This is the tiniest gripe but the app for my local taxi service doesn't let you select a tip at the end of a journey. I'm guessing it's to do with how the card charge works.

I feel like recently you're asked to pay tips before you even know how the service you got was. Isn't that against the point?

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.🎮

Cleared M12S and the tier week one! There is a tower mechanic that also requires Esuna'ing Doom and then standing somewhere to bait a laser that was so hard as healer it legit nearly made me crash out into despair 😭

Starting to wonder how other people in their 30s don't find themselves thinking about retirement and death a lot once their family starts to pass (unless they were unlucky etc) because I have become even more morbid than usual. I've caught myself thinking I "don't have much time left" and I'm 35 ffs

Progging the last fight of the tier (M12S phase 2) in FFXIV right now! The arena looks cool (reminds me of Wicked Thunder) but mechanics in this are very WHUH?????? right from the very beginning

And you need to back the fuck up

Excited to post up some Resident Evil Outbreak with the EZ Small gang tomorrow, there's something about that slight awkward jankiness of older games that makes them so charming and hilarious

The first time I heard Vamp Fatale's raid BGM in FFXIV I thought it was saying "I'm Jason!" during the chorus and now I can't unhear it

Woke up after a long depression nap to try and fix my facecam settings and I got an unexpected compliment from my Sony a6000 ☺️

I would probably be losing weight right now if Salt & Vinegar Pringles didn't exist

You managed to really catch my likeness! Right down to the wearing many layers for warmth, sitting in my chair improperly and having one little wisp of hair sticking up. Shockingly accurate 🤠
Portrait practice I meant to post for Christmas already. Thanks @sinowbeats.bsky.social for the much needed laughes throughout the year and hopefully more this one ✨

I think my life would have been way better if I was really good at one thing rather than being mediocre to average at a lot of things. I missed out on being a tortured genius 😔

Happy New Year to all of you but most of all to the all time legends of 2009, the 'Acid Bath Princess of The Darkness' Raven and Tara. Here's to one more year closer to DEATH.

Goals For 2026

- Workout until I become hot
- Upload more to YT
- Save up some money so I don't feel like I am one disaster away from oblivion
- Say a little less, do a little more
- Don't get kidney stones this year (big one)
- Maybe visit PAX West for old times' sake

My first 10-pull for Mejiro Dober in Umamusume and I got 3 SSRs including her... I am 'That Guy' that everybody hates when they play gacha games 😅

My Dad likes to get creative for Christmas meals so his 'Santa Seafood Starter' with salmon base, prawn eyes, cod beard, scallop nose and red pepper lips and hat 🙂‍↕️

The music for this game puts me in a really weird mood sometimes.

I love it for all its off-beat drum tempos and atmosphere. It makes me happy. PSO is part of my DNA now, it was a formative experience. Yet with each passing year that DNA gets a little older and more lost to time. It's bittersweet.
It's the 25th anniversary of Phantasy Star Online's release in Japan today!

On 21/12/2000, Japanese players could sail through SEGA space and embark on a sci-fantasy adventures in their global network RPG - online with others!

Got some love for PSO and memories of playing it? Share them here <3

So the Indie Game Awards strips Clair Obscur of its Game Of The Year title for genAI usage in development, giving it to Blue Prince. Then The Escapist claims that *Blue Prince* used genAI, so the Devs have to make a statement clarifying they didn't.

God everybody is so fucking annoying now 🙄

Finished up the new EX fight in FFXIV against Doomtrain and all I have to say is this youtu.be/zow8oNjsPM0?...

One thing I wish more language learning programs covered is 'collocation'. I struggled with it a lot in Japanese.

Basically this is a kind of unwritten rule that certain words are used together a lot, but also other words cannot

I didn't even know the term existed until near the end of my degree 😅

A big reason I have been pushing towards doing YouTube content more:

My Twitch numbers for Road To Empress were not great. A stream having an average of 135 viewers is in my 'danger zone'.

The same playthrough on YouTube? My best performing solo video in some time. 8100+ views in 4 days is great!

My Steam Replay for 2025

Sometimes people see what I stream/upload to YT and they are surprised that I spend my spare time in more competitive games. But deep down I am a mediocre ranked grinder off camera

Opened up one of my FF1 scene boxes today and inside the booster packs was a Lightning card I really wanted!

Also check out this Destined Black Mage. He's no Vivi (haven't found him yet) but he looks pretty snazzy

Hope people enjoy this 8 hour 20 min long video I'm posting tomorrow full of backstabbing, lies, betrayal... But also some very nice outfits 🙂‍↕️

I unironically wish I had a coach to help me get better at League. Every time I go back to it for a while with friends I feel like I suck at laning/last-hitting so I can only play Support or sometimes Jungle 😭

Even the match tracker websites are like damn bro... you are ass
