A blog by a witchy book lover that loves to rant about politics and diet culture

Then in 2023 I got a proper gaming PC and therefore had more access, and towards the end of that year I took advantage of a discord offer which gave me a few months of ... Read more
FFXIV UWU - The Weapon's Refrain Ultima Weapon has been cleared by your local Lizard Lady. I did it! I cleared an ultimate raid in Final Fantasy XIV and I am feeling pretty damn proud of myself. It may not be the current or even a recent FFXIV Ultimate but it's still an Ultimate.
