the beginning of life on Toko Town Island with the giant rat that makes all of the rules. #tokotalk

toko gamer thing
the gamer thing. I tend to avoid calling stuff overrated (since most of the time it's just a preference thing and not for me), so that's been swapped out. I tend to avoid double dipping a game into multiple slots in these so more variety can work in. #tokotalk
Diana cards from czn
Her “blooming love” card also looks like she’s holding someone recently shrunken. Always options for art ideas later on if I get to more art of her #tokotalk
been awhile since I felt this hyper targeted with a character design vibe wise in the amount of bullets it ticks. Diana from czn for an upcoming banner. will probably sort out some art of her #tokotalk
things like twitter dms breaking more alongside there not being as much buyer protection against ghosting etc definitely made me shift more toward buying on platforms like skeb and vgen. platform wise, vgen the ideal in both updates and protection, though the selection there not as varied. #tokotalk
2025 commission summary and how many commissions I bought along with the most common characters I bought comms of.
So many sites doing those yearly wraps, so I made one for my my commission activity for 2025. not going to share things like total amount I spent or which is my favorite how many didn't deliver etc, but an overall view of what's being commissioned and how. #tokotalk
all the draw card looping deck dopamine without the guilt of it being against another player that has to sit through it all. we'll see, might just make an outfit like this for Nia Teppelin to channel this, as theres not a lot of character in the deckbuilder for long term ideas, we'll see #tokotalk
the if I had a nickel meme but its two nias. one nia is from gurren lagaan, the other is from chaos zero nightmare
over here debating about adding another nia (from Chaos Zero Nightmare) to the hyperfixation plate for fanart comms/art. not much story to work with, but her design and crazy looping draw antics without the game being pvp but a roguelike scratch my wombo combo card dopamine receptors #tokotalk
Certified known as “the Nia guy” moment when I got paid with a 2018 con exclusive Nia card for a private comm. Thank you very much @ivanmelo.bsky.social for the thoughtful offer and also for including a bunch of nice bonuses in the mail with the card mail and your nice letter #tokotalk
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBrq... medabot collab with gurren lagann....2 hyper specific older series for me getting new stuff out of the blue...watches trailer, no nia bot...how could they do this to me...will have to update my nia bot design to go with this new simon later on. #tokotalk
concept art for captain carrie from the yugioh archetype gold pride.
was talking with a friend and got reminded of carrie from the yugioh gold pride archetype. man the card game really has so many designs I love to the point where I still follow updates despite not playing the game in a decade. I would love if they did full arts like other card games. #tokotalk
Picture of part of my pin board with the newly added saeko pins.
The #saekogame pins showed up safely from buyee. Got em up on the pin board. #tokotalk
Photo of a 1/7 Tour guide from the underworld figure display on one of my shelves. Found the right hot wheels as close to her tour guide bus as possible, and got her stepping down on one of the busses for the display
Tracked down the flame bus I needed for the tour guide display. Couldn’t get the crushed bus all the way under her heel, but was able to get it pretty close make the size point. Also Kirby slept in and seems to have missed the other bus passing by , sangan missed his bus too #tokotalk
page from Lovely Sweet Dream, a dream journal that accompanied LSD Dream Emulator when it released.
Was watching a video about the dream journal that accompanied the LSD Dream Emulator game when suddenly the this very sizey entry popped up. someone definitely wants to own and toy with tiny characters #tokotalk
Really enjoy just how uplifting and hopeful the final fight theme is in eastward, it works especially well in contrast with the well done mechanical oppressive grunge of other fight themes in the game like rust or tatari too. you made it! you can do this! #tokotalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=HERl...
very sparkle core upbeat battle theme that's always felt a good fit for my characters. super bullet break is a solid if unbalanced roguelike, though its very satisfying to pull off infinite one turn combos on bosses when you get the right setups going. #tokotalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=30LY...
in a vgm thread of exposing people to new stuff, time to go to more niche choices. Sigma Harmonics, a square enix Japanese only ds game where you play the game holding the ds sideways like a book, some really standout use of strings and orchestra #tokotalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=doHM...
the synth and build ups in this area theme is such a strong arcade from back in the day vibe, a cyberpunk vibe tinted in the lens of the 90s vision of the future, really nails the atmosphere that album cover art and game trying to convey #tokotalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOye...
next challenge time! I rather enjoy the playful contemplative battle theme in Meg's Monster, it really captures both the more puzzle like nature of fights along with the balance of keeping meg safe and in good spirits while fending off foes #tokotalk youtu.be/3RuLY4u2QiI?...
the dedication of making their own language for the songs and having the singers sing in this invented hymmnos language, the hymmnos tracks in ar tonelico games have always had enduring appeal to me, nothing else quite the same mood as them #tokotalk youtu.be/nFdRhJpUKt0?...
real ninja action hours and intensity, my favorite song of the vanillaware games. one of my first experiences with submitting art online was for a muramasa art contest for wii, really kept hoping this game was going to get ported to switch to play it again #tokotalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Mt...
on the complete other side genre and mood wise, Stonefly ost has unparalleled relaxing in a trance deep in the forest surrounded by nature, just little forest critters scurrying about over giant trees #tokotalk youtu.be/Yk7EauLfTZU?...
star renegades nails that galactic sci fi gritty synth energy so well in all its music, a real highlight among sci fi game osts for me and some pretty inventive turn mechanics in the game #tokotalk youtu.be/ZyAfVtnsOpU?...
Could really pick any song of this ost mad rat dead is a blessing, but always really liked the mad dash fast pace and classical adrenaline of Emmental Catalepsy. #tokotalk www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuIQ...
nowhere prophet definitely I card game roguelike game I enjoy a good amount, and this theme absolutely nails the "perilous vibes in the desert can die anytime" atmosphere very well with good instrument choices. #tokotalk youtu.be/JtVo1Nyq16E?...
a shut down gacha alchemist code has a fair bit of songs that I still remember fondly even if I remember like none of the plot. Picking a simple theme, but its such a older school era vibe of rock guitar battle theme that always makes me nostalgic of older rpgs #tokotalk youtu.be/OxMEgPUjbW4?...
endlessly cozy fight theme, super crush ko is such my vibe. good upbeat tempo and I like getting into endless combo flurries in this cute em up game. I used to leaderboard this score wise for fun and often use this song on endless loop for working on art #tokotalk

I listen to a pretty big library of vgm, so will do this thread over time. Will be focusing on more indie /niche game picks to expose people to new stuff, though I for sure love a bunch of nintendo /sonic/ and more commonly known osts too. non size talk tag for those that want to mute #tokotalk
