I was an awful player back in the day - think the only MW games that I wasn't a "lasers, and sometimes LRMs" player back then were on consoles - namely Mechwarrior (1993) on SNES

And yes, I do realize the irony of doing these pet projects on stream - "how do you overcome burnout while creating content?" - "I create different content."

Do I still only cover what I enjoy? yes. But I have bumped down games I was looking forward to, because I knew they were a pet project rather than something that would make sure I have groceries next month.

Making time to spend time on these pet projects is part of why I returned to streaming.

Some examples of pet project earnings? (combined earnings across LPE, Stream, and Review)

- Quartet: $17.69 (45 hours of work)
- Frameland: $2.66 (25 hours of work)
- Dungeon Siege: $20.17 (30 hours of work)

These are supplemented by the better earning series and videos.

I would love if them pushing for those razor thin margins with gerrymandering ends up turning Texas blue - not putting my money on it, but I love the idea of it.

I don't think most people realize: The vast majority of creators, even many 'full time' creators, make less than minimum wage in the US. And really, most of us would go ad free if it we weren't reliant on it to eat each month.

Every time the conversation about creator money (or complaints about ads) comes up in channel comments or discord - I have to choke back the urge to make a video talking about REAL creator earnings (too many people get enamored with what the top 0.01% of creators make)

I swear, the danger of doing parodies of Trump... is that I can't put it past him trying to implement these types of things... "Satire shouldn't be your idea board"

A little under 2 hours of gameplay: youtu.be/y1TN0u46vLI

Consumption identities usually are :( - usually better to identify by what we make/do than what we consume.

It's a timeline... though admittedly would've been easier to read as a bar graph on a timeline rather than a dot map lol

Here's my first few hours of gameplay as well if you want to see what you're in for:

Why did my brain just imagine this coming them from dumping crumb trays into the oreo cream vats...

If you want to check it out, you can find it over on Steam:

I knew it was going to get review bombed, but overall - yes I still think it's fine - also steam link since I forgot to:
