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

gotta use a dif email per purchase, unless there is another workaround.

Different emails yup.

Used to be unlimited but 2 at a time. Then it became 2 max per email. Now it's 1 per email (or guest)

They're trying(pretending) so hard to crack down, with the lowest possible effort and failing absolutely miserably.

Doing it as a guest is a pain in the ***; It's like verify email. verify you verified the email. Verfify phone number. Verify you verfied the phone number. verify email via phone number. Like god damn!

you want 2 codes for a video game?
Are you planning to do something underhanded and break those terms of service agreements and god forbid, play with two characters logged in the servers at the same time?

This is a Christian server Panta

I want to pay twice for Squareenix

Playing one char on my desktop and one char on my notebook.

Totally legit

Pictomancer has been pretty fun. Hits like a truck, cute animations. The sound effects though... awful.

I haven't started yet. Queue times suck. I was thinking... why not let the kids play first. Adults last.

How the *** did I miss Belurat?? I think i went up the path to the left with the giant bats and all that and just never went up the steps lol

Good morning you who want to introduce your kid son to FFXI. Or you kid daughter. Good morning you who are the son/daughter that wants to play FFXI with you father. Or your mother. Good morning you who wantt to give a FFXI account to your cousin, your nephew. Or maybe your parents, your best friends.

But no. SE only allow a one time purchase for you.

Because surely the best anti-RMT approach is letting the sales department to deal with it.

And f*** the revenue.

I had 3 FFXI accounts. The most expensive game.

Now, I have 2 FFXIV accounts. Legacy 4 life.

I reached BAYLE last night, but after a couple of attempts my queue wait was up for XIV, so I got into that for a couple hours before bed.

Mainly cause I didn't wanna go to bed angry. Bayle seems like he's gonna be the first real challenge I've faced in SoTE.

you're still salty about that ***? lol
There is a lot of services now that only allow one per email, be grateful it's not truly strict and one per phone number like some services now, more annoying to circumvent lol

I definitely regret not giving each copy of the game it's own SE ID when I bought them all, purely to be able to give them all to friends freely when needed instead of all going to waste on a single SE ID and they deliberately making no way to unlink them lol

You have a point

I think I'm just gonna wait for my days off. I have early access but no time. Lol

I want that money.

So, if I want to subscribe for some GPT pro, what would you recommend?

Copilot? ChatGPT? Other?

I didnt ask it to chatGPT because most likely it will be biased

Zeig needs to get in here and show more Elden Ring.

What is your need? Ive heard a lot of people keep saying Claude and ChatGPT4o is very good for coding with extremely high accuracy and low error rate, but I don't know if that's true.

Some people say google Gemini is the best for language translation. So I do have plans to give it a try eventually.

I would say find out your goals first (translation? Coding assist? Brainstorming? Writing business letters? Summarize info?) then enter the community of people doing similar things and ask for their feedback on those AI.

Currently, I want a GPT to improve my learning.

Im already using chatGPT and OpenAI/Copilot at work for some quick review everything i see an unfamiliar term/concept.

Next step im thinking is using some AI to reduce book chapter in some quick reviews or create classes of it, to allow some quick scanning into the content before tackling. Also reducing potential obscurity some authors can left in their text.

Interestingly, ChatGPT has a standard of reviews, so that unifies the learning experience, instead being subject to authors style, that varies from one to another, generating some noise in the read (some talk problems before solution, others are strict to concepts, others favor code, etc).

Eventually some gen AI to help me create more efficiently my original memes, like Josiafks point

The joys of retirement:

I logged in at 6:30 AM PDT. I had zero queue!!! (Hardly ever happens) In and out a few times largest queue number 31.

I understand that at bootup and prime time the queues sucked though.

I just learned about the true origin of mermaids.

Humans are really a malicious specie

haven't seen a queue greater than 50 on primal yet, though I also login at odd times.

Had a queue for 874 last night on my first login around 8pm EST.

Absolutely a drop in the bucket compared to the like 4800+ during EW though.

Now I'm sure if I was going bananas for Dawntrail it'd be a different story... but as of now when I get off work I'm probably gonna throw myself at Bayle hardcore in Elden Ring instead of going to Wookie's Lament (at least until I get tired of Bayle crushing my bung hole).

Who was the mod who approved the La Bamba/Labraunda quibble???

That is probably one of the most horrible puns I ever see in this site. Labrauda dont even sounds like La Bamba, and the guy singing doesnt seems to be playing La Bamba or even equipping a Labrauda.

That pun is a crime against humanity, only Hittlercat could think something this atrocious

EDIT: Ok, at least the guy seems to be the actual singer, but still doesnt seems like he plays WAR.

Accept the Hittlercat singing as an excuse

I am on Behemoth (one of the popular servers) where we have a lot of Brazil gangs playing.

I woke up with a stomach ache, I did not, in fact, wait for my days off.

Dont trust anything brazillians say

I mean, the few people from Brazil in our FC (founded by FFXI vets) are friendly.

Anyone else I'd rather avoid since English isn't their first language (nor mine... kinda).

(Dogs are best friends)

what if they say PINTO and NEGAO over and over?

(I know negao has a squiggly thing I just dont know the code for it)

BAYLE THE DREAD!!!! YOU SHALL HAUNT ME NO LONGER!!!!!!

I just fought that guy myself.

Annoying, but less annoying than the thunder dragon on the way up.
