The Lochs just makes me think of that statue that everybody seems to call Theodric instead of Theodoric.

The reason why you should complete Sightseeing Logs

[Theodric]

I still need to get around to finishing the ARR version of the Sightseeing Log someday...

I did complete the HW, SB and ShB versions though. I'm using these paintings at the moment:

I want to wear a maiko outfit, full ensemble.
For those who may not be familiar with
maiko are apprentice geisha specific to kyoto and a small few other cities that have active geisha districts, elsewhere they are called hangyoku

The reason why is because I was thinking of starting a linkshell with other geisha enthusiasts to rp with. tea ceremonies, ikebana, dances, music playing, etc.
also why there is no shamisen in game for bard to play yet is kind of :C

November seems to be a month of bad luck for me. Now my (admittedly old) Laptop stopped working. With a new one on its way, I wanted to upgrade from Office 2010 to 2021, as I'm not a fan of the abo version 365. However, 150€ for just Word, Excel and PowerPoint? Man...



Seeing Housing stuff makes me a little sad. Ever since 2015, I have wanted Ishgard Housing and stocked up suitable furniture in one retainer. However, with the changes to relocation and being a working adult, I fear that I won't be able to get any Ishgard Plot (small, I leave the bigger ones for FCs).

Yeah, I heard about this recently in some other thread. I don't really see myself running around trying to get a plot, and the bigger plots will probably become near impossible to get in popular locations, and populated servers. I put in a lot of time for my little small, but I don't really see me putting in a huge amount of time trying to get a bigger one. I guess if they implement that lottery system, I'll use it, but I doubt I'll ever win anything, having the worst luck imaginable. Yeah, it's a defeatist attitude, but I will still try if I have the gil. Pretty disappointed though. These aren't really optimal housing solutions, in my opinion.

The Ebony Warrior will be faced soon!

It's taking far longer than I care to admit, and I can't remember the last time I burnt hours away in an Elder Scrolls game like this. Probably not since the release of Shivering Isles in Oblivion. God, just the fact that the house with Haskill burnt away into butterflies or whatever to show the Shivering Isles night sky to me on my first playthrough of that... I don't think I put Oblivion down for about 30 solid hours that session. I miss that night sky box, probably one of the most beautiful that's in my memory banks.

And to think, they didn't set it up to always been night there, so a lot of people just have the house burn away and Shivering Isles look mundane and dirty depending on the direction you're looking.

That moment when you're no longer satisfied with your house build and start planning your next one for the fc.
That moment when you realize other fc members have been throwing in their furnishings their retainers have brought back for them onto the estate floor.
That moment when you realize there's almost no available space nor storage left to put all of that junk away so you can separate what you need for the next build.
That moment when you're planning the new build and realize how much of an absolute PITA the glitching will be and brace yourself to think ahead on it.
That moment when you realize you'll have to pull in alts to store all of that junk on just to make room.
That moment when your mother then comes in and tells you your twin sister might be getting a divorce from your bother-in-law for being absolutely nuts.
That moment when you completely forget your build because of it.

My week just keeps getting better and better.
