He’s probably actually gonna win off this event

That’s fucking depressing lmao

Chinese plants will make whatever the hell you need them to at your desired quality, as long as you meet the market price.

There’s an incredible irony in Americans associating them with poor quality because the American capitalists ordering the goods decided to cheap out and cut corners lmao.

It’s the game I would have hated as a young adult but absolutely love as a… less young adult.

“Depression” in a medical context is not something that simply goes away. The cause is not a stressor such as exams. It is an unnatural imbalance of chemicals in your brain. This can only be treated by medication, or you can mask and adapt to learn to live with it.

I’m sure stressors can trigger episodes of more severe symptoms but one does not simply “problem solve” away depression.

This is not to say you have medical depression. However, if you notice this feeling does not go away, it may be time to consult your doctor as this is no replacement for medical advice.

A spaceship, 15,000 years from now:

“This civilization confuses me. Even with their primitive compute engines, they could easily have simulated their own society to identify the glaring flaws preventing the advance of their civilization. It would have been trivial to jump multiple decimals in civilization type.”

“They did see the flaws. The model collapsed in every single simulation on record.”

“Then why did they continue living like this?”

“Who knows. They’re long gone now.”

It depends what you’re looking for. If you don’t care about story and community, you can purchase a boost right to the endgame (or I guess, start-game of this expansion) and start playing the latest content almost immediately. It’s really not a hard game even at the 2nd hardest content tier. I could regularly out-DPS the DPS players as a healer in pugs.

However, FF14 also famously has some of the best storytelling and communities in the genre. Even catching up to Stormblood would take hundreds of hours and there are like 3 new expansions since then.

Personally the appeal to me was the immersion, working through the story from the start, making bonds and connections with other players and your guild. This takes time and if you have it, the game will show you plenty to do.
