2021 just had to get one last groin punch in on all of us.

Rest in peace Betty White. Damn, this sucks. She was such a fantastic human being.

Yeah, it's a shame. It was clearly very sudden since she was literally just talking about how great she was doing and how much she was looking forward to her 100th birthday next month. I'm curious as to what happened to say the least.

The pandemic didn't affect my new year's eve plans at all!

....Yay.

I used another fantasia (bad habits), but I experienced that thing about not being able to edit my character this afternoon. I had logged in not too long prior, and thought I still had time. Unfortunate. Not really happy about not being able to actually do anything until late tonight, the measure seems arbitrary to me, but whatever.

Not sure what I want to switch to. I am leaning on switching back to my au ra, but then I feel like I wasted my last fantasia purchase, because I didn't really create any new outfits as a viera, and typically I like to make outfits after a fantasia. Could also try face 2, maybe as a xaela (?), but I don't know. There is typically only one look I like for my Au Ra, and that is my face 1 preset. I have tried the other faces in the past. I could also just fall even more into bad habits and switch to a miqo'te - one of the easiest to make outfits for, they look decent in many hairstyles I have, AND I love their hempen top.. That or try midlander again, I do have a previous preset for that. It would have no issues with tail clipping, or getting their ears cut off. I just seriously doubt I would last more than two days as one, due to the run animation.

Yeah, I know I always say this is my last one, but this is a process. Fantasia addiction is a process, and I am still trying to ween myself off of it. Viera just isn't in a state I can justify playing permanently. There aren't enough hairs. Too many of their hairs clip with everything, or make you look like every other viera.. Well, just more of the same concerns I've voiced before. I do also have a rava preset I made, but it pretty much just looks like my veena. I had considered that switch before too, but felt it would also be a complete waste of a fantasia, since the changes would be so minor. A rava would still have the same issues: the limitations. I'll have to keep a close eye on a hair update, before I waste another one for viera. This time I won't say it's my last one, because if viera did get a nice hair update, I probably will switch back, but also, I suspect if I switch to anything other than my usual raen, I'll switch back to that raen not long after that fantasia as well. It's a vicious cycle.

I have been too preoccupied waiting on Daivadipa, and my own procrastination, even though I still "need" to farm one myself. I could use the accessories of course, I'm more interested in the mount (to have) though. I kind of don't like that I got a free clear, to be honest. I like the aspect of progging towards a clear. Yeah, I can just join prog parties, but it's not the same. The fight is pretty routine otherwise. Unfortunate, for your connection issues, that sounds like a nightmare particularly for that one.

Belated, but still a happy and healthy, new year.

Late Happy New Year to all y'all as well! I had a lovely date day and night with my GF. We wound up playing, "What
s That Meme!" With her sisters for two hours after the ball dropped in our time zone.

Back to work now and it's slow. Very slow. I'm on the verge of leaving this job. Haven't found a suitable replacement though.

Armored up in A mix of Pandy Normal and crafted gear, ready to raid Pandaemonium Savage. Little sad about Betty White. Also doing a playthrough of Fire Emblem PoR and RD with my brother before he goes back home next week.
