I got lured in by one of those mobile game ads on Instagram due to the pretty art design. I know, I am weak, haha. Another gacha game on my list as well (Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail...) but an idle type, which I haven't played before, so it's kind of a different experience.

Things I like about it:

The art design, this is the type of look I like in my fantasy games. The characters are unique looking with a variety of different kinds instead of just super skinny women with massive melon breasts (they are there but their body proportions look more realistic). Even the npcs have a nice design to them, everything looks so whimsical.

There is sex appeal but it it isn't so in your face like other gacha games, and at least the clothing looks like clothing and isn't doing that sock boob look. The outfits are different from each other and don't have that clone as well *coughsgenshincoughs*.

We get to change the appearance of the main protagonist! Look at how good my character looks! This is what I crave from Hoyoverse games so much.

Combat seems straight forward and very easy so far, plus receiving upgrades while not playing is a nice change. Also that every character of the same class share their gear, ugh, what a life saver!

I originally played this on my mobile because I wasn't aware of it having a PC version, and although the graphics are gorgeous on PC, the mobile version does a great job at making the graphics not look bland while still performing fine.

There's not too much I dislike about the game, of course you hit those gacha walls with enemies being too strong and having to wait (that battle screenshot is a loss and from my last fight). Because it is an idle game, you do become stronger by waiting it out, so that means waiting a day or 2 to be able to progress.

The story isn't too bad, generic fantasy story that has a Disney feel to it, which I find okay, but the dialogue is what brings it down. I'm not sure if this game had voice directing, but some voices sound great while others sound flat and don't match the mood of the scene. You could always mute the voices, haha, but to people who like games being voiced, you will have a bit of a rough time with this one.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Hi tumblr! I figured I would reintroduce myself here, since I have decided tumblr is simply my favorite place to share online *still* to this day.

My name is Odera Igbokwe and I am a painter and illustrator! The main places you can find me are here, my side blog @burritobowlofthepelvis, my website, and @ oderaigbokwe on IG. I'm physically located on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations (aka known as Vancouver Canada).

Alot of my work centers the magic of the African diaspora and the Black Queer Imagination. The foundational years of my career were complimentary to Black speculative works, Afrofuturism, and Fantasy as a gateway to healing. This has since grown to explore the spirit based, ancestral work of the diaspora, and most recently I have been combining it all and trying to find that magic in the physical, daily, embodied things.

My side blog is @burritobowlofthepelvis which I am slowly but surely reorganizing. This blog is filled with reblogs for inspiration, potential reference images, more casual glimpses of my life, selfies, and outfits of the day. (Some of the reblogs are NSFW, so minors DNI there). Ultimately I am trying to use that blog as a combination journal/resource for my sketchbook.

Below are some of my favorite paintings and illustrations over the years that give an idea of the kinds of things I am exploring or have done throughout my career.

The Spirit Child. 2022. Oils on board. This painting is the centerpiece of my series of Tarot/Oracle/Afrodiasporic Divination paintings. The series is slowly but surely coming together, and once I get to the minor arcana I am excited to make some stylistic shifts that not only match the messaging but are also much faster to make.

Selections from my solo exhibition 'New Yam Festival'. These paintings are all big, juicy, vibrant, improvisational, and embody the playfulness, pleasure, and joy of the Black Queer imagination! Up until that point I was working mostly at a smaller scale (anywhere from 8x10 to 20x30 inches). So it was fun to size up to 6-8 feet for each of these!

Above are some of my favorite commercial illustrations for book covers and comics. Covers are their own particular fun design challenge, but of all the illustration assignments they can feel the most fulfilling to me.

And something classic from the archive: Odera Redesigns the cast of Sailor Moon.

I can't believe most of those were created almost 10 years ago. But that's where we are, and it feels good to still want to use this platform despite how much the world is changing.

Feel free to reblog, like, comment, or ask me any questions you have!

Some Anti-AI banners i made, anyone is free to use them, no credit necessary. Light mode and Dark mode versions.

Art and writing and people’s rights need to be protected, and AI has been used already to steal, plagiarize, and be used to threaten people using deepfakes.

As an artist and a writer, it’s an insult to my craft to see AI “works” along side mine.

Like i said, anyone is welcome to save/put these banners on their blog, or on posts, please just reblog this if you do.

Kaeya is finally C6! ^_^

I didn't have enough Starglitter in June, so I have been waiting since and bought it as soon as I could (only posting now because I had trouble finding the screenshots).

I'm not sure how active people are on here anymore, but if there are Baldur's Gate 3 fans on here, I need your help, plllllease. <3

I've already finished my first playthrough, which was in co-op, but unfortunately my co-op experience was very buggy and my character felt like a random npc that tagged along due to the companions not wanting to interact with me. That meant I wasn't able to romance anyone (except wiggly boy) and some companions bugged out and wouldn't join the party (Karlach being one), so I want to do a solo playthrough to have a "proper" playthrough.

But I'm uncertain whether to replay as my Elf Wizard or play as a Tiefling Bard. I'll probably choose bard as the class this time (in co-op my partner was a bard and it seemed more fun) but I can't decide if to copy my first Tav's look or this one I randomly created for fun.

Elf or Tiefling? Redemption playthrough for my previous character or a brand new character?

I finally caught up with Honkai Star Rail's story, which has been so good but gosh has it emotionally wrecked me. These two also being some of my favourite characters so you know how things are. But at least now I have a cute profile background with the little "ghosts".

Wow, I decided to pull on the last day of Huohuo's banner because I worked out that I would need her, and I ended up getting Yanqing (I need an ice dps since I failed to get Jingliu) and Huohuo on the next pull. I also got Guinaifen on the silver warp summons who I did want as well and failed getting on the banner she was featured on.

Go my luck for once, although now begins the long grind to level everything up for them which I'm still slowly doing on my main team members... The grind feels so much worse in this game than Genshin, ugh. The supports in from other players helps a lot but when you can't use them in story or event challenges, then I suffer, haha.
