    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    DA I mean this genuinely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodicy Broadly, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" is a topic that's been debated for literally thousands of years (at least). And how/where God fits into that (if they do). I don't know if you've seen the term before, but...

    Apple will never satisfy my lust for cheap, powerful hardware

    For technical reasons, please just choose something other than MP3. Like, just about anything else. MP3 is really old, and there's lots that's both better quality, and smaller size at the same time than MP3.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Any good "how to get into crafting" guides out there? I have a 19 weaver from way back when, and all I remember is an insane number of subcombines, and not being able to actually find all my raw materials in one easy place. Had me running all over Ul'dah to find crap. Any guide that says "you...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Then there's an NPC girl you take them to IIRC. But you may be past this already, it's been 24 hours.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    What's the name? Hint: if it's the one on the Azim Steppe, the guy is on the hill over top of things. If you're looking underneath the cliff, he's on TOP of it. This quest: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Search_for_Lord_Hien Vertical considerations are a thing for many quests...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Ask Dirona about this. She was at somewhere similar when she restarted, and is "done" now, so she'll be able to give you a better time estimate.

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Palace of the Dead (PotD) as well as Heaven on High (HoH) don't work exactly like that. What happens is that you have 2 "save slots" for each of those. You can either reset and enter at level 1, or you can queue as what you were in as last time using that slot. The difference though is that...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Got through the non-savage Stormblood 8-man raiding this weekend. Omega down! I've glanced at the savage versions. Eep? Honestly, doesn't seem worth it, as all the gear will be trivialized by Shadowbringers anyways, so I'd rather raise alts up anyways! I think I'll have more fun that way.

    What are you playing?

    For whatever reason this brought to mind the whole "Deliberately bad New Slurm" from Futureama: WoW Classic?

    What are you playing?

    There were a number of reasons why I quit WoW (in late 2005), but that was a prominent one, and how they were defending the idea of "shard-specific bags" and other bullshit. I'm glad it eventually went away, but the whole attitude itself felt toxic. That said, if people have fun with WoW...

    [Brazelton] RIP Tim Conway

    Him as a dentist will forever live on as one of the best skits I've ever seen. Prior to that, I don't think I'd ever seen the other comedians on-stage breaking up on-camera as badly as the guy in the chair did. He couldn't stop laughing either. I consider it legendary that Tim didn't break...

    Ever do a life reset?

    I imagine the largest parallel is those who were settling between continents in the earlier half of the 20th century (or before) where "long distance contact" wasn't a think. Like at all. Letters, if you're lucky. That generation is basically all dead now, but their children live on, and...

    Nintendo Switch Thread

    They did a "blind team race" of Mario Maker 1 levels at GDQ last year that was GLORIOUS. They had teams of 3, all of whom had never seen the levels they were racing on, so when your teammate (or your rival's team) died, it was hugely beneficial to be seeing what they did or did not do to try...
