Luciae: Whatever could be taking him so long? It oughtn't take this much time just to deliver a message. Luciae: I sent a man out on a mission quite some time ago. He should have been back hours ago, but there's still no sign of him. Luciae: He was on chocoback, so he should have returned by now. Would you do me the favor of heading out towards Riversmeet and seeing if you can find him? Messenger Knight: You were dispatched by Luciae to find me? Well, I've finished my mission, but I can't go back to the camp just yet. I'm still searching for Amberbeak, my dear chocobo. Messenger Knight: I was attacked by a yeti and thrown to the ground. Just when I thought the great beast would tear me to shreds, Amberbeak distracted the thing and drew it away. He damn well saved my life, but I fear that the monster will catch him... I have to save him! Messenger Knight: ...Hm? You'll find him for me? I'd like to join you on the search, but I would only slow you down in my present condition... <sigh> Thank you. I shall head back to the Convictory now. But please, please bring Amberbeak back to me! The tag on the reins says "Amberbeak," but upon closer inspection it is obvious that the poor bird has been brutally eviscerated. You take a feather from the fallen chocobo. Messenger Knight: This feather... Amberbeak...? Noooooo! <sob> He...he fought valiantly with me through...through so many... <sniff> Tell me...was it quick? Messenger Knight: I see... Well, thank you for this feather. At least I'll always have something to remember him by... The random quests in the world that I've been skipping are pretty good, usually a bit sad though lol Bismarck.Josiahfk said: » ohji I am inside your orbit shall we begin MY wierd *** dream:
I was on a P&R rampage.. Like Spicy level P&R Rampage... And rooks was like IMMA SHUT DOWN P&R TO STOP THE LINA RAMPAGE and i was LIEK AHAHAHAHA THIS IS ALL A PART OF MAH EVIL SCHEME TO MAKE MYSELF PRESIDENT OF AMERICA!!! And then i ended up the Prime Minister of canada.... What im more confused about is how the clsing of the P&R thread would lead me to be president of american, let alone the Prime Minister of Canada XD
Why not? Hmm maybe you can achieve world peace this way! :P
What if i dont want world peace?
You ever hear of the butterfly effect?
Let's say that someone was able to read some important information about the Republican party in P&R. This information he decided to share with his family, and his aunt heard whiff of it. Well, his aunt, after hearing that decides to take that information and relay it to her husband, who brings it to work with him. As he stands around the water cooler talking with his buddies, he shares the tidbit that he heard from his wife that he thought was really interesting. Another guy hears this and is intrigued, and he goes to tell his pregnant wife about it. She takes this information to heart and she shares this with her newborn son who grows up using that information as a pillar of his personality. As he grows older, he does well enough in school that he ends up going to Harvard on a full ride and becomes a lawyer. With this information in tow, he quickly climbs the ladder into politics and after years he becomes the president of the United States. Wielding this profound information, he uses it to bring peace and prosperity to both parties and eventually to the world itself, ushering in a new era and an economic utopia. But instead of that happening, P&R gets shut down. None of this information goes out and this country stagnates and dies, simply due to a roll of the dice. this reminds me of the paradoxical nature of a laminated piece of toilet paper.
Quote: But wait this is actually freaking me out though, it raises so many questions about the otherwise incomprehensible meaning of life as a collective whole versus personal sustenance and longevity Imagine if one day you were given a choice: Become immortal and indestructible for eternity, unable to be harmed by anything ever again, and get to live forever. However, in order to achieve that you must give up whatever your purpose in life is. Whatever it is that you were always meant to do, what you were supposed to contribute to the overall scheme and future of the life of the universe, your purpose… the whole reason you were even created, even born in the first place. You must give that up. You don’t know what that is. You’ll never know; But, regardless, you say yes. Perhaps you assume you wouldn’t have made any sort of significant difference anyway. That butterfly effect theory or whatever they call it? Nah, you call ***. It doesn’t matter - you don’t matter, at least not to anything outside of your immediate connections - and it’ll all be fine, and you’ll just live forever with minimal (or maybe even no) consequences. So, yay! You’re now immortal. You’ll never die or get hurt ever again. Wee! But then, centuries and centuries later (not to mention that by this point you’ve gone through horrible heartbreak and misery and despair because every loved one you ever had, every friend you ever made, ever person you barely got to know, has passed away, died as you lived on long without them, helpless to do anything for them as you watched them perish, unable to ever go with them or ever see them again. But I digress), now, you learn you actually were important in the grand scheme of things. You were supposed to be a key factor in the world’s survival, long ago; but, because of the choice you made (immortality over individual purpose), you were never given the knowledge or awareness or resources or ability to save the world that you were always supposed to obtain, before you unknowingly made the wrongest choice to ever wrong. Needless to say, you’ve *** up big time. The entire universe as we know it is destroyed soon after this horrifying revelation. It implodes, collapses in on itself, essentially forming a massive black hole or something. Stars, nebulae, galaxies, solar systems and planets, worlds and worlds of living people and things, and light-years of time and space and life, all sucked up into absolute, indefinite nothingness. But you remain. Just you. Floating amongst, spiraling around, rocketing through, suspended in… nothing. With a feeling of such unbelievable loneliness that your feeble brain can hardly perceive, can’t possibly hope to comprehend. Not only are you the only living thing left, you don’t even have one inanimate object to keep you company. You have literally. Nothing. And you are literally nowhere. I mean, technically, you are now the universe - if it would bring you petty comfort to think about it that way. You. Only you. With nothing, no one, nowhere. Forever. And ever. And ever. All because you thought you didn’t matter. That you had no real, meaningful purpose. That you could never possibly make a difference. But you did. And now look what you’ve gotten yourself into, you silly nugget. You’re gonna be pretty bored and lonely for that eternity, huh? Or maybe it was out of selfishness. Maybe this wasn’t because you felt useless, but because you simply only cared about prolonging your own life and nothing else. Hm. The moral here? Be selfless, and always know and remember that you matter. Or else, one day, you might destroy the universe. And be left to suffer, and be tortured horribly and endlessly by the void of nothingness that has consumed you. With no way to escape. Ever. Other moral because I got sidetracked from my initial point - all things considered, would you choose longevity over purpose? Immortality over meaning? OR, IDK, MAYBE SOME IDIOT JUST LAMINATED A STUPID PIECE OF PAPER TOWEL FOR NO GOOD REASON AND MAYBE I SHOULDNT BE LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS TO THE MEANING OF OUR SHORT, FRAGILE LIVES IN A LAMINATED PAPER T OW E L IDK MAN, I D K YouTube Video Placeholder Quote: The Warrior of Light is tired from the forced retirement in Broken Water... so she decides to go on a road trip around Eorzea. Use the annotations in the maps to choose a specific area, or just let it start after 0:25. For a specific song the list is bellow. The songs in 2.0 areas are not necessarily linked to a specific areas, since they don't have a theme song for every single area like in HW. I even added some former 1.0 area themes that were reused in the game. Song List: Thought this was a pretty cool "10k subs video" Sylph.Shadowlina said: » OR, IDK, MAYBE SOME IDIOT JUST LAMINATED A STUPID PIECE OF PAPER TOWEL FOR NO GOOD REASON AND MAYBE I SHOULDNT BE LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS TO THE MEANING OF OUR SHORT, FRAGILE LIVES IN And boom goes the dynamite.

Bismarck.Magnuss said: » But instead of that happening, P&R gets shut down. None of this information goes out and this country stagnates and dies, simply due to a roll of the dice. What if I saved a brilliant, beautiful, stunningly charismatic ambassador for peace from being hit by a truck and killed, and in turn her stumping for peace allows a ruthless dictator to create a world-wasting weapon before our allies, and in turn that dictator conquers the world because we were too concerned trying to talk things out? Sylph.Shadowlina said: » i diddn't write the essay on laminated toilet paper, i found it yesterday on tumblr lol Yeah. I'm just bein' a ***. But I admit I skimmed like the first paragraph, scrolled to the bottom, read the conclusion went, "Yep. Gonna go with Plan B." I hate this guy
Quote: Hervoix: What!? A renegade hunter attacked you!? To think that O'bhen Tia wanted me to do such hazardous work... I could've been... Hervoix: What would he do, what would this whole camp do, if my beautiful face were to suffer injury!? My thanks for sparing us all such a terrible fate, adventurer! My point is that it's a feel good misnomer that's used incorrectly almost the entire time.
Pet peeve, ignore me. |
