Throwing away that damn ear camera cleaner thing I had.

Left ear was feeling a bit weird when I woke up, tried to clean it out, and now my left ear is hurting similarly to how my right ear was.

I can't use the tool, it just causes discomfort after a while. To the garbage it goes.

no u 💙

This past day I have officially learned that a great method for coming down from a high the previous night is to consume bread.

Good thing I love Grilled Cheeses...

I WANT THIS PILLOW SO BAD

Finally.

A Windows OS worth using.

I still remember when Microsoft said that 10 was going to be "the last Windows".

Oops.

Pretty much!

Like I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft were genuinely considering something similar to this, given how much they've completely lost the plot... but even I can't imagine THIS is how they would go through with it.

It would likely put them SEVERELY in the red were it to happen.

I'm likely going to need a more reputable news source as I ain't ever heard of 'Tech4Gamers' before, so I have some doubts on this.

...that being said, I wouldn't be surprised were Microsoft actually THINKING of going through with this. And yes, this WOULD make me switch to Linux.

I know some might say to 'hire an editor', but I'm not in a financially viable position to do so, and I'm morally against the idea of not being able to pay someone for their work.

I just want to get back to a state where I feel somewhat productive and not sitting on videos that are over a year old.

Serious question for content creators;

How do you manage the drive to keep producing content?

I used to be fairly productive in my earlier years of being a content creator, but in the last few years I've been struggling to sit down and put videos together, as I largely hate editing.

Whelp, PSVita was planned for the list but had to be scrapped as emulation isn't far enough yet, many of the games I had planned either don't work well or won't work at all.

And I don't own an actual PSVita sadly. :c

Up to over 460 games now.

Can you tell I'm working overtime?

You were a real inspiration!

Man I'd kill for a cybernetic spine replacement myself

I pulled my back out a few years ago and it was very much not Bwee

I wish I could give you a massage for reals-

Oh for sure!

Its why I don't do streams every day, allows myself a chance to rest and recharge.

Also will just be focusing on getting 3 events done per game, no timer this time around.

Motor MAYhem was 103 games.
Hauntingly BAD Racers was 220 games.

MIchael Jordan finally knows what it feels like as an owner to constantly win

Update;

Its now at over 420 games.

And still counting.

I usually keep all my emulators in one directory and my ROMS in another. It isn't too hard to set 'em up personally

Making a real push to get the portable racers list finished before Monday

Currently in at 320 games on the list so far... and counting.

Myrient, likely the best ROM site around with its ~390TB worth of content (almost all No-Intro, Redump, TOSEC sets, MAME software lists, Total DOS collection, DLC, patches and other useful stuff kept up-to-date and conveniently centralised in one place), will be shut down on 31 March 2026 due to the maintainer's inability to cover the rising monetary costs of running the site in the face of dwindling donations, hereby bringing us back into the era of scrambling for games in fragmented manner across dozens of websites, some stuff may even become permanently lost and not available anymore. This is like the burning of the Library of Alexandria, for the emulated games instead of books.

Had to turn off the trending box in Bluesky for the exact reason I had to force turn it off back when I used 'that other site'.

My anxiety is already as bad as at is and that was only making it worse.

Its not worth keeping it there for the sake of my own mental health.

god damnit.
god FUCKING damnit.

So admittedly a few minutes after I sent that first response I ended up having a bit of a mental breakdown, just terrified of a lot going on right now and not knowing what to really do with myself.

I'll keep the long-term content idea to mind, sounds like it'd help distract me in a positive way.

I feel this so, SO much.

I'm able to detach myself from the world when I'm with beloved friends (especially you!) and its during those moments that nothing outside of the digital world matters.

Those moments of silence are brutal. :c
All I can do is keep reminding myself that I'm trying my best.

Y'know that.. honestly would explain a lot.

I suppose when times are good, I'm able to forget about all the bullshit going on in my life, and when coming down from those highs and being reminded of the reality of matters outside of the internet and its just.. fuck, man.

I'm trying my best.
