Whatever, man. Just let me date Inutade (or be friends with her). www.idrlabs.com/dungeon-mesh...

Maybe after I take singing lessons I'll have the confidence to actually want to sing the songs I've been writing. In the meantime. I'm still learning how to produce music without any music theory and just going by what my ear think sounds good. Haven't done that since I was 15 lol.

I want to double dip the Dark Souls games on Steam. I really do! But Bandai Namco's sales for them suck ass! Their physical copies, sold by other people, are always sub $15 at most. Problem is, I'm too lazy to boot up my PS4 right now lol. (and I love randomizers for those games ._.)

@oromoney.bsky.social Grats on leveling up! Now uh... press tab, tab, space, then enter to get your gift.

So- California announced that 9/25 will be Dolly Parton day. And to honor her, I'm going to try and learn one of her songs to play on that day. I'm going to go with something easy and also something that I can relate to right now. "I Will Always Love You" And if I can get that down, "Jolene".

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I'm surprisingly obsessed with mastering "What a Wonderful" world right now on Ukulele (accuracy). I shouldn't be because of who it's meant for, but I guess that makes it all more real. I know they're dead and gone, but I hope my sentiments can echo in the past or another timeline. Final goodbye.

I... I was gonna post some old webcomics I made when I was 15/16 and... I cringed out that folder so hard. Some I used to post on the Nsider forum. Some on VGDC. And well, yeah... Holy hell. That... I didn't expect that. So here's an unfinished colored drawing of Kakashi I never got to.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Not to yuck anyone's yum, but I still find it remarkable that people still use achievements as a valid leverage pro and lack thereof as a con. Achievements... Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with it or found "gamer cred" laughable, but alright. As long as the game is fun.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

When it comes to Final Fantasy I, II, III, V, and VI, I can't help but want to play them because you can always play them differently, are short n sweet, and not bound by forced story segments that much. (IV really is the worst for that though. It's 100% on rails.) -Chaos was really hard this time.

000

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

What can I say. Final Fantasy is easy to just pick up and play from start to finish. Unfortunately, I'll have to stop here. But turning off encounters saved me a TON of time where I would normally just run-away and have to re-load just to "sequence" break this route.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Me: Alright. I finished Final Fantasy II PR and accidentally started a PSP file. I should really get to playing Expedition 33. Also Me: Alright. I defeat the Lich. Maybe I should probably sorta kinda at least get the air ship to get the rat tail to job advance to obliterates Marilith... *cough*

030

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Welp. Final Fantasy II PR is done. I accidentally started a PSP file last night and got Kashuan >_> Anyway! Only one PR remains. IV. That one can wait a long while more lol. But I also have other FFs I want to revisit. X is next. Ah- Final Fantasy X on PS2. You almost killed the franchise for me.

000

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Debating if I should finish Final Fantasy II PR right now ASAP by turning off encounters because I'm already too overpowered just by basic leveling alone or just AFK in Pandaemonium because it's the best Final Fantasy final dungeon track in the series (for me). Hm...

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I'm starting to think that lifting weights is far easier than a bodyweight exercise routine. When I lift, each rep to the point of failure is nothing compared to a burpee, knee raise, flute bridge, or pull up. But again. My bodyweight is more than how much I lift. I hate working out! Aughhhh

I regret not buying a 1TB micro sd card when they were cheap. Sure I have like, 5 512GB micro sd cards, but having one big one would've been nice for my Odin 2 Portal. And for my phone... and for my Switch. I'm such a data hoarder lol.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I was gonna write a silly little prompt, but then I ended up writing a whole skeleton for a mini-novel. And as I wrote it, I realized what it meant and why I was writing it. I have to let go of some things and let them live only as memories.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Final playing the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy II and man is it -too- easy. The GBA one was pretty easy, but this one is -TOO- easy. I'm steam rolling over everything with only walking around the world. I sure do love the PSone version more, but goddamn. Anyway- game is still fun.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Supposedly, after you've been working out for 1-2 months, you begin to like it. I'm a little over 3 months and every day I've been hating it. I legit never want to do them. Granted, I'm doing body-weight exercises for strength and not going to an air conditioned gym lifting weights for mass.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Metroid Ravenous is a very, very, very, very stupid title. All the photos, while humorous, don't really touch on what makes me curious about the game itself. Is Ravenous going to touch on the whole Metroid DNA aspect from Fusion? I really want to know! I had ideas with that, BMS, and the federation!

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This wasn't the main intention, but I figure, why not? The actual intention is to have a big ol 4k resolution of my portraits all at once. But I'm lazy right now. So I just organized it as such. I'll do that in a bit. WAR>PLD>GNB>DRK>SCH>AST>WHM>SGE>BRD>MCH> DNC>BLM>SMN>RDM>PCT>NIN>SAM>RPR>VPR>DRG

@carmenfflv.bsky.social You only need 60 Moogle Tomestones with the event for the froggy outfit that you know Maelorn will want Strophie to wear, hehe.

Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson performed by (in a Miss Piggy voice) Moi! SoCal got some rain due to some hurricanes. This song is special to me because it reminds me of a precious moment in time. I've only been practicing #Ukulele for 2 months, but I'm glad I can play this despite my tired voice.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I was looking up some "sad" strumming patterns and came across a video using a DUU, DUU, D pattern for it. It's kind of moody, but not quite me. And then for the next hour, I just ended up messing around and using other strumming patterns to make it moodier. Not only a first, but fun for me to do!

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I've written almost an album's worth of music in terms of lyrics. I also have the melody to it when singing it. A lot of it is pretty depressing. Kind of like a Norah Jones album or John Mayer. No idea how any of these songs would work on an Ukulele that isn't a baritone. Anyway- Happy songs when?

"Wake me up when September ends". I remember this being a joke to me in high school with friends. Just that line. I would say it for school, testing, whatever. But now. I'm willing to sacrifice a month of living just so I can skip to the part where I'm feeling a bit better. Heh. Life.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

So- Ukulele de Chocobo was suppose to be my final boss for the end of the year. I've only been practicing Ukulele for 2 months now, but I do have a number of songs under me and I'm proud of that. But now I want to learn a song that seems way over my head, but goddammit, It's by Queen!

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I find it funny how I can't always help but think of this scene (link) when it comes to this couple in FFXIV and this moment in the MSQ. youtu.be/gV0LIIE2sOw?...

My therapist got my saying a mantra now. She knows that this mantra, to me, is BS and likely a lie, but she wants me to say it anyway. ._. It sucks. I hate this homework assignment. But I'll do it. Because it's for me. Love really fucks you up, man.

000

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I didn't realize how powerful music was when you sung and played the piece itself. I didn't expect to breakdown in tears. There's so much weight to a simple melody and lyrics. It's so heavy.

020

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Taking care of my nails is so foreign to me. I would just clip them and clean them if I had gun under them, but filing them to me smooth and symmetrical just so I can strum and play the Ukulele better is kind of wild to me lol.

000

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I think I'm starting to realize that I have nothing to live for anymore. I did a couple of years back, but now I don't. And i'm just drifting through life having some sort of "living guilt". I have to make a new purpose for me now, but man, I have no idea what to do and how to start. It's wild.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

I never do this when a celebrity dies. But Dolly Parton wasn't a celebrity to me. To to take that status away from her, but to me, she was a shining example of a genuine good human being never using her status, not getting corrupted by fame and the industry, and using her wealth to help others.

Alright. Final Fantasy IX's Melodies of Life performed by (miss Piggy's voice) moi on Ukulele. My fingers aren't dexterous and living near LAX got me all distracted since I caught all the airplanes. After six takes of waiting for planes and flubbin- well, "fuggit". www.instagram.com/p/DcRYt1iBcN6/

I've seen some horrible things in my life. But people using the analog stick to play 2D platformers is something I simply cannot stomach. Who hurt you?

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

It sucks that you your fingers are garbage at playing string instruments once they soaked in some water. They become tender even with callouses. I just wanna keep strumming, man! (Despite this, I still played the Chocobo Theme through the pain because I needed to hear it lol)

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

It's kind of exciting that by the end of the year, with how well I've been doing these past 11 weeks, I'll be very close to my high school weight post-grad year. And hopefully, by the next year, I'll be a cusp M to L where I can finally cosplay as a favorite FF protagonist of mine. neat.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Alone for a while, I've been searching through the dark... For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart. To weave, by picking up the pieces that remain. Melodies~ of Life~ Loves lost refrain~ Even though I know the song, I till flub some chords because I don't have long fingers. Oh well.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I think I'm gonna begin using my IG to post my photos again, but also go on rants in my head about stuff I like. I'd use my youtube, but I have a "bigger" following over there and as much as I appreciate it, I rather leave it to video game footage (aside my stream rants that no one watches lol).

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Almost made it to 40yrs of my life not ever needing surgery lol. Oh well. It's funny because throughout my whole life, I have been battered, cut, beaten, bruised, hit with baseballs (and a bat), scraped, collapsed on, & so on Never broken a bone or internal bleeding. But my big ol depression got me.

I forget that hugging women means them leaving their smell (product) on you for a long time. For context. I do not like product smell. Lotions, hair spray, perfume, and so on... They're often too pungent. And somehow they also stick to my dog's fur! Eugh.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I was suppose to post myself playing "The Day Will Come" from Final Fantasy V, but it was kinda hot, I couldn't last that long without a fan blasting on me after 2 minutes, and honestly, now that it's dark, I don't want to set up lighting. I'll try for tomorrow. I'm still not on-par with tempo yet.

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Every time I learn a Final Fantasy song, I add a Chocobo-related sticker. The left is when I learned the Chocob Theme. The right is learning both Melodies of Life and The Day Will Come at the same day. Of course, my real boss fight this year is going to be Ukulele de Chocobo. K-.... kweh?!

030

OpaqueFlake @opaqueflake.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

I guess today was an Ukulele day. I finished the Melodies of Life by learning the chorus. Then I learned a Final Fantasy V song, "The Day Will Come". And honestly. I haven't felt like this in a while. Literal pride in myself after a bout of a difficult 2 1/2 months. All I can say is pic.

Fatal Fury's Duck King. But in this case, I'd like to think of that as a baby Chocobo.
