Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Picked up a quest in Shadows from this drunk guy who wants me to take a barrel and stash it away in the Burial Grounds/Tomb of the city I'm in.

One of the gimmicks of this game is that you are bound to a demon, and you can toggle between your main character and the demon, who resides in the Shadow Realm. When in the Shadow Realm you see things a lot differently than in the normal realm.

I happen to toggle to the Shadow Realm tonight while running by where the drunk guy *was* and there is a woman's spirit there. Turns out she is the wife of the drunk guy, who says he killed her and stashed her in a barrel. She asks you to expose his dirty deed by taking a piece of rare silk that he stole off of her body and show it to the Captain of the Guards.

What is Jeppson's Malort?

Bäsk is Swedish style spiced liquor flavored with wormwood ("malört" in Swedish). Sweden is one of the few countries that has never banned absinthe or other wormwood-flavored liquors.

In the United States, the Chicago-based brand Jeppson's Malört is one of the more well-known versions of the liquor.

Bäsk is said to be good for digestion, and therefore is traditionally associated with fatty foods.

When bäsk is unavailable, it can be substituted with vodka that has been infused with sprigs of wormwood.

Brännvin (or brændevin in Danish, brennevin in Norwegian, brennivín in Faroese and (palo)viina in Finnish) is the Swedish version of the general Scandinavian term for liquor distilled from potatoes, grain, or (formerly) wood cellulose; both of flavored and unflavored variants. The term includes vodka and akvavit, but akvavit is always flavored.

Beverages labelled brännvin or viina are usually unflavored and have an alcohol content between 30% and 38% ABV. European Union regulations reserve the name "vodka" for beverages distilled to at least 95% ABV and bottled at 37.5% or higher. In Finland, the word viina is always used for Finnish-made neutral spirit, including Finnish vodka, and the Russian word (vodka) is used only for vodkas from other countries. In informal speech, viina can also refer to any similarly strong beverage similarly to booze, whether flavored or unflavored.

The term "vodka" was not used for Swedish vodkas before 1958.

The word brännvin means "burn-wine"; the Finnish equivalent (palo)viina means "burnt liquor." (Sometimes the distillation of beverages is called "burning.") It is cognate with English brandy, Dutch brandewijn, German Branntwein, and Icelandic brennivín .

Was I seeing things or did I read correctly a while back SE stating for ffxiv 3.0 content in regards to melding materia into gear that it was not going to be as overpowering as it was for i110 gear? Due to the fact that he wanted melded gear to be a stepping stone for raid gear or not out right replace raid gear like the i110 pentamelds did.

Was I imagining this? if not does someone remember the source? Been trying to look thru a bunch of thread from interviews but cant find anything related to melding...

Go check on BG in the news section

Kinda an improvement.

that ole smokey ***isn't real moonshine, but the cherries make an awesome cherry coke. you mash them up and then pour a little jack over it and then pour the coke. tastes like a cherry soda from a fountain. even though it's made with the white lightnin it turns to about 50-60 proof cause it's diluted by the cherries. real redneck made in the woods moonshine is more like that 180 proof ***they had. it will tear you to pieces.

you can actually go and taste test all teh different ole smokey stuff in pigeon forge. i liked most of them, but it's more something that's fun to try. i wouldn't keep any of it other than the cherries on my bar.

And spathyboo constantly on my news feed lol
