Stupid posts

Sadly, I wasted a bit of time combing English-langugage forums this weekend looking for anything interesting, but it's not as wasteful as actually posting on forums. If only I knew Japanese, then I'd be able to make this blog a lot more informative instead of cluttering it with arithmetic junk. Here are some threads amusing enough to waste 20 seconds commenting on each.

(FFXIclopedia) Playing the logic card in a video game when considering the possibility of cutting up Marinara Pizza into slices for convenience. "How do you end up with more pizza than you started out with?" How about, how the fuck do you fuck up cutting a pizza into slices? (Recall that you can HQ curry buns.)

(Allakhazam) How do you get a Kikoku when you're this ignorant? Never mind, you actually upgraded Kikoku as opposed to something useful and parasitized your Dynamis LS or RMT'ed it in the process or sat on a fat pile of gil before general deflation.

(BG) Dick-riders actually defend the Quicksand Caves map requirement for "Moogle Kupo d'Etat," like you dipshits didn't look up the mission info beforehand to save time (the smart thing to do) and actually finished this particular mission through trial-and-error. This is from someone who has all the maps and didn't leech some of them (like the useless Promyvion maps) like you probably did. No, most maps are completely useless.

(BG) Typical Fenrir "player" contributing nothing of value (asking about possible ANNM solos), except the valid point that vBulletin's search function is complete shit, and the premise that we should even search the forums for highly fragmented information is complete shit, too.

(Allakhazam) What is it with bards and Alkalurops anyway? Not that you should actually read this, but take my word for it that I just cannot have a legitimate conversation about magic accuracy with anyone in that thread except two people. There is still a lot to learn and confirm in theory (how about the "developer" team of monkeys not being so fucking opaque about everything?), but it's not getting done with some stupid back-and-forth.

(FFXIclopedia) Again, why does anyone care about beating StarOnion/InvincibleLeg/MeteorBrian?

(Allakhazam) Are players really that invested in becoming a great [insert job here]? Considering all the inane hero worship that surrounds so-called "celebrity" players in FFXI, no, no one who's played long enough should be all that surprised. Still, being a knowledgeable, even "skilled" (to the extent that skill is involved) player involves a bit more than micromanaging a single job. Not that leveling only one job is a bad thing (why throw even more good time after bad in a MMORPG?), but I guarantee that one-job only types who talk a game about "perfecting their craft" had to leech at some point or another. Especially thieves.
