When I talk about my Japanese degree, I get a lot of questions about whether I felt like translation would become obsolete with technology. Here is how YouTube's auto-dub feature translated the simple phrase "ima, ikimasu". In MMO-gaming English "I'm going to pull now." I'm not too worried yet.

First day against Kefka Ultimate! We only had two hours but we saw the Tele-Trouncing mechanic a lot which was great. Honestly so far Phase 1 is a blast, better than FRU/TOP for me. Although the hitboxes for these arrows seem a bit more unforgiving than I'd expect? Still, it's only day one. 🫡

Whoever storyboarded this Oslo Pride trailer just absolutely *gets it*. Why I tell taxi drivers I'm "visiting my girlfriend" by default. The little safety checks you do, juuuuuuust incase. Honestly a fantastic ad.

Happy Pride Month. Still gay out here unless you are my one true love, Hitomi from Dead or Alive

Tired. Sleepy, even.

Should have brought my sunglasses. Nice day in Rotterdam but I'm stumbling around like this

Become very aware recently that romantically if someone said they wanted to be my 'Knight' I'd melt pretty quickly. 🫪 I know it's a little fairytaleish but I can't help but like that kind of dynamic. I even made a whole MTG deck based around Knights without realising I have a thing for them

Going to foreign countries that speak excellent English and using it to order things in stores but looking extra apologetic the whole time so they know I feel a sense of linguistic guilt

Decided to play Sage for the next FFXIV Ultimate with Kefka so I went out and bought THE Sage weapon of all time from FRU. (also I'm on the Moon for some reason)

So uh...some people might be aware of the fact that when they made a girl version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, they just kinda had to pick from the dudes who were already there for the bachelors, none of them were designed with women in mind AND I FORGOT THE MANUAL JUST FUCKING SAYS THIS??

Pondering my orb.

OUT: "Widow is one." IN: "Widow just got hit by the Yamanote Line heading to Shinjuku."

Getting a Duelist's Chapeau was a LOT easier to do in FF14 than FF11 I'll say that much 💀

Been acting more on that gut feeling I have when people aren't really that interested in me. Depressing at first but wow does it save you from spending a lot of time and energy

I've had a dream that I'm going to die when I turn 40 on and off for basically my whole life and despite it being superstitious nonsense there's always a part of my brain that thinks... "5 years left bitch"

My life so far in a 44 second biographical video format

Love low poly pigeon

I will be mysteriously disappearing on Tuesday June 2nd for clown-related reasons. Called back to the frontlines, I'm afraid...

Well gosh darn if my Diablo character isn't the edgiest boy you've ever seen. Also I can't decide if I like the red or the grey more. So edgy I feel like I am Mortal Kombat worthy

Every day is a quiet battle to stop myself from reinstalling Final Fantasy XI again and I am getting weaker...

Really love maining an esoteric healer character like Ultron in Marvel Rivals. I'm sure he's super popular and bound to get a ton of new cosmetics soon, right? Meanwhile in the Battle Pass:

Kinda tempted to put my FFlogs (cDPS) page as one of the additional images on a dating app and see if any guys out there actually recognise it and message me as a result It's like my raiding CV after all, so it should help me apply to ALL positions, right?

On the plus side, I am really excited for Evolved Mode in Evercold. On the minus side, I've been slacking playing FFXIV because I want to be able to play Evolved Mode combat already. 🫪

Been playing Diablo 4, World of Warcraft and Overwatch lately. Just completely in my Blizzard nonsense era. What's next, I buy tickets to Blizzcon or something? Is that still a thing, even?

This Rogue outfit in the Diablo 4 store, my goodness 💦

What's up skinny legends! Hit the slay button and show these local girls how it's done with the DIVA add-on, sashaying its way to Sanctuary right now! You go Miss Thang! Purr!

A moment of connection in Diablo 4 with two men hugging each other after going through the horrors. The vulnerability makes it feel like old friends who really have each others' backs. Rather than a lot of game writing where characters try to sound like badasses and ping dumb quips off of each other

Only about a month left until we have to kill that bastard clown again

Haircut (finally) achieved after two rescheduled appointments like I am the CEO of a Fortune 500 company

Tried to find the gay part of Brighton when I visited over the weekend until I realised that it's Brighton. All of it is the gay part. The lobby for the hotel my friend was staying at was legitimately just a bar that looked like this

They added a PET FERRET backpack to Diablo? Damn this game and its temptations...

Every boss in World of Warcraft comes down to one of two categories: - Eat my balls - Do not eat my balls Occasionally with a variant of - Eat my balls (but in moderation)

Not to rain all over other people's excitement, but I am far more interested in the changes to FF14's gameplay loops than the expac 'Evercold' itself. The metagame of tomestones, 2 min meta and job homogenisation has gotten dangerously stale and the devs implementing bold changes is sorely needed 👍

Two banger days in Brighton with the EZ Small gang (ft. special guest Sean)! The 2nd photo was a space-themed escape room that naturally we've had tons of practice for💪

I get a lot of compliments in WoW for playing less common class/race combos like Goblin Priest or Orc Rogue. All it takes is not rolling a Human or Elf and I'm some kind of outside the box visionary

The carbuncles are returning from migration for the summer

When the gang encounters that one elite your decks can't handle early in Act 1 👍

I find it kinda hilarious that Y'shtola is already the 4th most popular commander on EDHRec. People just really like catgirls. Also it helps they gave her some really cool art.

I dunno how rare shiny Pokemon are in Pokemon Champions. My guess is they are more common than usual? But I did get a shiny on my third 10-pull which was a pretty cool surprise!

Going to be insufferable in every Mythic+ group by constantly bringing up that I do well for a "B Tier Healer" (Disc Priest)

I don't think it's bad if you like any of these games or anything like that, but gosh darn this makes for a boring list

Me: "I can't be bothered with dating apps right now" But I will put on my clown nose and spend my Friday being rejected for raid groups in World of Warcraft 🤡

god this is so fucking sick, just unreal

I'm a little shy about showing off my body usually but friends have been gassing me up lately 😅

Best part of WoW Midnight so far is this rat god with the deep voice who yells about GLORIOUS ABUNDANCE a lot while blessing you so you can gather tons of materials

Decided to go to Twitchon EU at the end of May after all so I have about two months to work out hardcore and look my best in Rotterdam 💪

Marvel Rivals you can't just unironically call someone "Dr. Ket". What is their superpower going to be, making their enemies fall into a K-Hole?

I love in MMOs when they run out of material names for crafting so they start having to come up with stuff to make it sound next-level. This isn't ordinary Copper. This is uhhhh, REFULGENT Copper! Mining ordinary silver after two decades? No, no, you're mining for WILD BRILLIANT Silver, champion!
