perhaps... i will finally finish stormblood... in the next two days... and then... sometime.. shadowbringers... i've always had anxiety about catching up in ffxiv because like. eventually i'm going to reach a point where my teammates can no longer carry me and defeat the enemies in half of the expected time... eventually i'm going to have to pull my own share of effort u__u

with that said is there anybody who plays on. whatever center the server Siren is on... and wants to help me level up tank. i refuse to do it without friends who won't flame me BUT i need to level drk because my character's name is Yasha from CR and she needs a cool and big sword or else i will have failed her... pwease

genuinely i think part of it has to do with the fact that writing tutorials is a lot of time and effort (that i know that i, personally, invest in other things). additionally, however, resources like w3schools and css-tricks already have really well written out tutorials on a lot of coding things (i reference css-tricks' flexbox page at least 50 times a day).

i absolutely agree with what you're saying in that learning new things is a lot easier when you have physical people to ask who can help guide you (just a couple weeks ago i pestered leap about a code thing that i'd forgotten), but i think everyone who is pursuing coding as a hobby, pastime, etc. can really benefit from utilizing coding resources available outside of the rp community and being unafraid to ask questions when they arise in the code help boards.

yes, of course! i believe we are on the same page. referencing resources like css-tricks and w3schools and stack overflow and things like that is what i meant when i said "or you know how to search specifically for your problem."

and i agree that they also take a lot of time! nobody is obligated to make them, and nobody should really lean purely on tutorials for their knowledge. i simply wish that making tutorials were more trendy. especially because they can be really helpful in framing techniques as "okay but how can i apply this specifically to my forum/skin/etc," as that is usually the lens that the people who make tutorials on resource sites frame it as anyway.

i wish making tutorials was ... hmm. trendy again?

just in that. i feel like there's a wealth of new strategies people are using to do cool stuff on forums and it feels like. unless you're savvy enough with inspect to figure out how to do it on your own. or you know how to search specifically for your problem. OR you know a coder that you are friends with who knows how to do it, someone you aren't afraid of asking endless coding questions... you're kind of sol?

i was just thinking about it because i got fossa to teach me how to use variables for member groups this morning bc there isn't a tutorial, as far as i can see, for specifically using variables? there's one for member groups for sure. but it's a lot more tedious than variables... and variables is so easy now that i know how to do it, but if fossa did not exist im sure it would have taken me like... much trial and error
