I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

I can see it getting a Moogle Paintbrush just because of the Moogle theming. It just probably would be a relic weapon or something instead of a boss drop.

we need thornmarch (unreal) as a justification to make new moogle weapons.

My body is already half chemical dew so I went ahead and cleared out some of a few of the local CVSes of their diet and zero to get some codes to my friends in other countries.

I also showed up at Big SIppin's house immediately after it opened and did a raid with him so I am in a bunch of Mountain Dew Gaming (TM) marketing post screenshots and some "news articles" reporting on them. My character's standard aesthetic is garish metallic green so I look like I am Mountain Dew's #1 bunnygirl shill lol

My only regret is that I've thrown out a ton of Overdrive bottle caps in the last several months that probably could have been used for this.

I bought a bottle since circle k is the closest place that has one of the 2x flavors and poured out half of it after taking slow sips for two hours

They could bring back that fruitcake Dew and make it worth 2000 points and I still wouldn't even touch the bottle.

My actual no joke fav Mountain Dew flavor is Baja Blast but it’s not included.

I bought a Code Red when I was at Wawa the other night because I like cherry soda and it’s. Fine. I’ll probably stick to diet or sugar free og Dew though if I actually peruse this mount.

Just pour the soda out. It isn't like you're wasting it. It is bad for you and donating Mountain Dew to food banks is probably considered a crime.

Most of the physical merch you can just buy outright, for like plushies and taito stuff this is pretty much just advertising existing inventory via promotion. It's really the digital stuff that you'd need the promo for.

The clothes or the keycaps is just highway robbery. And the highwayman dumps crates of soda into your carriage as a final insult.

if you can get the 200 point bottles for $1 you could probably turn a profit reselling the fat cat hoodie, I'm betting those will run out quick

So is it just any old mt dew bottle?

No it has to say XBox Gamer Rewards on the label.

I got three of the 200-point bottles for 8 bucks, and drank them, spaced across three days, to punish myself

This is how I learned that Kroger owns Circle-K. I also learned that all of the Dollar General stores in my city are poo poo (none had their special flavor) and the Walmart by my house is poo poo (I already knew this) because it didn't have its flavor, either.

I'm thinking of raiding in the EU servers next expansion even though I live in NA (east coast) because of my work hours and cross-region travel being enabled. Anybody here have experience with that? Will I be good to go with just noclippy?

you might have trouble with ultimates but I am managing to prog stuff fine from EU on NA and the NA servers are west coast, so it shouldn't be too horrible.

the problem you'll have is having to play with the average europeon gamer.

It's amusing to see a dumb tweet about excluding pictomancers from parties because of the aesthetic, and then see people in this thread assuming that's coming from hardcore players. When we all know that true hardcore players would exclusively play floppydickmancer if it gave +1% dps

Being able to clear, and clearing comfortably are two very different things.

That said, as long as your connection quality is higher than "Poor" you shouldn't notice much of a difference. In my experience, playing across all 4 regions from northeastern US, only DCs with that rating (Oceania and JP) had noticeable lag. And there it basically amounted to an occasional lost second.
