Thanks for dropping into The Tavern, a wacky place where I share all of my poorly executed passions. I'm a bar wench, I was born with the gift of gab, so pour up a drink and dissect nerd culture with me.
Can I Stick To My First New Year's Resolution? | Grab Your Free Worksheet!
Welcome to The Tavern! I know we're nine days into 2025 already (It's never too late to set a goal!) but I thought it would be fun to make a video laying out some New Year's Resolutions that I came up with while lounging around for the holidays. The link below will take you to a google doc that you can print and fill out your own if you'd like. No lie, I never make goals like this, let alone announce them publicly, so this is going to be a fun experiment for me as I move through 2025. Join me throughout the year as we work on these goals and then at the end of 2025 to see how they all turned out. Happy New Years!

I Tried Shrinking Martha Stewart's Viral Eggnog Recipe (Vegan Suggestions Including)
มุมมอง 11528 วันที่ผ่านมา
Martha Stewart’s timeless eggnog recipe has been floating around my FYP, TH-cam Home Page, and Reels feed for weeks and I decided it was time to try it. I quickly realised that I would need to gather 8-12 of my closest buds to make it worthwhile, but nobody who lives near me likes eggnog so I asked myself “What if I shrank the recipe? Would it be the same?”. The answer ended up being that her e...
Free to Play? Throne and Liberty Thoughts From a Not Good Gamer
มุมมอง 1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This video is a little more insight on the F2P (free to play) arguments surrounding Throne and Liberty and whether or not you should listen to the naysayers who tell you that you gotta open your wallet in order for the game to be worth your time. It's no secret that I have really been enjoying my time on Throne and Liberty, and if I can do this and I'm a terrible gamer, then you can do it too! ...
Ordinary Gamer's POV | Throne and Liberty Review From a Noob
มุมมอง 1.8K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome in! Today in the Ordinary Gamer's POV I'm talking about the new free to play MMO, Throne and Liberty. This review isn't like a traditional one, as I don't have any real tips or insight to offer other than the point of view of someone who just... isn't good at games. So if you're also not very good at games and you're looking for a safe space to exist online, look no farther! I gotchu! T...

Was it good? 😂
It was delicious! I drank way too much of it (my doctor would be so upset with me 🥲)
Looks amazing 🤩 I would love to try and make it sometime ❤
honestly I agree just wish the combat and some bug get fixed. i am looking forward to new content soon.
I agree, some of the combat has had me at my wits end but I assumed it’s because I’m a controller user. The target lock has been the bane of my existence lately because it’s been locking my camera even after I unlock off of the enemy
so basically if you dont want to be in a competitive guild and get basically no loot or have a chance at archboss loot. watch this video. if you are even slightly competitive this video is basically a tldr of what not to do in tnl.
No one gets arch boss weapons. It’s rigged
As it stands I could tweak my build to an actual shield tank build and apply to one of the competitive guilds on my server. I’m in a PVE guild because there’s this thing called *fun* that I like to practice. It makes me happy, you should try it.
@@Sheikachu oh no trust me I’m still having fun. We have a guild that hard farms the weapons rn. It’s just funny. I do really enjoy the game.
@adamfuller9923 I’m sorry, I’m an absolute doofus and I meant to reply to the OC 🤦♀️
This is so free to play tbh, been playing 1monthish and im already 3500cp(not blue gears)
Agreed. It is not pay to win
im still f2p and im 3.5k cp. with cherno. I have 2 chars and I sell everything i dont need or not needed yet if its expensive. But if you are new in the game it would be much harder to farm lucent so it would be p2w.
I have noticed that prices are coming down on the AH as more people begin entering the game and start the farming process. It does make it a lot more tempting to buy lucent and gear up faster
Currently 3600 gc hvnt spent a dime made 800 lucent off my first purple drop on day 2 bought the battle pass that enabled me to make more Iv made over 50k plus so far I sold everything for the first 2 weeks then started working on my gear. I hv gotten lucky yes absolutely but Iv also put in the time a lot of it. The argument of p2w is wrong more like pay to skip to the grind cause every f2p person can still achieve those same number just in longer time
I totally agree! Pay to skip the grind is a great way of explaining it
Your character looks awesome
Tysm😊
Playing f2p you Playing a test version, your not competetive even if you grind your ass of. You dont believe me go arena with trash gear ;)
I was in the arena in the vid?
@Sheikachu low ranking
I feel like somewhere along the way you missed the point of the video. Is it because it’s a Monday? Did someone piss in your coffee? Are you doing alright?
Wth is a test version after launch? that’s not the beta or alpha lol.
Try arena normal not ranked
I have only bought a battlepass and will probably do it again ,as my thank you to the game . If you enjoy the game and keep doing so, spending 10 euros for a battlepass is massive to the company . This is why mostly MMOrpgs are dying ,cause people don't spend a single dollar .Remember ,just cause its F2P does not mean they dont need money . All I'm saying is not spending a single dime should not be a flex .Everyone should chip in at some point ,to keep the game alive .
I agree that supporting a company and its devs shouldn’t be something controversial, and in my previous video I even stated that I actually do plan on spending money on traits when I settle on gear that I’m happy with (hence me talking about why not following a build guide is an expensive mistake). I decided to go the free route for a few reasons: to see if it could be done by gamer who isn’t very good and doesn’t have a lot of time, to decide what I wanted to build (I enjoy experimenting), and for the challenge. But also this game is backed by Amazon, it’s not hurting for money that badly.
No they die because they suck! They could easily have started a subscription based service and worked on quality of life in the game. Instead they wanted to squeeze you out of all your money, sounds like a them problem.
Just found this channel and liked this video. Me and my girlfriend have been playing since launch and we love it so far. I’m more hardcore she’s more immersion and casual, but the fact that a player like her is loving this game who is someone that’s more into the questing and reading all the lore notes and role playing the story shows that this game is more than amazing enough for casuals, while also having more than enough content for someone like me to be happy doing every single piece of content and all the events and raiding/pvp’ing with the guild. It’s not for everyone but me and my gf love it and she’s invested in the exploration and lore aspects of the game and being able to nerd out with my gf about a game we both love has been a really nice experience for us both
Welcome to the channel, I’m so happy you liked the video! I love that you two are gaming together and having a good time despite different types of interest. I’m excited for all future stuff in store for the game
Nice review and great production value 👏
Thank you 🤗
Great vid! I am getting into Throne and Liberty and having fun it hit so far
Thank you, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy the game
im an FFXIV,ESO player on a recent break from FFXIV and dont have PS PLUS to play ESO downloaded this game a week ago and its quit fun suprisingly so im just enjoying and dont feeel like i have to spend a penny to enjoy good video u made!🤓
It’s been a great break from my regular rotation. I’m happy you’re enjoying it too
I was expecting to just try it out on release for like 5 hours, as I really don't like mmos and how time consuming they can be, well here I am 350 hours into the game and still loving it as a F2P, lots of ways to make lucent which honestly makes the game way more enjoyable than having to put so much money for not much, you really have to be a huuuge whale to see a difference, I honestly made atleast 20k lucent from the auction house, and no, not a single world boss drop, just selling traits and lithographs and food
Yesss! I’m only at 100~ hours and I’ve made somewhere around 3k lucent so far doing the same! I’m so happy to encounter another person who’s really trying the f2p journey!
Good review. I'm definitely really enjoying the game Ting !
Ayyy! Happy to encounter another person out there having a good time! It means I’m reaching my target audience ❤️
the game is unquestionably p2w. I swiped, and I'm still not fully traited. and I had to be given at least 1 piece of boss gear from [my guild], otherwise that would've been another expensive swipe. and then the archboss weapons are going for 1-2k usd in lucent.
and another fine example of p2w is the arena. go in with a party that isn't traited. you will lose. the dps will not deal damage. it won't matter if you're a healer/tank, you won't have a team that deals damage.
and let's not forget now, that they implement new sets of gear in later updates, so you'll be forced to obtain that new gear through swiping and probably marketplace trading to trait the new gear. it's just a cyclical p2w mess. and this is coming from someone in a top guild, and I can 1v6 a group of traited players.
I played 10hrs to max level building build took more time and frustration . But story wise i like it and yeah i bought the level pass its better for 2nd character creation😂
Definitely not a bad idea! I thought about doing the same because I didn’t follow a build guide (I’m hard headed) and messed up my build. But I figured it would make for a good story so I’m seeing it through and trying to fix it without paying anything lol
"maybe but not really" the game is p2w same as most mmo's now a days, you can still have fun and enjoy the game but lets be real the game is 100% p2w. The only reason a lvl1 can t be 3k+ gear score is bc you can only access auction house at lvl 40 🤣
It really isn’t though. What it is is really guild-centric. I have a 2500 gs without even trying and I haven’t spent a dime. I don’t have full traits either. I also only recently joined a real guild (like a week ago maybe). But believe what you want, I’m not here to force anyone to play the game, just offering the perspective from someone who plays casually for others who might be interested in also playing casually. ✌️
@@Sheikachu I have 3.2k GS in the game i have weap skins halloween skin got both battlepasses, almost full traited gear and didn t spend any money in the game, that doesn't change the fact that the game is heavly P2W even if you don t do it yourself. You can do it if you want to.
I guess this argument boils down to what one considers p2w. I see pay to win more as a scale than a definitive and it’s the reason my answer in the video is “maybe, but not really”. Because obviously you can absolutely p2w but it’s a) expensive, b) you’re still gonna get jumped in big battles, and c) not necessary to still enjoy the game. My comments aren’t directed singularly at you, btw. I just want to clarify this position for those who might be interested in playing but think it’s pointless unless they have a few hundred to a couple grand laying around to shell out.
Your opinions were invalidated when you tried saying it's not P2W lmfao.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I haven’t dropped a dime and I’ve been having a great time! Ha ha, I rhymed 😉
Pretty good review, I have about 500 Hours into the game and i can pretty much agree with you. The only thing that i would add is that, yes it's P2W but its more so Guild2Win. Depending on what Guild you are in will determine your experience in the PVP aspect. You can spend 10,000$ on gear but if your solo, you will get steam rolled by a guild moving in a group. while in the flip side, if are free to play and in a large PVP oriented guild. Zerging small guilds or solo players will feel so easy to you.
I totally agree! I tried to keep the video a reasonable length sand I didn’t want to rant too long about that plus I don’t have direct experience with big guild fights yet. (My guild is still grinding out gear and leveling up, so we only end up at peace bosses)
Dope content
Thank you 😊
Loving your content, keep it up!! 💕💕
Thank you 😊
why game capture is in 900x600 res. ? besides these it was fun video :)
This is the first video I’ve done with gameplay and I wasn’t sure how ethical it would be to include people I randomly teamed up with so I tried to crop their names out as much as possible and limit any scenes I recorded with randoms. I’m still learning 😅
I definitely need more videos like this about other games. This will help me get my friends into other games I love!
Absolutely! I can’t wait to do more 🥰
If you talk to the dwarf after the quest, he will perform the whole song again if you ask.
No way! Thank you for this 😍
2 apples ~460grams after chopping 1.5c water 1.5c sugar 10 Werther’s Chewy Caramels Summer all ingredients and let cool. Strain out the large solids and then once again through a coffee filter in order to filter out the milk solids from the caramels. You don’t *have* to do that step if you don’t want, but it does make for a better looking syrup. This is a simplified version of a caramel apple syrup that doesn’t require an emulsifier and tastes great in martinis and latte’s alike
It's amazing
Ayyy! I hope you enjoy it!
Happy October! Here’s a spooky mocktail recipe start your month off the right way! Recipe: Rim: sugar mixed with gold luster dust Drink: 3oz blueberry syrup (recipe is my blackberry syrup but sub blueberries instead) 2oz lemon juice 1oz rose black tea Purple Luster Dust
Cool
👻👻👻
I used Collins lavender syrup, which has a very heavy lavender scent and flavor. Start your drink with 1/4oz of lavender syrup and then add more if you need it. I used 2oz espresso, 3oz milk, 1/2oz plain simple syrup, and 1/4oz lavender. You can use store bought cold brew to make this an even faster process for you. You can also eyeball your ingredients and pour from the heart. This is an extremely easy and beginner friendly latte to make and doesn’t require expensive tools or extensive coffee knowledge. Enjoy!
“I had to CAST THESE HANDS on him” 😭😂

Waiting for the follow-up video on what to use it for? I didn't look at the date of this video I may be way late
No worries! I have a blackberry mocktail margarita video that I released after this one. If you’d prefer to make it alcoholic you can add 1.5oz of silver tequila and .5oz of triple sec or Cointreau. I hope you enjoy ❤️ th-cam.com/users/shortsotzEIqEgyZc?si=F0RA332eTKutxSB8
I think you could use this for like soda stream to make a blackberry soda
@@Hesavedme Absolutely! I prefer to add a little squeeze of lime to the soda to brighten it up and it's so yummy!
I originally intended this video about FFXIV Drinks inspired by Eorzian city-states to be a long form video but my footage came out all wonky and now I need to reshoot it 🫠🫠In the meantime, enjoy a little preview of what I've worked on so far. Don't be shy, say hi! Let's start a discussion in the comments about your favorite FFXIV moments and leave me some feedback in the comments.
That looks amazing !!!
It tastes even better 😉
Can we talk about you calling a sieve a 'fine mesh strainer'?
I didn’t think it mattered 🥲
@@Sheikachu it doesn't, I just think it's interesting that you've used 4 syllables when 1 is enough
Fair point. I don't script my voiceovers, I write down the important stuff that needs to be said and go from the dome so I honestly say a lot of stuff that I probably shouldn't 😅
English or Spanish?

@@darrenezrasoedirgo8607 haha! I’m halfway there anyways 😎
I’d love to make this but i literally have no skill and cooking also.. English or spanish?
I believe in you! This is a great way to learn something new. Syrups are super easy and hard to mess up. 😎
I forgot to add that the bitters I’m using are Angostura and add a negligible amount of alcohol to the drink. In the US bitters are still considered a food item and bitters alone in a mocktail aren’t going to have the same effect as a shot of liquor. However if you avoid alcohol for religious reasons search for an alcohol free bitters brand. Bitters are wonderful way to take a mocktail from being a boring juice beverage to an elevated adult drink 😊
You know this is what Sanji would make chopper after a long day of dealing with luffy and zoro hurting themselves
I love the mental image image your description brings to me 😊 It’s totally head canon now
Drinks look amazing!
