Studying game dev (except for when I'm lazy) | FFXIV red mage (Dynamis CuChulainn) | speedrun sometimes | pfp by Day Anne | they/them
Somehow my 3DS got two different streetpass visits today despite it sitting in my room. I'm scared.

Sometimes I'm in a good headspace and sometimes I refuse to buy groceries until I'm down to my last two packets of instant ramen.

Playing Library of Ruina is a constant game of "how long can I avoid doing these vitally important missions that require me to actually strategize"

Every argument against fog of war maps in Fire Emblem boils down to a skill issue.

Except Thracia 776 fog of war, that can go suck a dick. You should at least be able to see the ground you're walking on.

Starting the ARR relic grind may have been a mistake. Maybe I should just stop at the halfway point. The weapon already glows, so it's basically done. It's not even for my main job.

"I always preheat my air fryer"

Oh, yeah? Do you preheat your microwave too? Sick fuck.

Why the fuck would my bank schedule their online banking update for the first of the month? Three days without online banking during the most bill-heavy time possible makes *no* sense.

Waking up to the ffxiv glamour update news, it's gotta be a good day. #ffxiv

Is there any better feeling than finally completing the system you've been designing for two weeks? (And by completing I mean it barely works)

I finally stopped avoiding my Unity project, but now visual studio has an update available, giving me one last chance to procrastinate

Giving in to the semi-forced Windows 11 update. I feel dead inside.

Hopped on GGST for the first time in a while and they actually implemented a sound cue for when matchmaking has found an opponent, which I suggested via feedback in august. I'm sure I wasn't the only person asking for it, but it feels nice to make some impact, even if it's small.

Thinking about the time in high school when we were in the bus during a school trip and somehow the bluetooth speaker's aux cord was entrusted to my ipod shuffle

Not really a hobby, but I've been listening to One Week by Barenaked Ladies a lot recently.

Five years and 1300 hours after starting FFXIV, I'm no longer a "new adventurer".

It's honestly kinda crazy how much content you can do before becoming a "normal" player.

I went back to twitter to make a single post calling out YouTube for wrongly removing a really great video (see link below), but it turns out that when you do that, twitter auto-removes your post and shadow bans you. Also they actually have no support system now.

YouTube just removed a video I spent 4 months making, I need your help

My spam call detection is working overtime today, it just blocked 16 calls in a row from the same number in under two minutes. You'd think they'd get the message after the first five were blocked.

I think I have a cold or something, and it's influencing my thoughts. At a deep level, I feel an urge to replay Dark Souls 2 SotFS, despite already having 100% achievements in it. Somebody save me from myself.

Googling names for stuff when writing is very important! I just avoided accidentally naming a city after a vibrator company I had never heard of.

Beating Silksong on the same day as bombing a group presentation is giving me really mixed emotions

I love MH Rise, but holy shit, why can primordial malzeno one shot me when I'm at full health with full rank 10 armor and mega armorskin active
