Why does Tokon look so peak man. There are like 7 characters I could realistically see myself playing, so narrowing down is gonna be a fun time. All this is to say im still waiting for Moon Knight.

One other for tonight. I'm bad but god I feel powerful despite it.

The more I see of Aion 2, the more upset I get. I wanted to play it for a week and say "that was neat, so long" but the game actually looks mad fun, and a lot of the early reservations I had about the game have been addressed looking at reviews of the more current Korean build. Bruh...

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Update, I found a character in Uni2 that brain hurty less. Still in MMO brain rn, but we may in fact be back. It is Gordaeu for those curious.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Thank god im on a FFXIV kick as of late, bc the fighting game part of my brain is hurting lately. Strive is fun, but no friends play it. Granblue refuses to update the game in a meaningful way, so I've given up caring. Sf6... Uni2 I do have friends playing, but FB games make brain hurty.

Aion Online was the first MMO I played back in 2010. It is the game my current user name is based on, and the first game I ever spent over 10 hours a session to grind. Despite being a pretty bad Korean MMO, it is a game that means a lot to me. Im very excited to play it (I expect to drop it fast).

Happy pride month to all, and to all a good gay. ...did I... did I do that right? Im still trying to figure this all out... ...what do you mean the mic is still

I’ve always seen guides on how to improve FFXIV gameplay, learn certain fights, etc which are all very valuable ofc! But I felt like no one talked about the mental aspects that go into a high level environment. A lot of times I’ve been told “it’s no big deal, just get over it!”

Going through savage to get caught up and get back into a raiding mindset has reminded me of one thing. God, I miss having a static. PF stinky.

People saying that it's actually a bad thing that Xeno got in-game banned bc of something he did on stream playing ffxiv content bc now it can happen to any of us. Guess I gotta make sure when streaming i'm not a misogynistic PoS who throws slurs around nonstop. Hard, but I'll try my best :)

Do not fucking preach to me about "not giving him attention" in response to me celebrating and making fun of a known bigot and misogynist finally facing consequences for his behaviour oh my god it's not feeding the troll if the troll just got kicked from the bridge, get some fucking perspective

So I heard the bald man got banned. Good day to all who celebrate.

WE GOT THE JOB BABY WOOOO Im gonna give myself some time to get situated into my new schedule (and bc I promised friends I would watch Eva with the alliance raid coming out) so here closer to July i'll start up streaming again. Gonna try to do variety (got some ideas already) with a FFXIV focus.

Update btw, could not get the ideal shift I wanted... yet. Union Rebidding is a long and wierd process, but by next week, there is a chance I will get the position I want, which would open three days up a week for streaming. So yeah, maybe we start it back up if that goes through.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Ok, I think it's been long enough where I can say it as I've tried for so long... I genuinely do not understand the "Zenos is our mirror" narrative. It's not even an "I hate Zenos and dont care" thing either. I genuinely dont understand how he mirrors our character. #FFXIV peeps help me understand

000

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

New schedules coming out for work that should open up more free time plus a renewed vigor for both FFXIV and Strive... ...do I dare return to streaming.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Man, I can't wait for 8.0 fight design. Seeing what the team can do without the limits of raid buffs will be very fun. Also with the middle tier of 8 mans launching, we might be opening the door to making savage more challenging overall. Anything to make combat less stale.

Between Fanfest and the latest Patch MSQ (no spoilers, dw) I have this weird feeling. Is it Hope....

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Since we are in #FFXIV Fanfest season, I feel like this needs to be said. If people hate you for story skipping... Fuck em But if you turn around and shit on the story or that the game "didn't teach you anything"... fuck you. Play the game your way, but please know what you're getting into.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I like Pombon a little too much methinks. Please keep your paws on the ground this time. PLEASE

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I've been convinced of two things... One is to finally make the jump to Hitbox. Been meaning to for a while now, and second thing gives me a good excuse. That being... Im gonna go back to Bea now that im back in granblue mode. Ilsa is mega fun but she still feels a little too honest for me.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Thursday thoughts VII & VIII: hehe oops. Brain been no good as of late, so I just fully spaced on this (which is fine bc its just supposed to be for me, but trying to build a habit and breaking that is no bueno). I'll throw some thoughts I've had, but this one is gonna be light.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Me realizing I didn't do any posting for a week and a half bc sad and sick again:

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Thursday Thoughts VI: Finally recovered from the High of Sunday and its time to get back on the train of Thursday Thoughts. I was able to post more outside of this and hopefully it continues. On with the thread of nonsense.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

I feel like I've made a horrible mistake.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Im actively hunting out multiple combo routes and setups... I might actually be cooked.

000

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Between the 2XKO news (which really sucks) and Ilsa looking neat... ill probably be getting back into Granblue methinks. Gonna play some tonight to test Ilsa out and get back in the swing of things... we'll see how the 5 month (my god) hiatus has done for my drive.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

It's late, but I gotta say it. WE WON DA SUPA BOWL BABY. THE SEAHAWKS DYNASTY STARTS NOW. Also, now that football season has ended, it's time for a real mans sport bc spring training starts in 2 weeks. Mariners to the World Series this time for sure. Picture related

021

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

I would like all fellow Seahawks to know, from the bottom of my heart: ECRA (Emerald City Route Artist) is the dumbest shit on the planet, and I hope it doesn't stick long term. He already has JSN. You dont need to add some weird acronym title on someone who does it with their name already.

000

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Thursday Thoughts V I think I may need to start posting some additional thoughts throughout the week as well, as ive been kinda just saving shit for here, and that doesn't feel right to me. So ill probs just post additional shit whenever I feel like just to get in the habit. Anyway...

100

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Thursday Thoughts IV We back baby, and slightly less sick and sad than last week (although there were some rough patches ngl) Anyway, let's continue this silly train ride that is my jumbled grab bag of dumb thoughts that appear in my brain in this moment. Wooooo

100

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Been sick since last Thursday (and mental has been taking a dive bc last thing I need rn is to be missing work), but I think im getting over it. Needless to say Thursday Thoughts III got sidetracked, so impromptu Monday Musings it is.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

I well and truly think I will never understand 6 7, and that's ok. You kids enjoy your funny number.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Thursday Thoughts II (think imma stick with it): Might as well start with weight loss. Haven't been super consistent tracking calories, but I have been going out of my way to make sure im not over eating like ive been in the past. The big thing I can say is im still trying, which is big.

100

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Me: im gonna take a break from fighting games until cait drop. Hopefully she interests me bc I need a second character that clicks. Me seeing her: >:3

000

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Thursday Thoughts I (working title, figured I'd do these once a week and Thursdays as good a day as any): No real rhyme or reason. Like any journal, it is just gonna be a "whats on my mind" grab bag of thoughts, just so I can look back on it. This is really for me, but I thought it'd be neat.

100

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Also ive kinda decided to help with the whole mental health thing, im gonna start writing out things here more often kinda just as a journal. Forces me to write more (something ive wanted to push myself to do more often) while also letting me gather my thoughts (bc after last year I need to).

120

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Hey all, it be a new year and I got a resolution. (That isnt my yearly "ill lose weight for sure haha") Weddings of family and friends done and physical health (mostly) handled, this year is time for Taera mental wellness. Step one done :)

First-time commentary was a lot of fun, but man I feel like I did a lot wrong. I'm definitely gonna try to do it more, but I have some things I need to work on.

000

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Doing my first bit of commentary tonight for a friends stream. I'm getting nervous but still excited to dip my toes into it.

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Im having such a weird character crisis in this game man. I feel like I play a more keepaway style in tag games (Moridoom in MvC, Merkava Nine in BBTAG) that im just not doing in 2XKO and im thinking maybe I should. But in grounded games, I play strike throw pressure monsters... Why brain bad.

000

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Me: when you are still learning a fighting game, you don't need a bunch of fancy combos, one to build meter and one to spend it should be enough. Me playing a tag game where one of my characters has an install that changes their specials, and needs specific routing to build install gauge: oh no...

010

Taera @taerabol.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

Made the mistake of peeping X (still have it for fighting game tech solely) to see the discourse about 2XKO pricing and hoo boy... Big mistake.
