I don't know how Pint does it, but he can cover multiple bases with almost nothing but humor and then pull out a surprisingly heartwarming end that leaves my eyes watering alongside the smile on my face. Also (since I don't know if anyone in your chat explained it) the main reason a GPose with a Carbuncle out is considered "suss" is because through the use of "crimes" (what g-posers who use graphical mods refer to their mods as) you can turn that carbuncle into someone else in the GPose, often for very spicey results. It's one of many tools at the disposal of a NSFW GPoser to actually do some very impressive things that kind of push the game's graphics to the breaking point at times. That having been said, the spice involved is not always for horny reasons. Some people do it because it helps boost their confidence, some do it because it lets them feel sexy and empowered for far cheaper than getting an IRL make over would cost, some trans folks do it because it gives them a way to idealize themselves in a way they might not be able to yet in their transition, etc.

ERP modders use the carbuncle as an additional model. This model can be swapped into ANYTHING. An "item", another character..... another character's specific body part ..

[@JayHog1992]

Or even the carbuncle itself, due to the "White woman with pet" stereotypes. If you know... You know...,

[@Blitzwaffen]

I'm sure your chat or mods told you but to cover bases. The act of standing in a raid mechanic to try and get a bit more damage on the boss is called 'Greeding/Greed'. It's an effort to try and linger in a mechanic as long as possible before moving away to increase your personal damge on the boss by a few more %. Before the rework that lets you use your ranged attacks between a combo without interrupting the ongoing combo itself, 'Greeding was an action mostly done by Melee DPS (or BLM cause leylines and cast bars) who would try to keep their combos active for as long as possible then try to escape before the AoE snapshot catches you in the danger space.

the carbuncle is to get a lower angle i think

[@CentreSwift]

It gets worse, tl;dr you have mods that make it look like near anyone you want, and pose in ways it shouldn't. ;)

in Star Trek Online we called new players Ensigns or Recruits

Pint: "Make sprouts hooked, so they can't leave." Me who had a burn out last year: "About that..."

[@Blitzwaffen]

To be fair, if you get praetorium in the MSQ roulette, that's to be expected. Before the rework of 2.0 content MSQ roulette was only 1 of 2 8 man dungeons. Now it's been changed into 1 of 4 dungeons (and 3 of those Dungeons are Praetorium). MSQ roulette and the insane bonuses it has wasade exclusivly for veteran players to play with sprouts through those dungeons with enough rewards to incentives play.

Moogles are a love/hate relationship. They're cute, but sometimes you just want to politely put your hands around their wringly little necks...

So have you wandered into Heavensward yet? I need to see you move onwards.

I boosted my character to I think it was 80 to skip the story and get closer to when jobs were more complex bc I was bored out my mind early game. Ik that triggers some ppl and it gives me great happiness bc ik I've done absolutely nothing wrong

[@TorManiak]

If you're not interested in the story, then sure, you can skip(obviously you're missing out but if you don't care, why bother). Anyone who's triggered because you didn't do the story just want everyone to experience it the same way they did and that's annoying, so good on you to do whatever you want. Just make sure you know how to play though, someone who skips everything and just jumps straight into endgame not knowing how what buttons to press is worse than those who scream at you skipping.
