Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

All right, gonna try this LASIK consultation thing again. Last place (Dr. Boothe) told me my left eye was too bad to attempt it and kinda blew me off, never even met with a doctor during the consultation... it irked me, because I know people have worse vision than I do who have gotten LASIK. I'm only -1.25 in my right eye and -1.5 in my left so it isn't horrible (about 20/200 right and 20/300 left).

My Paramedic teacher had some wonky lens insert procedure done at another big name place in Dallas, said he had a great experience and the doctor was there every step of the way. Spoke very highly of them and told me to give it a try to see if they say I'm a candidate for LASIK or something else.

As far as price goes, the general ballpark seems to be about ~$2k an eye, so ~$5k total including tax and all that fun stuff. I plan on going in, seeing what the can do for me, try to fandangle every discount I can, and be like "Tell me how much it will cost, give me 6 months to finish school and save money and I will come back with cash in hand."

Here's to hoping that life works out as expected.

My head is filled with meow... .-. it never happened to me before, I don't know what's wrong x_x

Hmm this happened to me a while back after some binge playing 11 in the dark with the aspect ratio wrong and it really messed me up for days. A few things might help/

1. Ginger ale, its not medicine but it really helps with the sick feeling.
2. Try to not focus on the whole screen at once but move from part to part.
3. Get more sleep.
4. Even if your using the same distance, experiment with others. Push the monitor back a while and see if it still happens etc.

I don't know what meow is, but I have a lot of experience dealing with life if you need to chat. My PM is always open to RT people.

1896/1002

Expansion will bring at least a healer and a tank. 10 cookies they're gunner(corsair, cannoneer, flintlock, try to guess the name) and samurai.

I'm guessing it'll be some sort of branch of Gladiator and Conjurer. Ishgard lends itself to the theme of both of those, and adding more classes at the moment without expanding on the duality of existing ones would be cluttery. Thematically, another knight-based class and some kind of cleric would make sense coming out of the Holy See.

Musketeer had a guild in 1.0 might still be there. The class was never implemented though with the line of, 'We are working on it.'

Idk what it's job would be though.

As long as they can balance the job and have unique skills, I don't see a problem with adding any amount of jobs. Also fate grinding sucks giant hairy balls

More explicitly, I'm suggesting we'll see Templar or Crusader and Cleric. In XIV, Paladins are not denoted as holy knights, so that gap can still be filled.

Musketeer would be the class, the job would have another name. Most likely one of those I mentioned.

I disagree. It's already been said at some point that they don't feel the need to keep doing it like this. Sure it could be convenient from a resources standpoint, but it's limiting at the same time.

Templar is unlikely due to monk's denomination.

If they add healers/tanks they must be new classes to ease the load on people leveling only DPS. In 2.4 they are gonna see this in full force due to only releasing NIN lol

Musketeers have no ties to Ishgard though. The only firearms they use are dragonkiller cannons. If we ever get Musketeer it will likely be an off-expansion inclusion like ninja and rogue since the lore for them is already established in Limsa Lominsa. Samurai would be tied to Doma.

Doesn't have to be related to Ishgard. And the concept has been there forever, including Mrwlubebibneriy who still uses guns.

Relationships with the domans won't suddenly stop just cause Ishgard now goes to war. You're thinking too linearly.

They could add Dark Knight, Templar/Temple Knight, Holy Knight, Holy Swordsman/Sword Saint for the knight one and Chemist or something for the healer. Orator could actually work for the gun job since it uses guns and magical speech to attack the enemy. These are all cool though so it will never happen

no, but the expansion classes/jobs will be tied to the expansion. there's not much reason to believe that things that can (and will) be added outside of the expansion will occupy those slots; a thematic approach is justified. the expansion's story being an outlet to expand on the Doman storyline and for some reason the pirates in Limsa seems unlikely.

What if the expansion takes us to Ayatlan :0 That would be cooler than Ishgard imo lol, since they're implementing airships in the future

I'm just saying it's not necessarily tied.

nah, it's already been objectively stated that it's going to be Ishgard focused

You be quiet

Don't crush my floating continent dream

I'm gonna guess maybe Dragon tamer as a possibility. I'd say more on that but it might contain spoilers and drac would maul me. Or try to sneak into my bedroom and do unspeakable things again.

Taming dragons has been mentioned in coil already anyway
