Every so often I've been popping in on a Trickster Online private server that Chuggaaconroy recommended and seeing the main hub town all decorated for Christmas is quite nostalgic.
Though I'm not sure if this statue of a deceased major character being Santa-fied is festive or sacrilegious...

The best part of POPUCOM was and continues to be this stupid silly physics volleyball minigame. I would buy a standalone title of this.

Finally back to streaming this week, and it's gonna be a busy week even if I am trying not to stream too much so I can work on projects.
This week's lineup includes Radix Chronicle, Arknights RA & IS, and the big one: OSRS Sailing launch! Super excited to play that and have a boatload of fun.

Imagine having to tell these 2 cats that their video game performance went unheard by some people because of a glitch or oversight that didn't affect the other unit in the game that also has meows by default. 😾

All the chatter about the Steam Machine made me remember that my current rig is also vaguely cube-shaped :>
This ThermalTake case is way too big for the components inside of it but I very much intended it to be a long-term, future-proof investment at the time that I built it.

I must admit, when I think of 'black cat' and 'French' I'm usually thinking of @damien.zone, but that changes today. While I'll still be playing with EN dubs, Phantom/Tragodia are the first Operators to get French (or in-universe, "Gaulish") dubs, and I had to check it out. C'est magnifique.

It's official, I made it into the top prize bracket! Thank you everyone for your support!
The prizes that I'll be getting will go right back into making even more videos, and I'll be finding a spot for that Exu plushie to go into my camera background as a cute reminder of this accomplishment! 🍎🥧💖

New teaser just dropped, and I couldn't help but notice the upside down Predecessor/Sarkaz font on this frame 17 seconds in.
If I transcribed this correctly, it reads "FWKGTVRT [line break] YCNB F AN"
We might have another ARG on our hands.

Last 2 days of video contest voting and...I've gained a position??
The prize doesn't change between positions in the top 10, but no matter what happens I'm still pleasantly surprised. Life hasn't been great for me lately if I'm being honest, so this is a bright spot in an otherwise dark time.

Day 5 of Video Contest Voting Reminder.
Seeing the vote tallies in this contest has me curious about what kinds of audiences we have. Some are probably shared between channels, others might have more or less dedicated fanbases, big and small, to ask for votes from. It's interesting.

But if we assume everyone who voted for me so far voted every day, that means about 22 people have voted every day which is about 1.2% of my subscriber base.

Times are stressful and funds are thin but it still feels good to get a new @miski.bsky.social pin and coffee tin.
The bag that the whole beans came in was too big to be shipped inside the tin this time, so I went and filled my Roost jar with the beans.
As for my pincloth, +1 to the goblin side.

Daily voting for the video contest is going on for 6 more days and somehow I'm still in the Top 10 cutoff just barely so I'm going to see how well I can hold on here. >GO VOTE<
Please also appreciate this top 10 cutoff graphic I drew just now graphic design is indeed my passion

So I've made it to the voting round...
...against absolute titans in the Fan Creation category. 😱
I'll be honest, it feels surreal being lumped in with the talented works of animators, essayists, and even cooks - I'm way outclassed here in terms of raw talent and passion.

You're not doing much better either, YouTube. I don't think neutering goodwill by slamming the audience with mid-rolls will result in more revenue long-term.

Been working on some new stuff this week. I'll be doing the S stages this afternoon, plus a little bit of RA grinding for future videos. Thursday I'll continue my Radix Chronicle 2nd playthrough, and I'll be doing the usual Integrated Straterday.

Also to my Cohost mutuals: SKPORT is far from what we once had but I'm already pleased that the post character limit is 1.5k, there's a 60k character article post format available, AND there's an edit button.
Kinda flabbergasted that a gaming company somehow gets this somewhat right versus 🦋??

Gryphline making their own posting platform website (I'm hesitant to call it a social media website just yet) wasn't on my bingo card but I went and made an account there and was pleasantly surprised! My profile is all set up and I even logged into Popucom to sort out a first set of posts.

Been busy this week with some projects - Chapter 15 and The Masses Travels has thrown large wrenches in my plans for the big one I'm working on. Sorry about the schedule silence!
This Friday, I'll be entering WookieJesus's ALL IN tournament and I'll still be making it to Integrated Straterday.
