Thanks! ^_^

A small fluffy green creature with a long tail and a pair of long floppy ears is wrapped within his own very long tail, with the large fluffy tip pressing against his right cheek. He looks happy and giddy, as if he's enjoying it.

For the longest time, I'm usually the one that hugs my own tail. Well, this time, I've decided, I'm gonna let my tail to be the one that hugs me in turn. X3 Just a fun silly idea which I've decided to draw it out.

Yeah, I hope so, too. At present, Bluesky's way of handling it is a bit too cumbersome. =/ Not all of us are that willing to have to set our Live status manually.

Bluesky does have the option to put yourself in "Live" status, but I hate that I'll have to do that manually, whenever I go live. I wonder if they'll make it automatic in the future. Personally, it's more reliable to just make a post that you're livestreaming again.

Maybe I should begin posting on Bluesky whenever I'm on Twitch again. The reason being that, the day right after I've posted my last post, I did actually begin streaming again, and I fear that people might think that I still had not been streaming, due to my previous post.

I'm not sure when I can start streaming on Twitch again, but I'm hoping to be able to start streaming again soon. I mean, I've been out of streaming since needing to fast during Ramadan and such, and now I got unexpectedly busy afterwards. I should be able to begin streaming again very soon.

Alright. Today, my mother went through with her eye surgery, in order to remove the cataract from her right eye. Thankfully, the surgery went successfully without a hitch, and now she's back home and require lots of rest. I'll probably gonna be busy this week, while waiting for her recovery.

You were expecting a latest artwork from me.

But it was me, Marwan!

(Also, a Happy April Fool's Day to y'all. XD)

Also, to address the elephant in the room, yes, Sonic Rumble was originally a mobile game, so it's absolutely full of predatory monetization practices, which not even the Steam version is immune from. That's something to watch out for, if you wanna play this game for yourself.

I managed to get the latter two skins in the ring shop through sheer luck. Each happened to be in rotation in both separate times, and I quickly snatched them both.

I intend to make Sonic Rumble as my new "fallback" game, whenever I couldn't think of what else to play on Twitch.

I've been playing Sonic Rumble a lot.

1st pic - The cat skin the game gave me upon playing for the first time.

2nd pic - The wolf skin I went with while I was in a friend's Twitch stream.

3rd pic - My current rabbit skin. Interestingly, he's closest to my Sonic Forces character in appearance.

Plus, the best games are often those that went for more stylized visuals -- cel-shading, Pixar-esque character design, etc. -- which helps to make these games stand-out more. I think we've reached the point where this obsession for realism has gotten rather old now. I wanna see more stylized games.

I'm in the mindset that games don't always *have* to look realistic, in order to be fun. Why do you think that many gamers would intentionally disable so many non-essential graphic quality options? Sure, it makes the game look bland, but at least you'll gain a *massive* framerate boost out of it.

Games have gotten too realistic as of late.

I know it's silly, because that's the sentiment we've been making every year, every time there are leaps and bounds with graphics technology in games.

I'm just deeply concerned, after watching the DLSS 5 preview, and the memes that spawned from it.

A small fluffy green creature with a long tail and a pair of long floppy ears lies down on the large fluffy tip of his own tail, while listening to music on his smartphone via a pair of wireless earbuds. Music notes appear floating in mid-air around his head, while the tip of his tail can be seen wagging.

Like many smartphone users, I would listen to music with my phone a lot. Not just my MP3 collections, but also music on YouTube, as well as Internet radio like Afterhours.FM. (I'm a massive trancehead, mainly specializing in uplifting trance.)

I've been trying to find a version of "Dance of the Maidens" from Polovtsian Dances -- original orchestra version and all -- but with female singers singing lyrics from "Stranger in Paradise" over it. I know it exists -- I've heard it before. I just can't seem to find it on YouTube. >_o

I've always been into the more non-human look, being a furry myself. To be honest, I was hoping that Sega would release the NGS-spec version of the Sadeenian suit, but this Body Type-1 Dragfortis set is close enough that I'm happy with.

(I do have the wings, too. I just don't use them.)

The reason why I've been stuck with ARKS Sadeenian Suit for years is because almost none of the cosmetics that got released over the years appealed to me personally. It's frustrating because there were limited customization options you can do with the Sadeenian suit, other than adding accessories.

After years of being trapped inside my ARKS Sadeenian Suit, I'm finally able to give my player character a more unique look, all thanks to the most recent PSO2:NGS update that actually caught my attention: namely, dragon-themed cosmetics, including one that gives you a dragon head.

It's a reference to Asian cultural beliefs. Like, every time there's a lunar eclipse, it's because the dragon (or some other mythical animal) is eating the moon. They would beat the drums and/or light the firecrackers -- loud noises, basically -- to scare the dragon away.

Unfortunately, no. ^_^;; My father only mentioned that it's happening, while we were having our dinner.

Looks like the dragon is eating the moon again tonight.

I remember playing FFXIV with other players, and they happen to be speedrunners who just wanna go through the dungeon as quickly as possible, kiting enemies together and kill them all with our best AoEs.

I admit, one reason why I prefer playing with NPCs is so I do these dungeons at my own pace.

That's possible, too. Some players just wanna rush through the mission way too fast for comfort.

One player ragequitted. The entire party chose to wait until a replacement player joins the trial. This time, I made sure *really* hard to learn from my mistakes for that trial, and be the Tank. Luckily, the second attempt went through without a hitch. I got a Player Commendation for my troubles.

There's a reason why I normally don't play as a Tank in dungeons and trials in FFXIV. The amount of stress is high, as everyone expect you to carry them through the mission.

Due to my inexperience, I ended-up dying early on in a trial. And then the entire party got wiped... I felt responsible.

Thanks! ^_^

Thanks! ^_^

A picture of Marwan, a male green furry creature with a very long tail and a pair of floppy ears, playing with his long tail, with Kit, a male pink cat, sitting on top of the fluffy tip of Marwan's tail. Both Marwan and Kit look happy and smiling, as they both look at the camera behind them.

Been a while since I've drawn both of these together. Also, it's an excuse to draw myself playing with my tail again. You're always welcome to join the fun, of course~.

Quick collab between myself and @stripetailstudios.bsky.social featuring Ralf and Amber from my comics, and his dolphin characters Escort and Perrin :) He also did the colours. 👍
