because it was tested by trying to lit alcohol with gunpowder, and it takes 57% alcohol to set it on fire

#

now they use ABV though, apparently

#

I'm still shocked at how many people are using Canadian drinking grade alcohol for perfume making

hexed hollow
#

Proof is sometimes used in aus, it's quite rare though with only a couple of instances I've ever seen it

#

Something cool, you can use the amount of standard drinks a bottle of alcohol has to determine the alcohol content

#

Because (in australia) a standard drink is definined as exactly 10g of alcohol

#

You need the bottle size too though :3

wide ember
#

That does sound pretty cool

wow so many mods are jojo fans

sharp grail
#

i thiiiiiiink 3 are?

somber ferry
#

i don’t know anything about jojo and only know memes

#

i have no idea where to start with it haha

#

a few of the mods do like it though

north hamlet
#

You start from part 1 ofc

#

And then you lose a week of your life because it's been running for so long

somber ferry
#

there is just So Much Jojo

tropic garden
#

mad is the ultimate jojo mod

#

in fact

#

@cedar rock

cedar rock
#

Yep it’s me Saba and codex

#

Invis dragon is correct

#

Admittedly the first two parts aren’t the highlight but they lay some necessary groundwork

north hamlet
#

It really develops into its own thing around 3

#

You could start with that to see if you like it, then go back to 1 and 2

cedar rock
#

Yea that’s a good idea, some ppl say to skip parts 1 and 2 but I think that doesn’t give them enough credit, at least going back to them is something

#

Altho I think jojo for the most part does just get progressively better with each part so starting with 1 and 2 just makes ur expectations get broken every time in a good way

north hamlet
#

Also you gotta read the kishibe rohan sidestories

tardy anchor
#

once i get into jojo its over for everyone

#

OH I READ THE ONE W HIM IN THE LOUVRE

north hamlet
#

It really does get better as you go

cedar rock
#

Rohan goes to the louvre hell yea

north hamlet
#

Part 7 was so good

cedar rock
#

Gotta love rohan

hasty kernel
#

I would skip parts 1-8 and watch HxH

cedar rock
#

Hxh is also amazing

north hamlet
#

Do both

cedar rock
#

Yea I love the both of them

hasty kernel
#

I just never was able to really get into Jojos

#

Part of it may be oversaturation

#

But yeah, usually 1 or 3 is the starting point

north hamlet
#

It's unique, it won't fit everyone's taste

hasty kernel
#

True

#

HxH is more of a straightforward shonen

north hamlet
#

But it's good at what it does so if you like it you'd like it

tardy anchor
#

hunter x hunter... is ALSO good

#

both can be good

north hamlet
#

And each part has its own "substyle" so you might like one more than the others

hasty kernel
#

Silly you, everyone knows HxH stands for "Hiatus x Hiatus"

north hamlet
#

Yes, yes it does

hasty kernel
#

This years hiatus is painful 😦

#

Its gotten to the good part of the boat arc and boom, hiatus again

#

What is it with boats and Hiatuses

#

Also watch Fire Force, its good

#

And World Trigger is good too (and actually back off hiatus finally)

north hamlet
#

Already reading fire force 👍

hexed hollow
#

I really wanna get back into D.Gray Man, but that's been on hiatus a tonne too

hasty kernel
#

Nice

north hamlet
#

At least i remember reading a bit of it

hasty kernel
#

Well, its like 80 issues now I think

#

Correction: 183

#

I was thinking of another manga

faint panther
#

1.21 GIGAWATTS

wide ember
#

World trigger is back from hiatus??

#

Don’t tell me it’s like legal drug where it goes out of hiatus for two volumes and then back on hiatus

upbeat scroll
#

spent a long conversation writing a batman story where batman is the bad guy
who wants to hear my pitch

hasty kernel
#

Yup, has been for half a year now I think?

#

9 months, actually

#

Its 2 chapters every month, so the release is slower, but its getting updated consistently

copper lark
#

shadowbringers rlly has me out here ready to beat some npcs up

ionic viper
#

speaking of xiv guess whomst just used lines from answers to title a pinterest board

copper lark
#

ohhh man

#

tfw ilvl 390 and i cant complete this level 66quest

ionic viper
#

it's kinda funny actually because a huge chunk of the inspiration for nyxallis came from the end of an era cinematic without me even realising

#

ancient dragon god sealed inside of a moon, which they eventually break out of with the goal of destroying the world out of a maddened desire for revenge against the world

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

copper lark
#

:o

#

sounds rlly cool

#

im never gonna finish shb bc im never gonna pass this job quest

ionic viper
#

rip

copper lark
#

the ai is so dumb,,, how can u make ai that is so stupid squeenix...

hasty kernel
#

Well usually you train AI by letting it observe humans doing the job, so

#

Thats probably how

ionic viper
#

not that kind of ai, uno

hasty kernel
#

I know, I was just making a pug player joke

ionic viper
#

ah

copper lark
#

oh my good god i did it

#

im gonna strangle alka zolka

#

Syd

#

Is scholar kinda easy?

#

because I just ran through Sastasha with it for the first time

#

and my fairy just healed everything

copper lark
#

lmaooo

#

no

serene tulip
#

I think I'm going to go back to tank though

copper lark
#

lower levels, eos will heal everything

#

but eos is practically useless later tbh

#

i cant wait to get seraph

serene tulip
#

I mean, right now they both do the same thing 😛

copper lark
#

?

#

do u mean eos and selene?

serene tulip
#

yeah

copper lark
#

they dont , eos actually does stuff

serene tulip
#

They both cast embrace

#

according to the description

copper lark
#

selene is the most useless summon

#

yeah but they have other actions

#

eos has whispering dawn which

#

is good

#

selene uh

serene tulip
#

Also, am I expected to like, just not kill anything anymore?

#

Doing the main quest as a healer seems hard

copper lark
#

def not

#

as scholar you're a third dps

#

msq as healer is hell : )

serene tulip
#

Right now I just have bio and ruin

copper lark
#

also i think they changed selene

serene tulip
#

well bio 2

#

maybe they should consider doing something about that

copper lark
#

selene and eos are exactly the same now ,,, how ,,, useful,,,,

#

i mean

#

youre expected to dps as any healer in this game

serene tulip
#

healing is always the least popular of the 3

#

why make it harder for them?

copper lark
#

white mage is lucky and gets to have good dps

#

its not rlly harder per se

#

in higher levels most of my free time from healing goes into shields

serene tulip
#

what does that mean?

copper lark
#

sch is basically the only healer left with protect

#

so

#

when people dont need to be healed

#

other classes would dps

#

scholar has shields you can put up

#

ill be honest i was a really sucky healer until like level 45 lol

serene tulip
#

I just wish I had more stuff to do

copper lark
#

i didnt realise i had to dps at all

#

so i was constantly topping the tank

#

as healer?

serene tulip
#

because like, I have 2 dps skills right now

copper lark
#

yeah

#

there are 5 dps skills

#

use adloquium

#

thats the only tip i have

copper lark
#

shadowbringers cry counter: 13 baby

#

i am So Sad

hasty kernel
#

In todays "I didnt know I needed this until I saw it", Blazblue Cross Tag Battle will get a tank character

#

As in, its a literal tank

#

With a skull instead of the barrel on its gun

#

This is the most glorious thing I have seen

silver maple
#

Looks like mugen lol

hasty kernel
#

Tbh BBCTB probably isnt that far off from Mugen now

#

Its got Blazblue, UNIST, RWBY, Persona and Arcana Heart, Akatsuki and one other series I forgot

wide ember
#

I can’t believe people remember mugen

#

Can cross tag allow imports of character packs though?

hasty kernel
#

Nah

#

Its the devs adding characters every once in a while

#

This time one of those just happens to be a literal tank

copper lark
#

i felt that

#

also i need help can yall tell me if this armour is ugly i cant tell

#

on one hand the fur on the neck is cute, on the other the actual chest piece feels ugly

north hamlet
#

Is pretty low res so i can't say anything for sure

#

But it looks pretty good

tardy anchor
#

oh i like it... the sharp angles

copper lark
#

am i getting called out for my graphics rn

hasty kernel
#

Are you able to dye the brown parts?

copper lark
#

i cant choose which bits to dye unfortunately

hasty kernel
#

I think the brown part of the chestpiece is the only thing I would consider a tiny bit iffy

copper lark
#

i can make the whole thing white

#

i cant dye my skirt which

#

is annoying

hasty kernel
#

The red one?

copper lark
#

mhm

hasty kernel
#

I think the red looks good And Im totally not saying that because its my favourite colour

copper lark
#

lmaoo

ionic viper
#

you're not getting called out for your graphics you're getting called out for an itty bitty screenshot ;P

north hamlet
#

Exactly

copper lark
ionic viper
#

anyway i can't answer bc i keep getting distracted by the catboy stood behind you ilu

copper lark
#

gfdbhgdf

#

thats valid

#

his name is 'badhabits'

ionic viper
#

look i have two weaknesses: catpeople and the leonhart attire

#

anyway i feel like you could probably switch out other pieces with more brown colouration and that'd nicely balance out the brown in the chest armour

copper lark
#

also i have a new gauge and i do not know how to use it

ionic viper
#

like, maybe the boots? right now your legs are a lot of black

copper lark
#

hmm thats true

hasty kernel
#

Could work, though Im not a fan of that brown colour

copper lark
#

i can dye my boots

hasty kernel
#

Kinda got that roman footsoldier kinda brown to it

copper lark
#

ive dyed the main chestpiece so the brown is gone now tho

hasty kernel
#

Yeah that wouldve been my choice

#

What did you dye it to?

copper lark
#

its all white

hasty kernel
#

Mmh

#

I wouldve tried red perhaps, but white works

copper lark
#

red looks ugly

hasty kernel
#

And hey if there is a snow level you get camouflage

ionic viper
#

another screenshot? dyes don't always affect what i think they're gonna :V

hasty kernel
#

How dare you diss red

#

Red is the best colour

copper lark
#

i can also change my skirt but it doesnt have the socks

ionic viper
#

red looks ugly shadegrief

hasty kernel
#

Wait, boots and skirts are one armour-piece?

copper lark
#

i like red

#

but

ionic viper
#

no

copper lark
#

on this piece it doesnt look good

hasty kernel
#

Or do you mean like the stockings or whatever theyre called

ionic viper
#

but the skirt syd is using has the stockings attached

copper lark
#

the stockings

hasty kernel
#

Ah

ionic viper
#

isn't that the default miqote skirt? or it looks like it anyways

copper lark
#

with dye

serene tulip
#

@copper lark do you know if there's a way I can try on mogstation stuff before I buy it?

copper lark
#

nope :c sorry

serene tulip
#

nope as in you don't know or nope as in you can't?

copper lark
#

you cant

hasty kernel
#

Not even a preview?

ionic viper
#

the only way i could imagine you'd be able to do it would be to find someone else who had the thing

copper lark
#

also thats not the default miqo skirt but now that you mention it it is rlly similar

north hamlet
#

I think you need to work more with the red if you can't get rid of it

ionic viper
#

ah yeah the miqo skirt has pleats and white socks

#

stockings, whatever

hasty kernel
#

And hey if red dye is too expensive, you can just dye it with the blood of your enemies

copper lark
#

the red dyed version is so ugly rooCry

ionic viper
#

even dalamud red? :c

copper lark
#

theres a character who genuinely does that ovven

north hamlet
#

The red skirt stands out a lot unfortunately

hasty kernel
#

Because of course there is

copper lark
#

i have a grey skirt

#

it looks weird with knee high boots tho

#

oh

#

i have a solution lol

#

hmm

#

please SE just give me a good healer glamour

ionic viper
#

man, i was just looking at some really cool thigh-high boots earlier but i can't remember what they were called

#

yes i browse and look for cool glamour items when i'm bored what of it

copper lark
#

me too dw

#

whats the timer for sending links

ionic viper
#

you should be good now

copper lark
#

okie

#

now it feels too white

#

i love these shoes tho ;;

#

also im sorry if my pictures are small i. do not know how to fix that

ionic viper
#

hmmmm...... taller shoes might work

#

squint white mage?

#

it's hard to guess class when i can't see your weapon

copper lark
#

scholar

#

im very salty towards whm

#

if i ever play whm assume ive had a huge mental breakdown

hasty kernel
#

Its definitely too white

ionic viper
#

fair enough

hasty kernel
#

Im also not sure about the frilly end of the socks

serene tulip
#

its so white it took some egg salad to a brunch in its neighbor's back yard

copper lark
#

why is looking cute such a hassle

#

LMAO

ionic viper
#

man, i found soem cute boots but for some dang reason they're open-toed????

#

like. Why.

copper lark
#

My tome rn def does not go with my outfit

hasty kernel
#

So you will be toetally disappointed

ionic viper
serene tulip
#

baps @hasty kernel

#

🗞

hasty kernel
#

Nyehehehehe

copper lark
#

why SE

hasty kernel
#

Also those are basically just long sandals

copper lark
#

ur toes dont even look good

hasty kernel
#

All your character needs is socks under it

copper lark
#

issues with making glamours:
-will my hair clip
-does it look nice
-will my weapon match

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

The MMO struggle

copper lark
#

ohh thats cute

ionic viper
#

they're dyeable so you could probably go with dark grey

hasty kernel
#

Truly, PvE and PvP arent the only endgame gamemodes

#

There is also PvF

#

Player vs Fashion

copper lark
#

hmmm maybe its time to go back to where they have a market board

ionic viper
#

glamour is the true endgame

copper lark
#

but i dont have any aetherites in the area im in rooBooli

ionic viper
#

uhhhh apparently those are the "saurian boots of healing", idk how pricey they are

copper lark
#

ty,,

hasty kernel
#

Man with how pointy the end is, getting kicked by them must hurt

ionic viper
#

the weird ones i posted before that are apparently "Hemiskin Open-toed Boots of Healing"

copper lark
#

i dont have any glamour dispellers

#

this isnt my day

serene tulip
#

"Open Toed" and "boots" are words that should not go together IMO

hasty kernel
#

There should be open-toad boots

ionic viper
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hasty kernel
#

Its time to uninhibit the ribbit

copper lark
#

toad is the best status effect

hasty kernel
#

Unload the toad

#

Permit the Kermit

copper lark
#

also frogsuit best glamour

#

have yall seen it?

hasty kernel
#

Unclog the frog

copper lark
#

i want it but i do not have the time for shb FATEs

ionic viper
#

i've seen some people with it

#

it unsettles me

copper lark
#

fair

serene tulip
#

I'm glad I'm going back to tank

#

Heavy armor is best

#

My scholar was running around in gear glamored to look like crafting gear because I liked the vest and the baggy pants more than any of the gear they gave me

ionic viper
#

i have like three outfits shared between all my classes (except my crafters) rn

#

tank look, dps look, caster look

copper lark
#

pog

#

high quality saurian boots for 1000 gil

ionic viper
#

nice

#

i want to pick up a pair of those once i'm higher level bc right now i actually use the undyeable "acolyte" version of those boots

#

for my caster look

serene tulip
#

I want me some Archodeamon horns

#

I'm actually only 75k gil away

ionic viper
#

better park yourself in the gold saucer then

serene tulip
#

but there's probably a few more important things I should spend my gil on

copper lark
#

whoof

#

dye is expensive

#

4,000 for one pot of slate grey ....

hasty kernel
#

Huh, dye is a limited resource?

serene tulip
#

specific colors

hasty kernel
#

Ah

#

Im so used to just unlocking a dye once and then being able to infinitely use it

serene tulip
#

For example: my favorite color is grape purple and only costs like, 250 gil

hasty kernel
#

Wonder if there is a colour called Hermit Purple

copper lark
#

alright gang

#

ok that was a bad screenshot

#

i can tell that much but

ionic viper
#

👌

#

is it bad that i kinda liked the red skirt because it tied together the red from the details on the coat

hasty kernel
#

Nah I agree, I liked the red

ionic viper
#

and anyone who ays red is bad has no taste

hasty kernel
#

I also agree with that

#

Also maybe its just me, but I feel like the current iteration lacks a colour

#

Like it needs something to tie it together?

north hamlet
#

This looks good if you ask me

#

I liked the red too but the black and white scheme also works

ionic viper
#

if you're trying not to look like a white mage you've failed :V

hasty kernel
#

You have become the very thing you swore to destroy

serene tulip
#

maybe its all the white

copper lark
#

listen.

#

the last scholar coffer i got was so ugly

#

i nearly cried

#

iactually kinda like the red

ionic viper
#

see???? it's a good colour!!!

#

:O

copper lark
#

i LIKE RED

hasty kernel
#

Yknow, Ive been speaking more english than german for years now, but

#

"Coffer" is still such a weird word to me

#

Because the german word "Koffer" is like a luggage, the modern kind you use to travel

#

So whenever something valuable is store in the coffer I just imagine the crown jewels in an ugly square luggage

copper lark
#

it. doesnt look good

#

please agree with me

#

thats dalamud red

hasty kernel
#

Well the deep red (is it Burgundy? I dont recall) looks good

#

But the light red is kinda off

#

Do you dye the 2 seperately

copper lark
#

i can not change this

hasty kernel
#

Oh

#

So its like, the same colour gets applied in different shades?

copper lark
#

yeah

hasty kernel
#

Unfortunate

copper lark
#

sometimes its just in certain areas

#

anyway

#

red skirt it is!

hasty kernel
#

Yknow, since youre a scholar, being well-red is kinda appropriate

copper lark
#

now the problem i have

#

my tome is blue

hasty kernel
#

Did it recently go through a rough breakup?

copper lark
#

probably

#

i think i got it off a corpse so...

hasty kernel
#

Anyway, why not try dying your clothes blue then

ionic viper
copper lark
#

i love her

#

i really do

serene tulip
#

lol

hasty kernel
#

The I assume tank armour is almost approaching WoW-levels of pauldrons

serene tulip
#

That tank look is really close to mine

#

I approve

hasty kernel
#

Ive found that in a lot of MMOs all tank armour looks basically the same

ionic viper
#

no

#

no, unovven, those aren't wow pauldrons

#

i assume you've never played it?

hasty kernel
#

Well I said almost

#

And WoW pauldrons do have a scale

#

But fair enough

ionic viper
#

that's not even "almost"

serene tulip
hasty kernel
#

Oooh, purple

#

Nice

ionic viper
#

when people point out the size of warcraft pauldrons i assume they mean the Big ones

hasty kernel
#

I mean those are less pauldrons, those are communication towers

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

Even has the 3 antennae

#

Wait is that supposed to be a rogue

ionic viper
#

no

#

that's my death knight, haywood

copper lark
#

i always play as either worgen or draenei

hasty kernel
#

I was gonna say, Rogues with massive pauldrons would look weird

copper lark
#

theyre the best

#

the new draenei race owo

ionic viper
#

HAVE YOU SEEN THE UPDATED MODELS

#

FOR WORGEN

copper lark
#

NO?

ionic viper
#

worgen and goblins are getting updated models in the next patch

#

female worgen are actually playable

copper lark
#

: O

ionic viper
#

they don't look like chihuahuas any more

copper lark
#

OHHH

#

shes cute tho

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah thats a big improvement

#

Bit annoyed that WoW has the classic problem of "female aliens just all look attractive"

copper lark
#

ohh goblins look much better

north hamlet
#

Ah extreme dimorphism

#

The hallmark of bad race design

hasty kernel
#

Mmh

#

I like that with GW2's female Charr you have a choice whether to be a fairly pretty 7 foot tall humanoid cat

#

Or a scary 7 foot tall humanoid cat

ionic viper
#

okay, i'm out

hasty kernel
#

Wait wasnt patch 8.2.5 announced ages ago?

#

I recall hearing about the Worgen models like last year

ionic viper
#

announced, yes

hasty kernel
#

Ah

#

Guess it was delayed or something?

ionic viper
#

no

hasty kernel
#

Seems odd to have the models and not release them

ionic viper
#

because they weren't done???

hasty kernel
#

They werent? Huh

#

I guess the post was updated with the newest versions then

ionic viper
#

the announcement was "hey, we're working on updating the worgen and goblin models!" not "hey, we have the worgen and goblin models all updated and ready to go, but we're arbitrarily not going to give you them"

#

....what post

hasty kernel
#

I googled it and came upon a post about the model updates and their announcement way back

#

Wack

ionic viper
#

they were announced way back but we only got the 8.2.5 ptr a few days ago

hasty kernel
#

I see

ionic viper
#

if you want to get really technical, we were told that goblin/worgen model updates were coming as far back as 2013/4

#

we saw the preliminary images of the update at blizzcon 2018

#

and were told "they'll come with patch 8.2.5"

#

now we're getting that patch, and with it, the updated models

hasty kernel
#

Ahh

ionic viper
#

btw here is a 1:1 comparison between old and new female worgen models, jsut in case you were wondering

hasty kernel
#

Yeah that looks considerably better

#

The old one looks like a rejected Looney Toons character

ionic viper
#

that's not even the side view, which is even worse

serene tulip
#

Looks like they hired an actual furry

hasty kernel
#

That ... would actually not surprise me

ionic viper
serene tulip
#

picture 1: "We want a werewolf race" Picture 2: "We want a werewolf race that people actually want to play"

ionic viper
#

the male worgen were miles better

hasty kernel
#

Implying people wouldnt play ugly races

#

Male Goblins exist after all

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

Is that new old or old new?

copper lark
#

the eyeball patch

#

you can now see their eyes

hasty kernel
#

Im assuming its old new

ionic viper
#

left old, right new

hasty kernel
#

I kinda like the old face better?

ionic viper
#

okay but the old face couldn't emote at all because it was modeled into a snarl

hasty kernel
#

Ah

#

Yeah thats fair

ionic viper
#

i mean, at all

serene tulip
#

ok yeah

#

that one looks like they didn't try at all

hasty kernel
#

It just looks fierce, while the new one looks like a confused dog

ionic viper
#

the female worgen had it even worse because the teeth would actually break if she opened her mouth

hasty kernel
#

.... what

copper lark
#

i like the new fangs

#

this is making me hope for female hrothgar and male viera : (

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

I fear male Viera is unlikely to happen now

copper lark
#

? why

ionic viper
#

lemme see if i can find screenshots of the model breakages

hasty kernel
#

Didnt they consider it and not end up doing it?

copper lark
#

male miqo'te happened,,, so,,

hasty kernel
#

Usually when Squeenix scraps something they dont go back on it

copper lark
#

they scrapped male miqo

#

but

#

here they are

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

Ah, alright then

copper lark
#

OH NO

hasty kernel
#

Jesus christ thats horrifying

copper lark
#

THATS AWFUL

hasty kernel
#

Cursed image

ionic viper
#

female worgen wrists and arms also had a tendency to snap during combat animations

copper lark
#

thats me irl

#

ehlers danlos gang rise up-

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

That looks painful

copper lark
#

that looks like when you twist a models arm too much

ionic viper
#

that's exactly what was happening

hasty kernel
#

Oh no, I looked into my image folder to find some old screenshots and came up on Gigantic screenshots

#

I miss that game

#

So much

#

Why do all the good games die early 😦

copper lark
#

:c

hasty kernel
#

The character designs were so good too

#

Look at them, arent they great

serene tulip
#

My wrist hurts 😦

copper lark
#

the rat

serene tulip
#

I played a starfinder game as a rat person named sunflower :3

hasty kernel
#

Or this tall dork

#

My favourite character, the one I got into top 300 with

ionic viper
#

(excuse the hiccup in the animation, i forgot to clean up the loop lmao)

hasty kernel
#

Oh I like the ear twitch

#

Not twitch

#

Hm

#

The small jump back

ionic viper
#

yeah! the new models are much more expressive

serene tulip
#

every time I get on the "company chocobo" i feel like I'm borrowing it

hasty kernel
#

Company Chocobo makes it sound like it has branding on it

copper lark
#

yeah

ionic viper
#

it literally does

copper lark
#

it does

hasty kernel
#

Oh

ionic viper
#

do you realise how long it took me to realise you can take it off

copper lark
#

worry not pals

#

in hw you get a new chocobo!

#

but you cant put barding on it : (

hasty kernel
#

Tbh bards are too much trouble as is

#

No need to put one on your chocobo

copper lark
#

on that topic

#

where are allthe bard npcs

hasty kernel
#

Having played DnD

#

Bedrooms, most likely

copper lark
#

ive seen one

#

and she did something that made me wanna punch her

hasty kernel
#

Yeah thats how you recognize bards usually

copper lark
#

an au'ra called magnus

#

[the naming conventions didnt like that]

#

OH not an au'ra

#

whoops

#

hes a hrothgar nvm

#

i wasnt expecting to see a bright red lion man today

ionic viper
#

oh you think you've seen weird ffxiv names?

copper lark
#

have you seen door wedge.

ionic viper
copper lark
#

door wedge is the best thing to happen to the NA servers

serene tulip
#

wait, how do I get the barding off?

ionic viper
#

you can do it once you unlock being able to use your chocobo as a companion

#

then it's one of the tabs in the companion menu, you right click and hit unequip

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah, question

copper lark
hasty kernel
#

Does FFXIV have the intentionally horrendously ugly characters?

#

That players love to make in MMOs

ionic viper
#

99% of the characters in ffxiv are hot anyways

copper lark
#

this is correct

hasty kernel
#

Something like this

copper lark
#

there is someone

#

i can think of

#

hes not that bad

#

i cant remember his name

hasty kernel
#

I suppose its a bit harder if you cant do the rainbow dye thing

ionic viper
#

i wish i had a screenshot of dr. healfist shadepensive

copper lark
#

OH AND THERES HILDEBRAND

ionic viper
#

giant roegadyn dude whose glamour appears to be bright pink speedos and absolutely nothign else, and also a pink pompadour

#

he's my hero

#

wait no i got him mixed up w/ someone else i saw i guess

ionic viper
hasty kernel
#

I just gotta say that Dr Healfist is a good name

copper lark
#

does he fit ur bill ovven

#

my gif i mean oops

hasty kernel
#

Not ugly enough

#

More flamboyant really

#

Anyway, the ones we have are always norn because of that pringle mustache

#

And most of them use a mace skin that looks like a disco ball

#

So we just call em Disco Norn

copper lark
#

yeah its hard to do that in ffxiv

#

until you see a roe in a frog suit

hasty kernel
#

Yknow, Im unsure if thats a good or a bad thing

ionic viper
#

mate if i saw a nine-feet-tall muscle man in a frog suit i'd probably cry

copper lark
#

ohh or a roe dressed as a moogle

hasty kernel
#

Tears of joy, or tears for fears?

ionic viper
#

okay okay so the tallest they can be is 7ft5 but whatever

copper lark
#

tears for FEARS

#

i cant find a roe in the frog suit

#

however

#

here is a hrothgar in a frog suit : )

hasty kernel
#

Very cursed

serene tulip
#

I know what you mean when you say roe

hasty kernel
#

Ah, that stuff

#

Surprisingly popular in russia

somber ferry
#

good on sushi

hasty kernel
#

Say, what would you call someone who likes only non-raw fish sushi?

#

I.e. vegetable and tuna paste sushi

north hamlet
#

Weak

serene tulip
#

"someone who likes the sushi without fish in it"

#

is what I'd call them

north hamlet
#

Unaccustomed is probably the most accurate description

hasty kernel
#

Its less that Im unaccustomed and more that I just dont like raw fish

north hamlet
#

You can come to like most things with enough exposure

hasty kernel
#

Most, yes

north hamlet
#

But it's not fun to work through

hasty kernel
#

Raw fish is probably not one of those

#

I just wish there was more seaweed sushi

north hamlet
#

Can you get inari where you live?

#

That's good stuff

copper lark
#

my drawing wrist is busted

#

is that gonna stop me

hasty kernel
#

Oh thats what those are called? Yeah we got those around here

#

Theyre nice

#

Also Wakame, I love that stuff

ionic viper
#

the supermarket i work in does duck sushi which is pretty good for being, y'know, supermarket sushi that's like £1

north hamlet
#

I can't eat wakame

#

It's too gross to me

hasty kernel
#

Really?

north hamlet
#

I'll trade raw fish for it

hasty kernel
#

Huh, and I find raw fish too gross

#

How curious

north hamlet
#

Trading is my favourite part of eating with friends

tropic garden
#

wakame is only ok in miso soup

#

on its own it's like....why

hasty kernel
#

Because it tastes good?

tropic garden
#

i mean you're valid

hasty kernel
#

I mean, its prepared as a salad basically

#

And its a pretty nice salad

north hamlet
#

The bright kind vs the dark kind

tropic garden
#

i have had it in salads but i wouldn't eat a lot of it in a salad

north hamlet
#

I refuse both

tropic garden
#

i don't like, as they say, The Mouthfeel

hasty kernel
#

I can definitely see that

#

It can get stuck between teeth which is very annoying

#

But I just love it

tropic garden
#

i'm pretty good at identifying it though, i helped my host grandparents gather some at a random beach one day

somber ferry
#

i can’t think of the word mouthfeel without thinking of griffin’s amiibo corner......

tropic garden
#

we also picked up tengusa, which is used to make agar jelly

#

oh i was referencing contrapoints but both are valid

north hamlet
#

I don't like the taste and the mouthfeel

#

Woe is me

hasty kernel
#

On the other hand I hate Avocado which a lot of people love

somber ferry
#

i’m not a fan of mustard but that is an unpopular opinion it seems

tropic garden
#

I hate yellow mustard but enjoy coarse mustard in limited quantities

north hamlet
#

I will take your avo and mustard

ionic viper
#

oh no i don't like mustard either

north hamlet
#

Hopefully not at the same time though

tropic garden
#

🤔

somber ferry
#

sometimes a touch of dijon is acceptable but that’s it

#

but i like acidic stuff so that makes sense

hasty kernel
#

I love mustard

#

Its probably my favourite uh

#

... what do you call the foodgroup of Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard etc.?

ionic viper
#

sauce

somber ferry
#

condiments

ionic viper
#

condiments

somber ferry
#

HAT

ionic viper
#

hat!

serene tulip
#

HAT

#

(whats going on?)

hasty kernel
#

Condiments, right, thanks

#

Also, I really dont like mayo

somber ferry
#

i love mayo

hasty kernel
#

Except in specific russian foods

north hamlet
#

I only like flavoured mayo

somber ferry
#

i used to hate it when i was younger

hasty kernel
#

We have at least 2 different salads made with mayo

somber ferry
#

but i love it now

north hamlet
#

And in japanese food i guess

hasty kernel
#

Those are good

#

But as a condiment?

#

I dont like it

north hamlet
#

It's pretty easy to overapply if you ask me

somber ferry
#

kewpie mayo is a different kind of mayo because it has apple cider vinegar iirc

hasty kernel
#

Do you think the colours work?

north hamlet
#

Yeah that or rice vinegar

somber ferry
#

also homemade mayo is much better than the stuff in the jar

#

aioli too

#

which is fancy and flavored mayo

serene tulip
#

I should not be allowed to miss friggin' stunned enemies >:I

hasty kernel
#

Hey Oce, do you think the colours work on my characters outfit?

#

Im not sure about the contrast green and red/purple

serene tulip
#

I mean

#

Its good?

hasty kernel
#

It doesnt clash?

#

Good

#

Figured since we were talking character outfits anyway, might as well get around to fixing my Sylvari Warriors outfit

#

Damn, it doesnt work quite as well at night

#

I forgot that the Sylvari have bioluminescence

copper lark
#

theres a chocobo here

#

that is twice my size

ionic viper
#

chonky boy

hasty kernel
#

... is he wearing a hoodie?

copper lark
#

raincoat

hasty kernel
#

Water-resistant hoodie

#

Also, Syd, do you think the colours work for my characters outfit I posted earlier?

copper lark
#

i do

#

the red and purple together are rlly pretty

hasty kernel
#

Yeah I basically started with those

#

Its mainly the plant character with red and purple I wasnt sure about

copper lark
#

ohh

#

well red and green are complimentary

serene tulip
#

Oh hey

#

Ross from game grumps is on

hasty kernel
#

Oh, I didnt know that

#

Im not actually very good with green colour

serene tulip
#

hey Syd, come to Limsa Limosa Aether plaza 😛

copper lark
#

:o

hasty kernel
#

Its the one colour I never cared much for

copper lark
#

one sec

#

rUBBER NINJA :o

#

it wont load me in hnnng

hasty kernel
#

Also what do you think of my character

serene tulip
#

he isn't streaming yet

copper lark
#

i cant find him

serene tulip
#

also, why am I waiting 8 minutes to get sash?

#

I'm standing right next to him

hasty kernel
#

Wait Rubber Ninja, that animator?

serene tulip
#

do you see me?

#

byeee

#

finally got sash

copper lark
#

:O

#

yeah ovven thats ross from game grumps

hasty kernel
#

I had no idea

#

I only know him from his animations waaaaay back

copper lark
#

hes my fav grump uwu

hasty kernel
#

Including "Gamers Tonight" which had some really fun gags

somber ferry
#

ross seems like a good bean

hasty kernel
#

Back before the word "gamer" became kinda uncomfortable

copper lark
#

anyway now i have to spend 999 gil to get back to my quest area

#

[eyetwitch]

hasty kernel
#

Oh no

#

The best one of his Gamer Tonight animations isnt on his youtube channel

#

Oh thankfully the website he made them for has uploaded them to their youtube channel

serene tulip
#

I'll mail you the 999 since you showing up was my fault

copper lark
#

no no it’s okay!!!

#

oh no

copper lark
#

guys help. im considering playing conjuror to get the unicorn mount

north hamlet
#

Do it?

copper lark
#

become my greatest enemy? i think not.

north hamlet
#

Ok, don't have a unicorn then

copper lark
#

T_T

ionic viper
#

i have the unicorn

#

it sparkles

copper lark
#

stoppp T_T

copper lark
#

female hrothgar mentioned in text which means

#

technically

#

they can add

shadow stone
#

I just come back to the server after a forced two-month pause and notice @sharp grail's Critical Role avatar. Don't mind me hyperventilating over here.

#

ashley's characters are always great

copper lark
#

I love solo healing a 45 minute heavy party

#

T_T

copper lark
#

we got a second healer

#

thank god

analog spear
#

Red + purple is 👍

#

Uno

hasty kernel
#

Thanks

analog spear
#

I’m mostly a stats guy, but I will work on looks if I can make my gear look like something else

#

I think gw2 has a good system for that

hasty kernel
#

Yeah

#

You unlock a skin and you can apply it at any time to armour of the same weight/weapons of the same type at the cost of transmutation stones (Which you get way too many of)

#

Dyes are similiar, but applying them is free

#

Which is good because lighting can totally mess with it

#

I still end up only changing outfits once every couple years usually

analog spear
#

I wish mhw had more options like that

#

Lol

hasty kernel
#

I wish GW2 let you dye weapons

#

Thats the one part thats annoying, finding a really sick weapon skin that doesnt fit your outfit

analog spear
#

You can die weapons

#

I know what you mean though

ionic viper
#

i wish the glamour system in ffxiv worked a bit more like world of warcraft's transmog system

#

in wow you acquire an item's appearance and don't have to have the original item around the apply its look to gear

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah, MHW has the standard MH thing where you cant change the look of armour, right?

#

Yeah thats basically how it works in GW2 as well, its a good system

analog spear
#

You can but only to very specific sets called layered armor

hasty kernel
#

Ah

#

So your standard process becomes

analog spear
#

Very few of them, I’m like 100 h in and I have 2, both are event, and only 1 looks good

hasty kernel
#

Mmh

#

I only ever played Freedom 2 a lot, and if I recall correctly my outfit usually made me look like an oversized chicken

ionic viper
#

listen, you can't save the world if you ain't cute

hasty kernel
#

Tru

analog spear
#

I’m just thinking of that mgs5 easy mode thing

hasty kernel
#

Oh the chicken hat you mean?

analog spear
#

Yea

hasty kernel
#

Oh yeah that thing was hilarious

analog spear
#

You get to actually finish the game, but at what cost

#

If you ever do get world, add me on steam

hasty kernel
#

Its unlikely, but Ill remember it

#

Partially because I cant run it, partially because Im more of a God Eater guy

analog spear
#

Yumm

ionic viper
#

psst, @hasty kernel , just a reminder that the server rules re: cursing and whatnot still apply to linked content like videos and whatnot!

hasty kernel
#

Ironically its one of the few times where the "eater" part is actually quite literal

#

Huh?

#

Ohhh

#

Damn, the last second, I forgot

ionic viper
#

it's fine, i honestly forgot until i rewatched the video too ;P

hasty kernel
#

Noted

#

Should I uh, remove it?

analog spear
#

There was a ff14 meme I desperately wanted to share on this server but it had explicit language

#

It was a fake magazine cover titled something like pissed off healers

#

And it had a ton of funny fake articles like “an open letter to dps, aoe attacks are not swimming pools “

copper lark
#

i felt that

analog spear
#

It was so good I’m considering finding it and censoring it

ionic viper
analog spear
#

Hey they’re a small indi company

#

Cut them some slack

copper lark
#

is steam good?

ionic viper
#

in.... what sense

#

i'm buying ffxiv through steam because doing so will allow me to use steam wallet cards to buy game time for it, which i wouldn't otherwise be able to do (the cards themselves are digital download only outside of NA and japan so far as i know)

copper lark
#

oh i mean it like

#

is steam ok

#

like

analog spear
#

Steam works mostly and is convenient

copper lark
#

'u good bro?'

ionic viper
#

oh

analog spear
#

Oh

ionic viper
#

i think it's mostly just bc that bundle is there more for convenience of "buy the things together!" than "save money!"

#

because the bundle i was looking at was the basegame and shadowbringers for ffxiv

hasty kernel
#

Welcome to semantical ambiguity, the thing driving AI developers mad

copper lark
#

ohh

#

i wish i had only preordered shb

#

instead of buying stormblood first

ionic viper
#

yeah.........

#

okay here's the part where i find out if i need to redownload the game lmao

copper lark
#

good luck

ionic viper
#

lies down...........

#

i guess i get to do other things for a few hours,,

copper lark
#

im doing the thousand maws of toto rak

#

i miss low level days

#

life was so easy

#

how-

copper lark
#

vivi ff9

is vivi from 9-

ionic viper
copper lark
#

i miss miasma

north hamlet
#

Oh no i missed out on mhw talk

#

And it was fashion hunter too

copper lark
#

I JUST

#

i just defeated a level 80

#

and got absolutely nothing for it

sharp grail

#

VIVI CAT

hasty kernel
#

Oh so the fashion endgame is called Fashion Hunter in MHW? Neat

north hamlet
#

You can actually set your session description to fashion hunter

hasty kernel
#

Neat

#

Kinda makes me wish we had a "Fashion Wars 2" title in GW2

north hamlet
#

Pretty much all high rank armour can be dyed to some extent, but most of the layered armour is from arch tempered elder dragons or is hidden in an event quest reward

#

I've got like 300 hours and i only have 5 sets and some silly hats

#

But I'm also a slow player

#

There's also costumes for your pet and the handler that you get from events

hasty kernel
#

Speaking of pets, GW2 added cats you could essentially turn into pets for your home instance a while back, including this beauty

#

I honestly dont know why misshapen cats are so hilarious to me

copper lark
#

i hear theyre planning on changing the ffxiv mh raid

north hamlet
#

Wonder why

copper lark
#

is that

#

genuine or-

hasty kernel
#

I mean Im genuinely curious

#

Isnt it temporary?

copper lark
#

nope!

#

its a permanant event just like the nier raids are gonna be

hasty kernel
#

Huh

#

That makes more sense then

copper lark
#

i wish the ffxv event was permanent

serene tulip
#

I'm at 1/3rd the MGP needed for my archodeamon horns

copper lark
#

yall ever get so dehydrated that you lose ur voice

#

im-

buoyant frigate
#

go drink some water

copper lark
#

my pc is also running at 44 degrees c rn so

#

maybe thats an issue

serene tulip
#

sounds like syd needs a break time

copper lark
#

syds a pro gamer

#

you cant stop them

serene tulip
#

Get some water, pour half of it on your computer. two birds one stone!

copper lark
#

any hydration i get immedietly gets turned into tears due to shadowbringers

serene tulip
#

mmm

copper lark
#

oce! that doesnt sound healthy for my big slow boy!

serene tulip
#

in which case you should have some electrolytes too

#

need to replace that salt

copper lark
#

quick. someone find me a white mage

#

that should give me more than enough salt

serene tulip
#

dohohoho

buoyant frigate
#

A real pro gamer knows that they need to stay hydrated to be at the top of their game

copper lark
#

ah jeez

#

you got me

serene tulip
#

You can't play games if you pass out

copper lark
#

can someone tell me why lilac purple is under the red dyes

buoyant frigate
#

People have always done the color purple dirty 😔

copper lark
#

theres a whole selection of purple though

buoyant frigate
#

Wh. What

serene tulip
#

dunno why you'd need anything but grape purple!

#

of course its night time

#

:I

#

can't take any glamor shots

buoyant frigate
#

Djkkjfdafgjkds

copper lark
#

on that topic actually

#

the new coat i got yesterday

#

as soon as i got a good glamour, i changed the coat lol

serene tulip
#

what do you mean got a good glamour?

copper lark
#

when i was asking yall for advice lol

#

as soon as i was done doing that, i reglamoured my armour whoops

#

look. i really love the uraeus coat

ionic viper
#

ohhhh i love that one

serene tulip
#

I am now halfway to my archodeamon horns :3

copper lark
#

:O nice

#

ive wanted those but. my little catgirl doesnt suit them

#

the only problem with this coat, is my hair clips through it

hasty kernel
#

Looks like just one little stab would kill your character

copper lark
#

if she does get stabbed someone is doing something wrong

#

protect your healers everyone

#

i never understood that actually

#

to protect healers,,, surely they should get more than a robe

hasty kernel
#

I mean also true

#

I guess my bigger complaint is that only the female characters tend to get skimpy armour

#

Where is my shirtless shirt

#

Huh, that could be a brandname

#

Shirtless shirt

ionic viper
#

ffxiv tends to be pretty decent about that

#

most of the stuff that's skimpy is skimpy for both male and female characters

hasty kernel
#

That is good

copper lark
#

this coat is solely glamour equipment

#

so i did this to her myself lol

tropic garden
#

✨ glamour ✨

copper lark
#

also sparrow me and my friend are considering moving to spriggan for lag reasons and housing lol

#

we hate ffxiv economy and need a new world to even consider getting a house

ionic viper
#

idk how much luck you'll have

copper lark
#

yeah

#

im honestly starting to give up on our dream of having a house rooCry

ionic viper
#

also help now that i have the full game i have like seven billion level 35 job quests to do lmao

hasty kernel
#

Look on the bright side Syd

#

Its realistic

copper lark
#

my haurchefant portrait will stay in my pocket..... forever

#

ffxiv economy goes from being realistic to one guy single handedly breaking the materia market

#

that guy did make materia cheaper on malboro tho so big ups

#

also sparrow im praying for u

hasty kernel
#

Uh

#

That still sounds realistic to me

copper lark
#

fdfbkjfgd

#

if someone could break the dye market id be grateful xx

#

please stop selling one pot of dye for 6000 gil

ionic viper
#

which dye is it?

serene tulip
#

my favorite is the market board selling crafting materials for significantly more than you can buy them from merchants

copper lark
#

oh i was just saying in general

#

dye is unnecessarily expensive

serene tulip
#

Final Fantasy XIV Armor: Heavy full platemail chest, arms and helmet. Armored knees and shins and feet. Short skirt and thigh high tights.

#

plateskirt and jeans was such a 90's look

ionic viper
#

stylish

copper lark
#

my throat hurts from screaming at ffxiv

#

everyone is so dumb

#

shadowbringers is family counsellor simulator

serene tulip
#

Sometimes I would read books

#

and be like, "How are these characters so dumb? How are these characters so bad at communicating"

#

I don't anymore

copper lark
#

prepare for shb. communication goes through the floor

serene tulip
#

I noticed that women have heeled sandals when they don't have shoes equipped

#

and I was all prepared for guys to be barefoot

#

and be all, "Sexism D:"

#

but they have sandals too

copper lark
#

feet not allowed

serene tulip
#

and while the sandals don't have a distinct heel like the sandals women have

#

they aren't exactly flat either

copper lark
#

the way it should be

#

ive had to take a break from ffxiv

#

because i got so annoyed i swore at my computer and thats. really

serene tulip
#

also do you know how I can get it to take off all the dumb notifications when I log in about achievements and stuff

copper lark
#

a sign i gotta stop

#

uhh

#

perhaps in settings?

#

ill dig around

ionic viper
#

it's in settings, yes

#

character config > ui settings

copper lark
#

epic

serene tulip
#

I didn't even know that those settings existed

#

Thanks!

okay i've decided scholar in low level dungeons is the single most boring experience i've ever had
