Long Term FFXIV Goals, Redux
Phase One It seems I write a post like this every few years after I dive headlong into FFXIV… again. This time, I’ve changed my main (different server, though my Cactuar character is still alive and well), and she doesn’t have much leveled up. So I figured creating this list to give me a loose plan on what I’d like to do would be helpful. Again. Much like the last time I wrote a post like this, I’m maining White Mage for the instant queues and fast leveling experience so that I can get up to learning Dancer. I’m still thinking I can do quests as a Dancer but dungeon…

I’m Surprised, but I Missed FFXIV
It Brings Me Joy For a long time no MMO has brought me any degree of happiness, and I’m not sure why. To be fair, I’m sure there are plenty of reasons why, but I don’t really want to dive into figuring them out at the current moment. But I honestly forgot how much I enjoyed MMOs. Just the silly little things that happen around the world thanks to the plethora of other players. For instance, I was standing around in Limsa trying to pick up some gear to raise my item level to get into Castrum Meridianum for the first time, and a Bard was standing around just playing…

The Past Year Went Poof
This Panini, Man It hit me hard, I’m not going to lie. But I’m feeling a smidge better (on the worst of days), so I’m back to blogging! I spent some time during this Panera moving my blogs to different hosting, playing with new domain name setups, dealing with viruses (that was a new one for me), and watching my blog continually blow up. And now it looks like any links in my site aren’t working correctly (I haven’t seen 404 errors on WordPress in a hot minute!) now that I have an SSL certificate on my site. After a quick look while writing this post though, it looks like…

Nerding Goals September 2020
August Recap I pared down my August goals to try and be more focused in tackling them, so let’s see what I accomplished! WHM to 50 (FFXIV) Complete updated base game MSQ (FFXIV) I’m less than 50% away from dinging 50 on WHM, though I haven’t had the time or energy to do a lot of gaming as of late. Some of that is changes at work, and some of that is just trying to work my way through depressive episodes. I just don’t have a lot of desire to game during the work-week due to how my days have been going so far, but I’m going to try to…

Currently Nerding August
Another month, another list of nerdy things I’ve been into! It’s interesting to me how the things I’m interested in change up. This will be a neat series to look back on come December! Custom Doll Videos I always seem to stumble onto interesting things on YouTube. I’m not sure how, but I do. This month, I stumbled upon the custom doll community. I’ve only really started watching videos from two folks (both the woman in the video, and the person she did the collab with), but look forward to checking out more folks as I work my way through these two collections. Much like planner videos, there’s something calming…

Seriously Geeky Sundays: Funny Guys
Seriously Geeky Sundays It’s Sunday, which means that it’s time for Seriously Geeky Sunday prompts! These prompts are brought to us by Heather of Just Geeking By. Today is National Tell a Joke Day, which prompted today’s questions. Be sure to check out the rest of August’s prompts if you’re interested in joining in on the fun! Funny Guys Sometimes I feel like the prompts will be difficult for me, and this week might be one of them! Comedy is not a genre I partake of often, though I do enjoy comedic timing and sarcastic humor in the content I consume. What makes you laugh? There’s a long list of…

Nerding Goals August 2020
July Recap I set some goals for July, but I honestly didn’t glance at them much during the month, so I’m not sure if I completed many. Let’s find out together! WHM to 45 (FFXIV) Check! Complete MSQ through level 45 (FFXIV) Check? I definitely hit my goal of getting to 45! And I think I was in story quests that were level 45? I know that with the big patch earlier this week everything has changed with MSQ for base game, so I’ve yet to dip back in to check where I was. Complete How I Made $10K as a PSO (Reading/Business) Check! Complete Don’t Keep Your Day Job (Reading/Business) Get halfway through A Song…

Blaugust Promptapalooza: Influences
Blaugust Promptapalooza Hello! Welcome to Gamer Girl Confessions. For those that haven’t been here before, I’m Chestnut! I talk a bit about a lot of different nerdy things here, so I hope you find something that you connect with! I am today’s host for the Blaugust Promptapalooza, hosted by the ever-amazing Belghast. Today’s prompt is, “Tell us about a person(s) or thing(s) that has greatly influenced you.” Before I get into my prompt, I want to give a quick shout out to Heather of Just Geeking By for sending everyone over here with her prompt. I also want to introduce tomorrow’s prompt-bearer: Syp! Syp’s blog, Bio Break, is something that…

Currently Nerding July 2020
Another Belated Nerding Much like last month, I’m behind on my monthly wrap up, but I feel like I’m getting into the swing of content creation more a bit this week… which I hope continues! There’s not too much I’m currently nerding over this month, so let’s get to it. Warrior Nun Manthing and I ended up turning this on one date night, and then we both finished it separately because we couldn’t wait to finish it. I loved the pacing and the characters… though I still feel a bit odd about a male character just not showing up anymore after the halfway point when they were a big part…

Weekend Odds and Ends
Ding 45! I’ve been having a lot of fun in FFXIV, which is surprising in a way based on how meh I’ve felt about the game until picking it up again. I can’t believe I’ve already hit 45! I expect that I’ll be through the majority of the base game MSQ by the time the new patch implements changes to it. Though I can’t find details on if Patch 2.1-2.55 MSQ will be affected by the newest patch. I’ve especially been enjoying the eye candy that is Cid. His voice could be deeper… but he’s still fun to look at. No Cam Streams I decided to try dabbling with a…
