guys ever notice that if you flip soldier 76 around you get soldier six seven

[grand mesa]

All I know is that someone had to sit in a recording booth and meow into their mic for an afternoon

[jolly flume]

I would've done it for free

[random needle]

Mewg-- is shot

[clear plume]

Don’t call out chiyo

[valid solar]

You know theres a soldier 67 emote where he says 67 and does the pose

[undone tide]

average ffxiv player afternoon

[warped gate]

ur right they shouldve used my cat as a base

[grand mesa]

His VA has a voiced 67 emote

[jolly flume]

are you deadass

[low hearth]

67

[jolly flume]

we are cooked as a species

[steep narwhal]

it was an event

u got free 67 emote

[grand mesa]

https://youtube.com/shorts/tDuuWWspIko?si=WvDvoek_CWBcpVgJ

If you count his age

[grand mesa]

He is a zoomer

[rapid whale]

this reminds me of how goku's va in jp is an old lady so i used to wonder, imagine being a small old woman in a japanese apartment wanting to practice so the neighbors call the cops thinking you are in major pain; the cops arrive and hear AAAAAAAAAAAAAA and arelike freaking out too; when she opens the door she just goes, "i do this for a living"

[warped gate]

i woulda if they asked me

[grand mesa]

So this emote is lore accurate and in character

sum41, you mean m10s?

[grand mesa]

Red hot approached deep blue, albeit nervously

[low hearth]

Deep Blue’s tagging in 😂

[grand mesa]

Then they hit it off

[jolly flume]

[craggy marsh]

yeah that's pretty much how it goes

yareli is fun and very good

makes any secondary a beast

I have an unhealthy obsession with Harrow tho

[rapid whale]

FILTHY RATS

[warped gate]

vuln doesnt matter at lvl 3000+

[undone tide]

armor shred and damage vulns are not the same things

[warped gate]

ya still applies the same % dmg

with corro

[undone tide]

nothing is stopping you from just running terrify or pillage on yareli

[warped gate]

does yareli have shieldgate

[craggy marsh]

condemn on my Hildryn

[warped gate]

i forgot

[dull drum]

i saw the sans undertale one and

[valid solar]

Ngl Armor shred not that big of a deal anymore since armor nerfs, a primer pet with corrosive is enough

[dull drum]

its stuck in my head

[undone tide]

yareli can shieldgate yes

[dull drum]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD FUCK GET OUT

[warped gate]

ya its an old build

flame prime is still better

[undone tide]

summoning merulina gives 4 second invuln

[valid solar]

Yareli gets like 4 seconds of invulnerability when they get off merulina

[warped gate]

ohhh

[valid solar]

Don't even need the shieldgate

[warped gate]

didnt know that

[undone tide]

plus merulina soaks damage into hp during that period

[dull drum]

dw protea still up there as the all time goats

been top tier forever

[undone tide]

so you can get like millions of hp on merulina at high scaling

[warped gate]

i only play unfair frames so i wouldnt know how to build yareli

[dull drum]

there should be like a hall of fame for warframes that have like

stayed good indefinitely

[valid solar]

I use the protea augment that makes the turret double it's damage every time it hits an enemy

It's peak

[warped gate]

it just takes too much to build him to get him to the unfair

[dull drum]

depends on the fight

ngl

[undone tide]

trying to build any non prime frame

[dull drum]

if its like m12 i could see why

[valid solar]

I'm free now so we could make a pf and set it to 775 or something

[dull drum]

ehhh

[undone tide]

SEVEN FORMA

[warped gate]

LOLL

[dull drum]

idk if pf augments ilevels based on prior floor pity

[warped gate]

Hes in the same boat tho i dont die at 6000+ like valkyr

[dull drum]

cause its week 6 right iirc

so tech 2 glazes and 2 raid accs with worst case luck

[warped gate]

dante is p much useless at that high lvl though

[rain geode]

I mean with how bad people's damage is I can see needing every advantage

[craggy marsh]

I can help too but it would probably be a bit before I can join bc me and husband going out to hibachi soon

[warped gate]

dante prime when

[dull drum]

also any weapon

[craggy marsh]

2027 or 2028

[valid solar]

He's not though?

[warped gate]

when i say useless i meant his overshield more like

his dmg still isnt bad

he just dies unlike valkyr and qorvex

at 6000+

[valid solar]

Overguard constantly regenerates even when taking damage with Dante so you have an overguard gate basically permanently

How are you dying with him

[warped gate]

how long is the invuln from og gate

[valid solar]

Half a second iirc

[warped gate]

not enough

his double cast and 4 still takes longer

when ur dying to 1 bullet

saw someone did m9s with one dps literally doing 0 damage

didn’t even show up on the log damage done list

[low hearth]

Natty hold

[worn bluff]

it wasn’t a parse run, they just wanted to show that people don’t need to lock their PF to 780

just press button

[jolly flume]

tell him hi for me

[clear plume]

Nobody ever thought 9s would require a 780 ilvl

It’s about getting people who’s preferably cleared it several times instead of once

[warped gate]

is tim hortons good

[worn bluff]

no one in pf does m9 properly anyways but you still kill

[warped gate]

@undone tide

[worn bluff]

i always get people who have killed every week who still miss towers

It’s fine, good for its price but nobodies life is changed for having it

I hear tim hortons coffee is shit these days from the canadians in my static

[warped gate]

is it just like a coffee place

[low hearth]

Locking ilvl to 785 so the 19k drk can’t join

[clear plume]

I mean that happened 15 years ago now

They’ve kept the same coffee the entire time

[warped gate]

Not accurate because in pf all 7 people don't do any damage

I wasn't even sentient when that happened

all we have here in cali is just trash and sugar trash

It's dogass

All the coffee they sell is somehow

They end up just being mediocre food at higher than normall prices

Tim Hortons was alright like 15 years ago

Like affordable and not like terrible

I'll just stick to jollibee
