Anyone running windows 11, uninstall KB2565063 immediately. It was starting to corrupt my drive and was causing nasty issues with Helldivers 2. Namely frame dips as low as 18 fps. This was a fucking nightmare until I finally found the update through opting to uninstall. Otherwise it wasn’t there.

In case any assholes do see this and think it’s fragile or weak to get upset over “light teasing”, no. Life doesn’t work like that. Just because something wouldn’t bother you, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t deeply affect someone else. We all have different life experiences. Just be cordial. Simple.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s completely irrelevant if you disagree with someone or not, no matter how strongly you may feel about their opinion. If it’s not something that has real world implications, such as human rights, just leave it alone. Opinions on entertainment should never lead to someone being harmed.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
I know this doesn’t apply to anyone in our community, but just as an overall PSA: Unless someone is being a bigot or something adjacent in that negative context, don’t be an asshole. It’s one of the smallest asks and easiest things in the world to do. Just give others the same respect you expect.

So I did wait an hour to see if the seller would reach out, because that’s a pretty massive loss on their end and I do feel kinda bad about it. They didn’t, so I used it. Too late now! 😅
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, I would be too. I feel a mix of excitement and also kind of terrible, lol. If it was 3.1 mil and they sold it for 310k, wouldn’t feel as bad, but taking a 28 million loss is pretty massive, even with how easy it is to make gil in the game.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
I fuckin’ won 😂😂😂 Just got a 31 million gil mount for 3.1 mil, because the seller forgot to add an extra zero when they put it on the MB

So apparently FF XI works just fine on the Steam Deck, so there really is no reason for it not to be on PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, and Switch 1/2. A lot of XIV players mainly play on console and many of us never played XI. Missed opportunity on Square’s part.

Every class does have a Figmental weapon, but they all look different and all have a joke theme to them. Examples being reaper’s being a scarecrow scythe, viper having a fork and knife, monk using shark fists, dark knight sword that’s flowery and pink, etc.

Honestly would not recommend playing anything really more intense than this on XIV, though, since you have the general server latency, plus the portal latency, to contend with. It’s just enough to where it’ll almost certainly get you killed in higher end content.

I’m not hanging out with them. This is based on posts I’ve seen over the course of the last several years, across multiple different platforms. It’s not a common occurrence, but I have seen at least 4 different people react that way and they were all ultra far left, or at least claimed to be.

Busy day today. Laundry now, packing up a bit later, then a 3 hour drive just to end up basically directly in between Baltimore and DC, which almost certainly means an assload of traffic.

Exactly. Hell, it would be traumatizing enough knowing you hurt or killed someone. It’s not like people are doing it because they want to. From their perspective at the time it’s happening, it’s life or death. Most are going to choose their own life and lives of their people over a burglar.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
99.9% of people are not going to think to ask if the person is there to simply steal or there to cause bodily harm or death. Most people will be terrified and act accordingly. People are not in the wrong for trying to protect themselves and their loved ones.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
There are near-infinite things the right wing says and does that I take issue with, but there are also some things the far left says that irk me. For example, getting mad at victims of home invasion when the perp gets shot. My take: if someone breaks into your house and you blast them, good.

🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
People really shouldn’t base the value of an entire console gen on the 10/10’s released during it. It’s true that past gens had more legendary games, but they also had a load of awful ones, if we’re being objective. We have less legends this gen, but we’re loaded with 7-8’s and that should be ok.

It’s one thing to go over the news and even have an opinion on it, but that guy is one of the most loathsome content creators in the gaming sphere. A truly punchable face, if there ever was one.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s because most people only feel those effects directly. They may hear about other issues on the news, but unless it’s affecting them or someone in their vicinity directly, it won’t really register. When it’s not at the forefront for them, most people won’t care beyond mild sympathy.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
Circumstances and fault don’t matter. Biden was going to get blamed by the general public for the rapid increase in prices that we saw during his term. Same would have happened had it been a republican. It’s baffling me that things are even worse under Trump and people think he’s doing a good job.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
Most people don’t pay adequate attention to politics and simply vote based on how things are personally going for them at the time of election. Knowing that, I understand how Trump won, assuming he did win legitimately. What I can’t understand is how anyone thinks he’s doing a good job. Idiocy.

One thing that kind of bothers me about how delivery works on the Buffalo Wild Wings app, is that you can’t leave a tip and you can’t get the BOGO deal on other apps like Doortrash. I’m all about saving some money, but feels like the driver is getting screwed, because I don’t keep cash on me.

Fuck Trump and his 17 IQ tariffs And also fuck these corporations using his moronic policies to increase their prices on products half a decade old or more, that have never received permanent price drops.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
If you’ve went 5 years into the gen without upgrading, it’s absolutely not necessary to do so now. Just wait 2 years, maybe 3. Get a 10th gen console for what will likely be in the same pricing ballpark.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social) reply parent
The objective fact of the matter is, these corporations could have dropped the price, but chose to leave them where they were for greater profit margins over time. They’re raising them to now to maintain those higher margins to appease shareholders. Don’t buy into their bullshit.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
Not a soul with a functional brain inside their head is going to pay more now for a PS5/5pro, XSX/S, or Switch 1 than what those consoles cost at launch. I understand it’s somewhat outside of their control due to tariffs, but the consoles should have had permanent price DROPS by now anyway.

Like, load times are almost non existent. Cant really improve much there. Visuals have peaked in any capacity that matters. Frame rate could be improved, but that’s not going to sell a $600+ device by itself. Really not sure what they can do that isn’t AI integration.
🌸Legend of Aly🎮 (@alycore.bsky.social)
With the vast majority, if not all, of the games released this gen essentially just being 8th gen games with icing on top, I do kind of worry about how they can possibly make the 10th gen seem worthwhile. They can’t just offer 8th gen games with icing and the addition of sprinkles.

I think it’s reasonable to wish ill on JK Rowling. I had hoped she’d become educated and have a change of heart, but frankly, we’re far beyond the point where it would even matter if she did. She’s caused potentially irreparable damage to an already vulnerable community. She can fuck off and die.
