Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[PirateRyanG]

I've been trying my best to stay out of Gen Discussion because I've been personally attacked twice already but I unfortunately am morbidly curious sometimes. It's a bad habit to have in this day and age.

People get mad over the most insignificant and vacuous of things.

Somehow...somewhere...after I had spent 6 years in college and 3 years looking for work, I come back to a time where snark remarks and sarcasm are a form of humor instead of a type of insult. -waves old cane- back in my day! It used to be the other way around!

I wonder if anyone knows what an actual joke is anymore? I sure as hell don't anymore since a lot of what people find funny are constantly synonymous with insults.

I think it is just this forum in general.

There is a small contingent of people on this forum that are unreasonably angry at absolutely everything. They post 24/7 too, which makes this website seem incredibly toxic.

I wouldn't worry about it. I stepped away for a couple of days as there was a couple of people following me from thread to thread just to attack me. Apparently, any negative comments about the game are 'trolling' in their eyes, and they will hammer you down with non-sensical arguments and abuse.

I actually suggest that you stick around and ignore them.

Well, you have places inspired by Yasumi Matsuno works, so Palace of the Dead and the Ivalice Raids. You also could argue Bozja's there to emulate the more war-torn areas. Otherwise, imagine traditional european medieval fantasy settings. Palaces, churches, battlefields and so on. Could also go for a brown approach like, places whose main colour tends to be a bit on the brown side.

One thing I suggest is at least going to youtube to check up sone videos on the thing and take a decent feel for the aesthetic Matsuno and his team went for. Thankfully, FF14's team is inspired by his works, either directly (some worked in those projects) or indirectly (Yoshida's reason for joining Square Enix was to one day work with Matsuno). So quite a fair bit of the game can fit.

Character-wise, his stuff doesn't stray too far from what you see in the Ivalice games and in-game Ivalice raids. Or you can go full Dragoon and emulate Ravness, best girl.

Seriously buddy anything FireMage says you just need to throw right out the door and not take him seriously. You raised some good points and he is just moron.

What a fun time to get the flu.

Got it Sunday while at work, felt it throughout the day, left a bit early, came home and checked temp to find a lovely 103F on the reading screen. Been sleeping most of yesterday, and today starts the sprints to the toilet.

Joy. Beats having food poisoning though.

Edit: almost forgot. I tried that Fruit Quake Mountain Dew. It...tastes like gumdrops but wrong. I couldn't finish the bottle and just ended up dumping the rest down a sink.

I wonder if they banned the Eureka bots in that banwave?

Yeah I just got sick again myself. It was just a scratchy throat and a light cough....

now I'm coughing like I'm dying and my voice is gone. At least the fever lasted only one day.

What's worse is that now that I'm mostly over it, the ear pressure won't go away and it's driving me nuts.

That is all.
