Project Metafalica 2.0, a new re-translation for Ar Tonelico 2 is out today. I've spent over a year working on this. AT2 is a PS2 jrpg about giving psychedelic therapy to terrible women in order to make them more powerful and it completely transformed my life. projectmetafalica.com #ArTonelico

"You ready to rumble?" Decided to treat myself for my upcoming birthday and got myself another commission of my WoL. She turned out so cool! 🤩 #FFXIV #FFXIVart Drawn by the one and only @yoracrab.bsky.social

A drawing of a muscular woman facing the viewer. She is visible from just above the thighs up. She is cracking her knuckles and giving a confident look, ready for a fight. She has a cat's ears and tail. Both her hair and the fur on her tail or of a dark purple shade. Her eyes' irises are yellow, and her pupils are vertically slitted. In her right ear, there is a earring consisting mostly of a small red cord. She is wearing a black crop top with fishnet fabric underneath, as well as hotpants made from distressed jeans fabric. This leaves her muscular arms and midriff exposed. The base of her hands if wrapped in bandages, covering palm and wrists, but leaving her fingers free. Around her neck she is wearing a single string necklace from which hangs a dark red, thin, and angular stone. On the side of her face are facial markings reminiscent of whiskers.
Her overall design suggests she is a Miqo'te, a race of people with cat traits, from MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.

While I obviously haven't been able to test them in a one-shot yet, reading through the alpha playtest rules for VtM V6, this might be the first edition of a Vampire game of either the oWoD or CoD lines that I won't have mixed feelings about. This is not a compliment.

Got a commission of another of my #FFXIV characters. Meet my "video archive recording Au Ra", Nao*! Drawn by the awesome @midorin567.bsky.social ! #FFXIVart #art

A drawing depicting a wide, grassy landscape. The sky is grey and overcast, becoming brighter towards the horizon. Many clouds give the impression of unruly weather. Towards the far right in the distance stand a group of Japanese stone markers and lanterns.

In the centre stands a woman with white horns, a scaled white tail, and some white scales covering parts of her arms, face and legs; an Au Ra as depicted in the world of Square Enix's MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. She is backlit by the light coming from the horizon.

She is wearing a black dogi, with the right shoulder uncovered (kata-hada). Her breasts are bound with a sarashi. A white obi holds her outfit together, while her legs are covered by a long white loincloth.
Her feet are in geta, and in her short, white hair she wears a kogai.

In her hands, she holds a katana, currently pointed forwards and towards the ground in a battle-ready stance.

Her bright blue eyes are aimed at the viewer, a confident grin playing on her face.

A close-up crop of the same picture, focused on the woman.

Finished #007FirstLight, a game so preoccupied with being like a James Bond movie that it loses track of why IOI sounded like a perfect match for a James Bond game to begin with. The writing has structural issues, but the presentation mostly carries the story, only really falling apart at the end.

Sad to see IOI had to delay 007 First Light by a few more days, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. Shame though they didn't want my money.

To the left an advertisement for various pre-order bonuses can be seen, which states the games release date of 27th of May 2026, confirming that the game has not been delayed.

To the right, there is a notification that the game includes Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.

Finished Resident Evil 9. It's a lot of fun. There are some pacing issues, but it balances its 2 styles of survival horror well. Feels like a true return to form after the somewhat lackluster RE3R and RE4R. 👍 Sadly, the plot doesn't match that quality, buried in pointless retcons and empty twists.

FWIW, evolved mode for DRG improves on the complete loss of identity they gave the class in Dawntrail. Positionals need to have high impact on damage to make this new identity work though. I wonder what new identities they'll give jobs that lived by the dead 2 minute meta like DNC and AST. #FFXIV

m10s down (again with PF) This fight is weird. It starts out really annoying and dull, but the further I got the more I warmed up to it. So much to optimise! However, PF made it a pretty painful experience. Not as big of a PF blocker as m6s was, but Snaking gives me more difficulty dissonance.

A screenshot from the video game "Final Fantasy XIV"'s Dawntrail expansion. It depicts the aftermath of the second fight of Dawntrail's final savage raid tier, "AAC Heavyweight M2 (Savage).

Nex to him, two player characters are posing for a victory screenshot, one jumping with joy, the other one sitting on the ground.

m9s down with PF With the usual timezone troubles, it took a bit longer than I hoped, but should still leave me plenty of time for m10s over the weekend so I can hopefully at least knock out the first two (three, technically😉) in week 1.

A friend gave me a code for #Soulframe pre-alpha release 12. Seems a decent framework to build upon, but needs to pick a lane how combat should feel. Overworld combat is boring, some boss fights already pretty good. It was decent... until I hit the incredibly strict and archaic inventory limit.🙄
