Damn, this week's Zeztz is so awesome! Exdream is sooo cool~! ( >ω<)

So many things I want to fix now that I've got the hang of rigging in live2d, but I can work on that over time later. Just a handful of things to finish up now... Tomorrow for sure...

Got a chill PS2 music playlist on and Jade Cocoon 2 tracks keep coming up. I really wanna replay it sometime because I loved it as a kid, but never got around to finishing it. Wonder if it still holds up...

Forget the all-nighter; live2d is kicking my ass, so I'm going to sleep. Oyasumi...

Woops, got sucked into doomscrolling again. I must look like a crazy person to some of the folks whose posts keep ending up on my timeline; suddenly show up like "Kyosuke Kadoya liked 34 posts" just because the algo dropped them in front of me. But I'm just procrastinating...

Have to be up early for something but don't want to go to sleep early, so instead I'm just going to try and pull an all-nighter for the first time in years. This will be interesting...

I had no idea we could get tickets from dailies... I should refresh them more often.

Wow, today's Zeztz was not what I was expecting at all! But so damn good...

Man, I love seeing all the art that comes out for golden week. (￣ω￣ ) Maybe I should draw something myself...

Had a quick flash of really wanting to watch something, but forgot what it even was before I could even remember what it was called. Just immediately left with a feeling of wanting to watch... something..? Wtf brain?

"Let's get some aetherwell progress for my relic. A new alliance raid came out yesterday; maybe I'll get that in roulette!" You fool. You idiot. You utter baka. Labyrinth of the Ancients be upon ye.

Damn it. I was doing so well holding back the tears throughout the end of Echoes of Vana'diel, but that final screen got me sobbing... FFXI is a game that has meant so much to me through the years. I don't know how else to describe it, but it just feels like home...

Might've been a bit of a mistake jumping right back into practicing karaoke the first night I wasn't coughing anymore lmao. Can't stop coughing again now.

Forgot there was stuff in the current PvP series that I actually wanted. Guess I'll be playing XIV right up until maintenance tonight... ^^;

So uhh... When are we getting Ironmouse's Fanfest performances as orchestrion rolls? 👀

What if 8.0's tank is dual shield... but Zeztz Barrier style? Combine the two halves into one for their equivalent to PLD's Passage of Arms...

Overall, I'm pretty hyped for Evercold! Not so much for the long wait... Really hope they can make good on reducing the length of the patch cycle. Looking forward to learn more at Berlin Fanfest! Really curious about the new jobs in particular~

I wasn't gonna livepost the keynote, but I can't hold back! 🧵⬇️

So the new expansion is Evercold! The trailer looks great!

Time for the FFXIV Fanfest Keynote! Let's go!! o((>ω< ))o

Anyway, making more progress. Might actually be able to finish the rigging tomorrow! #KyoKArt #wip

>have headache >watch stream >headache disappears >stream ends >headache returns Some people really do just make everything better just by existing.

Nearly done rigging my model and now I want to redraw the entire thing... I'll just sleep on it and hope the feeling goes away by tomorrow. Anyway, since Xenoverse 3 got me in a Dragon Ball mood; here's a quick sketch of my XV1 Namekian and XV2 Saiyan characters! #rkgk

Aaaaah, Xenoverse 3 FINALLY! o((>ω< ))o www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_Co... Xenoverse 2 was already pretty great; it really wouldn't take much to make this one of the best DB games ever. It just needs more care and polish this time, not just more content.

Have an appointment in town like 30 minutes before the FFXIV live letter. It'll already be cutting it close, but I want to pick up food on my way back too... @_@

Head X-axis movement done. Y-axis tomorrow. Lots to learn still... Time for bed... #KyoKArt #wip

Spent the first half of the day coughing non-stop, the latter half of the day sneezing non-stop... Even when I finish rigging my model I might not be able to stream because my throat is wrecked. ( ;ω;)

Eye rigging done... Kill me now...

Listening to playlists of PS2 music while working on stuff, I come across so many tracks that sound incredible. But then I go look up the game they're from and even Wikipedia is like "this game was scientifically proven to be complete trash", and it's so disappointing.

I've been getting more posts on the timeline from people playing through FFXIV and man, sometimes I wish I could experience it all for the first time again. What an incredible journey it's been so far... I can't wait to see what fanfest brings!

Open up Live2D to continue rigging my model and the body/arms for one outfit have been replaced with those from another... Thought maybe I messed up when editing stuff last time, but everything is normal when opening the PSD in Clip Studio... Huh...

Kinda wanna stream FFXIV, but only being able to do story during streaming hours would be hell once the expansion hits...

The dawning realization that once I'm done rigging I'll be streaming again... I need to figure out what the heck I'm gonna stream! I guess I'll need to put together a schedule of sorts. Hmm... What to do...

Finished watching Higashi no Kairou... I love Garo so much; it's always an absolute blast to watch. Really hope that post-credits scene was a hint at another Ryuga series coming soon...

Kinda disappointed the Hardy-Daytona is a Mogstation mount. A little part of me was hoping it'd be the CE bonus mount for 8.0, but it was in the files way too early for that...

No oshis streaming... I have stuff to draw... Now would be a perfect time for an art stream! ...if not for the fact that I haven't slept in two days and can barely keep my eyes open at this point. On the plus side, outfits are finished; all that's left is to rig the model!

I should be rigging, not working on a third outfit design... #wip

Man, Cover's announcement about Holostars (and some of the reactions to it) is just so... ugh.

Fan replaced! So quiet again!

So one of the fans on my PC began rattling, so I bought a replacement. Popped open the case, took one look at the absolute spaghetti-ass mess of wires, and closed it back up without replacing the fan. I'm not dealing with that right now. Next time I'm building my PC myself...

Happy birthday, Kamen Rider! 🎂 Such an important series to me, full of some of my favourite shows and movies. Hoping for many, many more years of henshins and Rider kicks to come!

Ever Crisis releasing the low-poly costumes for April Fool's just makes me miss First Soldier again... Such a genuinely fun game, killed by platform exclusivity, poor optimization, and greedy monetization. I want it back...

I seem to have a very specific kind of luck... 160 pulls. 4 Gachirin, 0 Fuga, or even Choun.

Delusion of the day: making friends with enough vtubers to cover JAM Project songs together.

Been giving Dissidia Duellum a shot, and it's not bad. Always a good laugh whenever we get Atomos on the Ginza Crosswalk map; someone always forgets about the beam. Remember to look both ways when crossing the street!

20 years ago today, I installed Final Fantasy XI and took my first steps into the world of Vana'diel. The beginning of a long, incredible adventure through which I met so many wonderful people, some of whom have become like family to me. Hard to believe it's been so long...

Ah, it's once again that time of year where the sun is already out by the time I go to bed...

This is probably a mistake, but it's super late (8am) so I'm well past caring... I've opened a Ko-fi! I don't really want to lock exclusive content behind it, so I don't really know what I'll put there, but if anyone wants to support my delusions of grandeur, now they can! ko-fi.com/kyosukekadoya

Looking at the CSP 5.0 features and really tempted to upgrade...
