Last night had us taking our first steps into the world of card-game capitalism, with our premiere stream of #TCGCardShopSimulator! Our first few days were very up and down... UNTIL WE HIT THIS GOD-PACK OF A PULL! Now, I'd think we're in a much better spot, finance-wise~! 🤑

Good morning, AKLytes! It's been a while since we've tried something new, and thanks to a lovely AKLyte this holiday season, I now own one of the games I've been wanting! Join us tonight, starting at 7pm PST, as I try to capture the magic of capitalism in #TCGCardShopSimulator!

Last night's #MHWilds stream ended up going TWO WHOLE HOURS longer than usual, but it was absolutely worth it--we had so many fun hunts, and even got some homies through their first-ever Gogmazios hunt! Definitely hopin' to do more of these MonHun collabs in the future~! ☺️

I've been so busy enjoying the new hunts in Title Update 4 of #MHWilds, I forgot that we can now save hairstyles to specific Layered Armor sets! Which means I can finally put the finishing touches on my @moricalliope.hololive.tv -themed Hunter Cosplay! Now, I just have to learn Long Sword~!

Good morning, AKLytes! Time for the first full stream-week of the New Year! We've got some new games later this week, but tonight, I still feel like some Ol' Reliable~! 😉 So, we're gonna gather-up some Hunting Homies as we enjoy more Lumenhymn in #MHWilds, tonight at 7pm PST!

FUCKIN' WH--HOW?! Y'ALL WERE GETTING NOTHING BUT LOSSES FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL OF ROUND 2, THEN Y'ALL GET ONE WIN AT THE START OF TODAY, THEN Y'ALL PULL THIS OFF AT THE LAST MINUTE?! Welp...SURELY, I'll get washed in the Group A Finals...right? 👀 #UmaMusume #UmaMusumePrettyDerby

📅01/05 - 01/11 SCHEDULE, AKLYTES!⏰ It's a new year, which means a couple of new games~! First, #MHWilds Monday returns--especially since I'm still working on making new sets for each weapon! Then, #TCGCardShopSimulator on Tuesday! And #KirbyAirRiders kicks-off on Thursday!

I'm gonna admit, with how this recent CM started, I thought I was gonna be getting washed on Group B. Then somehow, each of my girls pulled through, got a win each, and solidified our Group A placing! Now I can get MORE washed in Round 2! 😜 #UmaMusume #UmaMusumePrettyDerby

And it's done! Our first stream of the new year was a HUGE success! Last night's session of #GBVSR casual matches was exactly what I needed to get the hype going! So many heart-pounding matches and AMAZING sets from my fellow Skyfarers (and myself, too)! 2026 is gonna be fun~!

Good morning, AKLytes! Here we are...January 1st, 2026. First stream of the new year. I should make this first stream count; it needs to really have some pop, some punch, some pizzazz. I should throw a big celebration to-- NAH WE'RE MASHIN' #GBVSR TONIGHT AT 7PM PST, ROLL UP~!

TIME FOR THE TRADITIONAL #NewYearsEve SUSHI~ 🍣

And so, the final scheduled-stream for this year is done... And what a #HadesII stream it was! Not only did we manage to complete TWO separate all-Chaos (full-random) Runs first try, but we even got a damn good Black Coat run to wrap things up! This game ROCKS on a fightstick!

Good morning, AKLytes! As I'm getting back into the groove of my usual streams, we continue to enjoy some of my favorite games of the past year! Tonight at 7pm PST, we plug in our fightstick and get ready to mash buttons...in #Hades2, of course! See y'all in the Crossroads! 😉

Oh yeah, the hunts are all comin' back together~! Last night's return to #MHWilds was super-fun! We tested out my new tentative Gog DB Build, and it's DEFINITELY a bit faster than my old build! Now, to start working on the OTHER 13 weapon-sets...oh boy, the grind resumes~! 👀

A quick reminder: Only a couple of days left to vote in the @friendoyearendo.bsky.social Awards! Yours truly is nominated for two categories--"Best Fighting Game Streams" and "VTuber of the Year", and I would be so thankful for your support! Go check out friendoyearendo.com to vote~!

Good morning, AKLytes! At long last, we are finally back with our usual bout of video-gamin' streams! Tonight, starting at 7pm PST, we dive back into the exciting world of #MHWilds! We've got ourselves a Lumenhymn to enjoy, alongside some new endgame hunts, like GOGMAZIOS~! 🤩

📅12/29 - 01/04 SCHEDULE, AKLYTES!⏰ Last stream-week of the year, everyone, let's make it a good one! Time to return to the AKL-classics: #MHWilds Open Lobby Hunts on Monday, #Hades2 with a fightstick on Tuesday, and #GBVSR casuals on Thursday! Hope to see y'all there~! 😜

Oh man, WHAT a stream to come back to, am I right? Not only were the #SonicRacingCrossWorlds matches hella-hype last night, but @mayuyumemi.bsky.social and I managed to secure our two-win-streak title at the very end...WITH BACK-TO-BACK 5X VICTORIES~! We're SO heckin' back, AKLytes~! 🤩

Good morning, AKLytes! With our yapping streams finished and drum stream done, it's time to get back into some gaming! And wouldn't ya know it, #SonicRacingCrossWorlds is having a NiGHTS Festival right now! Tune in tonight at 7pm PST as @mayuyumemi.bsky.social and I get back into gear! 😉

Thank you everyone, once again, for a wonderful welcome-back Otaku Drum Stream! Was a little worried about being too rusty, but all things considered, we did a pretty fine job, and as usual, y'all brought the bangers! Just one more week to go, then it's finally the new year! 🥳

If I may pull back the veil a little bit... This Christmas...is an interesting one for me. We didn't put up the tree, because we didn't really have time to upon getting back from our trip. We didn't really have any presents, because, well...I don't have a job right now. (1/6)

Good morning, AKLytes! First, a very #MerryChristmas to all who celebrate! I hope this day is full of warmth, cheer, and good tidings for all y'all! Then, once all your Chrimbo-business is done, be sure to tune in TONIGHT at 7pm PST for our final Otaku Drum Stream of the year~!

Ah, yes, the traditional American Christmas Eve celebration of... *checks notes* Mexican Tres Leches cake and Japanese Amazake, all while listening to old-school holiday songs on vinyl... This year's Christmas may not be a fancy one, but hot damn, is it still a satisfying one.

Thanks to chatting with @megamatttv.bsky.social and @mayuyumemi.bsky.social while in Japan, I was recommended this album for the quintessential city-pop experience. It appropriately arrived at my door a little while ago, and now that it's playing on the turntable... Yeah, ABSOLUTE 10/10 album~! 🎶

And so, after 6 DIFFERENT STREAMS... OVER 870 PICTURES... AND ALMOST 30 HOURS OF YAPPIN' AND STORYTELLIN'... Our Japan Trip 2025 Recap is FINALLY finished! A HUGE thank you to everyone who stopped by, Raided, Followed, Subbed, and enjoyed our tales! It's good to be home~! 🥰

Good morning, AKLytes! Welp...we're finally almost finished--OVER 22 HOURS of yapping later, and we're on the final three days of our Japan Trip 2025 Recap... Be sure to tune in tonight starting at 7pm PST for the final few stories we have, plus to see all of the goods we got~!

Good morning, AKLytes! Alrighty, looking at the remaining pictures left, I think we're pretty solid on scheduling, all things considered! So tonight, starting at 7pm PST, join the stream for PART FIVE of our Japan Trip Recap, where we'll talk about my once-in-a-lifetime chance!

📅12/22 - 12/28 SCHEDULE, AKYTES!⏰ 2025 is almost over, holy CRAP...! Well, thanks to yesterday's bonus yappin' stream, we should only have TWO more yappin' streams left to cover the rest of the recent Japan trip! Then, Thursday evening, a special Christmas Otaku Drum Stream!

Good morning, AKLytes! Alrighty, now that I've been taking some proper medicine, I'm really startin' to feel a lot better! I think it's time for a bonus yappin' stream, so we can wrap up my Japan Trip Recap before next week's Drum Stream! See y'all later tonight at 7pm PST! 😉

Okay, so...looking at the photos left in my "Japan Stream 2025" folder... YEAH, we need an extra yappin'-stream if we want to try and get this done before next week's Drum Stream! Guess that means y'all can look forward to another Just Chatting stream, this Saturday at 7pm PST!

I wasn't really expecting much out of this recent Libra Cup CM... But apparently, my Uma-Oshi Daiwa Scarlet decided to lock-in and DOMINATE the Group A Finals, for my first Platinum Title ever! Way to go, Daiwa~! 🥰 #UmaMusume #UmaMusumePrettyDerby

Good morning, AKLytes! It's time to see if I'm gonna need a bonus weekend yappin'-stream or not! Depending on how much of the Japan Trip I can cover, we may be needing extra story-time on Saturday or the like! But for now, see you tonight at 7pm PST for some more Tohoku tales!

Oh, man...so, I thought I needed only three days to go over my whole Japan trip, just like last time... Turns out, I WAS WRONG, I WAS SO HECKIN' WRONG...! We're not even out of Tohoku yet! Guess the Just Chatting streams will have to continue on Thursday, and into next week! 😜

Good morning, AKLytes! So, I may have underestimated just how much yappin' I can do...because we only got up to DAY TWO of our vacation during our recap last night! Regardless, we've got a TALE to tell tonight, and you don't wanna miss it! See y'all later tonight at 7pm PST~!

Good morning, AKLytes! Good news, I'm finally back~! 🤩 Yep, I've returned from my two-week vacation in Japan, and boy-howdy, do I have SO MANY pictures and stories to share! Tune in tonight at 7pm PST as we begin our FIRST of multiple Just Chatting streams about our vacation!

📅12/15 - 12/21 SCHEDULE, AKLYTES!⏰ WE'RE SO HECKIN' BACK, Y'ALL~! 🎉 We made it back safely from Japan, and boy-howdy, do I have so many stories to tell and pictures to share with you! You know what that means--a WHOLE WEEK of Just Chatting streams to celebrate my return! 🥳

Ladies, Gentlemen, AKLytes... We're fuckin' home~! 😻 And thus ends #AKLsJapanTravels2025 ; look forward to the week of travel-tales, starting this Monday at 7pm PST!

Whew! What a flight! At last, we are past customs, past bag re-check, and now just waiting for our connecting flight! Just about 4 hours or so, now...then finally, time to relax in the comfort of my own home~! #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Alrighty, plane is boarded, and we're ready to take off. In about half a day...we'll be back home--WITH OUR CATS~! 😻 #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Here we are, chilling at the airport, waiting for our first flight back to the States to board. Figured my last taste of Japan should be my first taste of America. Yes, I did accidentally order two burgers instead of a double-patty. Still ate 'em both. 🍔 #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Our final day in Japan begins: later tonight, we'll be at the airport, getting ready to return to the States. How to start off the day? With the lovely winter tradition of Christmas Cake, of course~! 🎂 #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Our last full day in Japan winds down... had an AMAZING night out with most-all of our Nihon-modachis, getting together for one last big feast together before we prepare to start heading home tomorrow night! Japan...gods, I'mma miss your drinks and food~! #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Got the Director Jumpscare on today's daily paid-carat pull. Thanks, Director, very cool~! 😎 #UmaMusume #UmaMusumePrettyDerby

Well, today wasn't that active of a day for me, as I mainly stayed in the hotel, resting and recovering from the hard work yesterday. However, I did at least get to check-off having my desired conbini-lunch, plus a traditional American dinner of BORGAR. 🍔 #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Whew...after the events of yesterday's Calliope Mori MV Extra shoot, my body is definitely tired and in need of extra rest... That means not a lot of pictures today, as I stay in the hotel room and get that aforementioned redt, to be safe. Will let'cha know if that changes~! 😉

NEVERMIND I CAN ABSOLUTELY TALK ABOUT IT I WAS SELECTED TO BE A LIVE-ACTION EXTRA IN ONE OF CALLIOPE MORI'S UPCOMING MUSIC VIDEOS~! 🤩 TODAY WAS A *LOT* OF WORK, BUT GODS, WAS IT SO WORTH IT~! LET'S GO, DEADBEATS~! 💀 #AKLsJapanTravels2025

Hey there, y'all~! Today has been probably the busiest, most active day of this ENTIRE trip... However, I can't share the details of this day just yet... Suffice to say, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will live forever in my memory~! 🥰 #AKLsJapanTravels2025

And we're back with another pretty active day! Started the day off at Cafe ReIssue, got an ADORABLE 3D-Latte-Art of THE BOI, checked out a fighting-game-centric arcade that was recommended to me, and even got to play that fancy Yakuza Batting Minigame~! ⚾️ #AKLsJapanTravels2025

I...didn't think I'd be experiencing a earthquake live, followed by watching a tsunami warning for northern Japan, tonight... But here we are. Keepin' y'all in my thoughts, Aomori City, Sweet Pea Snack, and everyone up there. 💙

Today has been a slower, quieter day than the other busy-busy days...but that doesn't mean nothing's happened! It just means that when stuff happened, I was able to capture and savor the moment for that much longer! Call this a bit of a solo-explore day~! #AKLsJapanTravels2025
