Hello Adventurers! We're back from FanFest with a whole new episode, talking about our trip to Anaheim but mostly out excitement for the new FFXIV expansion that was announced: Evercold! www.osmcast.com/2026/05/the-... #FFXIV #Evercold #FFXIVFanFest @en.finalfantasyxiv.com

The Mass Effect discourse is so fucking dumb. Yes, it's a pro-military pro-extrajudicial violence post-9/11 right wing wet dream AND it's a fun space opera romp that was a successor to KOTOR I can acknowledge that Die Hard is a conservative's movie and still think it's great. What are we doing here

Happy Mother's Day! 💎✨

just explained what a tsundere was to Ben and he went “oh like the home alone shovel guy”

this motherfucker cut me off and then had the audacity to give me this look

Here's that one AMV

There's a huge difference between a reimagining of the same story & a remake of the same game. Star Fox 64 is not the same game as SNES, and Zero is not either. Yeah, 64 will now have been released in various forms 3 times - not 6. Don't be wilfully thick in search of things to cry about

Less than 24 hours and I'm already tired of the smug-ass gamer discourse about Star Fox.

"i think tanks from the primal server should keep making the bone dragon go north because it is really funny."

I don't have a good reason to show you this Shōnen Jump commercial from 1991, but I just wanted to show you how much effort they put into this animation Mild flash warning ⚠️ #gaming #retro #Japan 🎮

Zimmerit is heading to the very first Wonder Festival US with kits and zines. Stay tuned for more details soon. If you’re heading to Momocon we’ll be in the Wonder Festival section, booth WON-711.

Grogu got in the trash and ate some chocolate and he died

On this Star Wars Day, remember that Baby Yoda's real name is Buford.

We can adventure together, but here's the rub / you must pay an additional sub

Im glad we got Echoes of Vanadiel at all AND it was my worst-case scenario re:integrating XI into XIV. So many pre-existing threads left untouched (eureka, alex, adoulin, etc) Great mechanics, music, scenery throughout but an underwhelming finale with muddy stakes. ❤️DNC and RDM AF1&2 tho

“1 ticket for the mandalorian and grogu please”. - a pervert

Took some doing, but I finally got all my dyes consolidated and applicable glams in the armoire. Guess it's time to start 7.5!

FFXIV - Not Afraid on Guitar ft. Michael Labelle !

The thing about Shadowbringers? It really *is* that bad bitch. I know a few joyless folks who were, at the time, really kinda bothered at the idea of "The MMO!? How can THAT have such a good story?!" but every passing year's really proved the potency. It's genuinely Very, Very Good.

Just slept like 10 hours. 😵‍💫 The travel sleep debt is real.

i do think if your entire social media presence is reposting accounts with over 50K followers who talk exclusively about politics that is a form of selfmade psychosis

Just arrived safely home from Fan Fest.

The FF XI meetup was great! Loved seeing people show up for it! #ffxiv #ffxi

Glad we haven't forgotten one of the best characters from Endwalker. #ffxiv

I didn't think it was possible for Paladins to get any more evolved, but I guess they figured something out. #ffxiv

Never forget the last vigil of the Level 1 .#ffxiv

Fan Fest has been lovely #FFXIV

ran into the guy who did the music for mario sports mix

I have had so many wonderfully kind people come up to me this weekend and complement my job sweater. It means more than anyone knows. Thank you @ffxiven.bsky.social and the amazing staff and attendees for the amazing weekend!!! #FFXIV

"Look at the huge line for the G'raha Tia cuck chair." Fan Fest is a wild time.

Decent crowd for the guy at fanfest who's trying to get a FRU clear from their laptop in venue

Meteion was a feathered being created by the gods and sent out into the firmament, whereupon she encountered a cold and indifferent reality that turned her cynical, and ultimately lead her to conclude that life's only purpose is to end. so really, the song of the Endsinger was a cruel angel's thesis

cracks me up that when yoshi-p brought the ceo on stage it felt less like inviting the big boss in charge and more like a threat. like hey man. if i don’t get 4 gillion dollars for my savage raids all these guys will do the ending of weapons on you. please look forward to it.

GET IN THE ROBOT, ALPHINAUD

do you think his smile is him hiding his intention to fry the chocobo later
