So my carelessness decided for me today. I meant to purchase a fantasia for my alt, to sate my addiction, and try out a new veena look for her I made in the creator (was gonna actually try out floppy ears for once!). Instead I bought the fantasia on my main, so I guess after I do the MSQ tomorrow I'll just switch back to miqo'te.. That fantasia in my mail will be burning a hole through it as long as it's sitting there anyway. What a waste. I actually opened up a ticket to try and get a refund for it - if I even could - but that website is a complete and utter mess. Probably one of the worst experiences with support for any game I have ever seen..

Anyway, I decided against a refund ultimately, because I am sure I'd probably just buy it during the summer anyway, especially when that new hairstyle comes out (if not tomorrow).. I also read that if they did do refunds it was a one time thing, and a $10 fantasia is a pretty trivial purchase. Not worth wasting that on. I honestly don't even know how to feel, happy or sad, because it sates my fantasia addiction, but in doing so I failed my fantasia rehab - and would have regardless since I was still going to actively waste money on my alt.

I spent a short amount of time and did some surveys (lol) during downtime yesterday, and a bit while I was afk - you can do them on your phone - and I made back the money spent on the fantasia (and more!) deposited into my paypal. So that's cool.. So... I uhh.. I don't actually want to fantasia off of viera, but what the heck am I supposed to do with this spare fantasia.. I need to dump off this fantasia and I don't know what to do with it. I might contact support chat later and see if I can transfer it to my alt, but I don't think they do that either, so probably just stuck with this. This isn't going to work for me.. I need to either use it or dump it..



Having it just sit in my inventory or mail won't work either. It's gotta go.

I've been so busy with the Moogle event since it started, but I've been loving it too. This maintenance finally gives me a reason to take a break, lol. But wow, I've been skimming through a lot of forum posts that I missed out on, but thankfully, nothing much that I feel like commenting on except for one direct response.

don’t dump it! save it for a rainy day! (or even better, join us in lala-land )

seriously though, dont dump it. I’m pretty sure eventually you’re gonna REALLY want a change again (especially if viera don’t get an overhaul come 6.9) and this way you wont have wasted a fantasia and wont have to buy a new one due to tossing this one out. let it sit for a lil bit, but not like an indefinite thing y’know?

Yeah.. but this is me when I see a fantasia..



Dumping it would be a waste..

6.9?!

Though at the rate we're going now I could see it.

OMG i meant 6.0!

Thank you guys for being wholesome and not garbage.


That is all, lol.
Everytime some drama happens on Reddit or social media I am reminded of how I can actually read this forum without getting a headache.
And that is basically always.

Edit: Since I recently found out that this bakery is apparently unknown to most I feel like it is my duty to inform you all of Semlor.





I never realized it was more of a Scandinavian thing, we even have a day for them in Sweden where we eat them lol ( I remember it from school too, even there ).

Found out from this video from Tasting History, I really like his channel since I like both history and food: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ljm5i5N6WQ
The original is totally different which I had no clue about either, but I want to try it.

Do you guys have any dishes or bakery you found out was more of a native thing to where you live?
I've been finding out about a lot of these things from Sweden that I just kinda took for granted.

Kalops is one of my favorite dishes and I had no clue it was a Swedish and Finish dish either.

Uhh, as far as I know, the US's cuisine is all just bastardizations/reimaginings of other place's cuisines, usually with better ingredients but less authenticity or disputed origins with European countries.

Love me a good hamburger though. Even better if it's a bison burger!

[VelKallor]

Got the Skallic and Lost Allagan sets, got all three cards (yes, yes, I know, no Im a loooong way from that card mount lol ) got the doggo and the disembodied head, all the earrings.

I used to think that a moogle was a flying dumpling..now? Nah, theyre okay.
