Got my booster a couple weeks ago. It hit me somewhat hard but I was still able to work the next day. Pfizer for all my doses.

What really annoys me is that this shares its list with the pre-Bedrock version, so if I want to fully complete it I'd have to hunt down a disc of that and play too much of the crappy minigames I never liked.

Platinum #4 Get: Minecraft

I've done all this before on other systems so I just downloaded an achievement world to my PC version and loaded my PS4 character into that...and then stood around for a day and a half to get the one that requires you to play for a certain amount of time. I only bought this version for the VR and ended up hating that.

Oh hey Shadowbringers soundtrack on Spotify/Apple Music/etc. Time to add it to my library and not actually listen to it! (because I'm only in 4.3)

Speaking of, why did they never release a patch music album for Stormblood? All the other expansions have them.

I finally wrapped up the Birthday Celebration and Popular Pen Pal achievements on Saturday. Now I'm just down to Wispy Island Secrets (6/10) and K.K. Mania (21/30), which, as I said before, are unlikely to progress much further, if at all.

This reminds me, whats the one to the right of Cicada Memories? Its the only one I dont have at least one stamp on.

I included Other M in all of that because I wouldn't have replayed it otherwise.

Im planning to but it wont be a replay because I never finished it in the first place. But my Wii U is right next to my desk which makes the first-person aiming a little trickier than it would normally be.

To all members of the Blizzard Community,
We want to let you know about an important leadership change at Blizzard Entertainment.
Starting today, J. Allen Brack will be stepping down as the leader of the studio, and Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will co-lead Blizzard moving forward.
Jen joined Blizzard in January as executive vice president of development, where shes been providing senior development leadership and support to the Diablo and Overwatch franchises. Jen is the former head of Vicarious Visions (which is now part of Blizzard Entertainment).
After many years at XBOX, Mike joined the company in 2019 as the executive vice president and general manager of platform and technology, where hes been overseeing the evolution of Battle.net and our development services organization.
Jen and Mike have more than three decades of gaming industry experience between them. Moving forward, they will share responsibilities over game development and company operations.
Both leaders are deeply committed to all of our employees; to the work ahead to ensure Blizzard is the safest, most welcoming workplace possible for women, and people of any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or background; to upholding and reinforcing our values; and to rebuilding your trust. With their many years of industry experience and deep commitment to integrity and inclusivity, Jen and Mike will lead Blizzard with care, compassion, and a dedication to excellence. Youll hear more from Jen and Mike soon.
The following is a message from J. Allen Brack:
I am confident that Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will provide the leadership Blizzard needs to realize its full potential and will accelerate the pace of change. I anticipate they will do so with passion and enthusiasm and that they can be trusted to lead with the highest levels of integrity and commitment to the components of our culture that make Blizzard so special.
Finally, thank you all for being a part of the Blizzard community, and for your passion and determination for safety and equality for all.

I haven't really had an issue with my glasses fogging since I started wearing surgical masks with the metal piece to fit to your nose. Not sure about how to deal with it with cloth masks; I could never prevent fogging consistently with those.

My wife found some cloth ones that have that same metal piece sewn in; theyve worked wonders for me.

Level 80 I assume? As a bard, I doubt I'd be able to solo any extremes unsynced until I have very top level gear and am level 80 lol. ilvl is currently 249

75 DRG actually, with a mix of SB tomestone (400) and crafted (385) gear, plus the 430 preorder earring.

So when I logged in this morning I realized that the next step in the MSQ for me is a dungeon, and I didn't feel like waiting on the DPS queue so I decided to try out soloing ARR extremes instead. It's going pretty well; I've managed three so far, including redoing two of them because I forgot to pick the quests back up after abandoning them at some point for the journal space. No mount drops though but grinding those out can wait until I get closer to actually caught up (which is never going to happen if I keep getting distracted like this, but I digress).

Nah, they play the whole game first, then commentary from the future is recorded during the editing process.

No One Can Know About This - an audio lets play wherein two guys play every Final Fantasy game. Theyre on their sixth season right now, having played I, IV, VI, VII, II, and currently in disc 3 of VIII. They record the entire process - from the trip to the store to get the game (up until VIII theyd only played physical copies of the original release) to the meals eaten before and during a session - and then edit it down into episodes with commentary from their future selves added in.

If there are enough requests basically reads to me like Were planning to do it but want to get some money out of these other platforms first, then when we put them on consoles well get extra money from some people double-dipping and we get to say We listened to our fans at the same time.

The assumption going around is that these will be more closely based on the original versions (screenshots show one of the FF1 bonus dungeons gone from the Cornelia area for example). Which if true would likely indicate your endgame party in 4 being locked like on SNES.

I believe the 4 PSP release also includes the After Years, but doesn't have all of the cool bonus stuff from the GBA release (like the dungeons that let you use the party members that aren't in the endgame party)

Youre right that it has After Years (along with a new Interlude between 4 and TAY), but PSP has all the bonus content from GBA (for all three 2D games that got the treatment).

The bonus content added in the GBA versions of I and II (especially I) were quite fun in any case, so Id go with that (not sure whether or not any of the subsequent ports also have those dungeons).

PSP and current mobile does (and adds more too), upcoming mobile looks like it doesnt.

For the rest of these a lot will depend on what hardware you have available

JonThePenguin
http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion

A lot of people are going to ignore talking about XI, so I'll say what I can. They've made it a lot easier to solo at this point - there are summonable NPCs called Trusts that you can have with you through pretty much anything in the main content. I've only beaten the original storyline that came with the game at launch though so anything expansion-related is outside my wheelhouse. My current playtime comes in a little over 72 hours and that's sometime after finishing that original base story.

Im entering the home stretch of Stormblood and it feels really bad skipping all the sidequests because thats just not how I normally do things. Just trying not to get much more overleveled (currently dragoon at 74 and just did the 67 trial). Really what I need to do is take some time to get my dancer hotbars sorted out and learn to play that so I have a second class ready to soak up the MSQ exp once I hit 80 on main.

I have a spare real genuine Mystic Statue I have in storage I got from Redd two weeks ago.
We could meet up and I can give you the Mystic Statue.

I usually play this game every day from 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM Eastern
