It always makes me happy the amount of people that compliment my Protect the Dolls shirt when I wear it out. Maybe there's more decent people out there than it feels like. Gives me a little hope for this country.

It's so easy after playing FF14 to get jaded and dispirited about the game. Then every so often I see brand new players reacting to the game, or the cinematics, or the lore, and watching the pure excitement just brings me back and reminds me of why I fell in love with it in the first place.

With the new patch finally here, let me celebrate one last time being the top of the world wide minion leaderboard on Lalachivements for a patch cycle. Still very proud of this feat.

#NGD Finally got my FFXIV Strat that I have been wanting since it was announced!

You know, there's some great irony behind the whole me trying to sell a house I can't move into and now facing maybe losing my apartment in the near future. I really truly hate my existence.

Time for my yearly Prize Fighter Inferno share, now on Bluesky! youtu.be/EpLkyDn7-ik?...

The rare Rain gpose post! Been wanting to find a really good glam to represent the Phoinix for a while, since the tiny bit of lore I actually do have for my character is they are heavily associated with phoenixes. Finally got what I was looking for with the new Azeyma outfit.

This weekend's project. New cheapo guitar off of Amazon and a few upgrades. Gonna replace the tuners, bridge, and strings and work on any fretwork and what it that it needs, see if we got a good value or not. If so next step will be new electronics.

Getting close to finishing my reread of the Animorphs series and I just finished The Ellimist Chronicles. Man, I forgot what an amazing book that was. Some of the greatest world building I have ever read. Almost unfortunate that it's buried so deep in such a big series, even if it's 99% standalone.

Apparently having network issues so I guess I'm not streaming tonight after all. I will however be still playing, over on Tyym's stream at www.twitch.tv/hero_of_timp...

Back to Baldur's Gate 3 with @herooftimpani.bsky.social tonight! Maybe this time I can get away with a cheeky pickpocket or two. www.twitch.tv/RedhawkRain

In efforts to further separate Twitch and FFXIV (since I never stream XIV after all) I have changed my Twitch name. I am now RedhawkRain on there.

Time to start my Magical Girl era #ffxiv

I know it wont last too long, but the fact that I was able to secure #1 Globally on the minion leaderboard on patch day brings me so much pride and happiness.

20 years ago I started school for digital art and graphic design. Due to life circumstances I quit a year and a half later and have barely touched art in general but digital art specifically since. Today I am making the first steps to go back and try again. Posting this to hold myself accountable.

I am only posting this because the "No posts yet." image is giving me anxiety.
