Someone said about Coffee & Carbuncles: "it feels like a good mixture of a cozy relaxing conversation and a formal/professional interview. it’s great for listening to while I'm at work when I wish I was on xiv lol" Thank you for the kind words 🤗 #FFXIV #FF14 #FinalFantasyXIV #FinalFantasy14

#wolQotD #QOTD #FFXIV #FF14 Your XIV character is in the real world (Yes I am stuck on Dissidia hype.) and they need a job to blend in. What occupation do they go for? Nobutaka would become a fine art and antiques dealer.

Primary Class: Summoner Subclass: Hydromancer (Put my SMN glam on my PLD. I really like the thought of Nobutaka summoning a sword of water to fight with.)

A while back someone proposed I have them on the podcqst to do an episode about Fanfiction writing. While I tend to focus on things INSIDE the game it can't be denied that Fanfiction is not only part of any fandom and community, but in a lot of ways it is inherently RP adjacent.

Alright. I've got the last four episodes of Coffee & Carbuncles Season 3 planned out for the podcast. Two in December, one in January, and one in February! They will be about PVP, then character crafting, then player hosted events, and finally Fanfiction writing! I hope you look forward to it!

Have a good patch day tomorrow everyone. I hope you are doing well. Remember to be kind to yourself, and to let yourself rest when you can. #FFXIV #FF14 #FinalFantasyXIV #FinalFantasy14

Happy Friday! I just wanted to give you a content update. I'm sorry no new C&C last weekend or this weekend. I am a bit content creator burnt out and taking this week to rest. Next weekend I am interviewing @johnisdead.bsky.social and before New Years will put out my GATEway FATE panel!

The most important part of the patch notes. (half joking)

I love what we are getting this year! oh my gosh! (Avoids talking about the emotional damage of this image) na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/sp...

Are you not coming to Toji Matsuri tonight? You are missing out.

Are you already have holiday decorations? My chocobo will bring you another one anyway. 🎄 #FFXIV | #FF14 | #FFXIVART

I invite everyone who enjoys podcasts to come check out this episode. We had a lot of laughs, we had great lore theory crafting, AND we got to talk about the most important thing a couple can do together. Sharing an HP bar. Come check it out! #FFXIV #FF14 #FinalFantasyXIV #FinalFantasy14 #podcast

I had an absolutely lovely time being on @aetheryteradio.gamerescape.com today! Thank you so much for having me ! Also, for those that don't know, tonight is Toji Matsuri! So I will be attending tonight and tomorrow! senpantoji.crd.co

I am so excited to be joining Aetheryte Radio today! Come check out the show!

Nobutaka's happy place.

The new command panel /quick pannel will be a wonderful new addition to Final Fantasy XIV. I think it will be especially helpful to the roleplaying community and I look forward to using it.

I sincerely hope Dissidia Duellum is around long enough to add Yuffie. She would be cute in modern fashion. Plus it would be cute to see her being friends with Krile. Also my "shoot for the moon" wish is a Bartz x Terra modern Tokyo scene that could be interpreted as a date 😊

I am blown away right now. Thank you everyone who is supporting the podcast. I Love you all and am so grateful for your support. #finalfantasyxiv #ff14 #FFXIV #finalfantasy14 #SpotifyWrapped #cozypodcast

Now that we are almost to them. It is time to bring this post back out!

Spice & Wolf is so perfect and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise.

A quiet night stargazing.

The more i read Frieren the more I smile. I think one of the strengths of the author is their ability to make characters with realistic, multi-layered personalities rather than the usual single trait shonen characters.

Look at these adorable new charms I got! Thank you for the adorable charms @x3dustco.bsky.social !!!!

GUYS!!!!!! IT HAPPENED! IT FINALLY HAPPENED! I HAVE BEEN TRYING SO HARD SINCE ENDWALKER DROPPED!!!! OMG!!!! #FFXIV #FF14 #FinalFantasyXIV #FinalFantasy14

People I've had on my podcast and listeners of the podcast are DMing me lately asking for contact info for eachother to get involved in community events from performing to planning and I LOVE IT. Helping establish links between XIV players is both a goal and a blessing. #FinalFantasyXIV #FFXIV

I realized this morning all of my favorite DJs are trans. That is wild. Support trans DJs apparently. They are awesome.

Today the Coffee & Carbuncle's YouTube channel hit 120 subscribers! Thank you very much to each and every one of you. It is a privilege to be able to introduce you to interesting and wonderful people in our community every month. Thank you so much everyone! #FFXIV #FF14 #Cozy #FinalFantasyXIV

I had an interesting dream last night. Blitzball was real. Like, it was an Irl sport that had taken over the world. It was a popular sport among the young and the elderly. So I went to watch an olympic Blitzball match.

A new episode of Coffee & Carbuncles about #GATEwayFATE is up on Youtube and Podcast websites! I made sure to include timestamps for those that want to hear purely about Saturday but I hope you will enjoy the full episode! youtu.be/9dIUOsw0274 #FFXIV #FF14 #FinalFantasyXIV #FinalFantasy14

This video about my experience at @gatewayfate.bsky.social this year is ending up longer than I expected. I'm sorry for everyone who listens to it but I had so much fun and have so many things to talk about. I swear I'm putting time stamps!

Flashback to 2013. This was the very first version of Nobutaka.

Happy November everyone! Myself and my amazing guest @atelieryao.bsky.social invite you to have a listen to the newest episode of Coffee & Carbuncles! I hear all about Yao's tea house as well as about the Toji Matsuri celebration she is hosting next month! youtu.be/wZK4tN4pTMM

Hey everyone. Small heads up before I announce the release later. The new episode of C&C will be out today but due to scheduling will be out this evening instead of this morning. So about 10 hours later than usual. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So as I write down my thoughts on GATEway FATE for this YouTube video I keep coming back to the memory of me running through the rain holding two boxes of macaroni and cheese together over my head as a makeshift umbrella. The memory just tickles me.

A spooky but pretty evening in Limsa.

I want to tell you about 3 projects I'm working on! First, a mini ep. about my experiences at #GATEwayFATE! I've got a few requests to do this! Also a YouTube vid of my RP panel from the convention! Plus, a new podcast episode featuring @atelieryao.bsky.social that will be out this Sunday!

Just for fun I wanted to take some "Modern" screenshots of Nobutaka as a university student. In his dorm and studying.

With the looming release of Dissidia Duellum I have been on a big "Final Fantasy in Modern Times" kick lately. in my discords I have posted screenshot sections with that as the theme. Wonderfully, at #GATEwayFATE I went by @mallius.net 's booth and found these BEAUTIFUL charms!

Also when you send your friend out with one mission “find me Estinien stuff” and they come back with more

GATEway FATE was beautiful and a breath of fresh air. Attending such events truly reminds one just how much of the online commentary about XIV's community is simply jiberish.

Please check out this list. The good folks at The Carbuncle Chronicle worked hard to put this list together.

Following GATEway FATE I find my account having several new followers. Hello and welcome new friends! I am a Summoner main, cozy podcast host (Coffee & Carbuncles), devoted role-player, and loud Ysayle x Estinien shipper. I look forward to chatting and getting to know you!

My family all came to Gateway and if I think too much about it I'll get emotional all over again 🥹 My mom and dad helped me so much with my booth, and my sister helped my wife run theirs all weekend too!! Baby me going to ASTL back in the 2000s could never, ever imagine this, it was so special ❤️❤️❤️

#GATEwayFATE was wonderful. Thank you everyone for such an amazing time. I love catching up with other conent creators, meeting friends, and seeing all the wonderful art. Thank you everyone for making my first ever live panel so amazing. I feel so fortunate to have attended and been able to panel.

If anyone wants to hang out or meet up please DM me. I am hiding myself away to work on my panel so I won't really be "around".
