Going to a chocolate festival near Boston tomorrow. Decided to look up what else was nearby, because hey, it's almost a two hour drive, might as well make a day of it. Put in "Gundam" on Google Maps to see if there were any hobby stores near the venue.

It tried to give me walking directions from there to the Gundam Factory in Yokohama.

Um. Might be a little far.

I'm not sure how you'd be able to magically walk on water unless you employ Urianger's trick.

I wanna chocolate festival in Florida! All we get are Strawberry Festivals and people coming here to die of old age or party until they puke *pouts*

Mighty may just even be able to pull it off better and longer than Urianger did too....

Mighty if you try I'LL BE ROOTING FOR YOU!

Watched 'The Terminator' last night. Haven't watched it in probably a decade+. Some of the acting/special effects/pacing haven't aged well, but it's still a great movie.

I need new tires on my car at the same time as I need new shoes for my feet. Is my car copying me when I'm not looking?

I've reached Master Levels in FFXI. It makes me both happy and sad. They legitimately increase your combat skill potential and attributes, but you go from grinding capacity points to grinding exemplar points, and as far as I know, there are no exemplar points EXP bands and so you go from earning 65535 cap points per kill to earning barely 700 Exemplar points per kill, and as of Master Level 3, the TNL Master Level 4 is already 11000+

Someone on an XI forum told me eventually a Master Level TNL becomes a SEVEN DIGIT number. Oiiii veyyyyyyy

Oof. The King is dead, boys and girls. Looks like Theodoric's temp ban became permanent

What a shame. He brought a refreshingly different point of view to the forum, even if the past couple of years have had a sour disagreement over XIV's story. He posted here often, and often talked about other games too. Posted interesting shots from his nature walks. Truly an individual worth interacting with.

It's a shame the optics for this ban are sour too. Off the cusp of him posting a bunch of Encyclopedia Eorzea 3 pages related to that same sour story beat. Makes it seem vindictive, rather than rule bound.

Then again, the ToS for this forum are so vague, I could probably get banned for just talking about it so...

Here's to you, Theodoric. *clinks glass* Thanks for keeping this forum from being an echo chamber. Thanks for making cool characters. Thanks for making people who also felt a distaste for Endwalker's story feel a little more sane and a little less lonely.
