Me in Master Duel tonight: "I don't have a deck that can avoid playing into K9, so I'm playing K9"
One of my opponents tonight: Chose to go second, making me unable to do anything other than summon Izuna and nothing else in Turn 1, then stole it with Comic Hand in Turn 2
I am dismantling K9
but yeah, eastern_miko is the current one
Only now realized I still had my old Twitch link in my bio and not my current one
Had to check because, well, I'm finally coming back to stream next week
"Now that Vanquish Soul is in the meta again, I have to activate Maxx 'C' on the draw because Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is a FIRE monster that Vanquish Soul can use to--"
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!
Screenshot of the "My Deck" screen in Yu-gi-oh Master Duel, where a deck is named "tiaraments in 2026" (displaying Tearlaments Kitkallos, Tearlaments Rulkallos, and El Shaddoll Winda)
Just updated the name of my Yu-gi-oh deck
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
