Classes/Jobs can really change in feeling as you level. But one of the great things about FF14 is that you can do everything with one character, so experimenting doesn't mean starting over.

Yea. It got really bad on the Aether data center. Couldn't log in for hours.

I didn't know that! How does changing jobs work in the game?

Yeah the first night I played I had to try a couple of times before it let me in. I just messed around with character creation for a long time.

Los Angeles, Alhambra, Whittier (family); El Segundo (old friends/coworkers) if there's time. Only there for a week so going to try and squeeze everyone in but I'm incredibly bad at organizing those things.

What part are you from again?
Click to expand...

I have family in La Habra/Whittier too, I spent a week there for a cousin's wedding. I liked it in there, hope to be back soon.

Congratulations on the marriage! :D

That aside though, are there fun things to do in London? Is that a serious question? There's so much to do, you gotta narrow it down man :p

Thanks! I'm only staying for 10 days and London seems so overwhelming, no idea where to start.

I'm familiar. I went there to the beach for an anniversary with an ex and a drunk (and probably drugged-out) guy was watching us through our shoreline hotel window, masturbating, and somehow unlocked the deadbolt on our door. He disappeared and when I heard a knock on the door, he pretended to be the police. Fun times.

It's a beautiful place, though. Just happened to be unlucky that night.

Yeah, it's a nice little area. My partner's family moved there not too long ago and we take turns staying there and at my parents place when we visit. Traffic from Alhambra to Whittier (and everywhere else, for that matter) has gotten so much worse since I left. It's horrible. Makes me appreciate the non-traffic here in Michigan where everyone speeds and gets away with it, even senior citizens.

My character is Deric Meicyn, also on Gilgamesh. For all we know, we may have run into each other in the game and not even realized it. My class of choice is monk. I just beat

I work 8:30 to 5:30 p.m., but am up by 4:00 a.m. every day. Most days it's because I have to drive my mother to work (and she starts earlier than I do), but then on her two off days, I'm just used to being up at that time anyway so I just go to the gym before work for super empty workout time. You definitely get used to it.

So I saw this menu sign while walking to my car at a mall in my local Japanese neighborhood in DTLA.

Place was closed. Otherwise you bet your ass I would have ordered it.

I love living in Indiana. I live in the Indianapolis area, and it's like a lot of the great things you want from a big city (good eating, major league sports teams [NBA and NFL covered]) with much easier traffic and low cost of living.

There are drawbacks, to be sure. There is animosity between the city of Indianapolis and the state legislature, and it pops up every now and then in something like the ridiculous RFRA legislation. There is not a lot of diversity, but cities like Indianapolis and Bloomington are more diverse than living out in the boonies.

But the state is headed in the right direction, I believe. We just had the largest Pride Parade in the city's history (my company marched in the parade and I was part of it!) Indianapolis has a Republican mayor at the moment, but he was the Grand Marshall in the Pride Parade. The RFRA was bad, it did show that a majority of Hoosiers are on board with making sexual orientation a protected class. We vote in a governor like Mike Pence every now and then, but we also vote in a Senator like Joe Donnelly over a more social conservative opponent. So it's like two steps forward, one step back.

I'm part of my company's LGBT employee resource group as an ally and doing my best to create an environment where everyone can be their full self at work. And our big local businesses are all supportive of LGBT employees and fought against the RFRA action.

I'd love to hear Mumei or other Hoosier GAF members throw in their cents (I'd say Escape Goat but I'm pretty sure he's left the state so he's DEAD TO ME [jk <3]). I am a straight, male WASP so my views of the state could be swayed in that regard. But having moved here 16 years ago, I feel like Indiana is home. And I'm trying my best to understand LGBTQIA issues to that LGBTQIA Hoosiers can feel at home, too.

(Oh, and Andrew Luck is the best. Except that silly beard. He is pretty dashing when he's clean cut, he should really not go the beard route.)

Ah, thank you for the thorough response! That's really cool what you're doing with your company. If you don't mind me asking, what motivated you to become involved with your company's LGBT employee resource group? Maybe I'll check one of those cities out (or at least not be scared of it) next time I head east.

As for Andrew Luck...I'll take your word for it. :p Based on what I've heard from friends and friends of friends and the little I've personally seen of him, he seems like a really nice guy who's also great at football. I'm glad he has fans.

I'm not very familiar with Skype, but I was just exploring it and under Preferences > Privacy, there's an option for how long to save chat history and to clear chat history. I'm guessing this is a universal control though. I apologize if this isn't helpful.

To be fair, we had gay marriage in some states and it was valid nationwide already. Traveling to other state wasn't ideal, of course, but now Mexico is totes homo :p

Also, this is something people outside of Mexico seem to ignore (based on Reddit, lol), but because of a previous church-fueled war, we're a very secular country government-wise despite being predominantly Catholic. So this development was met with relatively little opposition, most people really don't care. Again, when it comes to government, our religious nuts are probably in intense pain at the moment :p

I'm so nervous. Been this way since yesterday. Not about anything specific which makes it even worse. It's my exam week so it's surely tied to that, but it isn't the exams themselves.

it's my last week of summer classes and I had taken 4 over six weeks so this last week is killing me. But I'm almost done, and while I don't expect my final grades to be what I wished (one should've been an A but due to a technical issue I got fucked while the other is on the brink of B/C but fuck it) I'm just happy to be done so I can breathe again.

Glad to see SSM made it into the new Fire Emblem game. Can't wait to meet my husbando. <3

Although I probably won't ship it as hard as I shipped the avatar player and Lucina in Awakening, god they made me just love that game.

I was playing it on the PS3 but had to stop cause my WiFi is kinda weak and apparently PS3's WiFi antenna is the biggest POS ever.


It seemed like an awesome game though. Will pick it up again once I upgrade my Internet or grab a PS4. (Assuming PS4 has a better antenna)

Definitely some slow down but it's hard for me to say how much of it was cause of my connection. :/

Put it this way, it was enough to make me stop playing. I can't imagine SE shipped 2.0 re-release so broken though. I'm gonna say it's due to my set-up.

From what I recall it was active time, but with cool down periods kinda like Xenoblade. It's my first MMO though so I can't compare it to others.

I will say playing it on the duelshock felt kinda restrictive and made me wish for a mouse and keyboard. Not sure if I just had to get used to it though.

I would really love an MMO with a combat style like Dragon's Dogma.
