    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Today is a day of celebration, a day of gathering, and a day to give thanks for everyday we take for granted. Such as it is, i wish everyone a safe and relaxing day.

    To you, as well!


    I, myself, will be serving a dodo roaster - which has been bathing in a combination sanitizer/marinade for several days now.

    What's everyone thankful for?! Give the DEVs something to smile about.

    I'm thankful that Yoshida-san's team has seemingly become the personification of a phoenix down on this title, and thankful that the XIV community, however critical, has kept the faith in this game's future long enough to see a beautiful end to 1.X and the roots of A Realm Reborn.

    It's... complicated. A lot of cultures celebrate a bountiful harvest with a feast before the winter months. You tend give thanks to the powers that be for these things.

    In the US, the tradition changed a bit when our harvests were ANYTHING but bountiful and the natives really did us a solid by giving us their surplus and teaching us some survival skills. This would go on to be pretty much the only shining example of colonial - native relations.

    Lincoln made it an official holiday way later and brought the God part front and center, but long story short - winter's coming and everything's dying, so let's all eat a lot and remind ourselves of the good things in life.
