For those who don't know, the second bottle of free fantasia is available from a mission at the north end of Sapphire Avenue in Ul'dah. (Might also be available in the other two core cities, I haven't checked.) ---Dave

I have literally never had my combat gear break in FFXIV, in part because previous games taught me to repair whenever possible. :) (I think I have occasionally broken a piece of crafting gear, especially the L1 crap if I set up a big "make 200 copper ingots" sort of grind and left the room to...

So, they've admitted that removing damage from GNB and DRK dashes was a mistake, since now those tanks rush in and fail to generate any aggro. Sounds like they plan to add a taunt effect to the dashes rather than putting damage back in, though. Also, if you haven't gotten around to trying the...

Ditto. I generally went with the high detail plastics, and to get a home printer capable of that level of detail and strength would be pretty expensive. Sigh. ---Dave

The differences I noticed were mostly overworld, but I was introduced to a trick that helped in my case: For some reason, being at 100 leads to some slight blurring, going down to 99 sharpens things up a lot. ---Dave

Yeah, mornings have been fine, as have late nights. It's prime time (mid-afternoon through 9PM or thereabouts, starting earlier on weekends) that's got the half hour waits. ---Dave

As much as this is about Earthspark, it really belongs in the politics forum. ---Dave

Last night in prime time I got worse queues (half an hour wait on Excalibur), I suspect a lot of people couldn't get the download done until the weekend. Oddly, almost no problem on Hyperion, another "legacy server," so either Excalibur is just that much more popular...or had more people...

Well, the worst queue I had to deal with last night was 470, so things have improved since Endwalker dropped. (And I got most of my UI-fixing done midday when queues were sub-50.) One effect of the graphics update is higher resolution whether you wanted it or not...so all the UI elements are...

One of my FC-mates: ---Dave

So, no more charge attacks, they're all just movement now. Looks like high end duties were really turning into "burst damage" affairs, given how many of the notes talk about reducing attackspam. (Not technically alpha strikes in many cases, since a lot of the tricks require filling gauges...

I made a "ballard" for TOP. A marble shooter toy ball I had sitting around in my bits bin, drilled a hole in (but not too far, it turned out to have a metal core) and glued in a section of 5mm rod. This was meant to be a quickie, so I didn't dye the rod red or anything. I suppose I could make...

Oh Primus, they pulled the riff: ---Dave

(I decided to not try to match the spot pattern on the original NS Cheetor, which was almost more giraffe-like than cheetah-like. But it did need some gold there in general.) ---Dave

Either some of the "mysterious repeating woman" versions this season never showed on screen, or they BARELY showed up, because I didn't recognize a few of the roll call. If some of the iterations were invented for this episode, that'd support the idea that the original plan had five more...

Wow, the fair episode was pretty bad. Like, "rejected first season script given a once-over to put it in continuity" bad. About the only good thing about it was the guest voice, and that was only a few lines at the end. ---Dave

Added more UV glow effects, painted the hinge on the roof silver and red, and painted the gun to match the forearm colors. Regular light and UV flashlight enhancement. ---Dave

Smallfoot is good, Treds is kinda a nonentity, and that is in no way shape or form Pathfinder. Even if done in the right colors it's still not even a little close for either mode. T30 Cosmos would have at least been in the ballpark as molds go. ---Dave, whose first Gobot was Pathfinder....

Nice Gundam reference. ---Dave

Got through two eps last night. Why are there in PENNSYLVANIA? The whole episode feels like a rejected script from S1, tweaked a little bit to fit S2's status quo. ---Dave
