Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
By Draylo 2025-12-15 21:49:38
are we reading through the same comments?
just scrolled the first couple pages and there was like 1 horizon comment to 50 not.
which if there is 1500 active online players on horizon, retail out numbers them about 10:1 so a 50:1 comment ratio would make pretty good sense.
it is the first comment though, not denying that. but i'm also going to assume horizon players are likely to be more engaged than non-ffxi players or even ffxi players in general
There were 3 of them. They are on every single FFXI video, almost without a doubt. I did have the thought that they are probably bots from the intial funds pushed, but its every single video now of someone trying the game and doing a similar video like this. Some of them engage but most just leave that comment. I couldn't help but think the voice is AI but who knows these days. Judging by the channel itself, seems like the person is trans and not very consistent about their voice masking. But, it could be AI.
Either way, it feels like Horizon stans are camping YouTube just to advertise. It's always the first few comments, somehow. Wouldn't be that surprised if they were advertising bots, tbh. Huh, I didn't get that impression. Usually XIV players who are trans are pretty vocal about it.
Weirdbarbie here has a lotta other labels for themself like, "AudHD" and pronouns listed into the, "They" column. Just seems like a chick that buys into all those kinds of labels. "AudHD" is supposedly, Autistic with ADHD, and this is my first time encountering it (course I don't go around much of the internet as I used too). Also tons of her vids are labeled as being filmed in Edmonton which is the capital of Alberta Canada.
So northern-western Canadian either way.
Enough about that though, about the comments... Since they're coming from the angle of being XIV player first (though their XIV experience seems just as new as their XI experience) there's a lot of XIV players being like, "Oh I always wanted to get into XI! I just never had the time!" or any other list of excuses/"I always loved this game I never played because it's being endorsed now"
Better late than never, I suppose, but it all reeks of insincerity. Maybe I've reached being an old curmudgeon territory though.
I pretty much think the same, they are mostly doing it for content and views. Most have every excuse in the book until they reach the ultimate "it costs a sub" excuse. I think if the game had modern graphics/UI a lot more people would try it, but we are past that atm I guess. That is why it feels like such a backstab to have the games own fans/previous fans try to cannibalize the remaining playerbase lol, its really weird.

So doing Caladbolg making, I was trying to get T1 to change to colorful. It kept bouncing between Feebly and Strongly. Like they were right on top of each other. Kept getting alternating messages.
Whoops, Yilbegan

Lol saw this video pop up. I remember when the force awakens came out how terrible it was and the sequels, and how on BG they were shouting people down saying it was so good, some guy with a kylo ren avatar. And then they said it would be remembered fondly after a while like the prequels are now. Yet a decade later its still terrible. Apparently that idea was pretty wide spread

This week was a good one.
Union promoted a 2 days strike. Despite I still having to work remotely, at least it was 2 workdays at office less (just oneed to go once).
Next two weeks there is no day at office so Im in a good mood.
My playthrough project seemes to be a little more solid, I think Im converging to my best strategy and decent execution.
Maybe the end is near.
Gonna say this for like the 10th time, but maybe I can finish this off this week

Dang…
Palworld new update brought a couple of changes that can potentially change some of my early steps in my playthrough.
Yeah, right when I was about satisfied with my progress, they dropped changes that trivializes some of the most cumbersome stages in my playthrough.
If I had to retcom it, probably I would have to go from day 27 to like day 5 or 6…
Ugh…

Well, I just saw that they nerfed an important exploit I was using up till now.
I guess there is no excuse anymore, this update now formelly annulled like 70% my playthrough.
It will be hard to see how much I can save, but at this point, maybe best to just restart over.

Quote: Effective January 1, 2026, monthly condominium fees will increase by 11.76%.
Those of you thinking about buying a condo:
Don't
I'd sell mine if I could, but housing in Canada is even more expensive. Elbows up!

Isn't there something like a condo board that can be voted out or at least hung?

My plan would be updating the entire playthrough on Youtube, as my debut and first grand serie on there, but it is taking a whole lot of time.

Somehow this reminds me of our now defunct P&R section.

Mog Garden's up to Rank 5, and Monster Rearing is up to rank 3, and I got a blue and white sea monk now :) And actual stat bonuses out of it, to boot!

Well, the latest Palworld update dropped like a bomb on me.
It feels like they are ramping games challenge based on veterans that are already hoarded in every single material.
What is a kick in the nuts for my project to go from zero to hero.
My previous iteration most of the time was spent just building a raid army to beat all raid bosses.
But the latest raid boss would obliterate my ongoing raid army just for the elemental aligment alone. And building another army for that would add something like 10h extra of gameplays just doing repeated stuffs, what wouldnt be fitting in something to play on Youtube.
So, Ive decided to narrow down the scope of my project, focusing on beating everything but the raid bosses.
It is a shame, but building raid armies is just a process of farming materials and breeding pals. There is nothing exciting about this, just a shameless time sink

New return home campaign!

And building another army for that would add something like 10h extra of gameplays just doing repeated stuffs, what wouldnt be fitting in something to play on Youtube. You sound like someone who never played blitzball.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
