I think I don't like being on social media anymore. Expect very few updates here, a lack of stream announcements, and mainly just talk about @biomech-ttrpg.bsky.social if it isn't on there. I'll check in sometimes to see what friends are up to, and my discord DMs are open if you need me/know me.
i am done being a streamer after this month. Thank you all so much for everything; there are not enough words to express my gratitude, but please know I made it through tough times from your support. I will be around making things until I pass, so keep your eyes open

I'll be here sometimes, just even less than I was already. I simply need less reason to open this cursed website.

If we're mutuals you are more than welcome to reach out and say hey!

My ability to better my future rests on a knife's edge already, and every time i open this it is a nightmare

it feels like I am looking over the cliff edge. I'd like to stop

Prolly gonna clear out my follows a bit. nothing personal, but I hate that every time i open this site it craters my mood

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

You're real cool, but I am bad at interacting with new folks unless it is just looking at them from across the internet

anyway you're still cool

This year has been one of my very worst. In its final days, I am glad to say I am rebuilding and will be on track to take care of myself eventually. It will be slow, it will be endless work, but it will be done.

Happy Holidays, I hope you all have something to look forward to

Look, Claire Obscur may be a good game and all, but I support it being stripped of all awards for using genAI. We cannot let game studios think they can get away with it.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Is this an Armored Core, Ace Combat, or an indie title that I couldn't find because of those two?

I do like the two I listed, but I am always looking for a darling indie to sweep me off my feet

I guess I have to go play unbeatable again
