Off Topic Discussion Megathread

My first and one of the few PvP experiences I had in FFXIV was both negative and positive.
It was negative because we had an elitist MCH who was being very try-hard and acted like it was a premade, and like the second we were about to lose I went Leeroy Jenkis ( because why not we had already lost duh ).
And the MCH saw it and went completely mental about it and turned me into the scapegoat why we had lost and started claiming that I had been doing that the entire match and that's why we lost ( I was the second highest rank on our team, so wat? ).
I only did it at the very end when we had already lost rofl, the entire time I had been following the group as a Healer.
He also started blaming the other Healer too.

People actually whispered me afterwards tho and said that I did a good job and shouldn't listen to him, and it was multiple people so it outweighed the bad one.
And I did think that PvP was surprisingly better than I had heard.
I dunno what it is with the FFXIV community but I think people are very negative about all of the content.
A lot of Streamers new to FFXIV will skip stuff like Bozja because people make it sound like a Korean MMO grindfest and like it's absolutely horrible, Mikepreachwow tried it and he loved it.
It was so good it made him do a video almost revolving entirely around it and why he thinks that type of endgame is better than the endgame in WoW.

Same with Palace of the Dead, Eureka and even the story.
If you listen to the loud ones on the forums and in comment sections you'd get the impression that the story is horrible and that you should just skip.
There's so many examples I can think of where people told me some content in FFXIV sucked and then I tried it and enjoyed it a lot, and I've seen so many Streamers having the same experience too.
A lot of people seem to act like if it's not perfect then it's literal torture.

That moment when you cook bacon in the microwave the day before and the whole house still smells like bacon the next day.

Sounds like an aromatherapy device set on a timer, only better.

Odd part is that whenever I bake cookies, cake or even pastries, the smell doesn't linger as long as bacon does in my house. Maybe there's a spirit in my house that loves bacon and makes it stay longer.

I always wonder why things like meat and eggs are so... pungent. My mom always has to turn on the electric chimney and the exhaust fan in the kitchen when any of those is cooked. Especially eggs... gah, they leave a stink in the breath and the dishes.

As far as eggs go, it's because they have iron and sulfur in them, which have strong odors.

Meat contains some level of bacteria and other microbes which produce aromas when cooked. Also when the meat rots.

Hah. So, in 2019, while on a trip to Japan, I found the Zoids HMM Berserk Fury in a shop in Akihabara. It was one of the ones I really wanted, but due to the size of the box, I passed on it. It would've just taken up too much luggage space and shipping it back to the US would've been pricey. Well, now it's getting reissued, and for forty bucks less than that shop was charging. Sometimes patience works out.

(Yes, yes, the original name is Berserk Fuhrer. I like the dub name Berserk Fury better, it just rolls off the tongue more smoothly.)
