Zackery: “There’s this girl that’s clad in dragon-like armor who wanders the outskirts of Stia late in the day. She’s as powerful as she is beautiful… How do I know? Well because that happens to be my wife, Matoi!” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Zackery: “I heard stories about how this weapon was created deep within a volcano using magma as its source. This armor was supposedly made there as well... I’m not sure if it’s true, but it sounds like a cool concept!” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Zackery: “Looks like the Spring event is coming up again, but I’m also hearing a new Ruinous enemy is joining the fray too… I got a feeling it’s gonna get more interesting soon, but for now, I’ll spend some time with Matoi!” Happy Maintenance! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Putting EOS in parentheses is an especially foul thing to do especially since my worrying over PSO2 has (somehow) been improving lmao.

Me wondering how in the hell I made it 2 months so far without my worrying over PSO2 taking over (I literally have no clue what changed):

Would it be a hot take to say I think Mega Garchomp Z looks cooler than Mega Garchomp?

FIRE STARTER DOGGO I REPEAT: FIRE STARTER DOGGO

Here are the themes in question, but it’s gotta be split into 2 parts. First is the theme that plays when the new girl shows up. Maybe I’m just crazy, but I definitely hear similarities to a degree. #PSO2NGS

There’s 2 reasons why I feel the new girl might be connected to Matoi. 1: She appears to have memory loss and wants to recover it, similar to Matoi in PSO2 Classic. 2: The theme that plays as the girl is shown has a similar tune to Matoi’s theme. At least in my opinion. #PSO2NGS

March is a slow month unsurprisingly. Story trailer was good! l am curious about the girl… Maybe I’m overthinking it, but could she have a connection to Matoi? Hopefully it’s nothing major, or else it might throw my headcanon for Matoi in NGS for one hell of a loop lol. #PSO2NGS

Matoi: “I’m usually not one to wear combat swimsuits. The last time I wore one into combat was back on Oracle… but that was a normal swimsuit and it was supposed to be a time to relax! Knowing Zackery, he’ll get distracted if I don’t cover up…” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Hikari: “Wearing this new outfit makes me feel like I’m wearing an official Guardian outfit, which I guess is kinda fitting! Though now that I think about it, it reminds me a bit of Aina’s current look, too!” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Hikari: “Things have been calm outside of this new district, so me and my family have been taking it easy for now. Though relaxing time might be ending soon because apparently the Crimson Realm is a problem in Kvaris again…” Happy maintenance! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Zackery and Matoi have an intimate moment to themselves… (They have clothes on I swear)

It may not be a Zone denial on par with Lythero but still felt good pulling off lmao #MarvelRivals

Imagine we get a Switch 2 announcement for PSO2 since the 5th Year Anniversary celebration event for NGS just started. That’d be a really neat way to start the celebration, right? Right?

Zackery: “Decided to take it easy for the remainder of the event. It was nice to relax, but now it’s time to get back to it! Apparently Nameless City is going through a change. The question is, who’s making the change?” Happy maintenance! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

PSO2と富士急ハイランドがコラボした時のマトイちゃんを描きました！ #PSO2

I really went a whole month without my anxieties over PSO2 taking over and asking *that* question again.? I dunno I think I just got lucky because I don’t see how else I could’ve managed that.

This is unironically one of my most anticipated improvements since it’ll open up the possibility for new food combinations. That and meat inventory will last longer.

Why yes I did bully High Agni in the Duel 100 times. How could you tell? #PSO2NGS

Thoughts on the NGS Headline: Nameless City update looks fun! Food changes are very much welcome. Nice improvements to Creative Space decoys (still can’t use emotes it seems) Vael being a story quest fight now is great. Quest AFKers are finally being punished Pretty good overall! #PSO2NGS

Cathy adding the parentheses (maybe):

Emelda: “We’re going to be getting a new augment soon: Argant Dread Keeper, which has more survivability and damage compared to previous Dread Keeper augs! Better be ready to work for it! *Ahem* My eyes are up here by the way…” Happy maintenance! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

THE WAIT WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT; LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE HIKARI LOOKS!

🍷🎁Participation Gift for @zattackery.bsky.social 🎁🍷 Wanted to draw Zackery all happy and cute!! (≧∇≦)ﾉ Thank you for waiting for this lil event gift~ 🎁 #digital #art #digitalart #drawing #rafflegift #chibi #oc #originalcharacter

We finally got motions that reflect the weapon/camo we have equipped! Aside from some bugs, I’m pretty happy with how it looks! The Decoys in Creative Space even copy the weapon as well! I’m looking forward to future weapon motions! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Just realized that this drawing actually works pretty well for a banner. Finally it’s no longer just a blank space like it’s been for like a year LMAO

Welp, finally finished a drawing I put off completing since March. March marks when I started playing PSO2, so it felt appropriate to do a drawing. It’s very late, but happy 5th anniversary, PSO2 Global. (Also if you know what I used for reference, hell yeah) #PSO2 #PSO2NGS

The first drawing of 2026, here’s to a great 2026!

Hikari: “I thought it would be nice to look around Central City a bit while trying on this new outfit I got, and it was a nice change of pace! Though I probably could’ve picked some better spots where there was more light…” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

I could not resist the temptations of the knit dress. #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Emelda: “It looks like another area in Kvaris’s Alter Realm will be opening up soon. Not only that, but we’ll be able to upgrade Fortscha Armor as well! You’ll probably be busy, but make sure to enjoy the ongoing event, too!” Happy Maintenance! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

I think I’m going to try some things this year. -Follow more people within the PSO2 community. -Repost more, especially from moots -Try to throw out more suggestions on improving NGS; maybe once a week? I wanted to do these before, but my mindset just stopped me from doing so.

Hikari: “It’s hard to believe we’re already having this event again... We’ve got a lot of things ahead of us, and I’ve got a feeling it’s going to get pretty interesting soon, but let’s just enjoy what we have going on right now!” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Happy new year everyone

I was tempted to share 4 screenshots taken this year like everyone else has done, but I couldn’t choose between 4. So I went one last screenshot of 2025 instead. I hope not only for 2026 to be a better year for me, but also the year NGS locks in! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Mind the ledge next time, big guy.

Don’t really have a lot of time to take screenshots at the moment so Imma just push this drawing for now. Merry Christmas everyone!

Damn, Planetfall Strike surprise had hands. Took numerous attempts but I won! Gonna keep this ring on for a a bit for bragging rights especially since I still running one Akro armor, two Eskul armors, and an Einden weapon! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

Hikari is dressed up and ready for the holidays! #PSO2NGS

Yeah I had more fun fighting Luther in NGS compared to Base. All they had to do was transfer him over, but they added in new stuff like the rewind attacks which didn’t exist before iirc. The fight works really well in NGS’s combat. They cooked with this fight. #PSO2NGS

Zackery: “This Ruinus that’s going to show up… I think I have a history with it. My mind may not remember it, but I can feel my body tense up at what I’m hearing about it… Guess fighting it is the only way to learn more!” Happy maintenance. Time for Luther! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS

Matoi: “I thought it would be nice to try on a steampunk look since Zackery and Hikari have their looks! It’s not exactly similar to what they chose, but I think it suits me nicely!” #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge

So I have a thought about what the surprise is for beating all the Planetfall Strike Duels: What if it’s a fight against Sodam? I mean, Gomorroth’s theme plays during the fights, and the second part of the theme plays on Stages 7-8, as if it’s building up to Sodam… #PSO2NGS

MEGA MAN HOLY SHIT WE ARE SO BACK

I really wasn’t satisfied with how the screenshots I took for Zackery and Hikari in their steampunk outfits turned out (Hikari’s felt especially lazy with angles), so I took some new ones! #PSO2NGS #PSO2NGS_SS #ARKSLounge
