Naming the K9 Vanquish Soul deck I just finished building in Master Duel "the worst meta yet" after I played during the Tearlaments meta and the Maliss meta

Me seeing the Masquerena bundles in Master Duel while my account that has spent no real money has 7k gems: "I'm not interested in any new cards, I'll get these"

Me after one duel against K9 Vanquish Soul: "I dismantled Maliss and spent the rest of my gems to start building K9VS and I'm 9 URs short"

As of today I've officially entered my post-vtuber era

Will be on hiatus from streaming for at least the next two weeks because something came up with my family at home, but I do plan to be back eventually

The answer to those two questions were no and no

But I did find a lot of big Extra Deck monsters for a lot of decks that are NOT that one

Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game "The Chronicles Deck - The Fallen & The Virtuous"

Shirt with a picture in the style of the Corona Extra beer logo, but instead it says: "Ocarina of Time" "Made in Hyrule" "OoT" "Power Wisdom Courage" "64 Classic" "Est. 1998" "Found and played by the HERO OF TIME" "SONG OF TIME" and what it looks like when you play the Song of Time in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

And here is what I bought

In addition to the Deck, I also bought a Yugioh World Championship 2025 box and three booster packs of Power of the Elements. I'll wait until I get home to find out if I got any staples to add to the Deck, or Tearlaments Kitkallos just to keep as a souvenir

I also learned about the Taisen Puzzle-dama games. Even if only because I recognized Shiori Fujisaki, from Tokimeki Memorial, who I have only ever played as in other games

It was similar to but not quite the same as Puyo Puyo, but I figured out enough about it to beat at least ONE stage of it

Picture of the results screen of Tetris NES' A-Type mode. Instead of a rocket ship taking off, a UFO is where the rocket ship should be, and the Cathedral (usually on the right) took off into space instead

Picture of the results screen of Tetris NES' B-Type mode, for clearing Level 9 at Height 5. The player is congratulated by Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Pit, Link, and Samus. Pieces of the Cathedral are also missing after flying up into space

In the console room, I found NES Tetris, which I originally had way back then. It was good to see both of the best endings again

An arcade cabinet for "Chase Chase Jokers"

Saturday was more chiptune and arcade. This time I tried out yet another Konami arcade game that I will never be able to play anywhere else

I also went to a Riichi Mahjong Tournament. Finished 10th out of 32 at +19, not bad for 3 East-only games. Didn't get the big prize, but every participant got one of DC Riichi's stickers and I chose the "Kantent" one

Picture of a monitor that says "What the heck is a 'dwelling of duels' A brief history before we start the listening party" (the name is a pun on the name of the Castlevania song, Dwelling of Doom)

On Friday, in addition to the above, I went to THIS. I gotta show up for this more often than just at Magfest, too

Picture of the monitor at the Chipspace stage, which says "MAGFest 20X6 Chipspace" and has Mega Man in the background

Forgot to make my Magfest posts here and didn't actually take many pictures but, sure, thread

After getting there way too early Thursday I saw the two Chipspace showcases that day and spent the time in between at the arcade. Should have taken more pictures

Wishing you the best of luck with your recovery and your future projects!

Just updated the name of my Yu-gi-oh deck

YouTube video by Early Exit stop chasing views instead chase authenticity

I've seen dozens of videos like this by now, but this one made me realize that I've been doing it wrong *as a viewer* and not just as a content creator youtu.be/j88hJW2X7BU

welcome back, artists

Congrats on the title, assuming that score stays S Rank

I should have played more tonpuu and less sanma

happy festivus

Everyone on Twitter posting "Your most liked tweet of the year" threads and reminding me that mine was a quote tweet of VTuber Feet Fan with a picture of my feet and not related to any of my usual content at all, for the second year in a row

The YouTube home page has shown me so many "Everything sucks but here's what you can do about it" videos lately that I am convinced even these videos are just the next episode of everyone following the trends for a quick buck

This previous post of mine explains my reasons for this bsky.app/profile/miko...

So I just made the announcement on Twitter that I'm going to stop using the VTuber model at the end of January 2026 and that I made a brand new account there that I'll switch to after that

But here on bsky I'm just going to keep this account

Post from Jenn (yattemnkchwkrn): "you spending money in your games is just to make its already rich IP owner even richer | me spending money in Umamusume is to invest in future anime production and the umamusume-fication of more racehorses | we are not the same" | quoting Vulpes (Internextion) posting "Best Mobile Game" nominees (Destiny Rising; Persona 5 The Phantom X; Sonic Rumble; Umamusume Pretty Derby; and Wuthering Waves) calling all of them "MONEY SCAM" EXCEPT Umamusume

Me seeing this and thinking "I only spent money on Fate/Grand Order to invest in Tsukihime" forgetting that we did eventually get the remake

Seeing the "Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation" post again and realizing that my video game streams that are Intrinsically Motivated are so few and far between that they might as well be special events

(As in, my "7th VTuber Anniversary Special" ones were almost the only ones all year)

The AI read all those random responses to those "Ketchup does not exist, what do you put on these fries" posts

Even if the Steam Machine turns out to be amazing, I will constantly remind myself that I may start playing Mabinogi again and there is still 0 chance I will be able to play any Nexon game on that even if I set up wine and everything

Bought that thing day one, 10 years ago. A lady who was working at the local GameStop for her first day had THAT as her first sale

I never did go back and finish that one Digimon romhack I started playing

Me seeing the Steam Machine reveal and getting flashbacks to the Ouya

Me, needing only West to complete my hand with Kokushi Musou (yakuman), watching the opponent across from me complete her hand with Four Concealed Triplets (also yakuman), by drawing West

Last night on Mah-Jong Fight Club SP, THIS happened to me

Couldn't even be mad, I was given the option to declare Nine Terminal Draw at the start of the hand and I chose not to

Never mind, turned it on today and it still told me I was not receiving security updates anymore

Double logging into Mabinogi to trade a succubus outfit from one account to another today will probably be the last time I ever use the laptop

congrats!
