Tag: Final Fantasy XIV

Almost exactly two years after I started, I’m through the post-ARR content. I don’t know how much of this to credit to the MSQ streamlining that occurred with the 5.3 patch or whether it was simply the case that the 2.4 and 2.5 content...

FFXIV May as Well Not Be an MMO

by Naithin | Jul 13, 2021 | Final Fantasy XIV | 12

Most of the time, at least. And not so far. Out of the gate, I’ll caveat this by saying I’m not at the end game. Not by a long shot. But with that out of the way, I can say I’m certainly not playing or experiencing Final Fantasy...

Time to Loot Journal: June 2021

by Naithin | Jul 1, 2021 | Journal | 2

Half the year is over already. Crazy. Meanwhile, at work we wrap-up one financial year and begin the kick-off activities for the next. Booooriiiiing. (Well no, it isn’t- but probably would be for you.) Around here, for the blog, I made some...

WoW 9.1 Dated

by Naithin | Jun 19, 2021 | WoW | 3

Cutting straight to the chase — It’s June 29th, with the raid opening July 6th. So if you’re still interested in WoW’s 9.1 ‘Chains of Dominance’ patch, there you go. Not long to go now. Of course, if you’re...

Five Game Challenge 2020 – Day 2: Tough Road Ahead

by Naithin | Nov 2, 2020 | Final Fantasy XIV, Gaming, WoW | 0

Sticking to the five games for November is going to be tough this year. Tougher than last year, by a long shot, I reckon. It was the very last day of October that I discovered the actual cause for my new PC build’s instability and resolved...

Time to Loot Journal: Blaugust 2019

by Naithin | Aug 31, 2019 | Journal, Lost Ark, No Man's Sky, Other Games, Warframe, WoW | 4

Wowser, eh? What. A. Ride. August was a month that started with hype halfway through July. The mission: Post every day throughout the month of August (or as near to as you can manage). I have no doubt Belghast will do a round-up when the timezones...

No Man’s Sky Added

by Naithin | Aug 22, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Lost Ark, No Man's Sky | 3

My gaming preferences are mysterious and ever shifting. Like a leaf upon the wind, one can never be too sure where they may land. … Which is to say, I’m very fickle and typically struggle to settle into any one title for any reasonable...

A Better MMO

by Naithin | Aug 20, 2019 | Gaming, Other Games, WoW | 4

Kaylriene recently posted on Sandboxes and Themeparks. I love reading the different perspectives people have on this sort of topic. World view can be so incredibly different based on your own experiences and when you started. This particular topic...

Time to Loot Journal: July 2019

by Naithin | Jul 31, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy XIV, Journal, Lost Ark, Other Games, Warframe | 7

Looking back over the past month I’m left wondering… What happened? Where did the time go and what did I do? It seems like a lifetime ago that the health scare raised its head, and yet it was only a handful of weeks. The endoscopy is...

Current Games of Interest: July 2019

by Naithin | Jul 22, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games | 0

This one’s a little odd. Usually I have another game I’m adding when I do these posts. Not so this time. But I’ve been giving my games list on the sidebar the side-eye for a while. It is very much not accurate. Beyond even the...

Time to Loot Journal: June 2019

by Naithin | Jun 30, 2019 | Final Fantasy XIV, Journal, Other Games | 0

I don’t think I’ve provided an update on my work situation since the May Journal, so here we go. I’ve ended up not leaving after all. I had put my hand up to leave in order to take a look for something new out there. I needed a...

Second Go-Round with Nioh

by Naithin | Jun 18, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, Tomb Raider, Transport Fever | 3

This has been coming for a wee while. Ever since playing Sekiro, the urge to play Nioh again has been building. Making time for it has been another matter entirely. I have been playing a bit more this month than I did last month though. Although in...

Time to Loot Journal: May 2019

by Naithin | Jun 1, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy XIV, Journal, Other Games, The Division 2, Transport Fever | 2

Well… May is a month that happened. While nothing as earth shaking as March, it was closer to home. In the respect that it was both to people I knew and to a degree it was from action I was executing. I’m talking about the restructure...

FFXIV Back Again

by Naithin | May 28, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, The Division 2, Tomb Raider, Transport Fever | 4

This month has been very light on gaming. Mostly, I think, due to the changes at work. As I mentioned in that post, there were unavoidable impacts to my team where a few positions had to be cut and I know for one in particular this has been quite a...

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Added to the Game List and Other Surprises

by Naithin | Apr 27, 2019 | Assassin's Creed, Blog, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, The Division 2, Tomb Raider | 0

Still not sure what the right rhythm for updating the games list is. Or even if there will be a ‘rhythm’ to it at all. I had intended to make updates on a monthly cycle but here we are with the second update this month. It has become...

Anthem off the Games List

by Naithin | Apr 9, 2019 | Anthem, Blog, Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV, Other Games, Tomb Raider | 2

I resisted moving Anthem off the side-panel ‘Games of Interest’ block even after declaring my time done with it in the immediate future. I resisted in large part because I was still interested to see how it would unfold from here. How...
