A while back, a certain blogger quoted Philip K. Dick that reality is what doesn’t go away if you stop believing in it. This blogger had tried so hard to disbelieve when the spirit of Death started talking to him in his head, but it wouldn’t go away, so he had no choice but to treat it as reality.

You do what you have to, but I think Dick was wrong. Reality doesn’t go away when you stop noticing it. Something can be rammed into your head so hard you have no way to dislodge it, but still not be real, and something can be real even if there’s no way for you to see it.

My biggest FFXIV fishing complaint

Some fish can’t be caught directly. You have to catch a large version of a different fish, then “mooch” it to bait the first fish. There’s no way to tell whether a fish can be mooched until you catch a large one, no way to tell whether a fish is caught by mooching until you catch it, and I think some fish don’t show up as moochable because nothing at that specific fishing hole eats them. And even if you catch one moochable fish, there can be two at the same fishing hole, so you don’t know if you’re done. I need some damn hints here!

Also, I looked it up online, but I’m still not sure of the terminology. Do you “mooch” the bait fish to catch the other fish, or do you “mooch” the other fish by dangling the bait fish?

I think this person recognized that the people they were working with were full of shit, then joined people who were full of shit but less organized about it.
