please tell me you have at least one picture of this?? it sounds super idyllic and beautiful.

I do! I took a few:

Scotland

Very pretty!

Nothing close to where I live is that scenic. Well, at least that I can think of, hehe.

I went to Greece once, about 12 years ago.

I mostly wound up photographing animals/pets and scenery.

Is it sad that since I haven’t been able to log in to XIV in a while (few days), I’ve been regularly lurking in forum threads to get a somewhat sense of satisfaction?

I tripped over my ethernet cable and broke it, so I have no internet on my PC until thursday, and this happened sunday. AAAAAGH.

Yup, very cute cats! I adore cats in general. I've one myself - she's very affectionate and friendly. She likes sitting on the bookcase next to my PC and watches me play FFXIV from time to time.

I've mostly been idling in-game lately, though. I plan to fill the time between now and the expansion by slowly working my way through all of the 5.0 relic weapons and polishing off various achievements that aren't too terrible to pursue.

I guess I'll be more in the right mindset for that when the May patch is out, though.

Ever heard a song that hits waaay different than it should the second time around you hear it?

Was playing nba2k with my brother yesterday and one of the songs that was playing was Control by Aaron Taos. The way the lyrics fit perfectly in the times we live in made check the released date and it came out in 2018.


Either this guy predicted it or it's just eerily coincidental.

Edit: I guess now that I think about it, this song was more sbout depression and/or anxiety, which both subjects are unfortunate byproducts of Covid :/

There’s plenty of songs that are like that! Handlebars by the flobots was it for me. Before I used to view it as a third-person narrative (never really related to it but saw it as a cool story of how anyone can be corrupted, they all start off as kids riding bikes with no handlebars), but found myself relating to it a little bit years later and viewed it more as a 1st person narrative.

Dwarves are the best beast tribe ever. Second are Pixies.

Have to say Im enjoying myself, decided to have a go at some of the older ARR recipes, and oddly enough, was actually ABLE to get my hands on some of the more esoteric mats LOL...Ive made a few of the Round weps for glamour...crafting is a BLAST.

A shiny PLD and a DRK with a lightblade...whats not to love?

Beautiful scenery!
I want to visit Scotland one day and will definitely go hiking there. From the pictures I've seen over the years it has some spectacular views.
Might take a while until things have calmed down though.. we have a full lockdown here with curfew between late evening and early morning hours. It's strange to see such a big and lively city become a complete ghost town after a certain time of the day.
