In the meantime, I was playing Mario Kart World today, which is a lovely soundtrack that is locked behind a game where stuff like this happens and makes me forget about the world for a fleeting moment:

I can't unsee this now, thanks.

Modest dossier investments continue to bring dividends in Endfield. (I've only willingly hard pitied for Laev/Zhuang) To date, I'm only missing Rossi and Tangtang.

#Warframe The free Primary for watching TennoCon this year is pretty fun and easy to use so I went and tried rolling a Riven for it and...I actually got one. The relevant resource stashes are depleted now but I suppose I must ask the proverbial chatroom the age old question: Is this anything?

#OSRS #OldSchoolRuneScape I think I've gotten this pet at least twice in Leagues so it feels nice to finally have it come home in main game. Though with that being said my Abyssal Sire c'log feels extremely cursed. also yes my kph is garbage but I'm so frugal to a fault you'd think I was an Ironman

This makes me want to do my part and add to the pile. I got this one for when an Elafia gets a bow proper or if Firewatch would qualify. (source: a very excellent YTP at 1:17)

Everyone is so cute in this collab and I'm happy Rosa and Ifrit get sweet outfits too but then they're just like "Leto angy Paleroche girlie let's do the sticky note eyebrow bit"

"I smoulder with generic rage"

I can appreciate an OSRS quest that isn't a complete drain on my supplies but still provides an actual fun fight. Bravo. also the blisterwood stakes should get a damage bonus against vampyre kraken but nobody thought that far ahead with sailing, send tweet

Heaven forbid I try to use a non-orthagonal angle, good grief. If I ever get any crap for using any evil megacorpo software, let it be known that I do so trying to minimize usage of any feature deemed harmful and to avoid stuff like THIS.

On @asadekai.bsky.social's stream right now for his Minos group-backseat collab and ME-6 with Minos operators only is such a goofy mechanical interaction clear. Normally the text of the tooltips is very true to the actual behavior...but green heals can go on Fountains too. As a treat.

Scratching "Seeing someone streaming Arknights in the Endfield Twitch category" off my bingo card today:

If you make Arknights Looseleaf layouts with little guys in your Operator's art you are contractually obligated to use the RA quest sticker above their head, sorry I don't make the rules.

I suppose I should at least post exactly what I'm talking about if this website lets me: (I had to record this on my phone since GPG is down for PC then send the recording to my PC and post it via desktop because bsky's app encounters an error compressing the video, very functional tech today lmao)

#Endfield Electric Engine go brrrrrrrrrr Pretty satisfied considering I fell off the grind, I could maybe push 35 if I had the stats. But I'm still pretty happy being able to build around my favorite team and aging reflexes 😂 Very solid proof of how good The Gryph™ is at granular difficulty design.

My timeline's doing more tastemaking again so I guess my theme here is '9 more smaller(ish), weirder titles that I have clocked a non-zero amount of Steam hours on that have made formative memories of mine for one reason or another. Card link here, or look at the alt text for searchable titles.

You think they'd let me in backstage if I showed them this?...

It took me too much time off-stream for me to remember my favorite IS5 King's carry for Fremont's burdenbeast scheiße. Besides Susie Glitter, Matsukiri wheeled & dealed for the FRD'S while Wulfenite & Lunacub played tower control. Probably not strong enough for Ultimate Trial though. 🛶🙅‍♂️ I'm good.

Farewell, Leagues. I wish you didn't drop during the busiest gaming time of my life. Kickin' myself for going Barbarian Gathering + Flow State instead of stacking up AFK gains. Also probably should've gone Eternal Sustenance/Flask of Fervor for doing unfamiliar content like CM CoX. Ah well.

Apropos of nothing, if you're browsing YouTube outside of your Subscriptions feed and you keep seeing recommendations for stinky channels you wish to never see again unless you *willingly* look them up, you can open up the "meatball" menu and smite them to your personal algorithmic Shadow Realm.

#Arknights Missed Connections: I don't necessarily want to expose my exact location here but if you were wearing a rad Hoshiguma shirt today that looked kind of like this while you were picking up food, you left before my mind could register & compliment you on it + ask you where you got it from.

I will post the following highlight from this Fanime haul here as an exception though: @largeonions.bsky.social is the most appropriate handle of all time because the amount of tears my wallet had to shed for this is equivalent to the tears generated from cutting the aforementioned large onions. 🥹🧅

Turns out, Hika went and took a hotel photo of the (mostly) full spread of our loot from Fanime, so I'll just post that here. Since not everyone's on Bluesky anyway and I'm not too keen on a big tag thread like I did last time, I'll be posting the more detailed attributions to my Discord server.

Proof's in the pudding, you're welcome. First entry in the character specific Memes page. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

My natural bias towards the heroes I have more experience with is showing here but I think it's the color palette of Mumu's Ambisynth clones that *really* did it for me:

Some additional stats that I didn't think to add to the YouTube post but will post up for posterity:

NGL it stings a little bit seeing the stats screen empty for multiplayer but despite that I still had a lot of fun with the mode and making guides for it with the ease of use and accessibility of solo mode. Here's to a fun next season of Stronghold Protocol whenever it drops!

Oh hold up, gotta get my AIC Index on the way out.
