my assumption (and I could be wrong) is that digital billboard owners run the same program on however many number of boards, so if you wanna buy into one you have to buy into a batch of them so they don't have to change the program on a per-board basis. even if you're getting cycled through, your ad is still getting more coverage, so maybe it costs more?

I dunno about bigger cities, but our digital boards here are usually cheaper and per-board since it's literally just "upload a jpg"

i imagine it also depends on the city, someone mentioned it was in Houston which has very few digital boards at all (though i think more are going up each year) so i wouldn't be surprised if it's a huge markup for the "novelty" of being on the fancy digital board

Counterpoint: the only way for it to get even funnier is for it to blow up violently in their face. And then to learn what the next owners will do with the most famous single plot in the entire game.

Huh, so the PVP tier rewards don't include the lower tiers (or their achievements), so if you want one of those, you actually need to finish the season with a lower ranking.

I imagine they would get a C&D on the billboard and if this was a first attempt the FC or its lead or whoever might get contacted. I don't think they're going to organize a text tools witch hunt or anything.

I really shouldn't have to say this, but people taking fun screenshots of their characters for Twitter is in no way comparable to using the official FFXIV logo and a datamined, unreleased asset from this year's Summer event on four different billboards in major cities to advertise your ERP venue

The discord being advertised also has a custom emote with some useless vb code in it that triggers malware scanners as being malicious as well. Big lols.

Oh, and not only are the owners of this venue completely unrepentant about spending more than my student loans on this, but they've been harassing big streamers like Spofie to try and join them apparently https://twitter.com/spofiee/status/1544369997182558209

Maybe I'm just in a mood today, but the reaction to this stuff annoys the crap out of me and a lot of the posters here are coming off with real holier-than-thou vibes. Who cares if they used the official hashtag. Go look at this and see how many modded outfits you can find on the official hashtag. Anyone just dismissing them as an ERP venue clearly doesn't know anything about the venue scene. It's a nightclub. Yes, ERP happens at nightclubs. And, yes, most nightclubs have escorts on staff. Who cares? Why do you care so much? Maybe I'm just in a foul mood today thanks to my medication but goddamn the air of superiority in this thread can be grating at times.

Tried the benchmark in my new PC. 25000+ points on maximum  Now to wait till it finishes downloading the game, recover my settings and config the graphics and thus I'll be able to play FFXIV at its maximum. Also look up how to disable the RGB, it's kinds tacky. GiantRockFromSpace fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Jul 5, 2022 |

Lol that they dropped 5 figures on advertising, but also lol that anybody thinks showing the hashtag matters. (It's linking the official XIV and SE logos to a website that advertises escort services, placed in a highly visible public space, that will get them in trouble. No, I wouldn't narc on them. But they're idiots if they believe that nobody else would either). E: looks like their tweet has gone dark Thundarr fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jul 5, 2022 |

If anything, the horny posters are the ones with more to lose in the fallout from this, so it makes sense that they're the ones at the forefront of calling out how much of a bad idea this was.
