Nah not anymore, now you spend a day or so building some convoluted excel calculator once so that you never need to do the calcs again.

Then, 3 years later when you go to add or change something in that calculator, you have absolutely no idea how it works and decide the change wasn’t that important anyway.

Engineer: 2, but 3 to be safe.

I can move my leylines.

I’ve never been so happy.

Man the name of the dish is so not the point of this community. I stand by Lemmy in present state is far worse than reddit for pedantic or toxic behavior.

It looks really good OP, nice job! I’d eat it regardless of what you called it.

I’d like to hear about a long-term plan. I’ve heard things such as level 100 will be the final level cap. I’ve heard about potentially making 7.0 a “second start point” to make the game more accessible to future players as the story continues to grow. I want to know if they’re going to continue adding 2 jobs per expansion because it seems like at this point continuing that level of growth will be too much.

I’m hoping we get some confirmation around the future of the game. It’s an old game. Talking pure craziness here, maybe it makes sense for 7.0 to be FFXIV’s final expansion, but they have a way to export your character into FFXVII or something like that.

I dunno! But I hope to hear more about the distant future.

Spotify like many others here. Just haven’t had many issues with the program and it does what I want for a reasonable price.

Wanna give a big shout out to Nebula. It’s meant to be a YouTube-esque site but solely for educational content. I found it via LegalEagle but it has a ton of documentaries and other educational content creators. I believe my subscription is $5/year or something like that. Just insanely cheap for really high quality content.

I have the Disney+/Hulu bundle. I love Disney movies and with all the franchises they own now I feel it’s worthwhile. Hulu happens to have quite a few of my favorite shows and the bundle made it worthwhile to me.

Currently trying out YouTube premium and, I know this won’t be a popular opinion, but I think it’s worth it to me. I use a lot of YouTube and also chromecast it. While it’s possible for me to get ad blocked YouTube for free on mobile and cast it to my TV it’s… Cumbersome and unstable. I generally have the opinion that I don’t mind paying for services I enjoy using so… For now, gonna stick with YouTube premium. Just so much less of a headache.

AmazonPrime but only for Amazon’s services really, the few shows that are on Prime Video for free are a nice bonus though.

And currently I pay for Netflix and share it with my family but the very first second Netflix cracks down on that I’m dropping it and have told my family as such for years. Already started torrenting most shows I kept up with via Netflix in preparation.

The only other one I consider is HBO… But there just hasn’t been enough of an allure thus far.

How much I play tends to vary from patch to patch. I have rather limited free time these days and so it can be difficult.

Primarily I play for the story. I absolutely love the story and I truly believe Shadowbringers and Endwalker had an impact on me as a person and gave me new perspectives on life. Just a beautifully told story, great characters, awesome themes, cannot say enough good about it.

However I’d hardly call myself a casual player. I enjoy raiding but haven’t managed to finish a full tier on patch yet, primarily due to time. My schedule isn’t very conducive to joining a static and I simply don’t have the time to prog via PF. I hope that one day I will finally finish a tier though lol. This past tier I got through P7S but it took me so long to finally find a PF that could clear 7 that 8 just wasn’t in the cards for me.

Aside from raiding I generally just derp around and relax. Decorating my house, doing my island sanctuary, mount hunting, crafting, nothing is really off limits. Most of the time I just pick some goal (like all tanks to 90) and go for it until I lose interest in the game and then I wait for the next patch.

If I do join back up I’ll probably resume my leveling of PRanged via finishing all side quests in the game. That was really fun for me : ) but atm I’ve been obsessed with learning chess so we’ll see when I pick my favorite game back up. If I just won my housing auction it’ll be more likely that I return lol. Part of why I lost interest is that during the break before 6.4 I went 60 days without logging in, lost my house, and proceeded to have like no inventory space. To my own surprise not having a house and being so inventory limited really hurt my own motivation to play.

I main Black Mage and I’d like to think I’m pretty decent at it, often parsing in the upper 80’s last tier. Been maining BLM since FFXI and it’s just comfy for me. FF is the only series that I think gets the idea of black mage correct.

Came to Lemmy from reddit.

Time to check the auction!
