Some reflections as the new year begins

You literally cannot screw up what is meant for you.

A collection of things I worked on this year that I forgot to post about…

Italian Christmas, brought to you by Rachael

Merry Christmas Eve

The best gift I received this year and it’s not even Christmas yet

Logged back into FFXIV and immediately started crying during my first roulette. The music and themes hit so hard. This game changed my life.

💖 You deserve to be respected. 💖 You deserve to feel safe. 💖 You deserve to be taken care of. 💖 You deserve to feel protected. 💖 You deserve to be cherished.

Helloooo! If anyone is looking for a discord community to join - look no further! @rachaelcamui.bsky.social and I run a happy lil’ server 🤍 It’s very nerdy and we’d love to have you!

Attention is not intention. Stop getting distracted by glimmers of interest. Watch their actions. The people who want to be there will make it known.

I had a dream last night I was playing 3 Zelda games at once.

I just bought tickets to two concerts, spent an evening with my favorite people, and now I’m on vacation for two weeks. Happy doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel right now. 🥰

There’s never enough time but I put in some solid gaming hours on my PC this year despite a crazy work schedule and active social life. The Witcher took over the last few months of 2025 and I’ll probably be playing it well into 2026.

The world can be overwhelming and scary. Remember to just breathe. You are protected. You are safe. You don’t have to have everything figured out. Trust.

You are worthy of love 🩷

I just want everyone to know that this post was brought to you by tipsy Rachael.

Xenogears is so fucking good.

Off to adventures in Little Tokyo

Meet your online friends @hyperdude53.bsky.social @cynetrunner.bsky.social @melonsaurus.bsky.social @moneytone21.bsky.social @falchion.bsky.social

Me and my man 🖤

You are incredible just being yourself. Don’t chase. Don’t settle. Trust that you are enough. 💕

I gommaged #TheGameAwards

I’m the crazy person screaming about how Blue Prince should win Game of the Year. #TheGameAwards

If I hear Ex33 music tonight at The Game Awards I’m gonna scream

See you at The Game Awards

I wish I could somehow explain the emotional and narrative complexity of each quest in The Witcher 3, but it would take too many words, so I’ll just say: the game is good.

Weird urge to play Ocarina of Time.

Spent the weekend doing only what I love: 💕 Singing 💕 Sleeping 💕 Gaming

Today I really missed my former life as a full time singer.

I was out of control tonight Round 1 didn’t know what hit them

Pies eaten. House cleaned. Time to game.

My traditional apple pie 🥰

I am so grateful for all the amazing people in my life. Best friends, colleagues, acquaintances, my community - you all contribute to my happiness and make my life better. My heart is so full. Happy Thanksgiving 🧡

I love the person I’ve become. I know I may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I get to show up as my best self every day. I feel my feelings. I speak up about what I don’t want. I live presently and authentically. I am unapologetically me.

I cried

Taking myself to the Death Stranding orchestra concert Will I cry?

Growth is realizing you now find lack of effort unattractive. Stop chasing what isn’t meant for you so you can remain open for what is. 💕

We are live!!!!! Twitch.tv/rachaelcamui

streaming more holiday content later hope to see you there! 🎮 FAITH: The Holy Trinity ⏰ 8 PM PST ish 🔗 twitch.tv/rachaelcamui

I would do anything to forget Final Fantasy XIV and play it all again.

Did not get Fanfest tickets RIP 💀

2 days without playing The Witcher 3 and I’m not okay.

Got my tickets 🥰

Can you hear the sounds of Skellige?

It’s crazy to me in 2025 we are still having the same tired arguments about women in the video game space. Let me just say I really love video games or I would not remain in community where I’m constantly needing to prove my legitimacy to even be here. It’s exhausting.

“you’re a tourist. I bet you haven’t even played the games”
