Questing Refuge

Are you daring to suggest that we actually live in a reality with context and time and not just an endless series of trolley problems?

I think all the models can be useful depending on the situation and none will be a lens to view everything perfectly alone. It becomes tricky because of how the medical model is the only model most people know and it’s been so engrained into the current capitalism machines doing harm.

Gonna start wishing for more apps to go into maintenance mode to guarantee no more AI bullshit.

It's so cool seeing everything you're doing. Wishing the best for ya always!

Cough cough

even on insurance my copays have skyrocketed! Checkups for gender affirming like tripled.

Blitzball game from Final Fantasy X

Day 23, Favorite Minigame - Blitzball from Final Fantasy X

I like when I can basically ignore the minigames - and I did the first time I played the game, but WOW did I get sucked into this on following playthrus. I just absolutely love this weird real time tactical gameplay for sports.

And the winner is Tunic! A Reconstructed video thoroughly analyzing this game will release sometime in 2026. But more importantly, you all raised $2,530 for Immigrant Defenders Law Center! It's really incredible to see how much generosity people have in this difficult time. I think we'll make it 💙

I will never stop pointing out that one of her only things she spouted loudly in her platform was fucking building a better wall than Trump. Like C'MON.

I'm not being serious - but it's the same kind of logic. I stand by my prior post that everyone who engages in annoying voting discourse like this is definitely a "back to brunch" person tho.

I think the only people we can blame besides the Dems is people like you actually. Think of all the votes you've probably lost by showing how absolutely awful you are.

Day 22, Final Fantasy You Most Played - Final Fantasy 14 (probably?)

I don't technically know, I'm guessin 14 since I've played it 3 times from scratch even if I've never started Shadowbringers. But I did also play FF11 way back.

But of the NOT MMO ones, it's definitely Final Fantasy 4.

I have refused to let myself open the pandora's box on this cause I know my brain and what that will unleash.

at this point I'm half expecting he's gonna be in the next batch of stuff released associated with the same people

Heavensward was so good!

We won best use of theme and got an honorable mention for best art!

We just had our lowest patreon payout in 2 years. We don't typically take sponsors and our next 2 projects are both ones that would be significantly weakened by the presence of one. If you enjoy our work and have funds to comfortably pledge to support us right now, we would really appreciate it.

Today is the very last day to force me to make a Reconstructed video on whatever you want! Whatever suggestion has the most dollars donated to Immigrant Defenders Law Center will be the subject of a video later this year! 16 hours left!

Red Mage from Final Fantasy 14

Day 21, Favorite Armor Design - Red Mage

Red Mages have always been a favorite of mine - but damn the design in FF14 is just so good.

Today is the 2nd-to-last day to make me make a video on whatever you want! Whatever subject gets the most dollars donated to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center (tilt.fyi/SFvSTMquow) will receive a Reconstructed video sometime this year!

Final Fantasy X for the Playstation 2

Day 20, Favorite Story - Final Fantasy X

Changing the world even at your own expense. Exploring what it means to be and find family.

Oddnon, a big man with an even bigger grin

No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.
-Terry Pratchett

Oddnon once said they wanted their memorial to be a roast

I'm sorry, habibi, that I can't fulfill your wish, but nobody can think of anything bad to say about you

the only people who could talk shit about Oddnon were Oddnon and racists

I miss you

I restarted every time I came back too. So, I played through Heavensward twice before coming back a 3rd time and finished Stormblood. I've loved all of it too, even if the beginning of ARR takes time to build up, but honestly there's so many little details in the world to love and appreciate.

There's that line "Your favourite YouTubers' favourite YouTuber". Let's talk about your Favourite YouTuber's favourite BTS person

You have probably come across a charity stream that Oddnon did work on. You may not know them but that is okay-they were extremely private and did not like the spotlight

RIP Oddnon, immediately thought of this character because I was thinking "wow I never played FF14 with Oddnon" even though my character is on a server because they mentioned they were on it.

Tataru from Final Fantasy 14

Day 19, Favorite Supporting Character or NPC - Tataru from FF14.

Struggles with their own self worth and worried they cannot do enough, while being someone who holds it together for everyone else. They are the sweetest.
