THIS IS SO REAL. I thought the Robin and Lucina trailer for smash was so cool, specifically because they were these kinda gritty fantasy characters that clearly came from an established world I'd never really heard of before. I thought Robin in particular had SO much aura

Remember when Fire Emblem was cool and mysterious? Here's this fantasy game you've never heard of, with dudes who run circles on Link with sword skills, there's a billion characters, epic soundtracks; Nintendo had its own game of thrones being awesome. Now it's "we made Lyn a centaur, give us money"

Xenoblade Halloween Special is out!

This is the most personal video I've posted on here, and it's also my favorite project I've done so far. I really hope you like it!

The worst thing about transphobic comments is that they aren't original. "You're a man" and "there are only 2 genders" don't even register at this point, come up with something I'll actually remember 30 minutes later.

2025 is genuinely the craziest year of game releases there's ever been. If all you did was play 2025 video games for the rest of your life, you'd never run out of genuinely good games to play

FINALLY recorded audio for that xenoblade video today 😭😞 I can't wait to edit that and have it out in the next few days, we're at the point where the biggest barrier in working on it is no longer my chronic illness, because it's my chronic Hades and Hades 2 addiction

The clips from this video that I reposted on Tiktok made enough money for me to buy Hades 2 :)

Ty YouTube for letting me repost my own content so I could buy cute videogame ❤️

Tessa (Aegis Polycules strongest soldier) @t4ttessa.bsky.social · Sep 9

I DID IT!

My first longform video is officially out! It would mean the world to me if you'd check it out and share ❤️

I worked really hard on this, and I'm so excited to get stuff out every week for the foreseeable future

URGENT: For a gag video I want to do I need a screenshot at 420 subs AND 420k views simultaneously. I need 11 people to sub to my YouTube WITHOUT watching anything IMMEDIATELY. Literally just for this joke. Thank you in advance

XENOBLADE X BASE GAME SPOILERS:

I just noticed the parallels between Amalthus at the end of Xenoblade 2, and Lao/Luxaar at the end of X. If you view blades as people, they're almost identical in how uncomfortable they're supposed to make you. Huh, weird.

My experience is that Bumble is really bad, and tinder is okay if you just swipe right on literally everyone and humor every conversation that isn't throwing up red flags. Also, weirdly enough, you'll get a lot of conversations from Facebook dating if that's still around. Good luck!!!

Finally got told I had to verify my age on YouTube. Picked the face scan option, and it said it couldn't verify I was over 18 even after like 5 tries. Called my wife in and scanned her face, and it went through first try. I'm older than her though???

Tessa (Aegis Polycules strongest soldier) @t4ttessa.bsky.social · 19d

I just had the most exciting video idea, and its perfect for Spooky season/fall. Genuinely gonna push myself to get it AND ALSO the xenoblade Halloween video out this month, because they're both such fun subjects

Tessa (Aegis Polycules strongest soldier) @t4ttessa.bsky.social · 20d

-makes me excited and scared. I want nothing more than to have a feasible way to help support myself and my Fiancee. While my priorities for content creation haven't changed, and I'm not getting my hopes up, It would mean the world to me if I could create an opportunity like that someday 😔

Being this close to monetization is surprising to me.

My goal was and is not to make money and YouTube, and I know it's not as simple as hitting the threshold, but like...

I'd accepted years ago that my disability meant I'd never have a personal source of income again. The idea of getting to work-

Is this a safe place to admit that for YEARS I thought the first Exalt mentioned in Fire Emblem Awakening was Marth, even though that is explicitly and kind of obviously not the case. Shadow Dragon was literally my second FE game, and it still took SO long for that to click for me

Maybe like halfway done editing! Pushing through like crazy, hoping to get it up within the next few hours. The reward for finishing this video is that I get to start working on my Xenoblade Halloween special, which was genuinely the first idea I had for this channel months before I started posting

Tessa (Aegis Polycules strongest soldier) @t4ttessa.bsky.social · 22d

New Fire Emblem video comes out either tonight or tomorrow! I was trying to rush through it today, but I'm so fatigued and I think it was kinda showing in the editing that I wasn't having fun putting it together. I'm gonna give it another day and listen to an audiobook with my wife and sleep on it

Tessa (Aegis Polycules strongest soldier) @t4ttessa.bsky.social · 22d

I love this! I'm in the middle of the first Ryza game actually, but my problem is that there's so much text to read, I end up having to pause my audiobook or every few minutes 😭

Rodney Taylor was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him.

He’s been detained for more than 8 months.

They won’t allow him to get his new legs & put him in solitary confinement.

He needs the disability community’s help!

His petition just hit 3,000… keep it going!

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Does anyone have any recommendations for games I can grind while I'm zoned out? Ideally open world, with either minimal story or long gaps between dialogue. I just want to do quests in a pretty setting without reading or listening or thinking about it too hard.
