Posted on December 11, 2015 by baudattitude

It’s been a good couple of weeks since I’ve felt compelled to dash home after work and jump right on to FFXIV, so I think I’ve managed to scratch the itch thoroughly for now. Hands-down, it was one of the … Continue reading →

Posted on December 8, 2015 by baudattitude
