Hi! I'm M/maoai/Obsessed Illusionist, and I lurk and make mods for games I like to play. I hope to make a game of my own someday, but I'm good where I am for now 💃
I run a multi-WoL verse for FFXIV which I'll expand on below 🫧

Anyway, today's blorbo thoughts are
1) What if Vauthry was a shard of Tuesti
2) What if Rhivana purposely fed Alphinaud Garlean regime suggestions to form the Crystal Braves because she's internally conflicted of destroying the XIVth legion despite knowing it was 'the right thing to do'

All this gaming talk really makes me want to replay some of my favs… might have to apologize to my backlog of unplayed games again, the tried and true classics are calling me…

I play game jam games a lot 😄 My favorites are visual novel ones since the stories are pretty fresh usually! This year I also want to play the many games I’ve bought but haven’t played yet.. gonna start with Ghost of a Tale this month!
Sort of a #wolqotd but more for the players, because I'm curious:
Do you play any games other than FFXIV? Or is FFXIV the one for you?

I don't say this often cuz I don't want this to be a space where I complain much, but let me be clear; I despise anything genAl. art/writing/voice/videos/polishing/etc. No 'buts' or 'ifs', fuck off. I'm sharing my stance, I don't want to debate it.

By the by, this has never been a solely ffxiv space, but I have been using it as such the past few months…
At the chance I’ll start posting other things here this year, I’ll think up some hashtags or something.

Give yourself something to look forward to next year. Something less substantial than a resolution which can carry regret if you can't stick to it. Think of a book you want to read, a genre of music you'd like to learn more about, a curiosity to chase no matter how trivial. Keep your spark lit.

Wishing everyone a very baseline uneventful new year and make something more of it where you can ✨

But uh yeah seriously, even if I'm having a good time ripping these anims and rotating them around in blender, any attempts at porting them to 14 will definitely be some time later next year (expect failure tho)

While I love Treno, it just kinda confused me why that city was picked in particular. With the whole thunder aspect and all of the 9th, I'd've bet on Burmecia. I guess cuz that's an actual kingdom that would've survived randomly then, I guess???
It would've been killer to hear Dark Messenger tho
