Tomorrow I will be going live to play more Final Fantasy IX as I suspect the Patch 7.4 title is meant to be a FF9 reference! Trying to earn the money to get Dawntrail on PC!

Join me on 4:00 PM CST @ twitch.tv/the_essalim for more exploration of the Mist Continent!

This is a strange feeling as I've never missed out on the required drawings before so maybe its a sign from the Twelve

Got to play a local hosted event in the new town I'm in and I'm stoked, love getting the chance to grow the game in local stores! This is the third game store I've helped get into Heroscape! It never ceases to bring me joy to help others learn how to play the Battle of All Time

Using my ongoing non-obligatory social media space to declare with my whole chest modern employment seeking opportunities is THE WORST THING

Honestly, I think this is unfair. I consider myself capable of doing a lot of things once I get taught how, but at some point, we have to start asking ourselves as a community what we are doing to ourselves.

If anyone's got a job recommendation, please, I'm trying so hard and have been all month

I'm amazed at the amount of Heroscape I've gotten to play this year: two games today, two games at a different store last week, not counting all my demos at conventions and game nights at FLGS in Tennessee!

Thank you @renegadegamestudios.com

It's been a rough time trying to find a new job at my new place, so I'd love to take advantage of this promotion opportunity during my birth month (see, that's why it's technically ESSUBtember, I don't make the rules, I enforce them)

Going live as much as I can!

Got the first layer done on this Thyraxis Dragoon! Decided to include an homage to the Wrath of the Colony, a true Hivelord, Ravana!

The grind never stops

I am demoing Heroscape at a local gaming store I found nearby! I haven't even been a week in Texas before I got this set up, the eagerness was met with the best care I can muster for this game system!

"I'm just an Orca on a stroll, playing with any Sharks I might see"

This is an old cosplay I did at Geekfest 2015 in Central Texas!

Feeling the vibes come back, I might try to bring back this character on my stream

Welp found a big reason I've been pulled to Texas

Looks like I'll be a few hours out from a Distant Worlds concert! 👀

Your heart may feel like a brittle glass shell but within it beats the hardness and hopes of thousands before you. They, at some point in their life, saw a reason to persist.

That reason is you. Squandering your legacy away for the easy way out does more damage than can be seen on the surface.

Some secrets are needed to keep people safe

Louisoix died to give his order a forward march

Revealing his desecration would have caused all sorts of time distortions

He was the Symbol of Peace at the time and he gave us the legacy to carry

If your heart is right, you will be safe in shadow.
He that holdeth fast unto his convictions shall never count betrayal amongst his crimes, though all the world may call him villain. My path is unchanged; my creed sacrosanct. This I believe with all my heart.

Don't forget art is resistance.

Giving business to the airlines to take us to the cons and the events that protect all humanity is worth the effort
Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles "Nearly 30 years ago, the collapse of Japan's bubble economy engulfed the nation's financial institutions in mountains of bad debt, triggering a wave of corporate bankruptcies, a sudden and extreme rise in unemployment rates, and stagnation of Japanese society as a whole. It was an era when many were robbed of hope, when dreams were measured by their price tag. "Against this historical backdrop, I crafted a story," he added. "It was the story of Ramza, a young man who fought tirelessly against the entrenched social class system. It was the story of Delita, who sought to take advantage of this confusion and despair to advance his own social position. It was a story of a peculiar destiny, in which friendship and betrayal intertwine. "And now, in 2025 — a time when inequality and division are still deeply rooted in our society — I offer this story once again. The will to resist is in your hands."
