Blaugust 2026 is On the Way!

This year, it’s been a bit of a challenge to start this announcement post.

Blaugust 2026 is on the way! Won't you join us? Nothing happens by chance, you know. Not even you reading this post.

Some old sketches from about a year ago made around the game's anniversary — in fact, this month Final Fantasy IV turns 35!! Funny enough the same day (July 19th) is the Japanese release date for both FFIV and FFX 🤯 (For 10 I drew these sketches) I hope I'll have time to draw something for both games again this year 🙏

Let's tackle the topic of grouping anxiety in FFXIV!

Did you know that there are folks who are either uncomfortable or outright anxious to group for normal MSQ battle content?

This might be you. This might be someone you know.

This video is a think-piece with tips for those who want to work towards being more comfortable in group battle content. I touch on finding your cozy job - which is more important than you realize - and working on understanding and practicing your role in the group.

Amon and Cadu are hidden in this video somewhere. Can you spot them?

In Memory of Belghast, the One True Aggronaut

Last night, I learned that we lost Belghast, a truly special individual and a pillar of the gaming/MMO community.

It's with a heavy heart I say my farewells to Bel. I appreciate everything he gave to the world - it was a better place because he was here.

Note!

Wayrift is updating early this week as I will be out of town for the next week and a half. Sorry for taking another break - IRL stuff calls! The plan is to be back updating on July 15th!

Let's talk about starting in-game Roleplay!

What's scary for new and shy folks when it comes to roleplay? And how can we face these fears to give roleplay a fair shot?

Here are some tips, thoughts, and RP resources I've gathered in this video.

If you have something to add, please drop it in the comments! I've already got a great list started from viewers under the video, and it looks like it might turn into a second RP video, focused on community-offered RP tips! Won't you help?

Amon is featured in this video - can you find where I talk about him? :)

FFXIV: Top Five Things That Cause Anxiety

Social anxiety is a fear response to a specific situation you're anticipating, often triggered by past experiences or trauma.

We're revisiting what FFXIV gamers have told me are their top five sources of anxiety! Let me know how it compares for you. Look for tomorrow's video on things you can do to ease into FFXIV roleplay if you're new or shy!

It took me three separate times of trying the game out, but I finally "get" Balatro.

Or... at least, I understand the basics of why it's addicting.

If you see this, it's your sign to treat yourself to something nice today - tacos or otherwise!

A little self-care can go a long way! <3
