The secrets of the Sin Eaters. A new future for the First. A lot of Final Fantasy 8 references. A go-kart race. All this and more lay beyond the edge of the world, in a place known as The Empty! #LetsPlay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 44, "The Good Place," is LIVE! ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

I've been neglecting my Ko-Fi archive for months, and its time to remedy that. Speaking of time, let's go down to the Twinning and see how Wibbly-Wobbly the fabric of reality can really get! #LetsPlay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 43, "Ghosts of the Past," is LIVE! ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

Happy Turkey Day! Let us give thanks for FF14 by traveling into the misty history of Amaurot and learning that college kids were always reckless idiots. Also, hunting! And an open bar! #LetsPlay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 42, "The Old College Try," is Live! ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

Robots are living in the mountains not bothering anyone, and only the Warrior of Darkness, Dwarf twins and an Anime Girl with a really short skirt and criminally high boots can stop them! #letsplay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 41, "The Industrial Revolution," is here! ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

It's about time I actually posted my backlog of chapters. We'll start with a visit to Fairy Land, where nothing bad ever happens... to the fairies. Or does it? Solve the mystery of the Pale Pixie in #letsplay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 40, "A Wish Your Heart Makes." ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

Just said "goodbye" to a couple of lines that introduce a major plot point in the novel I'm writing, a plot point that I proceeded to immediately forget and carried on forward as if it were never there. And, now, it never was.

The folk of the First need plenty of help, and after 5.1 the Warrior of Darkness needs something to occupy herself. We cross the continent righting wrongs and protecting smiles in #letsplay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 39, "The Wages of Sin." ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

I've been so busy I forgot to upload chapters even though I've been writing them! Let's start with the second half of Patch 5.1, where the Warrior of Darkness helps Eulmore dig itself out of the grave. #letsplay #FFXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 38 "Brave New World," is LIVE! ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

After an unexpected (and unwanted) delay, #letsplay #FinalFantasyXIV #Shadowbringers returns to begin the post-game on Father's Day in honor of my man Dadcred. Patch 5.1 begins in Chapter 37, "Chicken Soup for the Soul." ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

The official release of #FinalFantasy x #MagicTheGathering is Friday, so here's my third short essay about Magic lore, or in this case how Magic lore was first conveyed the players. I think this one is my favorite of the three. ko-fi.com/Post/Magic-T...

With the #FinalFantasy x #MagicTheGathering set being released on Arena, this seems like an ideal time for my second article on Magic's universe, which I hope will help those who are dipping into the game for the crossover see it's larger appeal. Enjoy! ko-fi.com/post/Magic-T...

Not quite the outcome I wanted, but at least I haven't been left crying. This First-Come-First-Served FOMO system in Secret Lairs really is god awful. Happy Pride to my new foil Gaia card though. #FinalFantasy #MagicTheGathering

With the release of Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering now immanent, I've been putting together short articles that attempt to convey info about Magic's lore in a way that makes clear why I love it so much as a story medium. If you like my LP, maybe give these a read! ko-fi.com/post/Magic-T...

The Warrior of Darkness pursues Emet-Selch through hellfire and memory. Once the world is done ending, they have a polite, rational debate about the future. I'm sure it'll be fine. #letsplay #FinalFantasyXIV #Shadowbringers Chapter 34, "The Blade is Me," is LIVE! ko-fi.com/post/FFXIV-S...

what if #FFXIV Extreme trials were classic 🐧 book covers? (very quick rough thumbnails for fun hehehe)

The feel when you open up one pack of #MagicTheGathering after being away for years and feel like you're well on your way to an entire deck.

In a stunning feat, my Ko-Fi contributors have successfully funded my Grammarly sub all the way through to July 2026. It's not a perfect solution to revision and editing, but it's helped my work improve, and thanks to everyone I can keep this tool on my belt. Thank you <3 ko-fi.com/sanguineques...

Chihiro from SPIRITED AWAY is the most millennial-coded character in fiction: - forced to beg in order to get worst job in the entire universe - incompetent at work due to being coddled by pig boomer parents - immediately starts dating her manager - quits after two days to move back home

Feel pleased I got a bunch of likes on a funny reply I made, have a micro-existential crisis where I wonder if I'm a Reply Guy rather than a Poster. Truly, this is the current era's Dichotomy of Man.

I found the one guy who voted against Ichiro.
