To any new followers: thank you & welcome! I spend my day job doing neat IT things, but please also note that I spend a lot of time here discussing video games, niche VG soundtracks, spandex-suited heroes, & karate bugmen on motorcycles, so temper your expectations accordingly.
Our static canceled raid tonight with a few people feeling sick. Instead of streaming something else though, I think I'm also gonna take the opportunity to relax (and watch last week's episode of Frieren)

Stream schedule for this week! I need a break after this past weekend's event ($15,200 raised!)... and also I hurt my back in the shower yesterday and moving is hard, so no stream tonight. Saturday's stream will be on Sunday since I'll be hanging with friends. twitch.tv/AnArrowReborn

I have joined bsky. Got some new music on the way, new posts to @ocremix.org in the queue, a first DoD entry in yonks, and some other projects maybe 👀. Will also be posting some older tracks that I never subbed or released more widely, starting with this FFVIII arrangement. youtu.be/EzIFkGUyW9U

I'm trying not to miss streams so often, keeping a dedicated schedule is important, but I'm running late tonight anyways because I need to make sure I don't miss the next Cosmic Exploration Red Alert on the moon on my home server in Final Fantasy XIV

Stream schedule for this week! Standard schedule for the most part, but Saturday's SoAL stream might need to be rescheduled or canceled, depending on exactly when some behind-the-scenes stuff I need to do this weekend for an event next weekend is gonna happen. twitch.tv/AnArrowReborn

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.
According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...
