It's my Birthday, and I'm finally unveiling my VTuber model! Credit to Xiaojing1 on Fiverr for the model and rigging, and Crystel (bsky.app/profile/crys...) for the new assets I'm using on stream over on www.twitch.tv/xylakvt today!
Haven't been able to stream much due to general business with school unfortunately. I only get a few short breaks at a time, so I wanted to share that I've been making some very particular MtG proxies. Behold, the first of my custom "left-handed" Magic cards! (referencing an old SLD)

I spent a bit of time this morning at an expo with my family. We live in the middle of nowhere so my mom got excited for an event to actually be happening...
If it wasn't the saddest venue. Looked like a mobile home with some signs stuck on. The "expo" was mainly like 10 vendors with random merch.

Ayo, I pulled a Fierce Guardianship out of my TLA bundle! And Flawless Maneuver. The actual packs had some good cards too, Ozai going straight into the 99 of my Azula deck. Really the only disappointment is that I didn't pull almost any of the gaang in any way, just a "Sokka, Lateral Strategist".

I caved and ordered an Avatar MtG bundle the other day. When I was trying to order, I was told it would arrive on Saturday. I figure, great that lets me open it after I get back from Thanksgiving.
Got an email, it's showing up tomorrow. My apartment is also closing for the next 2 days... Rip

My schedule really sucks right now. I've reached a critical mass of "stuff I absolutely need to do, like right now" that is large enough to stunlock me with which of the 11 urgent things I should start with

I've been in a bit of an MtG spiral lately. It's gotten to the point that I am looking at how to design a card mechanically, just because I want to build a Kobold Jund commander deck that isn't led by Prossh. They're just my favorite lil guys

The only "elective" class I can take next semester to stay on track for my degree is all about AI, which I hate.
Universities seem to be trying to adapt to AI which I understand is changing things drastically, but at the same time I feel like an Econ Master's program shouldn't be forced into it.

6 ZA streams, 6 full-odds shiny encounters.
I feel like I should do lotto scratch-offs on stream at this rate...

I've been looking into making some MTG proxies, and can't find other art of the chosen Commander, Anikthea. Which is a whole other can of worms I'm not qualified to speak about.
But what struck me was that I could pop in art of any other IP, and probably pass it as legit. It really is Fortnite...

Went to an environmental economics symposium tonight. It was actually a pretty good time, left a better impression on me than the class I previously took

I had once speculated that the age verification for nsfw content laws pushed by conservatives were possibly backed by VPN companies. I thought it might push more people towards VPNs to ignore or get around them.
But now they're going after VPNs too so it's just more psycho fascist crap I guess.

Finished RE6's Leon campaign last night on stream (and finally showed the last parts of RE5).
I get why people didn't like them, and I have my complaints for sure but they weren't bad. Solo might be a different story though. Partner AI in both games sucks

Watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for the first time last night, it was a pretty good movie overall. Though it has to be said, the real antagonist is unsafe lab practices.
Not even really from the main business guy, literally all the way down they're bad.

Oh snap, I forgot the new Critical Role campaign started airing last night! I wanted to watch it live if I could, but I guess I'll check out the VOD when I can later.
Idk how much I can keep up though. CR is good but just way too long as a show.

So far, all my programming classes (SAS and Python) have felt easy, I get high marks, and my confidence is rising.
Both my more mathematical exams (Econometrics and Math Econ) have absolutely kicked my ass. I might be cooked. I'm terrible and this is just the first set of exams. RIP.

Seems like The Witch from Mercury is getting a bit of a review bombing on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a shame, TWfM is a fantastic show, and a great entry series into Gundam. Probably happening because it's got a yuri romance at the core of it tbh.

I'm wanting to read something, but I'm struggling to find books I can sit through. My favorite books were probably The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. But ADHD and the internet broke my brain. Now most of what I read are comics, manga, and manhwa. Not even any Light Novels or anything.

Not a Kimmel fan but the fact that he's getting fired over the lightest comment, not even about Kirk but about a clip showing Trump's (standard) lack of empathy to his death, is a genuine outrage.

I'm finally playing through Hollow Knight all the way through, and I gotta say the game is amazing, even setting aside it being an indie title.
Really helps the hype around Silksong's release the other day, to the extent of crashing Steam, really sink in properly.
