Fishing trip. A Final Fantasy XIV player update.

The first night, two friends and I decided it was time we learned to fish. We found a delightful spot, in an old port, and cast our nets blindly. We expected the entire event to last all but a few minutes before we were going to get bored. I think it was three hours later than we finally decided it was time for bed. That’s three hours and about twenty levels.

Moo, as heck. #art #cow

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds… only #art #startrek #snw

I’m really not enjoying this season of SNW, it just feels like a soap opera more than a sci-fi. And what was with those stupid phones last episode?

Been getting a lot of emails from random mailing lists without unsubscribe options lately. Maybe the golden age of the GDPR mail clean up is over.

Hummm… having some issues uploading an animated GIF, looks like Mario.Social doesn’t like them 🧐 also SPACE! #art

I started watching Wednesday season two yesterday. Did not enjoy. I felt like it was a collection on TikTok videos put in chronological order. Guess I’m not the audience for it.

Did some messing with task managers today. I think I’m staying on Reminders still, the Apple calendar integration is too good to leave. Also, smart lists.

This week I’m not sure if I’m more excited for new Star Trek episode or new South Park episode.

I’m pretty sure I said this same sentence in the 90s 🤣 still true though.

Had a bit of stressful morning. Became the duck. Solved problems. Got through it.

MMOs and their place in my accidental return to gaming.

After losing interest in gaming, rekindling the passion through playing with my daughter and revisiting Final Fantasy XIV has brought joy and engagement back into my life.

This weeks episode of strange new worlds has been the first one that I genuinely didn’t enjoy

Had a great evening at my Bible study group. I enjoy that it happens on a Wednesday evening, it’s like a mid week reset of sorts. Really like it.

Today is a day of academic study. How refined of me 😊

Currently reading Atomic Habits (James Clear) hope it’s as good as its legend.

I had a good time playing FFXIV last night. This evening I have to resist the urge to level, in favour of writing. ✍️

Final Fantasy XIV, on Mac.

I have a lot to say, and write about how fantastic FFXIV is, still. I’m currently drafting one of my signature rambling explorations, on the topic of MMOs. But, today, I’m here to drop information and little more. I own a MacBook Air and wanted to go back to playing FFXIV. I expected this to be hard, however, it was not. In fact, it was shockingly straightforward. Thanks to a website/project that takes care of it for you.

I’m at the start of a glorious day. Breakfast, dog Walk and writing is ahead of me. I look forward to seeing how it unfolds. Hopefully calmly.

Bluesky just told me that I need to verify my age, in order to access “adult content” and direct messages. I don’t want either of those things, so, win! I guess.

I have a new back plate for my ROG Ally. While it promises to reduce heat and increase FPS, I’m most excited because it has a built in kick stand. Fitting it this evening.
