My Kingdom for being able to queue Duty Support (and maybe even solo duties) as a duo or trio 😩

I also feel like I’m very lucky to get a good party most of the time! But yeah the negative interactions do stand out…
I’m also on Crystal still. I’m sure thats a factor (though I’m not sure by how much)

I honestly don’t do roulettes all that often anymore because I don’t really want to deal with the pressure. I do my best to pay attention, be considerate, and play to the best of my ability. I guess that’s all I can control. But if I’m not in the mood for one of those things I’m not gonna queue.

Duty Support is a very nice feature but I sometimes wonder if some folks use it as justification to do that kind of stuff. As if they make an assumption that since it exists, why would anyone do their first clear with randoms?

What if Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu can talk

Honestly haven't really played since 1.3 but I think I definitely need to come back for 1.7 (my guilty fave Clint is getting a REDEMPTION ARC)

Tuning in to this and being just being reminded how special of a game this is. Congrats on the 10th Anniversary #StardewValley and here's to many more (and also Haunted Chocolatier ^_^)

I've gotta do Severian

Love you pikablu (you should've been the one)

An edit of XKCD #2501: "Average Familiarity". [Ponytail and Cueball are talking. Ponytail has her hand raised, palm up, towards Cueball.] Ponytail: Uptime is second nature to us raiders, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows about watching castbars and what basic Party Finder lingo means. Cueball: And max melee, of course. Ponytail: Of course. [Caption below the panel] Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

Made this a couple of days ago #ffxiv

but like, the planet is dying and techbros can suck it so I'm not gonna share the link
forgive me father for I have sinned

The worst part about it is that it's not lazy at all. It doesn't have the classic dissolving after a minute thing that most Suno slop has, and the channel only has like five videos on it so it's more like a guy doing experiments than a content farmer. And the song choice for each movement WORKS

I am currently listening to a Requiem mass made entirely out of Dragon Quest songs and it's one of the coolest niche venn diagram things that has ever graced my youtube suggestions.

Also they used AI to make it 🫠

Steam search page for games published by Torch60. All have been added to the library.

I'm doing my part (completely forgot that I hadn't added Zosma yet)

my friend's on vacation to the Far East and since they've never been before I called them up on the linkpearl to see how they were doing with the boat

they were already in Kugane

they left yesterday??? doesn't it take like? at least a month? to get there from Limsa??????

or maybe his name is Maritoad dang

Anyway Toadsworth and Toadette are here too. You have a tattling Goombatoad in your party. There's Koopatoads, Shytoads, those Toads that make a bridge, it's Toads all the way down. For Paper Mario is Missing to work it has to commit to the bit

Cursed game idea: Paper Mario is Missing, where the common complaint that the only new Paper Mario characters are Toads is taken up to 11. Every PC, NPC, enemy, and probably even a few setpieces are Toads. Mariotoad (a Toad wearing Mario's hat) is on a journey to find where all the non-Toads went.

I know my audience :3

The Unofficial Starmen.net Member's Choice Awards 2025 Ballot I've added some last-minute things as usual, so everything has at least three options.

Voting for the 2025 Starman Super Awards has finally begun! @starmen.net forms.gle/rhyiyoMnUroj...

The SMN Figment is my WoL's canon weapon now I love it so much
And with the glam unlock I can use it on SCH too 🥰

Part of the table for the Starmen Super Awards nominations. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Nominated by Team Maelle) and Hollow Knight: Silksong (Nominated by Team Hornet) are both nominated for "Best Non-Nintendo AAA Game" AND "Best Indie Game".

Didn't even think about this when I was putting it together but I unintentionally added to the "what is an indie game" discourse

so I forgot to mention to @starmen.net bsky that the Starman Supers were still happening 😅
You can nominate through that link if you still have a forum account but if you don't you can reply to this post or post in the SMnet discord Event Discussion channel I guess

Happy new year!

I like to call making no mistakes after getting a rainbow herring a herringbone

3.4 Soul Surrender my beloved
Also thinking about how much I enjoyed 4.1 The Legend Returns when I first played through it and then learning that most people regard it as a weaker patch (and now I’m missing Fordola again)

Merry Christmas

anyway it absolutely deserved recognition at that awards show and if you're still calling it overpriced garbage you really need to diversify your feeds. Just overpriced will do!
