I've been unhappy with some of my older Genshin videos for a while now, as they also became pandemic vlogs. But since I can't just redo them (due to exclusive timed content), for the time being, I'll be privating them for manual review, and making them public as I comb them over.
If there's an upside to any of this, I was able to box up a lot of still-in-date donations of stuff I can't eat anymore.

Canned soups, pastas, sauces (as well as lots of hot sauce lol), spice blends that had onions or garlic, and pre-made soup broths/cubes.

Might as well feed somebody with it.

So I might be allergic to cheese, but oddly enough, I don't seem reactive to other dairy products. I can eat ice cream, yogurt, and forms of powdered milk. But I can't seem to have any sort of cheese. So it might be something in the creation process like rennet or an additive. Or the high histamine.

Getting about 1 inch of snow every hour, so winter is officially here.

All voiced story portions for Genshin 1.0 have been restored. I'll still work on gameplay video restoration in-between when I find time, but I'm moving on to editing story portions for 2.0.

Now that the weather is cooler, I can work on restoring longer videos too, such as for HSR and ZZZ as well.

Forgot to put the updates here, but
Bayonetta,
Kingdom Hearts: BBS Final Mix,
Pokemon: Shield,
Psychonauts, and
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn Of The Dragon playthroughs are now fully back online.

I'm almost done with editing Genshin 1.0 too, it's just the remaining parts require...a lot of work.

Not sure if I'm going to stream anything specifically for Halloween this year. I've been too sick, and haven't really had the time, either.

Might play a demo or two (my PS4 storage weeps lol), but that's probably about it.

Was originally going to play Bayo 2, but it's kind of late for that now.

I’m still keeping my upcoming gastro appointment, but emotionally I’m so distraught to not only have been gaslit about my handling of reaching out for specialist scheduling, but now also have “non-compliance” permanently on my record when I’ve done nothing but attempt to move this diagnosis forward.
October 22, 2025 at 8:40 PM
Well, I’m probably going to switch PCP’s because that was a horribly invalidating experience.

“It only took this long to get you scheduled because you didn’t advocate for yourself.” I have documented, reached out, and called REGULARLY.

I think my mom was ready to go feral in my appointment.

Checking into the ER because I spontaneously fainted and fell into the bathtub this morning.

Probably low blood pressure or anemia from a *year* of all my other unaddressed (aka backlogged) symptoms.

Been trying to see a specialist for said year now, but I guess my body just couldn’t wait anymore.

A big symptom of LP/livestream burnout for me is that I can sit down, get all of the programs open, but not bring myself to go live. I'll just...stare at the title screen for like an hour (...or three) before I have to shut it all down because I no longer have enough time to accomplish the task.

I absolutely can't stand that Windows 11 treats sleep mode or an idle PC as permission to blanket update itself. My absence is not consent, Microsoft!

Not only did it mess up the data I was uploading (causing me to start over), I now potentially have the SSD killer firmware.

I want to fucking cry.

My keyboard is dying and they don't make this model anymore. I've been using this one for over a decade, so I'm *really* reluctant to change. So many boards anymore are uncomfortable, loud, distracting, or weirdly not meant for typing at length for long periods of time??

This week has been rough. Three family members had to go to the hospital (two were ER - one for a possible severe infection, another for Covid + pneumonia), renovations were scheduled the following day, and now I'm also having a really bad autoimmune flare (doing my best to also avoid the hospital).

DH: Outbreak is going to take a bit more grinding than previous games in between episodes, as so many standard enemies have either complete physical or magical resistance now.

And when each dungeon is a gauntlet that can easily wipe out half your inventory, you need to grind for that too.

Well, I'm in the cue to be able to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. Not to GET an appointment. To have a CONSULTATION about getting an appointment.

What a headache.

And it's 2 months away in October 2025. For. A. Scheduling. Phone. Call.

Harvested a good garden bounty in the rain. Probably going to bake some zucchini bread and make some marinara spaghetti squash for dinner.

Latest Windows 11 is corrupting various SSD's, so best not to update for a while, or to uninstall the update KB5063878 if you have it (and then proceed to turn off immediate auto-updates until resolved). It seems to mostly affect people downloading/transferring (creating?) large 50GB+ files.

Good news is I've been quite productive behind the scenes schedule-wise. Bad news is that none of these games are currently streamable.

Do...I take up a 4th game and mess up my schedule further? I doubt several weeks of Switch demos would really be to anyone's preference.

So good news, no cavities! 🦷🪥 I just have super sensitive enamel and I subconsciously clench my jaw when stressed (which is always these days), apparently to the point of bruising the ligaments in my jaw.

But my X-rays came back spotless, so my treatment is once again...relaxation. Lmao.
