I also just don't like the 'Looking for Moots' culture around intro posts, which is why I haven't bothered making one. Interacting and posting about stuff I'm interested in (*when I'm able to do so*) is more reasonable to me than just barfing out a list and expecting everyone to take my word for it.
In lieu of an intro post for pinned, I will tack this up instead. There are many different ways to find out about me; whether you follow what I do on this particular internet outpost is up to you.

Seeing the Cygames news and hearing about Hoyo's similar efforts makes me very apprehensive about how Hypergryph and Yostar might conduct themselves in the future. Arknights has made me happy, but I am ready and willing to drop all of it if AK or EF flagrantly disrespects its own prior work.

I just realized the anniversary stream is during my usual Saturday time slot...
aaaaaauuughhhhh Arknights moots can anyone confirm whether or not it's alright to restream it? I'm probably gonna start early regardless.

There is much pain in this world, but the maimai block on AGDQ reminds me that there are, in fact, humans creating cool stuff and doing great feats with the support of their peers.
Like, I dunno man. Further posting and timeline surfing can wait. We gotta appreciate the good stuff when we can.

Y'know what, maybe I do stream on a weekday and post about it. Gonna do the little gemstone minigame in the Arknights event re-run to see if the math is mathing on a possibly better power-combo. Anything to take a break from video production for a bit.
You'll find me at the usual spot.

My internal monologue as this played out in @argick.bsky.social's run:
"Oh man what a run, great game, great commentary, this guy's a champ in my book."
[I notice the camera whiteout]
"Oh wow even his camera's whited out to match the cutscene that's a nice touch--"
[camera fades back in]
"YOOOO" 🤯

I'm not usually a morning person but I'm glad I woke up for Argick's GDQ run of Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64. This man has the commentary stamina of the gods even when debuffed with whatever got him sick over the new year, and I'm wide awake as he's absolutely crushing this childhood favorite of mine.

Pepe's event story is re-running now and it has this funny little minigame I figured out how to beat a while back. Maybe I should send a few more runs on stream this week to prove it's not a fluke?...

our greed sickens me (i say as i fire up another off-stream IS6 run for personal enjoyment)
Its really feast or famine we have technically had the longest dead period of content in the global server history with only a vignette and is6 dropping for the entire month of december. Remember when is3 dropped with texas alter event on the same day.

I should also mention: I've stopped posting when I go live on Twitch here since it doesn't really drive much traffic and I've reduced my schedule to just Saturday nights anyway. I know it's standard practice and it's not wrong or anything, but I just don't feel like spamming the airwaves, I guess.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy what I do and what I make. But this is one of those moments where the grind sets in and I wish I could repel the intrusive thoughts ragging me for being 'out of sight, out of mind' with my audience when I'm trying to balance my time with the business of life

This is why you should use the Subscriptions feed to keep up with YouTube channels. Never fully trust the algorithm.

When you have such an amazing game serving as a muse to some of the most dedicated talent, even the fan-made things manifesting content that doesn't exist gives the real deal a run for its money.
And my god the credits up in this, what a list.

Scanning the SacAnime posts today and not seeing any Arknights stuff has alleviated some FOMO, admittedly. It hasn't had much draw for me to go in recent years, but it is the closest con for me, so I do miss it a little.

My head is certainly plagued with concepts after reading the headlines today, but it is also burdened with the fact that I gleefully discovered that you can equip 4 Tamagotchi melee weapon charms to your hands and feet in Warframe if you wield sparring weapons like the (Coda) Hirudo. Enjoy.

After going to the gym near the end of last year with my fiancée I find myself playing, preferring, and appreciating Ring Fit Adventure today for one simple reason: it keeps count of my reps for me so that I don't have to clumsily count my sets while my heart is still pounding from cardio.

Trifecta update: I'm actually baffled as to how strong my Aesthetic Amaretto has kept despite being 1: Pre-ground, & 2: the oldest of the bunch. The trifecta is smooth and sweet, but the AA makes it *lucid.*
And what's wild is that I have all this mixed with ~300 mL of warm milk! It's that potent!

Started my morning by mixing the newest beans from @miski.bsky.social's Amaro label together: Sweet Vanilla x Monster Mocha. Would recommend. I hope I get to mix more this year...
I still have some Aesthetic Amaretto saved for a rainy day, and it do be raining lately. Trifecta tomorrow?
