our discord interactions have been entirely 100% plural for a long time now that when interacting with new people / communities there we have to break the "muscle memory" of using plural pronouns

apparently Rosetta 2 will remain in macOS 28 but for games only. idk what that entails. the XIV on Mac devs don't seem worried about it and in the worst case plan to just adopt FEX anyway. and it should still run even if sqex officially drop mac entirely

realising the kind of things i'd want in "world interaction" is already stuff we have in field ops, so i'm not expecting we'll get much radical change beyond something like, "more world bosses/fates",

i feel like it has been talked about a lot already but as someone who's been reverse engineering or rom hacking since we were like 11, started experimenting with recomps before they were really common, the genai trend has been particularly demoralising

in an aus interview w/foxclon & koji fox they said after cross-dc matching they want look into revisiting cross region travel to open it up completely (OCE to others, NA to EU, etc.) no TL ofc but at least it's still on the table… ofc we'd be the ones to ask given Materia being a one way visit lol

the one thing i am curious about it if the DC merge will make mahjong duty queues better in NA. my guess is it won't be that much of an improvement, but at least you wouldn't have to figure out which of the [logical] DCs it's more active in anymore

I cannot stress enough how helpful it is when you like a thing that someone created (like, say, a book they wrote) & you TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT. Word of mouth can be an incredible tool, yes, even if you don't think you're a fancy influencer with an incredible following. Your recommendations go places!

i have our first submersible to rank 25. after all this crafting for ship parts i finally understand why cobalt ore consistently sells out (sending retainers to mine cobalt ore has been our main way of making gil for a very long time lol)

there's a TTS plugin for xiv (for chat and unvoiced NPC dialogue) but didnt want to use any of the cloud based integrations so i implemented a websocket client to fwd it to macOS system voices (which also have a wide variety of accents).
