Just some chronicles of a cute little green critter from Malaysia. He/Him pronouns preferred. Twitch Affiliate since November 2022: https://www.twitch.tv/marwangreencritter English, Bahasa Melayu.

I truly pine for when games were more focused on stylized visuals, rather than this absurd obsession for realism we've been getting as of late. "Stylized" doesn't have to mean everything needs to be stylized. You *can* have realistic lighting and environment, but with stylized character designs.

Sonic Rumble Party is giving me anger issues. I'm serious. I felt bad for the way I acted, while I was in a friend's VC during their Rumble stream yesterday. I almost ragequitted after another friend brought me from 2nd to 4th in the very last second. I almost wanted to hate that friend so much...

Ever had that moment where you've heard this cool tune in the game you're playing, but that tune is *not* available in the official soundtrack? That happens sometimes. It sucks that the only way to get that missing soundtrack is via extracting the game's data. >_o

I've been screwing around in PSO2:NGS' character editor again. I found out that the size of waist accessories are tied to the size of your character's ass. That also includes tails, too. Modifying my character's thigh and butt sizes, I was able to make my dragon tail even BIGGER and LONGER. XDDD

As of late, I began intentionally starting my Twitch streams 15 minutes late. It's not only to add extra time for me to meditate before streaming, but also to allow more padding for the ad timer, essentially giving myself 15 minutes of padded time for manual ad triggers per hour.

I may be a dragon now in PSO2:NGS, but times could change, depending on what newer content that Sega releases in the future. Last NGS Headline Wave, Sega teased a bombshell: actual animal face options. Not a mask or head model replacement, but entire animal faces that can emote like the human faces.

This is my current look in PSO2:NGS. I've been experimenting with "phasion" a lot, since Sega released those dragon parts. And yes, I've enlarged that tail to be as big and long as the game allows. I'm a tail-lover, remember? It was out of amusement at first, but I like it so much that it stuck.

As if having phone issue (where bank app stop support for older OS and lock me out of online transaction approval) wasn't enough headache for me, I now have to deal with the monitor problem (where it going black intermittently even during non-game/stream activities.). 😓

Honestly, I can't think of a good title for this one. ^_^;; It's an excuse for me to challenge myself to draw a difficult dynamic pose, something that's very tricky to get it right in illustration. I've been doing those hand gestures sometimes IRL, too.

A picture of a green fluffy creature with a very long tail and a pair of long floppy ears doing a dynamic pose, with both of his hands extending towards the camera. The tips of both of his floppy ears appeared to have been blown upwards by an invisible aura emanating from the "coolness" of this creature.

This morning, I've finally watched the final episode of The Amazing Digital Circus. I won't be spoiling anything here -- I intend to do a full analysis on the entire series somewhere else. Some people don't like the final episode, which is fine. Personally, I think it wraps everything up nicely.

In a forest, I would often like to perch atop tree tops, hanging just below a tree branch like an opossum, so I can have a better view of the scenery. When your tail is strong, prehensile, and being a powerful weapon, that naturally extends to being able to support your entire body with it as well.

A green creature with blue eyes and long floppy ears hangs below a tree branch with his very long tail. He looks at the camera down below with a grin on his face. The bright cloudy sky and two other trees can be seen in the image as well.

Just a random trivia, but did you know that my VTuber is, in fact, a full-body? It's true. Normally, the rest of the body got cropped out during stream. It's a challenge, due to the imposed limitations of the Free version of Live2D Cubism. Thanks to my workarounds, I was able to do it.

Maybe I should begin posting on Bluesky whenever I'm on Twitch again. The reason being that, the day right after I've posted my last post, I did actually begin streaming again, and I fear that people might think that I still had not been streaming, due to my previous post.

Alright. Today, my mother went through with her eye surgery, in order to remove the cataract from her right eye. Thankfully, the surgery went successfully without a hitch, and now she's back home and require lots of rest. I'll probably gonna be busy this week, while waiting for her recovery.

I've been playing Sonic Rumble a lot. 1st pic - The cat skin the game gave me upon playing for the first time. 2nd pic - The wolf skin I went with while I was in a friend's Twitch stream. 3rd pic - My current rabbit skin. Interestingly, he's closest to my Sonic Forces character in appearance.

Games have gotten too realistic as of late. I know it's silly, because that's the sentiment we've been making every year, every time there are leaps and bounds with graphics technology in games. I'm just deeply concerned, after watching the DLSS 5 preview, and the memes that spawned from it.

Like many smartphone users, I would listen to music with my phone a lot. Not just my MP3 collections, but also music on YouTube, as well as Internet radio like Afterhours.FM. (I'm a massive trancehead, mainly specializing in uplifting trance.)

A small fluffy green creature with a long tail and a pair of long floppy ears lies down on the large fluffy tip of his own tail, while listening to music on his smartphone via a pair of wireless earbuds. Music notes appear floating in mid-air around his head, while the tip of his tail can be seen wagging.

I've been trying to find a version of "Dance of the Maidens" from Polovtsian Dances -- original orchestra version and all -- but with female singers singing lyrics from "Stranger in Paradise" over it. I know it exists -- I've heard it before. I just can't seem to find it on YouTube. >_o

After years of being trapped inside my ARKS Sadeenian Suit, I'm finally able to give my player character a more unique look, all thanks to the most recent PSO2:NGS update that actually caught my attention: namely, dragon-themed cosmetics, including one that gives you a dragon head.

There's a reason why I normally don't play as a Tank in dungeons and trials in FFXIV. The amount of stress is high, as everyone expect you to carry them through the mission. Due to my inexperience, I ended-up dying early on in a trial. And then the entire party got wiped... I felt responsible.
