I sent Orion(one of my nms ocs) fishing because he deserves it

Aquarius expedition spoilers under the cut, if I do this right(kinda, its just the first two fishing spots)

i usually dont post stuff, especially when it comes to No Man's Sky. I would like to do so more often, but thanks to school and my constantly low motivation to do basically anything, I'm probably not gonna post a lot of stuff like this. If I do though, its most likely gonna be on the weekends. So, for now, please enjoy these two images of Orion fishing(plus one random image of the landscape)

[nylusion]

The new Aquarius expedition in No Man's Sky is intended as a relaxing fishing trip through space! Watch as Xycor starts this new expedition in live episode 152 of his playthrough series!

Jeuno: The First Walk - Addendum

Cause I can't fucking leave well enough alone, here's some other BS from the raid.

WEAPONSKILLS AND SKILLCHAINS

I wish I'd mentioned this in the last post, but AA Galka creates skill chains during his main attack.

The short version is that you could chain weapon skills (and even things like BLU spells or SMN blood pacts) with proper timing to create a Skill chain. That skill chain did some extra damage and then mages had a short window to cast a spell of the right element to do a Magic Burst for even more damage.

So first he uses Meikyo Shisui, which was the original SAM 2-hour. It gave you max TP (which is 3000), and then for a short time makes all weapon skills only use 1000 TP instead of all the TP you have. So in practical terms, it let you do multiple weapon skills in a row.

Next he uses three Great Katana weapon skills in succession: Tachi: Yukikaze, Tachi: Gekko, and Tachi: Kasha. Yukikaze makes the alternating ice fields, Gekko makes the "look-away", and Kasha makes the expanding circle AoE. (None of these really match what they did in FFXI, though Yukikaze was ice-themed and caused blind).

Further, Tachi: Yukikaze + Tachi: Gekko creates a Fragmentation skill chain. So that's likely the conal AoE mechanic.

Following Fragmentation with Tachi: Kasha's Fusion property creates a Light skill chain, which is likely the donut AoE.

THE OTHER PARTY IN BOYAHDA TREE

If you look around while fighting the trash mobs in the Boyahda Tree section, you'll see a group of three adventurers walking around: A Hume, a Mithra, and an Elvaan. (You'll find them in the Jeuno area after the raid too.) They're looking for Aquarius, and when they see the alliance is already fighting it, they leave.

In FFXI, once you started fighting something, players outside your party/alliance couldn't attack it. You could Call for Help, and then anyone could help kill it. But the monster would give no experience points and wouldn't drop anything.

RIDILL

Hey look, it's Ridill.

I'd heard about this showing up, but only recently remembered to look for it.

Ridill is a rare sword that can drop from Fafnir. Though in this case he seems to be guarding it, as he doesn't have to be dead for it to appear. (I'm also not yet sure if it always appears.)

TU'LIA

There's a third note on the ground that I hadn't noticed before my last post. It talks about fighting Byakko and "hoping the pants drop." That's about the Byakko's Haidate that could drop from that NM.

Also, I'm pretty sure that this part of the map is the south eastern part of Ru'Aun Gardens. The place you go to fight the Ark Angels should be the arena for Ark Angel Galka (each AA had its own arena for fighting it solo. You could do the "all 5 at once" fight in any of them). And one of the floating islands you pass on the way is where you'd go to fight Seiryu.

Bakool Ja Ja says "there's something about that tower". I don't know if the tower itself has a name, but inside it is the Shrine of Ru'Avitau.

[soulfire-of-void]

psa: do not reset the simulation in no man's sky on the latest update (aquarius) if you have a freighter

it will disappear. you will not be able to summon it and the game will say you don't own a freighter. you can teleport to where it was from space stations and stuff but you will either end up in the middle of space or be stuck in a partially loaded segment of your freighter base with your life support draining rapidly if you do, and you cannot access the build menu or your freighter inventory.

i and several people on the nms subreddit have reported the bug already but it might be a bit before a patch is pushed out.

nothing else seems affected- i still have my settlement, my ships, and all of my storage containers' inventories, and i don't have a fleet, so i can't speak on that. i haven't gotten a chance to test whether you can retrieve your base/freighter inventory/fleet if you get a new freighter or not yet, but it's probably best not to risk it.

Hi, hope you're fine. I would like to have a free tarot reading, please

I wanted a reading on how my next romantic partner would be (his/her physical appearance + personality)

I'm NM

Thanks in advance 😊

Hello! You have drawn the Four of Cups and the Daughter of Swords. It looks like they will be an intelligent young woman with dark eyes and/or hair, pale skin, probably quite thin, small or skinny, with sharp refined features. As a personality they are sharp and quick witted but a little immature and judgemental. They're ambitious and a fighter but perhaps a little too quick to jump for the throat if things don't go their way. Yet they are sensitive, contemplative and introspective, they probably see the wrongs in the world and it affects them quite a lot. This person needs a purpose and ambition in which they can proceed with or else they will likely feel dissatisfied by their surroundings. They could be quite critical of the world and see society as unfair and seek to either change it through social justice or retreat from it. Astrologically this is likely indicating an Air dominant (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) or a Cancer.

[dahliavadrax]

— INTRODUCING: dahlia vadra

The Basics.

Full Name: Dahlia Vadra Face Claim: Megan Suri Pronouns and Gender: ciswoman (she/her) Birthday and Age: January 1st, 1998 (25) Zodiac: capricorn☉ virgo ☽ aquarius➶ Sexuality: bisexual Hometown: Truth or Consequences, NM Time spent in T or C: all her life Neighborhood: Vista La Verde Occupation: arcade attendant at the family fun center

The Personality.

Dahlia, as easy-going as she seems, is someone you better don't mess with. Not in the sense that you should avoid her or not make eye-contact but she's the kind of person who will give you a side-eye before talking to you whether you come in peace or not. She often seems reserved, maybe even a little standoffish but it usually comes from a place of insecurity and mistrust. However, with her being rather level-headed and practical, she's a perfect problem solver and tends to know what she's doing - at least on a more superficial level. She's loyal and honest, sometimes painfully so but if you need her, you can count on her. No matter what.

The Past.

Born and raised without much to her family's name, Dahlia grew up as the only child of two young parents who weren't exactly sure how to even be that but tried their best with what they had to offer early on. Working hard to keep the small family fed, she spent her childhood living in a trailer along with a lot of people she'd grow up alongside with and stick to for as long as she can remember.

She was always a creative person, picking up hobbies quickly but never quite burning for anything at all - whether it was instruments, painting or sports - at some point, Dahlia always came out of it bored and not exactly motivated to keep going. Her parents tried their best to keep her involved and engaged but most of the time, she'd find a reason to drop out of whatever club she joined.

Granted, she was by far no grade a student but school at least gave her some structure when she was lacking it at home, keeping her on track and on the road towards getting her high school diploma, just to sit on it for years and years to come.

Moving out seemed like a good idea at first but when the question of college popped up, it wasn't so much of a question where she'd go but what she'd even want to major in. She considered several courses all at once but ultimately, ended up not deciding on anything. She started a summer job as an arcade attendant instead, that'd soon turn into her main source of income.

After following through with her parents' wish to at least try to apply to college, she soon buried their dream by getting turned down and showing them the tuition she'd need to pay for. It never really bothered her that she didn't get to go - when you had a comfortable and familiar place to stay and your friends right there to walk the road of life along with you, why would you ever want to leave?

She'd always loved the arcade and she'd always loved the small town she'd grown up in - even if some didn't quite seem to understand why she'd decided to stay but with her friends and family there, she didn't feel like she was missing much of anything and therefore turned her summer job into a full time job.

The Present.

Dahlia has been working at the arcade for quite some time now and sometimes can't help but wonder if that was it for her. While she loves her job most of the time, she does crave having more control (and money) and is currently working towards a management position, mainly because she wants to oversee her hours a little more to make time for her friends and hobbies if needed.

She has the drive for it and the ambitions but even someone like Dahlia, who is usually strong-willed and well aware of what she wants and needs from life, struggles with the choices she made every now and then. Right now, she can't help but wonder if this vibe is forever but tries her best to enjoy the ride.

In her spare time, Dahlia likes to play music, go to shows of any kind and find new ways to remind her roommates of how lucky they are to live with someone like her. When she's not busy doing that, she can often be found roaming around the many art fairs and galleries around town.

The Connections.

close friends & childhood friends

exes

roommates ↳ @drizzduran ↳ @aspengorey

anything and everything really!

Healing of broken heart. Forgiveness. If something in the past has traumatized you its time to be healed. Open yourself up for new emotions without fear and appreciate new possibilities. Find the union between your outer self and inner self. Give attention to both the seen and unseen. All things must pass to make way for the new.

The Exo-Skiff hovers just above the surface of the water and reacts to wave movement to create the perfect deep-sea fishing platform for those looking for deep-water fish.

The skiff comes with a dedicated Cold Storage inventory, allowing players to conveniently store their catches. The Exo-Skiff can be recoloured via its own internal customisation interface. Fishing is fully compatible with first and third person play, and has unique casting mechanics for VR players. New music tracks have been added to accompany the fishing experience. Expedition Fifteen, Aquarius, will begin shortly and run for approximately six weeks. Rewards include new posters, decals and titles; a deep-sea diving suit customisation set; the unique Lost Angler’s Rig fishing rod; and the exclusive Aquarius Flightpack. Water reflections are now enabled for PSVR2. PCVR now supports reflections on the water while running with reflections set to Ultra. Fixed an issue that could make it difficult to interact with some space station objects while in VR. Previously, a major free No Man's Sky update 4.40 added a relaxed mode, overhauled inventories, revamped UI, and improved missions. Unfortunately, players are still experiencing several issues. NMS update 5.10 will fix a few of these issues. Download free No Mans Sky update 5.10 on Sony PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One.

[hymn-of-muse]

requesting for a match up with genshin impact and honkai star rail men please and ty!!

*leans on table with a devishlish smile*

hehe here comes the best intro known to man

Pronouns: any but afab

height: 5'3 (at least I'm taller than my mom HA)

Personality type: ENTJ

Zodiac: aquarius (Aquarius-Capricorn if u wanna get technical)

Personality: alright chum so uhhhh I've been described as funny, witty, sarcastic, aggressive, energetic, friendly, teasing, confident, blah blah. I like to make others smile and laugh (I'm a bit of an entertainer perhaps). I make funny jokes all the time (whether it be corny puns, dad jokes, dirty jokes) and love to affectionately tease others. My love language might even be insulting you because I'm afraid of being vulnerable and at this point being aggressive is my whole ass personality. I usually dont intend to hurt others but do so unintentionally. Erm I'm kinda smart i suppose (dont ask how idk myself). Caring. Protective of friends and family. Usually all smiles and like making new friends/associates. Not the emotional type because emotions scare me and shiz. I'm the type to go "I'm going to fist fight god" when something isnt going my way. Ambivert. I'm kinda athletic but dont do any sports because I dont got no time for that. Very competitive, however. Id probably scream "EAT SHIT" at the other time if a) we win or b) we lose. Also, I'm the flirty type, so if I'm comfortable enough with you, expect the rizzler to appear. Also prepare for some down bad quotes from me.

Hobbies: drawing, listening to music, writing, reading, bullying people for my amusement/j

and that's it i believe ty ❤❤

hi sorry matchups are closed please read my pinned post /lh /nm

[miqo-tales]

Jeuno: The First Walk

Context, references, and random BS about stuff in the first FFXI raid and the quests before and after.

Tossing under a Read More mainly because I talked too much and I don't wanna throw a giant ass post on your dash.

Enjoy!

THE RAID

An interesting thing about music: in the Boyahda Tree and Tu'Lia sections, the music changes to the battle theme when engaging the trash mobs, and then it fades out once they're dead.

Oh, and just to note, given that FFXI and FFXIV have different combat systems and visuals, even if I mention that a boss ability is something from FFXI, understand I don't mean it's the same in regards to visuals or mechanics. I'm mainly just pointing out references.

PRISHE

Prishe is a MNK and a WHM, so she fights hand to hand, but can also use Holy / Light-elemental spells.

Nullifying Dropkick, Auroral Uppercut, and Knuckle Sandwich are unique weaponskills that Prishe uses in FFXI.

Asuran Fists is a Hand-to-Hand weaponskill in FFXI, only useable by MNK and PUP. Learning it required getting to a certain level of H2H skill and then doing a quest. It hits 8 times, and so does this version of it.

Her "You can't stop the flood of mortal existence!" line is something she said in FFXI.

BOYAHDA TREE

Aquarius was a NM crab in FFXI. There was a chance it would spawn instead of one of the normal crab enemies in the Boyahda Tree zone. Oddly, in the raid it uses Hundred Fists, which is the original MNK 2-hour (it made you attack very fast for a short time). In FFXI, this mob was a PLD, not a MNK. But it did have a very high attack speed, so I assume they gave it that ability to simulate that.

(I'm pretty sure Aquarius once spawned and killed me while I was trying to raise my Scythe skill on the crabs in the Tree. A friend came and raised me and helped me kill it for revenge.)

No music plays when you're not fighting something, which fits, because the Boyahda Tree zone in FFXI doesn't have any background music.

FAFNIR

Honestly not much to say about Fafnir. Overall, most of its attacks share names with ones it does in FFXI and are kinda similar. Spike Flail hit everyone in range in FFXI, and Dragon Breath was a frontal cone, for two examples.

One other thing: I didn't know this, but in FFXI there's a stronger version of Fafnir, Nidhogg. Way back, Fafnir used to be a timed spawn, and there was a chance Nidhogg would spawn instead (now they're both spawned by items). So I wonder if maaaaaaaybe there's a chance you go into this raid and it's called Nidhogg instead?

TU'LIA

Technically this is Ru'Aun Gardens. That's the actual name of the zone. But it's on the floating island of Tu'Lia. Players usually just called it "sky".

A note on the ground mentions trying to get to Ve'Lugannon Palace and missing the raid. I think the only thing this can be about is spawning Kirin. A few NMs in the palace dropped items to spawn some NMs that then dropped items used to spawn Kirin.

Another note on the ground is referencing the Ark Angels.

Despot is a NM Doll that dropped an item used to spawn Genbu, which in turn dropped an item used to spawn Kirin.

ARK ANGELS

Man this fight is a banger.

Their lines like "You shall be defeated by the apathy that plagues you…" are directly from FFXI.

AA Galka is a SAM and DRG. His pattern of using Meikyo Shisui and three Great Katana weaponskills is exactly how he behaves in his FFXI fight, right down to which three weaponskills he uses. Also, Dragonfall is a unique weaponskill he had in FFXI.

AA Tarutaru is a BLM and DRK. Guillotine was a four-hit Scythe weaponskill only available to DRKs (it was single target though).

AA Mithra is a BST and THF. In FFXI she'd summon a pet to assist her, but alas, she doesn't do that here. Her Rampage and Cloudsplitter moves are named after Axe weaponskills from FFXI, while Havoc Spiral is her unique weaponskill.

AA Elvaan is a PLD and WHM. Dominion Slash is her unique weaponskill in FFXI. Arrogance Incarnate is also something she used in FFXI, but it's just her own version of another weaponskill available to players, so not really unique.

AA Hume is a WAR and NIN, and man, he does a lot. Cross Reaver is his unique weaponskill in FFXI. Utsusemi was a NIN spell that gave you shadow doubles that absorbed attacks for you. Mighty Strikes is the original WAR 2-hour ability. It made every attack a critical, which is why he then uses Critical Reaver. And he tries to use Mijin Gakure, which was the original NIN 2-hour. You blew yourself up to deal damage based on your HP.

SHADOW LORD

Giga Slash and Implosion are attacks he had in FFXI. Tera Slash is from the Dynamis Lord fight though. Creating clones of himself is also something from the Dynamis Lord version.

OTHER STUFF

ALXAAL

I am 99% sure this is a character from Chains of Promathia called Louverance. That's also not his real name, but we won't go into that right now. Bakool Ja Ja naming him "vagabond" is kinda appropriate.

Honestly, I find it kinda funny they used this character. If you'd asked me to suggest CoP characters that could show up in this storyline, he would not have been on my list.

Also, Alxaal initally thinking he's been captured by the Mamool Ja may be a nod to the Besieged system in Treasures of Aht Urghan. At times, a horde of beastmen (Mamool Ja, Trolls, or Undead) will march on and attack the capital city of Al Zahbi in order to steal the Astral Candescence. Players have to fight them off. Certain NPCs can be captured as well, and players can go rescue them.

ULMIA

An Elvaan female, a very talented singer, and basically the nicest person ever. She lives in the Tavnazian Safehold and is Prishe's best friend. She's more or less "cute girl important to the plot #2" for Chains of Promathia.

THE TAVNAZIA MARQUISATE

Sister city to San d'Oria, located on an archipelago off the west coast of Quon. The opening cutscene of FFXI shows it being attacked by the Beastmen Horde during the Crystal War.

During the Crystal War, San d'Oria leaked false information to the Beastmen to get them to attack Tavnazia. Partially to get some pressure off the kingdom, but also because Tavnazia had a close relationship with the Empire of Aht Urhgan to the east. The hope was that the Empire would join the fight against the Beastmen after Tavnazia was attacked.

But the Empire didn't get involved, and later Tavnazia was destroyed by an explosion. The common belief is that it was an Orc superweapon, like Prishe says, but that's not what actually happened.

LITTLE THINGS

I was confused by Prishe talking about liking tacos until I happened to talk to Alxaal and he mentioned Tavnazian tacos. They're a food item that increases defense. I'd forgotten about them.

Just a little tidbit, the Aldo that Prishe mentions is also from Tavnazia. He's also the little boy in the FFXI opening cutscene.

The Hume Adventurer mentions his gear came from exploring the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins. I suspect that's referring to Salvage missions that you access from that zone. His equipment resembles the Ares set you can get from that.

Heh. This shade in fake Jeuno appears to be "looking for group" or "looking for members". No party finder in FFXI (at least when I played, dunno about now), so you'd frequently see people shouting to find groups or members for leveling or missions.

Teleport taxis! There's another shade with pop-up text mentioning Mea and 1k. The Crag of Mea was one of a few places that you could teleport to via a spell, but only WHMs could cast it. (And there was a unique spell for each place.) So you'd frequently be paying someone to teleport you.

The Auction House in FFXI works differently than the Market Board in FFXIV. The seller sets a mininum price for the item they put up for sale, and pays a fee based on that minimum price. The buyer cannot see this minimum price, and makes a bid. If the bid equals or exceeds the minimum price, the buyer gets the item and the seller receives the amount of gil the buyer bid.

Prishe's last sentence is a reference to the Bazaar, but specifically to how players would avoid the tax that it used to have. The Bazaar is an alternate to the Auction House and lets you sell directly from your inventory. But selling via the Bazaar while in town used to incur a tax, so players would idle just outside Jeuno in Rolanberry Fields. I called it "Rolanberry Market". SQEX eventually removed the tax.

In FFXI, you unlock the ability to use a Support Job, or sub job, at level 18 by doing a quest either in Selbina or Mhaura. Both quests make you collect three items from monsters, but they require different items. What Alxaal is describing here is the Selbina one, which was the easier one to do.

Bud my ques is-

▪︎What will my job situation be like in 2022?

Hello, I admire Aquarius Ascendants.

I have the II of Pentacles in reverse, VIII of Pentacles, Knight of Pentacles, III of Wands, X of Pentacles, The Emperor

I'm feeling anxiety there could be a feeling of things being out of wack for a little. You are working hard though but it could feel it's not really moving at the pace that you expect/want. However, it seems you have enough finances. Perhaps it's just you don't feel as emotionally satisfied/happy as you want to in the job. You might try to find other job opportunities and there could be a change coming in terms of your job but it may be next year.

Does it resonate? Please leave feedback. 🧿✨
