Books, Games, and Screaming Into The Void
After using a Roku TV for the longest time, I’ve “upgraded” to an Apple TV. Upgraded in quotes because this particular model hasn’t been updated since 2022. My biggest reason for upgrading was that when I would try to watch shows on HBO, the audio was SO low and I’ve tried so many fixes.
Eventually I decided enough was enough, and I had the added benefit of an Ethernet port.
In other news, I don’t think this is how bathtubs work….
Hahaha, I love silly game glitches.
So I totally fell off the face of the Earth there, as I do.
The ADHD be really real at times, or I just lose interest in the thing I’m chasing.
In the gaming sphere, I am still chasing FFXIV achievements and as of typing this, I am now #105 on my server. \o/
In the Bookish sphere, I completed 74 books with a goal of 25.
For January, I already have four books on deck towards a goal of 26.
I’m especially excited for Quicksilver and have heard very good things! I’m 10% of the way in right now and I’m having a blast. I’m probably late for that train but better than never, right?
In other news, aside from posting screenshots to my FFXIV account and leaving alerts on for when friends share posts to me, I am stepping away from social media this year for my mental health. No matter how much you curate it, it is a still a flaming huge dumpster fire. My last post in Instagram was 2024, so I’m hoping to do the same with Threads and Bluesky. The people that matter have ways of contacting me outside of those platforms, so they can utilize them as they wish.
Anyway, that’s all for now.
No fun screenshot this week I’m afraid, but here’s an achievement update! This week I’ll be working on new relic weapons and tools.
(Omni-100 Mount)
WHEW. I didn’t mean to go so long without updating, but the thing we call “Real Life” demanded my attention for a while. I assure you, gentle readers, that myself and mine are completely fine.
With that said, here’s what I’ve achieved while I was gone!
(Omni-80 mount)
This week was another top-heavy one with a LOT of achievements, but we are now officially seeing the light at the end of the leveling tunnel with alt classes ticking over to 100 and giving progress to the next achievement mount. I also got the omni-90 hairpin, but I hate it so much that it immediately got tossed in the glamour armoire, never to see the light of day. LOL
I don’t know if I mentioned this last week (I probably did, I don’t read my old posts…oop.) but I’m HOPING to finish this leveling spree by next patch so I can focus on the next steps of the lv 100 relic weapons and tools. We’ll see how it goes.

There was a *buttload* of ‘cheevo popping this week so I condensed it into a smaller list. Monk and Black Mage are steadily marching towards 91! Getting closer!!
This week begins a Moogle Treasure Trove event also. I already have most of the items sans the exclusive event item (a coffee cup earring!!!) and a triple triad card. I’ll be passively gaining the currency for it and at the end I’ll turn them in for maps to use with my farming group!

Another week gone by, let’s recap the week’s achievements!
This week I worked on a bunch of jobs, some leveling jaunts were shorter than others. Monk and Black Mage are the only remaining ones that I need to level and then it is finally off to another grind. I’m not sure yet what that’s going to be, but I do know that I REALLY need to start cleaning up my inventory because it’s out of control. LOL

Another week gone by, so it’s time to recap the week’s achievements!
(Current Sage glam, but it’s subject to change once I get the utensils nouliths.)
Another week complete! We had a 14 hour maintenance yesterday, which is why this post is a day late. I feel like I made some good progress!
