Now that embargo's up, Estinien had my back in the aura farm. Put this in the trailer Yoshi-P

Ask a gamer about the ethics of paid mods and they'll draw a line thick as can be, but using a gameplay altering mod on live? Depends how much the playerbase is annoyed at the devs lol.

a rugged hunter stands over the viewer, staring them down. a revolver is held close to the camera, finger over the trigger, while a ghost hovers over the shoulder of the masked figure.

Send me home in a cloak of compiler skin I would post a pic with the cryo look for Sentinel but alas its not ready yet. Still glad to have finally done the compiler for real after the VB one. #marathon

Pretty bummed about the Pokemon Bank announcement. Lots of things I grew up with being sunset, for no other reason than some corporation decided it wasn't worth it. I thought I talked about it on here but I guess not? I did the ribbon master challenge, I cherish my Palisade ways hard to express.

Oh anyway I got this and I'll never need another fashion accessory, cheers

Avy looks kind of scared, surrounded by darkness, the only source of light the lantern he is holding up.

WHO GORS THER? Immersive Antique Lantern! Just like my torch and campfire mod, this adds a true light source to the new lantern accessory, which you can adjust the intensity of for gposes. ko-fi.com/s/82e3f08d65 heliosphere.app/mod/k3a4r2b4... www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/166108

Wasnt able to fit it into Operator 1.1 but since a friend asked about it, I do actually already have plans to eventually do a "Full XIV SFX" toggle, where every sound effect from a different game instead uses an XIV counterpart. More viable than youd expect just would need to be an update on its own

Dekken @dekken.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

1.1 is live! Big update w/ a refresh of all animations by Yow, 2 new Queen recolors, one provided by @zazarugaru.bsky.social and their take on BeneG's animation If you had a sub to me on Ko-Fi, they likely purged you due to an update blocking payments until I updated my info youtu.be/65pLKO6rlBU

Blazing Shot Textools currently has an issue with colorset right now, so have to wait until that gets addressed before I can continue working on the armor. Good excuse for gposing though.

Many mixed thoughts on the sudden death of D2. For a long time it was my home, even well into my time with XIV. Lots of things that could be said, but instead I'm going to focus on what it meant to me. Mashup WIP - The Man with a Blazing Gun

I saw Gundam Hathaway 2 last night (Very good and gorgeous on the big screen) and after my $15 ticket and $30 popcorn drink candy combo, I'd check the price of the Xi. My live reaction:

Dekken @dekken.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

This isnt from anything Ive seen in XIV recently, though I have gotten comments in the vein If there is a labor of love in modding, comments using it to bash the original game makers isnt going to go well for 99% of them. You dont pour 100s of hours into a free interpretation of a concept you hate

Now that the spoiler embargo is over, Loporrits: "If only we further developed our voidsent slaughter bots!" The humble Palisade Arsenal, the lunar-based machinist forge who made weaponry specifically for incursions into the void: Might be the most fitting event for a headcanon I've had lol

Eternally trapped between "1.1, just a week away!" and "I'm gonna be old and grey before this is done" but racial support is coming along. Some animations still need revision, but its mostly just implementation and vfx adjustment now.

- Added support for current DT Chocobo armor - Blanked out all new animations with basic idles to restore a basic level of functionality* *I would like to add custom animations at some point, but that will take time. This is just to restore the mod to evergreen status Avatar Chocobo is updated!

Dekken @dekken.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Like DT changing the facebones, its hard to say how much work I'll need to do in Evercold to update the overhauls across the two modes and what not. Could be a lot, could be a little. I'll almost certainly be very busy IRL in January, so just setting expectations I might only do one/it takes awhile

I saw an ozma-as-ramiel joke and I'm way ahead of the curve on that IG lmaoooo I have a channel in a private server where I post gpose concepts for me to circle around to when I get the posing bug and uh, a few of them were evangelion inspired lol

After feeling confident enough, I got around to building the kit of my favorite Mecha design, Line Ark's White Glint. I'll want to paint it one day but I'll need way more practice.

I've put up a kofi poll about how in the weeds we wanna get in terms of accuracy, it has a video showing the slower rate of fire that matches the animation, or if we want to keep up the high firerate vibes. Alas they are mutually exclusive. ko-fi.com/polls/Operat...

Continuing to chip away at 1.1, still got a lot of bugs to fix but nearly all the animations are ready, only like 2ish more to go. The elemental gun skills are also getting a polish pass to pretty up their casing ejection and have relevant exhaust smoke.

Ez8 and Re-GZ HG, the humble king and the champion of grunts. I made the Re-GZ first and just assumed HGs were bigger than the EG Gramps. Nope, Amuro just likes tall girls. Same, buddy.

Dekken @dekken.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

A "nobody asked" thing that gets in my head Operator, especially lately, is that military aesthetics unsurprisingly have a major role in propaganda, and the 360 era of FPSs that partially inspired it are especially egregious. Luckily XIV is relatively free of chuds so it hasnt been much of an issue.

Happy Friday the 13th, my black cat has come to absorb your bad luck. Built baby's first gunplay, the easy grade gramps. I broke the horn (nothing gorilla glue couldn't fix) but it was otherwise very approachable. It'd be a steal if it wasn't for tariffs on shipping.

I saw that Gundam x apex trailer and it gave me psychic damage. Not because oh crossover, I don't play apex. It looks great. But if only there were GIANT ROBOTS IN THE SETTING for them to work with instead of making them into power armor! Some kind of titans!!! That fall!!!

Helldivers 2 accidentally making the capital a bit too steep to realistically break after the hackers, only to then pivot and follow up the SEAF subplot by giving us a choice between continuing the push or saving them at SOLIDARITET through an act of solidarity. Beautiful, fantastic DM flexibility

More experimentation with the Hardlight Blade while chipping away at Operator 1.1 I think the blades nearly done, though I'm not sure im sold on the digital handguard. Wondering if I should add some more effects to the blade or if less is more.

Redid the profile pic now that we finally have a modded outfit that scratches the naval uniform itch I've always wanted for Elijah (Prinz by Modiste) Today also marks me becoming a year older. Never a year younger smh.

A portrait of Elijah in a naval uniform, decorated by a fur collared cape. He rests one hand on his rapier. The depiction is placed in a baroque brown frame resting on a black marble wall.

I've left XMA once before, for a year as well, and at the time it was really rough. Aetherlink was not a viable alternative, and I don't think Heliosphere was a thing at the time iirc? I put a few things on Ko-Fi, but people were so unaware of it they thought I stopped modding at the time lol (1/4)

Gave it the pilot suit collar and backpack which helped with blending the chestpiece and making it feel air-tight.
