I've been disconnected for a while. Discord, Bluesky, Twitch... bit of it all, really. We've got a little vacation coming up in about a week, too. Still alive and kicking, though. Hope you're all doing well. See you soon, maybe?

There are seriously more memorable characters that start with L than I would've thought.
Comment with this "🌟" and I can give you a letter for you to add your favorite character with! I got L for Logan!

Don't know about anyone else, but I was surprised to find out that Dragon's Dogma 2 is getting the Dark Arisen treatment and an eternal ferrystone was released -- especially good for a few quests. So that'll be on my Day 1 Buy list. Not a lot gets on there lately, heh.
Hey all. Still alive, here. Been pretty busy and, with it being summer and having the kiddo home on my days off, the streaming has been shelved for the moment. I'll get back to it at some point, but the current focus is on the dad stuff. Got a handful of newcomers. Did I make it on someone's list?
Do something that would make Mr. Rogers proud to call you his neighbor.
...everything is on hold for a while. Projects are shelved. Will lurk. Might post. We may need to make some decisions at home.
And, since then, I have made my own frills. Maybe not the frilliest frills to ever frill, but they are mine and I like them.
Dex@dexgaming.bsky.social · 8mo agoWithout fail, there's at least one person on the stream trying to sell me banners or backgrounds or something. "I'd love to show you my work if we can connect on disc-" Nah. I don't need frills.
'Nother multipost for missed days because... life and all. Day 17: Favorite Soundtrack FFVI, and it's not even close. Every track hits you. From the first note of Terra's Theme to the final fade-out on Dancing Mad, it has its hooks in you. Then, when you think your brain has had enough... OCRemix.
Dex@dexgaming.bsky.social · 7mo agoDefinitely didn't snatch this from @spoonshiro.com or anything. Day 1: First Final Fantasy As it happens, Final Fantasy on the NES. I got it from (at the time) FuncoLand (later GameStop) and spent many a year trying different parties and approaches to beat the game. (PS: YOINK!)
So proud of everyone's efforts in our wonderful state. And the countless friends across the country doing their best, too. There's nothing we can't accomplish when we stand together.
Tanya 🧚♀️👑@faeryqueene73.bsky.social · 6mo agoA coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
"MOM! I need this soundtrack! It's got Megalovania and Spider Dance!" "We have Spider Dance at home." Spider Dance at home:

Day XVI: Favorite Summon/Spell Summon: Once you get it, every boss gets hit with it: FF VIII's Doomtrain. It was both ridiculous and useful. Granted, most of the status effects were moot against bosses, but noting was immune to the (permanent) defense-dropping Vit 0 debuff.

Alrighty. We're gonna fire things up at some point. Small test run on the new layout. Should, if all's linked correctly, have an onscreen chatbox, alert window, game window, and placeholder slime avatar... which fits for Terraria. Until there's a good crowd, we'll put game titles along the bottom.
Day XV: Favorite Boss Fight In terms of FINAL bosses, I've got to give it to VI for Kefka. The gauntlet before the final battle (possibly including the three bosses immediately before the finale as well, if you don't exit and cycle Strago through the paths to pick up his last Lore spells) was wild.

Day XIV: Favorite Summoner Character Okay. I'm a huge fan of the 3D models for Yuna's summons in X (Plus, the Magus Sisters returning? Noice.) but I also have a soft spot for Rydia's story in IV. Skipping the spoilers, because they're good ones, I'll go with Rydia.

Yikes. Knew I'd been forgetting something these last few days. Anyhow, bulk answer session. Day XIII: Favorite Black Mage Characte Is there a Black Mage other than the FF1 classic and IX's Vivi? Lulu kinda counts since the X crew all start as familiar class types, but that breaks later on.

Good morning on this chilly Monday! Might be a small stream or two with a couple placeholders on the new layout. Little "Coming Soon" or "This Space For Rent" signs on the incomplete areas like the avatar panel and that big open spot. Basically, I wanna play more Terraria.
*laughs in Minnesotan* Let's see them deal with this. *throws water balloon*
Well, it ain't much, but it's a start! May tinker with some of the details and such, but I like the way it's turning out so far. Definitely isn't going to be stream-ready anytime soon; there's quite a bit to do yet. Might opt for a chibi 2D version in the meantime. We'll see.
Torn today. Gaming or avatar work. Maybe both. Might change up the pfp once the avatar is done. Will probably still be a while. Suspicious burrito from last night is not doing my gut any favors this morning. Go on, enjoy that Sunday! I'll catch up later.
MP is in a bad spot and, if you have a bit to spare, anything is sure to help.
Day XII: Favorite White Mage Rosa from IV grew on me pretty quickly. Monsters could hit hard at times and, except for a couple Cures on Cecil, you needed a dedicated healer to keep everyone going. Job skills, Espers, and such allowed for wider distribution of support skills in other titles, but -

Happy 🍟day, all! Temps are dropping a little this weekend, so it'll be a good time to curl up under a blanket (or two) with some hot cocoa in a mug (or ten) and relax with some favorite shows or games! Myself? I'll be at work yet, but the gaming and warm drinks will be all the better afterwards.
Day XI: Favorite Dragoon Character It's been years and years since I had a proper playthrough of FFIV, but Kain has always been my favorite (sorry, Freya, you never forget your first). The back-and-forth plot with his allegiance had me guessing the whole way.

Not too bad for a couple hours jumping between OBS and Krita, y'know? Taken a few cues from the good folks around here I follow (and watch, when there's time). Avatar's gonna be in the upper-left, text on the lower left, the big ol' game screen dominating the right, and maybe some goodies below it.
