Celestial

Welcome! I'm terrible at questions so I'll do my best!

Do you have a favorite hero or villain?

What do you think would be the best thing to put inside a piñata?

Hi there! 

I don't have an active FFXIV account currently, but I thought I would stop in and say hello all the same.  I'm new here too so I can't say much other than I really like the folks here and you'll fit in great!  

Welcome! 

Skyrim was also a favorite of mine! I felt really bad about paarthurnax though so I downloaded a mod that changed the questline slightly so that nobody gets hurt. <3

Question time!

If animals could talk, which one do you think would be the most friendly?

Do you have a favorite cheese?

Salutations!

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Welcome, Celestial! Looking forward to gaming with you!

 

I love that you mentioned FFX and Mass Effect in your intro. FFX is one of my favorites, and the wedding scene was my most memorable moment in that game. I had to rewatch it on YouTube just now. So good!

I have a gap in my gaming career where I completely missed Mass Effect when it came out. Fortunately, one year at PAX East, Tyrlis, Grieve, and Toobz pointed out what a huge oversight that was on my part, and they put the game on my "must play" list. I'm so glad they did!

 

In keeping with tradition, here are a few more questions for you:

• Is it true that northern Californians have strong feelings about SoCal?
• What's the funniest or oddest thing you've found while out exploring in Tamriel?
• Please describe the perfect pizza. (This isn't really a question, but it's important nonetheless. )

FFX is a favorite of mine as well. The whole story from start to finish is just amazeballs. Same with Mass Effect.  <3

• It varies. Having lived several years in both areas, I can say definitively that they are very different. Moving back and forth involved a bit of culture shock and re-acclimating.
• I was a closed beta/launch player. During this time, there were many things that were very strange indeed. My most favorite were the space bots. They would descend softly from the sky like a feather and gather nodes before floating back up into the clouds again. It felt a bit like: 
• Extra cheese, extra mushrooms, pepperoni, black olives, and sausage. Served by Eric Northman from True Blood. *melts into a puddle and dies*  <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello potential new friend!

 

 

I don't play ESO but that sure seems like a lot of things!

 

 

Whomp whomp. We had an active EVE Corp from December 2014 until very recently, but we're shutting it down as almost everyone is either burned out or too busy with real life. If you still have a sub, our final roam is actually tomorrow at 9:30 PM Eastern. We'll be leaving from Jita in some RLML Caracals.

 

Random question time!

 

If you were a member of a team getting ready for a heist, which role (safe-cracker, driver, commo, sniper) would you be?

 

Would you rather meet Amelia Earhart or Susan B. Anthony?

 

What's your favorite type of space in EVE and why?

Oh shoot! I really need to check these more often hehe. I suppose a late reply is better than none <3

I'd be the driver because I'm good at making snap decisions.

Both! I can't choose.

High sec because I mostly enjoy mission running and the silly banter between new players posturing at each other. 

Oh! I should probably also mention that I've popped into discord until I am able to log in this evening. My name is Muffin, so you might see my face floating among the others in the list while I goof around at work hehehe.

I walked over to Nama by the at&t stadium. It's usually mostly empty so it's perfect for me. That and the waitress will do sake shots with me because we've become friends over the years so that's always fun. Only on the end of her shift though! I wouldn't wanna get her tipsy and then unleash her on more customers lol.

 Sorry to double post but--!

Something has come up for me tonight(last minute invite to sushi dinner) so I won't be able to log in. I'll definitely be able to log on tomorrow though. Sorry hehe.

Posting to confirm that I have read and understand.

Hi Celestial! I'm also a big fan of exploring around Tamriel. There's something very satisfying about wandering around a zone aimlessly and stripping it of all its natural resources! And also treasure chests, I LOVE finding treasure chests . My question: what's the most interesting book in your libraries collection? (Weirdest, rarest, etc.)

Hiya! A couple years ago, somebody was kind enough to donate a first edition copy of Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, par une Société de gens de lettres! There is also a really wickedly cool historical photograph section.

Which library do you work at? Do you mind if I just showed up and visited you and said HI IM MINA FROM SOH 

Awwwwww hehehe! <3 I'm really shy irl(social anxiety) so I just work in the back of the public library sorting things where nobody can see me. I get flustered and can't form sentences when I meet new folks face to face.

What's your favorite Apple ][ game and when was the last time you went back to play it?

Oregon Trail, Mac Brickout, Lode Runner, Bubble Bobble, Shufflepuck, Fool's Errand, and various versions of solitaire. I have dusted off Oregon Trail(I'm still bloody awful at it), Bubble Bobble, and Fool's Errand occasionally, the last time being a couple years ago when I broke down and raided a bunch or shareware/abandonware sites.

 Nice to meet you, Celestial! You're not boring at all. I think you sound neat! 

 

Now for odd questions. 

 

If you were dropped into the world of one of your favorite book series, what would your survival strategy be? 

 

Which of your toes is your favorite? 

 

What would your top 3 recommendations be for fans of fantasy/sf/horror? 

 

What would your top 3 fantasy/sf/horror recommendations be for someone who isn't typically a fan of the genres?

Hello! Nice to meet you too!

1. If I were dropped into the Great Alta saga, my strategy would be to train, train, train, and train some more for combat and primitive survival skills since a lot of my time would most likely be spent hunting and gathering. 

2. My pinky toes! Those little guys have taken so much abuse over the years. Wall corners, coffee tables, counters, cabinets, fireworks(it's complicated), and much more that I have blocked from my memory because it was probably too terrible. They've got true grit! YOU'RE MY BROS PINKY TOES! 

3. Dune, Krull, Exists, Altered Carbon, Bladerunner, Battlestar Galactica, Rosemary's Baby, Poltergeist(original), Pet Semetary, The House on Haunted Hill, The Thing(original),The Shining, Planet of the Apes, Andromeda Strain, Soylent Green, Dark Crystal, Time Bandits, Legend

4. Game of Thrones, The Magicians, Labyrinth, Willow, Saw series, Ringu, Monkey Shines, Anything made by George Romero, Clive Barker, or Wes Craven, Star Trek, Star Wars, Photographing Fairies, Once Upon a Time, Alien, Psycho, Silence of the Lambs

You are totes my sister from another mister, lol. Love the intro Celestial! Glad you found us  We have many many cat lovers here so you're gonna fit right in (I have 3 littermates myself: Chaos, Loki and Luna(tic) lol

 

Mind posting your acct info so I can toss you an invite in game? I should be able to do that this evening, but in the meantime, I bet some of the guild will happen along and begin terrorizing you w/ odd questions. I suspect you'll get a kick out them ^^

 

Simone, ESO's Game Officer will likely want to chat you up as well. For now, I'll just giggle and back away... slowly... very very slowly  

 

Talk soon!

@feramoan

 

ps -- this is my "ahoy there matey" kitty ^^

Yay! My account name is @Amonthia . I should be on later tonight as well so I look forward to chatting with you guys.  Thank ye kindly for the warm welcome. 

Greetings! 

My character's name is Celestial Sugar and I hail from the magical land of Tamriel within the world of Elder Scrolls Online! My favorite things to do are explore, collect lorebooks, explore, collect skyshards, explore, chase achievements, explore, gather everything in sight even the bugs because YOLO, explore, dungeon delve, and explore! Have I mentioned that I love exploration!?

IRL info about me:

I'm a 35 year old librarian in the foggy city of San Francisco. I have a pair of rambunctious khao manee minions who are pretty much my whole world outside of gaming and doing nerdy shenanigans like collecting funny socks. I play LOTS of other games(my steam library alone has nearly 1000 titles in it) so there are lots of other games that I could possibly join you guys in. I have accounts on WoW(casual scrub on Moon Guard, don't judge me!), Eve Online(capable of flying a titan/freighter/carrier/pretty much everything), and FFXIV(inactive but willing to reactivate for the right reasons). 

I've been playing games since I could reach the keyboard of my Dad's Apple II. I just love the worlds we can disappear into and the puzzles we can solve. The never ending challenges that they present with all the pretty colors and pew pews that make the propellers in my brain go bananas. The feels that we get when we see Tidus and Yuna kiss for the first time or watch Commander Shepard fall from the sky. <3

I also love horror/sci-fi/fantasy/ movies/tv, travel programs, martial arts stuff,  memes, chocolate, poetry, dancing, singing, cooking, and knitting. Recently I've been looking into starting a small community tank with some blue lobsters and other freshwater oddities.  

I think I'll stop here since I'm probably being a bit boring. I mostly just wanted to say:

Hello, nice to meet you all! Let's be friends!
