So I moved to Balmung a couple days ago and I've not been assaulted by a Female Au Ra with a huge weapon yet. Frankly I'm disappointed. I thought it was the degeneate capital of FFXIV? I even waited around the Quicksand and everything.

I moved to balmung on an alt, bunny girl at that and nothing. I think if you go looking for it it'll never happen. Balmung is witty like that.

Nah...I just need to try harder. Maybe if I was naked this time? I would say I could do Bee's Knees while naked but that is so...desperate.

You Bee's Knees in the Ul'dah Inn. Supposedly, it's actually a different world that it's more prevalent in. Forgot which one.

But I don't WANNA Bee's Knees! Bee's Knees was a mistake! Truly sexy people do Manderville Mambo and I can't be convinced otherwise.

Four Job Fiesta for FF5 is definitely a challenge. Started it last week, and holy crap have I been learning how to survive here, with no aoe heals in the group and just a Time Mage for Rod breaking and healing with Healing Staff. Made it to the final 1/3rd of the game, but what a trip man...

Well, this is officially the most I've spent on a single model kit. The HMM Gojulas has finally been dethroned.

I hope they keep the cheesy sides of Dragons Dogma, that pop song at the start is awesome lol.
It added a lot of charm to the game.

They originally took it out with the Dark Arisen version of the game. But what replaced it was pretty good and fit the themes of the game.

There's a mod to change it back. Also I'm totally stoked for DD2.

Trying to get my good friend from XIV and sort of XI to do a co-op playthrough of Elden Ring with me. Not that mod. Just the base game co-op. He's kind of in a weird funk mentally though, so he keeps saying, "Maybe tomorrow." *sigh* We had a blast back in 2017 co-oping through Scholar of the First Sin. It was actually the final rung of the ladder I used to get out of my 6 year depression. I hope he gets to feeling OK soon. I wanna make him laugh when we get killed by the harder bosses.

In the interim I had the sudden urge to replay Pokemon Yellow. I thought I was gonna stick it through and through with Pikachu like when I was a kid, but his statistical deficiencies eventually had me replace him with the Eevee from Celadon City(who has higher stats at the same level with no training AND can be evolved into one of the base Eeveelutions in this case Jolteon for a 1 to 1 straight up better rep). I never had the strongest connection to Pikachu, though I did LOVE the anime growing up. As a kid, Yellow gave me significant difficulty, because I'd been introduced to the Rare Candy glitch early on, so I only really had a process for the first 5 cities in the game, after which, it was time to dupe the hell outta Rare Candy and make my team level 100.

I still remember my first Yellow playthrough, as it was my only Yellow playthrough as a kid. I had an overly leveled Pikachu the whole game, who always had Quick Attack, thanks Anime. Then I had the three OG starters that the game gives you for training Pikachu well / beating Lt. Surge. Fully evolved, but I had never trained for real, so they were all in the low 40s by the time I got through Victory Road. I also had a Fearow that I caught to replace something, iirc on the way to Victory Road (or at least before the cave section?).

Through copious amounts of resets, and the potions you find all throughout the game that I had never used, sold, or thrown away, I managed to beat the Elite Four. Then immediately went back to Red and Blue until I got Silver.
