  • That sounds like a cool little project! I haven't taken much time to play with the game's internals since I play on console so it isn't really possible, but love to see what people can do with a bit of free time and a curiosity to understand how something works!

    I'm also looking forward to the raid, although largely because I was an FFXI player for over 10 years, so am curious to see which parts of the game they decide to use for the basis of the raids.

  • I've had a quiet week this week. Haven't really ticked much off the to do list other than gaining a few levels on my white mage. Should hit 80 this week and then I can try the 80 poetics weapon @pasty@raru.re suggested for my Aerith glam 😊 Did manage to get two non CT Alliance Raids this week though! (Void Ark and Mhach... but at least they're not CT!)

    For 7.1 I'm going to assume we get our first tribal quests (I've already forgotten what they're rebranded to now 😅), and I reckon it'll be the Pelupelu. Pretty sure they announced them as one of the groups during the DT media tour (I could be wrong there) and given their involvement and proximity with Tuliyollal they seem the most likely choice.

  • I figure brand new major features would be slower in coming. But security would be improved.

    I feel there's going to be an element of "old man yells at cloud" here, but that isn't inherently a bad thing. I just use Windows at work at the moment but there's very little I do in Windows that I couldn't do as far back as Windows XP as long as driver support kept up. I don't use it for the OS, the OS just enables me to use the applications I need.

    Same with MacOS. I know Apple always act like every minor enhancement is the greatest thing ever (look, we added Tabs to Finder 🤩), but ultimately the OS is there to act as the pathway between my applications and my hardware.

    If the focus switched from features to security, would we really lose anything of value? At a minimum I wouldn't have family contacting me cause their PC looks different than it did previously (looking at you centralised Windows taskbar 👀).

  • I assume the extra padding was a function of touch screens becoming more prevalent since trying to hit the 2003 style buttons with a finger was not that easy, although I don't remember offhand when touch first started becoming a thing in Windows so it might have happened the other way around. But either way it's likely still a factor in why the ribbon with its extra padding has stuck around.

  • Hmm, it's not quite what I'm looking for but it's a lot better than a lot of options I've found so far. Thank you for the recommendation 😊 It's something I'll be getting anyway once I hit 80 so will give it a try once I get there!

  • This is as far as I've gotten with it so far. But not happy with the weapon choices I have (right now I'm just using the level 70 poetics weapon cause I just ticked over to 70 last week and haven't bothered to glam it).

  • We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂

  • There's usually Discord servers too that coordinate runs on the different servers if it's something you're wanting to jump into! I haven't does DRS yet but there's a new DRS player group planned for the start of next month on Materia that I'm really thinking about giving a go (especially since it's a weekend where my wife is away so I'll be at home just with the kids so taking over the lounge room for a run wouldn't be a major hassle 😊).

    Congrats on the clear, and the mount!

  • Fun fact as well, if you have one of the custom facades being used on your house and then upgrade to a larger plot, the facade upgrades to the new size as well! So you don't need to say grab a small one initially and then craft a medium one later, it'll just upgrade with the plot.

    Don't think it applies to the piecemeal facades though (not 100% sure on that) where you pick all the individual features.

  • Don't worry, I'm embracing the non-grind mentality

    ❤️

    And yeah, totally understand about the lack of good plots. That being said if you can afford it I'd still recommend getting your foot in the door so to speak with a view to upgrade later when you can, only because it gives you access to the company workshop and submarines, which while it takes months to fully max out eventually becomes a license to print gil with minimal work. And since it does take a while to get to that point, the earlier you start the sooner you'll be done.

    Plus you can unlock workshop crafts to make the new housing facades. They're often a good money maker right when the new patches drop!

  • Games that have already been classified prior to September 22nd aren't affected by this unless they need to go through classification again, however I'm going to laugh if Pokemon Red & Blue are rereleased on the Switch 2 at some point in the future and get slapped with an R18+ rating 😂

  • Urgh, the Zodiac weapons are such a grind 😒 But congratulations on getting it done! Now you can decide if you want to keep it or trade it in to skip a step in the HW relics. Since you're never going to use it for stats these days, and trading it in permanently unlocks the ability to by replicas (if you haven't you need to have the weapon on you to purchase the replicas, so if you lose it for some reason you have to do it all over again), it's usually a good option to pursue.

    And good job on the Ixali - that too is a big grind and I was so happy when it was finally done! Now you can finally get rid of that stupid crafting glove 😅

  • You can always move over to Materia if you want housing, we've still got small plots available for FCs 😊 Probably not the smartest idea if you're not in Australia though...

    I didn't enjoy the variant dungeons enough to bother going through all the routes personally. They felt like a slog. To be fair I did do them solo, would probably be better in a group, but yeah, it wasn't content that grabbed me. I do want to go back to whichever one gives you the giant pixie mount though at some point. Will get to that some day.

    I finally got my last Endwalker role quest done a few weeks ago too! I didn't have a high level melee DPS and picked up Viper after Dawntrail so was finally about to get through it all (kinda cheated in ShB since melee and ranged were just grouped as physical DPS). They're a bit of fun honestly, I enjoyed doing them. Hope you are as well!

    And nothing wrong with feeling disinclined to play for a bit! The game is honestly structured around that, so put your feet up so to speak, do what you feel like doing and don't feel worried about not logging on!
