Soooooo I accidentally did my first raids roulette today. It's... not that scary actually. I've soloed every raid I've unlocked so far unsync'd(aside from Alphascape 4.0). Ended up in Deltascape 1.0 and nothing interesting really happened. We also killed it a lot faster than expected, I'm assuming due to ilvl creep.

Yeah, raid roulette is most of the time not that bad. Though there are a few fights you will find yourself wary of after a while, just because they have a higher chance of things going wrong.

The main fights in raid roulette that trip people up seem to be A9 (the Refurbisher, because people try to ignore the generators) and O11 (Omega, because the Starboard/Larboard mechanic still gets people). Sometimes E5 (Eden Ramuh, just because there's a lot going on) and P3 (not-Phoenix, because it's just a visually badly-designed fight, all the colors blend together and make it hard to see what's happening).

I tend to get Eden Titan, E1N, Exdeath or that one Alexander trial with the monkey/bird puddles a lot in my NM Trial roulettes.

I haven't done any roulettes in quite a while. Been mostly playing other games. Minecraft with my GF at her behest. I'd never played it before then. Elden Ring. Just finished a STR/Faith playthrough, which was my favorite so far, well almost as favorite as the RL1 playthrough. Pokemon as mentioned before.

When I was still running roulettes in XIV though, the raid fight I seemed to get most often was E7. The whole White-Black debuff swapping with the portals. That one seemed to take more tries than others quite often.

Struggling with finding a new job outside of that. Starting to realize that online applications are all bot filtered, and I'm being requested to apply for jobs I don't actually have qualifications for. I apply to some of them anyway, because why not? Considering going back to school, but a trade school. Sitting on plenty in the bank, but it won't last forever. Especially not with the economy being the way it is currently.

I admit it, I cried at the end!



I did have a lot of fun though I hope there is another chapter.

O11 (Omega, because the Starboard/Larboard mechanic still gets people).

To be fair, the localizers really screwed us there. In other languages it's just called "left laser" and "right laser" or something along those lines. The big takeaway was that just about every other langrage uses left and right.

Online applications are hell. A lot of places use bots to automatically filter them, and they often look for VERY specific qualifications that most people won't fit, or will automatically dismiss applications where there has been a huge gap between jobs (even if there's good reasons such as pregnancy, becoming the caregiver for a family member, you were hospitalized in a body cast, etc). The system itself is very much crap, and a lot of businesses still use it for whatever reason.

Tried out PSO2 on my laptop. Can handle it at max settings, but it uses more power than my charging cable can bypass, so I have to lower the graphics just so I can play the game without it draining too much power, lol.

2 weeks in the pen is easy.

I thought it was too quiet around here.
