Got my 32 Arcanist to Thanalan for starting Thaumaturge. I had accidently put the wrong birthday into my Square Enix FFXIV account portal and had to call their office to get it fixed. They were able to activate the account for my interest in playing. I got a 60 days game card from Amazon on my public guardian's shopping list. When I am over my free trial barriers (like, being level 50+ for example). When I get to level 30 with the Thaumaturge job class I'll be going for Black Mage role and quest. My player is on the Aether data center, for North America. I was fighting the Chupacabra, but the fighters involved ran away leaving it to regenerate. It ended up being a waste of time to try to kite the level 14 mob with another player for the experience points gain and Gil. While leveling Thaumaturge I have to stock up on Potions/Hi-Potions for grinding level up on FATEs and Levequests.Β
It was relatively a pain to fix my Zephyrus G16 working correctly. I was fearing the worst from rebooting to install Linux and failing through the BIOS UEFI Secure Boot over 30 times. The colors kept blotting down and being layered into visable diffusion artifacts. Finally selecting one of the options in G Helper allowed my computer to come back to normal. I am using the RTS/RPG "Neutral" setting. I thought I had damaged the machine with that bug. So after fixing it still runs FFXI really good, plus I even got an overclock app from ASUS working. I was fearing that I broke my graphics card(s) in the machine I use. This laptop is fast and powerful and I've used 250GB already of the 2 TB space. The thing runs like an antique, with the components inside fitting well and uniquely, giving a little grimmace here and there of odd graphics, or "quirky" or "flickerly", as I call it, behavior. The machine is still working really well and I'm proud of having it fixed. One of the issues was with the effective use of blacks and cover shades for graphics artifacts/tearing effects in Youtube videos.Β
On the Radeon 890M graphics alone I can run FFXIV (game of subject) pretty well in towns. Involving the NVIDIA RTX 4070 dedicated ("Ultimate" setting in GHelper) causes me to get spoiled, the graphics are mostly fluid and more immersive. The computer certainly helps, and I'm thankful to Dan W. for getting me this machine. I'm continuing to my system administrator roots, so find me at limitsite.tech when you want to follow that related material.
