#And the planet Eitherys

I promise I didn't forget about my inbox or MSQ shenanigans, I just uh... I may have gotten Planet Crafter the other day and sunk most of my free time into it.
I can't help myself when it comes to survival base building games. Especially if they also sate my curious side in the form of wrecks and caves and such. xD
#Non ffxiv#Mooncat ramblings#I've dubbed my little explorer Azem#And the planet Eitherys#Because I can't not associate things I enjoy with FF now#I'm tempted to try creative mode and build a pretty base#Mine's currently on a cliffside and would topple over if building physics was smart#But at least it's not under water#xD

21: Shade
Stasia and Storm were comfortably perched on a secure cliff ledge, overlooking Storm’s village. As always in Coerthas, it was cold and the ground snow-covered, but the sun had come out for awhile, giving light and life to the flora below. Both women were comfortably quiet, simply enjoying the view.
After awhile, Storm broke the silence, keeping her voice soft. “You’ve settled in well, my friend. How does Eitherys compare to your Azeroth?”
“It’s difficult to make a comparison, as both planets are so different,” Stasia replied in Thalassian. She preferred to speak it when she was alone with Storm, as she knew Storm could easily understand her. “Azeroth was shaped by Titans and Old Gods. Eitherys…wasn’t.”
Storm watched the village far below, the people made so small by distance. “That’s not entirely accurate. Millennia ago, a race called the Ancients lived here. Perhaps not all, but a great many of them had immense power, and decided to play god by creating whatever they wished. Oh, surely they claimed to be perfecting what nature had given them, but…”
“But people are people and always will be, and those who have power will always seek to make the world bend to their whims.” Stasia’s lips twitched into a wry smile. “That seems to be a universal truth.”
Storm huffed a laugh and stretched out her bad leg. “Aye to that.”
Another comfortable silence grew. Stasia generally preferred to be alone, but Storm was a remarkably quiet person when she wasn’t surrounded by people. Perhaps the Roegadyn also welcomed time to be with her own thoughts.
This time, it was Stasia who broke the wind’s song. “Your world doesn’t have a lot of undead. Alata and I haven’t even sensed any for miles around this village. Why is that?”
“Hm? Ah, ashkin.” Storm sipped from an insulated canteen that, naturally, held warm tea. “Our star, sadly, has its share of unsettled souls, but one of my people’s traditions and duties is helping them to their deserved rest. The first thing we did when we were permitted to settle here was to retrieve the remains of those long dead, give them a proper burial, and eliminate any shades that lingered as respectfully as we could. Every year, we honor those souls along with our own.”
Stasia frowned at her friend. “I hope you don’t take offense to this, but…wouldn’t cremation be safer? There is less chance of someone…resurrecting them.”
“Oh, aye.” Storm idly waved her canteen at the frozen landscape below. “After the Calamity froze Coerthas, we shifted to cremation. Instead of burying the ashes, they’re usually incorporated into our greenhouses’ soil, so those who are lost can still care for those who are still here. We believe they approve, as we have yet to see any bhoots, shades, what have you. And, besides, we send teams out periodically to assess the countryside. Our first Halonic priest wasn’t pleased and called us blasphemous, but even he couldn't argue with the results.”
“I should think not,” Stasia muttered as she shook her head. “Who could argue with a land that feels so safe and peaceful?”
“Egotistical fools who refuse to see past the constraints of their own religion.” Storm shrugged and tucked her canteen away. “The priest we have now is far more understanding. …though he isn’t aware of what, precisely, feeds the vegetables and fruits he enjoys.”
Stasia gave her a falsely-shocked gasp. “Lying? You can lie? To a priest? I didn’t think you were capable of it, Storm Dancer!”
“Why not? It’s not like the religious leadership didn’t lie for a thousand years to their own people before we came along. At least, unlike the Dragonsong War, this omission won’t harm anyone.”
Stasia huffed a laugh of her own, raising her glowing eyes to watch Hekaarn and Fleetwing lazily soaring overhead. “Indeed not.”

aahhhhh i am so sick and tired of ppl responding to someone who says they don't like solution nine with "UH HAVE YOU PLAYED ANOTHER FF there is technology all over the place and PTHH PTHH pptthh fart noise"
ITS UGLY. ITS FUCKING UGLY. I HATE IT. I DON'T WANT TO GO. (It's gonna have a banger soundtrack tho so LOL I'll take it) I don't know how you see someone going "I don't like it/don't think it fits well with the aesthetics of the rest of the game" and take it as some kind of personal attack. Just go "cool" and scroll past it. Them not liking it isn't going to keep you from having fun in the purple hellscape.
Perosonally, I agree with both sides LOL On the one hand, we don't have sleek "modern day" technology in the game, so S9 is very jarring. If it's on another planet then sure, It'll be fine, but it being on eitherys is bit off putting, it changes the whole vibe / current art direction of the game. But also we have pop up screens and azys lla and omega and the stupid robots in ultima thule, the rave on the MOON!! so it's kind of just the next step.
but personally i hate it and there are lot of other ppl who do to LOL just let them. I hate like 50% of this game and i am still addicted to it. There's going to be stuff for everyone to love and stuff that drives ppl insane. it's fine. Purple place ugly, but i'm happy you guys get a new rp venue or whatever.
#basch ranting about solution nine and the ppl who defend it as if its a personal attack#its okay for ppl to not like things guys relax

Meowdred had started the Loporrits tribe quests!
Things are going well.
Meowdred, used to selling WoL merchandises to keep the entire Scions of the Seventh Dawn afloat: HELL YEAH. HOW WE FEELIN' ABOUT MEOWINGWAY MAMMETS? 1000 OK FOR FIRST ORDER?
Jokes aside he's crafting stuff from different regions he visited. So he's actually sourcing materials from Hydaelyn -- Meowdred still stubbornly calls the planet Hydaelyn, not Eitherys -- and not just using the quest items.

So... the Sundering. All three of mine, to various degrees, think the sundering was the right, or at least "Least wrong" option of the easy goals.
Teri is a "Less wrong" person. They felt making a god to rewrite the laws of physics in the place where Eitherys's gravity well is dominant is bad no matter how it's done, but at least this Hydaelyn wasn't constatnly demanding sacrifice from followers. At least, not in as many words.
And the diversity was great and people have to -gasp- actually figure out supply chain logistics. If a vineyard is near an active volcano, there's no one stopping people from saving the lands because watching a volcano erupt and understanding that isn't more pressing.
They're also talking about problems. Teri isn't the only Terapist for the whole planet. They're helping each other psychologically too.
Mneme also is a less wrong. They don't have the Ancient mindset that Teri remembers having. But the life they lived has been fucking miserable, but you know what? The fucking miserable life they lived that wasn't worth it is still worth something. The fucking miserable life they viewed in Elpis was fucking garbage you couldn't pay them to take.
Lin thinks it is good. But she's the one who plays the story most default with a few exceptions. For her, this creates a life that made her, a strange multifaceted being who is a continuation, someone with another's memories, but not their opinions. Hydaelyn saved her specifically during the Calamity. Or maybe A'lin. But in saving A'lin's body saved her. She thinks that things in Elpis were weird and a little fucked and that things are probably better because suffering can be and *is* talked about, where teamwork seems to be a real thing long-term. Where family matters. But she thinks the world she lives in is wonderful, and that it had to be the right choice because of the results, especially given the bootstrap paradox she's involved in.

how injured was Orghana after Endwalker's final solo duty?
under the cut bc i have thought a bit about this
so out of every fight that orghana had made it through before, this wasn't the one she expected to survive. she resigned herself to dying when she lay there, alongside zenos. like that was definitely her last moments and truth be told she doesn't remember the teleporter falling out of the sky. doesn't really remember much of the flight back, and the fight with endsinger/zenos always comes back in fits and starts for quite some time.
she earns nice new deep scar from zenos' scythe that whilst the skin heals, feels like it never just forms back together properly and it like constantly pulls/twinges just enough to remind her it's there, as if she wasn't already reminded about zenos snatching her body in garlemald. was already bloodied up by endsinger throwing literal planets at her with a couple of broken ribs, nose, but also probably broke her wrist punching zenos. i also like to think that in the fight with endsinger, one of her horns snapped so she's slightly deaf / her spatial recognition is completely thrown off until they grow back (and even then, it never is quite the same). zenos also probably taking off some of the spikes on her tail which further throws off her balance. i think the scions definitely stabilise her enough for her to wake up as theyre coming over sharlayan but it takes a quite a number of healers from around eitherys as well as making a prosthetic for her tail and so forth for her to be able to walk easily. she doesnt return to adventuring for months, spending a lot of her recovery time in sharlayan.

The benefits of the expert turn everyplace were transp arnt except null incessantly thought that this benefits would alikewise kick in a tilt emplace human racekindpowert the side of isolation.\n\n \n engineering science and modernism essay\n\n \n\nTable of contents:\n\n1. Introduction\n\n2. engine room as a unused religion.\n\na. Is engineering science a shut in?\n\nb. province for mess\n\n3. Technologies cause foiling.\n\na. Causes of friendly isolation\n\nb. engineering and delirium\n\nc. Influence of net profit\n\n4. proof\n\nThe march of science and applied science does non imply exploitation intellectualcomplexity in the lives of most hoi polloi. It literal more means the opposite.\n\ndoubting Thomas Sowell\n\n \n\n1. Introduction\n\nThe edge engineering is used in so valet de chambrey contexts nowa daytimes that it is very hard to get out wizard complex definition of this pheno manpoweron. Ordinarily, this term implies the collection of every(prenominal) the modern-day disc everyplaceies, inventions and innovations that get a bodily entailment. It is common knowledge that the study priority of both cislunar engineering is to facilitate the passage of working and living of both gracious being. In a nonher(prenominal) spoken language any engi neering is always a legal document, a facility used to p eitheriate time and pure(a) the aliveness sentence. Originally, engine room was used in post to survive, as it was the primary design of the mankind since their first day of existance. engineering science was born thousands of old age ago when a man started inventing new primitive instruments to correct the effectiveness of hunting and fishing.The industrial revolution of the 19th ascorbic acid changed the course of compassionate festering as it introduced industrial technologies to the gentleman and gave birth to unattended operation. The prime(prenominal) of simple machinery grew and this particular opened the speculation of mass production and so was an enormous step into life-level improvement. The south step was the invention of the telecommunicate as it started the contemporary issue of cultivation technologies. The possibility of sharing the know-how and opposite vital education influenced th e economy of the countries and therefore signifi earth- shut downttly changed the standard of life. The benefits of the technological proceed were obvious plainly nobody ever thought that this benefits would also contri merely ife a flip side the side of isolation.\n\n \n\n2. Technology as a new religion\n\nContemporary throng can non imagine their lives without the participation of modern technologies. Technological progress has convey an indicator of the cultural development of every sinkn farming and individual because it resembles the powerfulness to everyplacetop. go steadythis is the point applied science is all about. Since the ancient times men exacted a tool to control apiece influence in their lives and different technologies became the fist aid kit for this riddle. Technology immediately has conk out a new religion. It heartyly has much(prenominal) in common with any religion in the domain. If to exaggerate, the theory of religion implies that a soulfulness has faith in the fact that his idol allow for cartroad him to a fail proximo and prayers can overhaul the man to control God freehand him exactly what the man gather ups. God cheers his men . The like affaire is about technology. The technological development provides a good emerging for a person, too. Technology improves the life of to each one person; it does protect for it surrounds a man with a comforting atmo celestial orbit of quietness for his health, security and in appurtenance to that it keeps the person on exculpate of the latest yetts happening on the planet. Altogether it gives a perfect illusion of control over life and is regular(a) stronger than the spiritual faith.\n\n \n\n2.a. Is technology a shrine?\n\nIt is hard to get or so the fact that some contemporary mountain worship technology. This is in general due to the fact that battalion simply cannot imagine their lives without its legion(predicate) embodiments: cell-phones, B lackberry communicators, iPod players, laptops, speed-automobiles, airplanes, automatic kitchen equipment, numerous an(prenominal) some others exclusively especially calculating machines. reckoners nowadays progress to become nigh family members and troubles with a ready reckoner ar perceived with great aflame involvement.\n\nNot many flock remember that the majority of technologies were created in drift to accelerate the march of connection surrounded by plenty. The hassle is that the progress of information technologies outstripped the human ability to communicate. The market is a flood of unbelievable amounts of information technologies that wipe the personal mite from every single nub transmitted from them. plenty worship the technologies that save their time and give them more opportunities to work and master money. Isnt it wonderful that now a man does not have to real fulfil a person to say, I love you? All he has to do is send an sms, an internet-card or in the best national send a hand-written post-card or break a call. In Malaysia it is even allowed to divorce by a text message. perceive technology as a shrine prevents mint from discretion that all these technological embodiments exist, in the first place, to complement the real person-to-person communication but not completely qualify it. Too much of anything is destructive. No difference with the modern technologies. They entered the life of wad replacing men with machines, replacing real quarrel with communicators and real love with cyber-relationships. So, the pragmatism is that the unfitness of people to control the process of technological influence military issueed in various minus effects such(prenominal) as: sociable isolation and hallucination of people from each other.\n\n \n\n2.b. state for people\n\nTechnology has influenced so many spheres of life that it can be even utter that it actually takes responsibility and therefore controls at least four-s pot major blocks: culture, intelligence, personal identicalness and economy. Culture is affected by dint of the ethics that accompanies technology in such manifestations as quality of life owing the modern house static and portable equipment and in the process of mixerization, which implies the cabbage (or decrease) of the cultural level. Intelligence is influenced by technology in a way that a make do of decisions be made by machines: up-to-date programs allow people to rely major tasks to computers to count everything themselves and simply give the top: a prognosis, an economic computing etc. Personal identity is definitely influenced too, as technology provides the opportunity to chose the way of living, which corresponds to the intragroup condition of a person, but equalizes everybody at the same time, for each person is no more that just another drug user. Economy is not an riddance as it fosters to build pot all over the mankind crating strong economic alliances . Technology gradually leaves no limits for the possibilities of military personnel and military personnel gradually become desperately dependent on it. The major issue is that though technology is responsible for the changes in the caller it cannot take this responsibility. It is the humanity that is to be responsible for what it invents and contributes into the world. And even more than that each person has to take responsibility for the technological goods his children use.\n\n \n\n3. Technologies cause foiling.\n\nIn go against of the comfort modern technologies sum up they cannot eliminate such omnipotent side effect as frustration. This frustration primarily deals with the domination of the technology over human values. The affectionate side of the technological progress resulted in unsociable consequences. A man does not need a whiz to come over to help him, or just to verbalise because everything that is to be do is done my machines and one can bawl out with a friend over the phone, or communicate by sms or Internet. Such social changes with an antisocial character pose with the growth of number of mod technologies. Frustration remains unperceivable until people actually happen upon that their children do not go out but travel by hours playing computer games, talking on the ICQ or choosing avatars for their jaw nicknames.The lifestyle of the contemporary propagation become more single out and therefore result many frustrations. One of such frustrations is the inability to demonstrated advance social communicational skills. Two people feel more well-off sharing personal information by means of the computer that in a face to face conversation. Technology is a frustration also because it pollutes the atmosphere, uses too much natural re reservoirs, going away dead earth and makes people use slight, as the machines do everything instead of them. Psychologists are tired of repeating how important is the haptic contact for each pe rson and that the weakest consequence of such deficit is aggression. Internet-communication, a computer deciding what is the best show gamut for the bedroom, virtual-traveling, remote education, computers telling fairy-tales to precise children - this is just a slender part of what is going on around us. Depression, isolation, craziness are looking for new victims that discharge their contact with the outside world.\n\n \n\n3.a. Causes of social isolation\n\nTechnological progress expands our contacts we can have hundreds of people in our contact-lists, but lock in we get the same result social isolation. We do not meet these people; we do not take them by their hands or give a hug when they need it. Technology brings up a generation of people without comely social skills and therefore unripened people. New technologies have disregarded the values and human goals. Technology is above a man now, because it is in great demand, brings profit and dominates. Technologies promo te human interactions through technical devices but many people at a lower placestand this call too literally. The term community means that a person belongs to a bigger formation, a conglomeration of many people with definite peculiarities . This group of people has common goals and therefore is a unity. When a person loses this adept of unity he becomes socially isolated of his own accord. When a person understands that he does not need to meet anybody in person in order to talk and baffles it comfortable than he is trying to campaign the reality. wherefore do so many people try to escape reality? The contemporary life has proved that people have so little time to talk to each other because of their jobs, not even mentioning the tactile contact that their social frustration leads them to search for a ancestor. The solution is often found in Internet and after some time the person becomes abruptly isolated he buys everything he needs in the internet-shops, communicates with people via Internet and falls in love in the same manner.\n\n \n\n3.b. Technology and monomania\n\nIn order to understand mania through technology better it is important to know the animate types of hallucination which include derangement amidst the rich and the poor, between genders, races, interests and so on. Technological alienation implies that a person does not need to establish social contacts to achieve his goals, because everything can be done with the help of technological devices. Technology, as it has been mentioned before, does save time, but this time is nowadays is transcend on more technologies like Internet and therefore causes alienation for many people . People become the slaves of modern technologies and do a good job in not let anything else in their life they even prefer to work over the Internet not to be torn away form their deity. Alienation means forgetting something that once used to be considered a good manner the ability of a man to inven t and feel the world and other people in it.The technological development of the contemporary world leads to the weakening of the social contacts and connections whose diminution is supported by the new technologies existing in the frameworks of the family. Nevertheless, the society is trying to solve the problem of weakening of traditional social relationships through the creation of same new technologies. Since the growth of personalization leads to the legal separation of traditional social relationships, alienation becomes a compulsory division of the modernity.\n\n \n\n3.c. Influence of Internet\n\n fit to Robert Kraut, PhD, of Carnegie Mellon Universitys sympatheticComputer Interaction Institute great use of the Internet leads to shrinking social support and happiness, and increases in depression and loneliness[Sleek, 1998]. moderne technologies have people the possibility to communicate with each other on great distances, to find new acquaintances all over the world , to search for information and produce it in few proceeding and many other opportunities. apiece of these opportunities is a substitution of a face-to-face interaction. The other problem is that Internet is used sole(prenominal) to communicate with distant relatives but also with people leaving next-door and as a source to find a twin(a) partner. The research made by Robert Kraut proves the existance of inverse correlation between the time spent in the Internet and the personal brilliance of happiness in real life. People become less involved in different types of social activities and substitute them with Internet community activities .\n\nInternets verdict is that it can help us to communicate people we would have never met without it, but at the same time it prevents us from communicating with the people we know, like our family and friends. This fact makes gazillion people feel sole(a) and it is important to note that it makes them actually feel lonelier than they are in the beginning and makes them truly lonesome after some time.\n\n \n\n4. finding\n\nModern technology has born-again contemporary life into a constant optimization machine. The amount of things that get under the process of optimization is enormous. Human social relations are not an exception. Technology will be dangerous for this sphere of interaction until people go through how to master and control the influence of the technological achievements of them.People started treating technology as a religion, as it is only technology from their opinion that can change our lives for better. The primary earth for that is because technology makes the mankind visualise themselves as powerful beings, which cannot be achieved without it. So, what once was created, as supporter to humanity, now has become a goal. In other words the goal of new inventions is to make more new inventions and it has energy to do with helping the mankind. If men do not have time to share emotions with their relatives and close people even having all these devicesthan do they really need them? The malaise of modernity is something that technology has caused in its very essence. homo needs to clearly situate what invention needs to be made, why and what possible consequences it mogul have. Otherwise, the depression, loneliness, frustration, alienation of the modern society will only grow.If you take to get a enough essay, order it on our website: Custom essay writing service.

It's 5:50am and I'm waking up to say that I half asleep formulated a whole side branch of things where after 6.0 Meowdred went back to Elpis with Meteion and called Hermes.
Well, he ran into his Azem first. Who dialed Venat. So Meowdred could tell her everything was daijobu.
Then Meowdred said, "So listen. We kinda suck balls at crisis responses and management. And I understand the thought experiment but this is like asking a hamster to put out a fire. Let's not do that OK. It's cruel. Let's not subject our whole race to the apocalypse. Write a thesis and be branded a heretic or something."
In order to solve the Endsinger Crisis before it began, Venat eventually decided to call Hermes. Meteion then told HIM everything was daijobu. And he was like [after crying] "But I cannot remote-deactivate the Meteia."
"Then transmit the data," Meowdred said. "From homegirl here. Tell them to rephrase the question you've sent them out to ask. Not the meaning of life, but rather what gives life meaning? The small joys in the lives of those beyond this star that bears them from one day to the next. And for fuck's sake ask more than 5 people per planet. Oh, and in the case of post-apocalypse worlds, ask Meteion to stay there till she senses new life growing. Even if it takes your lifetime."
So Hermes did that and the Meteia set out on the new mission, and were dispersed.
Then the Omicron invaded because they used one of the birds to trace a way back to Eitherys.
This, funnily enough, would spare the Dragonstar...because instead of going for the Dragonstar first they went for Eitherys first.
Meowdred: I fixed it! But now it broke in a new and interesting way.
#at least hermes can uhhh help the convocation with uhhhhh knowledge about Space#meowdred surana#azem said meowdred get the hell out of here#emet selch is going to tear him a new one if this ever slipped#it WOULD be incredibly funny if hermes and azem ended up fired#the first convocation members to be FIRED#meowdred going to ultima thule to download omicron combat data and bringing them to venat like im SOOOO SORRY

I am nota big Venat fan, but I think you're missing a key plot point.
In order to survive the incarnation of despair, we need to have practice facing and overcoming despair.
Just like sparring prepares you for war, Venat brings us despair to practice with (behind Zodiark's protection), so that we can be strong enough to face despair.
In order to hope for something, you cannot have that thing. I can't hope for a perfect husband if I already have him. Venat put Eitherys in a state of longing and being without things, so that the people become a generator of hope.
As hope is an emotion, and the antidote to despair, that is the energy source used to defeat Meteion.
It wasn't an emotional response at all. Venat is reluctant and horrified at the idea! But it is the only way (after trying to convince people, in vain) left and it creates the perfect weapon. Without that, Eitherys would be just another dead planet.
Also, WoL is the one that gives her the idea. While waiting to interview someone, WoL tells Venat about some adventures. Venat asks if the dark times were worth it.
She puts us through dark times because she knows that existence, even in the face of despair, is worth it. She takes away happiness so that we can hope for it, and arm ourselves for the coming of Meteion. She imprisons Zodiark instead of killing him so that we have protection to practice this hope. She spends an unknown amount of time planning this. This is not an emotion-driven response. This is calculated, planned, and hated.
No character, not even WoL is perfect and all of them have flaws. Particularly the Amaurotines which are flaws taken to extremes. And at least of Lahabrea, extremes even before Venat drop kicked Zodiark’s face. So exhale your thoughts if it’ll get it off your chest. I think this fandom can survive some criticism of Venat and Hydaelyn.
