Ugh. My creativity is at an all-time low right now and every time I get frustrated about it, I go to the gym. I SHOULD be an absolute tank by now. Unfortunately I am still a normal-sized human. I think I need to rearrange my new place so I have a better dedicated creative/studio area.

Apparently I'm a masochist because I *will* be streaming more Polyarmory on Twitch tomorrow. 😔

I haven't finished yet (and neither have my bunker buddies). There's so much pain ahead. I'd thank you but I'm really going through it after *gestures broadly at everything*.

Polyarmory is a hostile play environment and I feel personally attacked. Ten thumbs up. No, those aren't all mine. Don't worry about it.

So you just, uh, you just posted this everywhere huh? Cool, cool, cool. Listen, if anyone needs me, I'll be going into Witness Protection. To protect myself from being witnessed.

I will eventually get it done. Eventually. Right now I'm very devoted to seeing how many star stickers I can get for my pants. Because I'm the best at mail and I deserve stars.

So what I'm concluding from this is that instead of a normal name like Clifford, he should have been named Grief Dadman or Father Mourningstar or something for you to identify him more easily.

In my defense, there are a lot of fall-off-able cliffs in Death Stranding so if I'd called him Cliff it could have led to the geological conundrum of the century.

"Clifford? More like SADS Mikkelsen amirite???" —me to myself while playing Death Stranding alone in a dark room at 2am.

Me: Hey government, how long does it usually take for you to process those forms I sent?

Them: We cannot give you a timeline.

Me: Can't... but you're a government organization. Are we talking weeks, months, years...?

Them: Your forms will be processed in the order they were received.

-_-

It's almost like you worked a whole bunch of extra hours or something... 🤔

I am. I did. I'm doing it. My body just went "lol bet" and I had to deal with it. <3

So I never gave y'all a top surgery update. Remember when I said I had no complications? Joke's on me: I ended up with a severe infection. I'm on the (slow) mend now but I was flirting with sepsis for a minute there. My immune system rocks. I'll be well again soon, but ugh augh ough. ✌️

I DISAGREE. FURTHERMORE...

"Oh no, our soulless corporation has discovered that having generic buildings that are easy to repurpose is more profitable than trying to convince a bank it should have a red Pizza Hut roof! My CULTURE." I'm not on the side of corporations but goddamn. It's dire out there.

Today a friend informed me that the local porters are not other players, but generic NPCs. I have been trying to make friends with absolutely NOBODY this entire time.

Hideo Kojima, I can't believe you've done this.

4/4

Sure, everyone has blood bags, I thought, but how many people would make the effort to go get a shiny new pair of chiral boots and give them to a stranger? Maybe THIS TIME they'd want to be my friend because I gave them something really nice. 3/4

For my entire playthrough, I've been trying to make friends with them. If a local porter gave me a gift, I offered one back. They rarely took my gifts and it disappointed me, but I concluded that I needed to offer better stuff. 2/4

Doing my first playthrough of Death Stranding 1. I thought the local porters were other players on their own maps. Assumed they were anonymized and you only ever saw a few of them to give life to the game while maintaining the emptiness of the world. 1/4

At a glance I thought it was Angel Ham. I'm not sure which is worse, frankly. Godspeed.

Update: surgery went well. No signs of complications so far. Rumour has it my plants are still alive and well back home too.

Happy birthday!

Thank you. I'm hoping my plants will survive. All the person taking care of my place has to do is ignore them entirely. They thrive on neglect. 🤞

I know I rarely post to Bsky but heads-up: I'll be absent from Twitch and Discord for a while. I've got my long-awaited chest masculinisation surgery this week. Flying out tomorrow. I'll try to update once I'm in post-op recovery. Until then, stay out of trouble. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. ;)

I need another controller about as much as I need to be hit with a brick, but I am nevertheless intrigued. 👀

If you do this you're not an author; you're a lazy hack.

My policy is: Why would I bother to read something you couldn't be bothered to write? I'm tired of both the "content mill grindset" and the argument that use of generative AI is nuanced in these spaces. Utter madness that people would voluntarily hobble their own creativity. Soulless behaviour.
