Hello! My name is Flanna, and I work primarily on FFXIV! Stuff to think about: ✨ This is a personal account! I won’t/can’t talk about my work! ✨ Please don’t send me bugs! ✨ I enjoy reading and will talk about books. ✨ I yap a lot in general. ✨ I got two cats and a dog. ✨ I am an all around nerd.

Making stuff for work tomorrow 👻🎃

Worst fears confirmed: 1. Made too much fudge. 2. The first batch of fudge, the first one you’ve ever made ever in your life that was supposed to be the joke fudge thus all the candy corn embedded, is the better of the two batches you made

Lrp I love ME, I love DA, but without the heart that was the dev team, more often than not the result is a hallow imitation of what once was. Devs make the game, not the franchise.

it is done now we do The Answer

Is this a safe place to admit that I never actually beat The Answer when I was younger because it was such a massive difficulty spike for someone like me who is bad at video games so I ended up watching a let’s play instead LMAO

JP knowers, how do we feel about Lingo Deer

Maybe the new Japanese curry bun from 85 Degrees can fix me

BioWare is dead and new horror novels are impossible to find because they’re “niche” all I want is milk tea and curry to heal my soul and I don’t think that’s a big ask

BioWare being shuttered is personally heartbreaking. I love their games, I have a Grey Warden tattoo because of how much DA:O means to me. The people there deserved so much better. What a vile industry this has become.

I literally don't have words for the news of EA closing Bioware. Unconscionable, incompetent, soulless decision-making. May everyone involved in these decision suffer Renegade interrupts for the rest of their lives.

All day in office: I just wanna play Persona or Overwatch or maybe finally try to get good at Deadlock :( The moment I get home: what if I just passed the fuck out for three hours actually

I did not do this today despite really kind of wanting to, but I have done so in the past.

I regret to inform everyone that I love Robert Eggers’s work and I love werewolves, so in two months time I’m going to become intensely and immediately insufferable.

I still haven’t seen Northmen yet but everything else he’s done is exactly the kind of artsy esoteric horror I love and I’m frothing at the fucking mouth for Werwulf

I will never do this well ever again

One of my cats might be sick. Barely slept and have to wait for the urgent care to call me back to know if there’s anything actually wrong. Time for stupid retail therapy in the vain hope I feel a little better and don’t become manic.

She is home and pissed off and wants food (she can’t have any for 2 hours)

Solidarity is everyone in the Slack thread responding with a singular despair emoji of their own choosing independent from one another over something extremely inconsequential.

Considering that 30% of my job is worrying about commas and hyphens, this is a very normal occurrence

I’m staying over at my parents’ tonight because they’re out of town and want someone to be with their big dog. They live in a very quiet area. I was not exactly thrilled to hear spooky banging sounds outside at about 3:45 in the morning and then not see said big dog in the place he was.

View full thread

I go to the den, close the dog door, give Kodiak many pets and kisses and tell him he’s so brave and strong and fearsome, but we’re not fighting a bear tonight.

The bravest dummy in all of CA.

I creep downstairs, just in case, and see Kodiak at the window, quietly growling. I see something out there. Now with mildly higher panic, I grab the nearest flashlight, and in my cowardice check the backyard first. Nothing. I check the front, and there is a torn up trash bag mocking me. Ah.

Very carefully, I open the front door, turn the flashlight to where the garbage bins are kept, and see one completely overturned. *Ah*.

Hyperbolically trapped like a rat in a house with a big dog so I have an actual kitchen to mess around in so I made cookies

I’m putting them in the fridge to “marinate” and I’m suffering for it

My dad providing me very important updates when I’m in office and he’s babysitting.

lighthouses should be made illegal. those poor rocks cannot be expected to subsist on litter and debris. they need full meals

Saw Practical Magic 2 yesterday and Resident Evil this morning. A very interesting tonal shift to say the least lmao

Resident Evil was VERY good and if you already like Zach Cregger movies and aren’t a video game purist, you’ll have a great time, I think.

Practical Magic 2 was fine. A little goofy and you have to just let the movie take you for a ride because things start falling apart if you question the plot too much.

Some days there are conversations that are very funny at work and I would love to post them out of context, but unfortunately I like my job despite everything so I can’t post them anywhere But know they were very funny and I almost starting cry-laughing lunging for a keyboard in an open office.

I saw Luce Dacus tonight with my family 🥰 it was nice to just hang out with my parents and sister while listening to very talented musicians. Unrelated, but have you even been to a concert so sapphic you could feel it radiating all around you.

13 Sept

pain and suffering

I say this but I got most of my fake pokemon on my first capture attempt LMAO

I am aged to the ripe age of officially in my mid-thirties

turning 35 apparently means your front door knob breaks (thankfully with you inside the house, small miracles) and that your car breaks down when your dad is with you trying to help you with said door knob it's fine, i'm fine, i definitely didn't have a minor cry sesh not but 10 minutes ago

honestly as shitty as the afternoon has been, I am extremely thankful that I am surrounded by good people who will take time out of their day and go out of their way to help me and cheer me up 🥺 despite everything, there is still joy to be had, and that can be enough.

Another year, another expansion done. Thank you to everyone on my team for all their hard work. Thank you to my colleagues near and far, and to those we lost along the way; I hope you found a brighter horizon. And thank you 🫵 for playing, and for reminding why I still love what I do. See u in EC❄️
