Looks like BlueSky is no longer asking me for my social security and credit card in order to log-in. That was really stupid. Not suuuuper inclined to keep using the site after the fact, but eh. I guess I can still check sporadically.

Ultimately I feel my life and reason to be is about love. Loving who I am, what I do, and who I interact with. It all comes back to that intense feeling of... being and existing. To break and break again, and to slowly become my truest self every time I reform. That's how I choose to see my life.

Finished the Scarlet DLC! Honestlyyyy? I feel like it tied things together and it was a nice send off to Gen 9 as a whole. I really liked the pacing and the story. Really loved the credits song too. No big surprise Toby Fox had a hand in it. youtu.be/eKmeb07Hc6g?...

Certainly appreciate the difficulty spike in the Scarlet and Violet DLC! This was the aftermath after the Champion fight. Umbreon, my beloved <3 He's my Pikachu to my Ash.

And a perfect Zorua! Wasn't the nature I was hoping for, but nothing a mint can't fix. At some point in the (far) future, I might need to rebreed them to change their PokΓ©balls.

I am far from a hardcore PokΓ©mon breeder, but I got back into Scarlet and after a few hours I got a perfect IV Lycanroc <3. Maybe someday I'll have the patience to grind for a shiny perfect IV 'mon.

I've been trying to get a shiny Umbreon for many gens now, and I finally got one! He's gonna be my buddy I'll carry over to future games. I also got him in a Moon Ball, which makes me incredibly happy. Now I just need to figure out who my other 5 PokΓ©mons will be for my main team...

I wasn't feeling the Pokemon ZA DLC until a side quest one shot my whole Lv. 100 team. Now I'm weirdly intrigued by the difficulty spike. In a good way.

This Steelix represents how I feel having to do the Infinite Royale so many times to finally beat Pokemon ZA (and get the Shiny Charm). At least completing the Pokedex wasn't too bad.

Ultimately, I feel like life is about accruing experiences and constructing a world view based on that. Biased as it might be. But there's also freedom in that relativism. Because no matter how much people might preach their gospel to the choir, their experiences will always be different from ours.

I gotta say, I'm extremely happy with how Dofus has been doing lately. I know Ankama has their flaws like any company, but coming back to the game has been such a refreshing change of pace.

Reached 3k in WoW and I thiiiink I'm a little burnt out of the game lol. Barely have the motivation to log in. Maybe a break is in order. Restarted my Dofus journey and that has been a great breath of fresh air. And I might play some Guild Wars 1 here and there too.

AFK Journey is one of those guilty pleasures games I keep coming back to. It's predatory, pay to win and feels like an abusive ex, but goddamn their character design are really some of the best in the industry.

I wonderrrr if I should check out Diablo IV now. I played the Beta forever ago, and felt it was kinda pricey at the time. But now the collection with both expansions bundled in looks like an alright deal.

Trying to pay for something online. The website kept throwing me a stupid "couldn't verify your billing address, please try again." (the address was fine). Kept trying until it finally went through. Then I found out my card got charged for each failed attempt. Now I have to deal with that, ugh.

Honestly? I like the story about the reunification of the elves in WoW. I just think it was a bit rushed and didn't have enough space to breathe. But I'm a sucker for those themes. Umbric and Rommath are totally gay for each other by the way.

Hello everyone! I am currently taking 3 slots for art commissions. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. What I can and can't draw are in my art commission form, you can find it down below this tweet.

If Midnight is supposed to be all about uniting the Elven tribes, I'm calling it now and say Last Titan will be about uniting the Human kingdoms. Including Lordaeron. With Calia Menethil and Alonsus Faol acting as the intermediaries. #WoW #Warcraft #WorldOfWarcraft

Caved in and bought the Overwatch season pass. I think this is the first time I've completed a battle pass in a game lol. Game has been surprisingly fun to play?

A test design for my dracthyr in World of Warcraft. Dracthyr are really neat, I hope we see them come back into more importance again in the future. Did this a few days ago.

Really enjoying Arator's quests and the Arcantina in #WoW. Inject that world building and lore straight into my veins. #WorldofWarcraft #Warcraft

What a roller coaster this year has been for me, and we're just getting started. But... I'm feeling hopeful for the future. I guess that has to count for something.

Fuuuuuck feelings, dude. They are messy, they get in the way, they distort your view, and they are oh so intoxicating and addictive. I should lobotomize myself and be done with them.

Caved in and bought the battle pass for this stupid mobile game. Because I am a simple man that is incredibly easy to market towards. I hate you Lilith Games. But also thank you for making all these characters. 10/10 character design. #Dislyte

Predatory monetization aside, I think my biggest gripe with gachas is that if the character you like happens to be a low tier one, it's mostly going to sit there collecting dust. Not to mention how common power creep is in the genre to force you to pull on the newest units.

Was giving Dislyte a try, and I really liked Freddy's design. But as a low tier unit I felt like he was going to be outmatched against the rarer ones. ... and then I also found out his Meta variant requires you to shell a couple hundred bucks and I noped right away. Come on Lilith, throw me a bone.

I find it really irritating seeing people get fervently offended on behalf others, when they themselves don't have a horse in said race. It feels so fake. Just an attempt to get some goodwill points that makes them feel like a good person.

My personal Game of the Year is Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. Such a gem of a game full of passion and heart. It's too bad it was overshadowed by Mario Kart, but that's just how the cookie crumbles.

ArenaNet seems to be ramping up their marketing endeavors lately. Maybe they are finally getting ready to talk about the unannounced project they've been recruiting for.

Bit of a wardrobe change for my Vulpera. Wanted something that represented Shaman a bit more, with a touch of Zandalar sprinkled on top. #WoW #Warcraft #WorldofWarcraft

I'm probably wasting time by decorating inside the wagon, but I owe it to my Vulpera creed to make it nice and homely. #WoW #Warcraft #WoWHousing #WorldofWarcraft
