The Man. The Myth. The Moron. Currently livestreaming an epic battle against my ever growing backlog on Twitch. As a vtuber. In his 40s. Help.

Ask about my list called "list of people who asked to be on this list".

New followers means I need to make a new intro? HMPH...

Name's Kharne, rhymes with Barn. I'm vtubing's resident grumpy backlog warrior, streaming my attempts to put a dent in my considerable gaming backlog.

I also recommend a lot of games, they're under #Kharnerecommends

Mind the puns.

There is no recipe for guaranteed success, and the "rules" for hos to grow are mostly myth.

We are not all going to make it.

Great news kiddo! Chaos reigns and you're beholden to nothing,forget what you've been told, do you.
There is no 'Community'.

The entire thing is a genre of performance, and the people pushing it as a 'Community' are often the ones trying to manipulate people and control who 'makes it' whilst letting known abusers run wild and free because it keeps them in power.

This is one of the best games of this decade, and arguably ever.
Go get it now, 5$ (it has regional pricing too!) is an insane deal for it.

Everyone? Thanks to Emotelab I've full set of static emotes on my channel now, including free ones. Have fun!

Currently in FF14:

"Hey Kharne, remember how you were wondering if Ala Mhigo was ever gonna be more than a background thing?"

...eh?

"Have fun on the wall!"

...?!

Narrator Kharne: I did not have fun on the wall.

"Hey Kharne how was Valentine's day?

Perfectly normal, I will be fielding no further questions" at this time.

I beat up a guy in a loincloth. He called himself daddy and threatened to spank me.

Yes. Really.

Ok I guess we're going down a rabbit hole now.

So if you're wondering what's popular in MUDs right now I found a site that lists some stats. iberia.jdai.pt/mudstats/mud...

I just realized while I'm pointing people at MUDs?

Ardwolf's probably one of the big names, still active, has a client and mechanically is pretty typical for how MUDs work.

For the curious, there's at least one with a client on steam. This would be the easiest way to poke at one right now. store.steampowered.com/app/616920/B...

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Everyone's wondering where they'll hang out online once Discord fully goes to shit.

I vote we move back to MUDS, partially because they're legit interesting, mostly because I'm amused nobody under 30 has a DAMN clue what I'm talking about, and will be confused when they look it up.

Man, something about facing the horrors of the alien depths really takes a lot out of ya.

And now, a Valentine's day poem:

Roses are red
The ocean is blue
It's full of horrors
That want to eat you
