One more debt fully paid off!!!
That leaves me with 3 left I believe.
I’m getting really close to finally having everything settled! The remaining three are the BIG ones that are going to take a year or so to finally get handled if I keep making only the minimum payments.

Some friends and I did a fun little exercise where we traded OCs and everyone got to re-interpret that person's OC in their style.

Just realizing that I'm coming up on nearly 25 years of being a rhythm game fan (at the end of December of this year, specifically). The BEMANI series is where I got my start and continues to remain my favorite series of rhythm games.

Day 7 - Rain
"There's a place I go to every summer. That's when the rains are fiercest — you have to stand in the open to appreciate the view. Then, one year, they constructed a large covered observation deck. I haven't been back since."

Day 5: Threads
During his time at the pillowhouse in Ul'dah, Aerik regularly found himself dressing up in different attire for various clients tastes.
He always enjoyed the times they wanted him in a nice suit. It was so much more fun to take it off for them.

I mean this is the alt text I see — it’s just a very straightforward description of what the image shows.
Sorry if I wasn’t able to properly intuit your meaning, I was just explaining why it might have been misunderstood since your first post seemed like you were annoyed.

Day 5: Shoreline
Sometimes a relaxing break is what an adventurer needs, and one of Aerik's ways to relax and pass the time is to find a serene spot to fish. The shoreline of Bronze Lake may be dotted with Nymian ruins, but they make for an excellent casting spot.

Day 4: Creature
During a job to explore the ruins of the old Amdapori capital city, Aerik found himself with an interesting tagalong companion - a curious little blue butterfly.
Something about it called to him, so he decided to take it with him on his travels.

Day 3: Near Miss
Wandering through the Twelveswood without a sense of where he was headed, Aerik learned that he really needed to keep his wits about him. The Sea Wolf very nearly fell into a deep Gelmorran ruin when the walkway he was on partially collapsed!

Day 2: Campfire
A trek across Vylbrand, a boat ride to the main continent, and some carriage rides to the edge of the Black Shroud.
Aerik stopped and made a camp under a cliffside just on the edge of the forest, dozing off briefly by the warmth of his campfire.

Day 1: Starting Out
Slinging the large pack over his shoulder, he turned and waved goodbye to his family. The world was out there beyond their farm - so much to see and explore.
A new adventure deserved a new name too. He was no longer Barahaerz: he was now Aerik.
