Come check out the first of my stream highlights, they're short (for me), so less time investment and more goofy shit I say without a script.

I'm glad I'm getting focused on local efforts. I wanna do what I can to bring money from outside my area to the locals so that we can help secure some basic needs.

Tomorrow is the start of Trans Awareness Week, I will be releasing my video on A Year of Springs at 5 PM EST. It is over an hour long, I believe the deepest dive into the game on Youtube and the game itself is one of the best advocacy via media that I've ever seen. It's truly beautiful.

My stream got called cozy by somebody, which I'm glad. I hate the shouting types of twats that get big on Youtube and such. And using my channel to promote transmasculine awareness, I hope to do some good with my channel over time.

Expanding access to birth control should be a public health priority.

Removing barriers to contraception improves health outcomes, reduces inequities, and makes communities stronger #ThxBirthControl

Unfortunately this is the only place I can live right now, but once I can get a place of my own I'm not dealing with these people anymore. Her age shouldn't be an excuse, by her age I was doing suicide prevention work, so having basic human empathy and understanding are not locked behind turning 18.

My first thoughts were of a small orphan boy begging for more.

Had to get high to deal with the eventual visit from roommate's sister tomorrow. Last time she was here she said transphobic shit. My father was murdered potentially for being trans so I very much am not in the mood for white trash pieces of shit to talk poorly about trans people.

Kiryu from Yakuza with "Me when alive dad" next to him as he's smiling and surrounded by glowing white light.

Gonna put out a stream highlights video today, edited it before bed last night, gonna edit together two or three more today. Being able to laugh at my own jokes and such might be a good sign that people will like the highlights.

Gonna try streaming on Saturday and see if that gets me more attention since it's the weekend, tonight only had 5 views.

Yakuza Kiwami stream starts in about 50 minutes at 9PM EST, and will go on for three hours roughly.

and I don't feel like I'm retaining information like I should be. I've played the game before but I don't think I could accurately explain the main plot to anybody, but tonight my brain fog is being more shitty than normal, so, could be also that.

1/2
Roommate is said to be working tomorrow so gonna try and stream tonight, whatever illness or weather ailment I have is kicking my ass so it might end right at midnight instead of me pushing myself an extra hour. Gonna try to stream the whole game before I give up on streaming, but it is tiring

The formatting or what's getting you?

Im presently making an autobiographical #ttrpg zine, and gyatt damn i feel so out of my depth learning about how to do this printing shit

Not dissimilar from when I write stuff. I plan out way ahead to account for issues that could potentially crop up and then just fill in the details of how it all ends up happening. My outline is functionally how you'd tell somebody a story of what happened without spending 5+ hours on details.

Working on a game again with my one roommate. I'm the writer, she's the coder and artist. It'll explore mental health issues, I am aiming for a demo to be available to drum up interest and maybe funding. Gonna outline the demo's story bits today so we can go over it before I write dialogue.

Unfortunately.

#WishMakerRPG is a (WIP) #IndieGame that's positively oozing with charm! If you missed it back in 2023 with the #Paperverse Paper Mario inspired collective demos check it out!

What a crazy #Mondealy cameo! Super excited to see what the solo dev has in store for the future!

Stream tonight maybe, the guy roommate is here despite him supposed to be working, which means he might not be working tomorrow so will be up late shouting into his mic. I'll see if I can get him drunk or high or something to make him sleep sooner.

A bloody trail you follow, indeed.

Stream went decent, got a few subs it seems. Might cut these up into smaller bits, maybe highlights, to get more viewers with shorter stuff.

Shorter for me being like, 10-15 minutes.

Take their money and do gay crimes with it.

It just takes the energy of one.

Stream starting in like 40 minutes, getting ready. Japanese single dad simulator.

A picture of a black cat with a small white crest on her chest. She has green eyes, and is looking off to the side slightly.

It's time to figure out if the me from twenty-two years ago had good taste in video games.

I'm gonna be streaming Tak and the Power of Juju in Twitch, shoot the shit with my friends, and chat with...uh. Chat.

Stream starts at 6PM CST, catch you then!

3/3
the format. I struggle to fight and read chat, and since most of Yakuza is either cutscenes (where I try not to talk) or fighting, it leaves just times I'm running around or the small side content bits where I chat back, but I do respond to every chatter.

2/3
important because despite my gradual success, I still have depression and ADD, among other issues. Weekly podcast will likely remain, since that's a way for me to talk about whatever I want, plus I plan on recording some as streams via powerpoint presentations and such that works better for

May change the way I cover games if streams do well enough. My big videos can be a bitch to make, but I don't mind writing a long ass essay. Might make a shorter video summarizing my thoughts, releasing the long essay as a patreon bonus and focus on the Streaming. Balancing my energy spending
