Male focused art of a seasonal slime dragon. As well as sometimes streaming over at Twitch.
I haven't done much of a stream since the Christmas one as I'm waiting on the PC. I know I COULD stream something random still. But part of me wants to make sure I have everything setup and transferred across. I don't want to tweak more stuff in case I have to recreate everything/.

I'll test some giveaway stuff tomorrow. I think I have it setup with Nightbot as I've gone through how the command works. I'm just not really feeling doing it tonight when I have the next 2 days off work.

So I'll end up doing another chill shiny hunt stream and testing the giveaways

Surprise stream tomorrow?

Not really a surprise if I say it. But I do want to get back to some random shiny hunting on Violet and giving away shinies for the Holidays.

I usually do it through wondertrade but I could also do it as a stream thing/giveaway.

I've come to the decision I'm just going to scrap any stream stuff. It was originally going to happen because I had the motivation to try and attempt to edit with videos and shorts. Buuuut the problem with that is I don't like forcing myself to do stuff and it felt like a chore learning it all.

Still no stream. Really hate how everything goes wrong whenever I try to, or get the motivation to do so again. The "minor cold" I thought I had is likely a stomach bug because I've been struggling to hold any food in all day. Hopefully it clears up quick so I can do something during my week off.

No stream tonight. I am actually sick lol

Yesterday it was trying to brute force it on the off chance I just felt off. But there's a lot of nasal congestion and "bleh" so I'll just play ZA a bit and try to get ahead. Since it will take ages to get to the main parts of the game (and shiny charm)

Sold the capture card. Really needed the money and needed it more as I messed up a sale and wanted to refund the person to avoid any drama over it. I don't have the energy to do any streaming anyway. I can still do it with something on the PC if I do. But I can't bring myself to do it at the moment.

I'll try and come back to streaming tomorrow. I've been on and off and there's a wall stopping me from wanting to do anything. Anytime I setup the second monitor I can't be bothered to setup the mic. So I then end up watching/playing something instead as there's some mental block with going to OBS.

I really need to try and force myself to do something with a stream or even a short/video. I'm at that point where there's no motivation to do it that I want to sell stuff.

Like, I haven't used the Elgato in a bit, I only use the pro controller when docked (and I prefer handheld)
October 2, 2025 at 12:54 AM
I still need to try and do a stream or something. But there's been no motivation with seasonal stuff, still somewhat recovering from being ill (phlegm in my throat still) and no real time with work.

But maybe at some point as I don't want to do nothing until ZA comes out.
September 18, 2025 at 10:12 PM
I haven't really been around or doing anything. As I've had no energy for social interactions, not felt like doing anything in general (specific games, videos or streams) and had the cold or something. So I've just shut off from everything for the past week or two
September 13, 2025 at 10:17 PM
I'm just going to leave it until the 1st (Sept) until I go back with the stream lol

I'm busy at work for the next few weeks anyway. But I'll use this time to relax, look into what else I can do for the stream and what I can stream. As one I want to do is a weekly Animal Crossing stream day.
August 27, 2025 at 10:15 PM
How to tell I have a terrible sense of time, and easily get distracted. The last stream I did was 7 days ago and to me it feels like a couple days ago.

I guess that's what happens when I'm either busy with work, or been catching up on other games. I do need to try and stream daily even if an hour.
August 25, 2025 at 1:13 AM
I haven't posted much on here as I've just been going live with smaller streams.

But what I love the most about co-op games (Such as Lethal and PEAK) is how I get known a lot in random/public lobbies because of my voice.

People have coined me as "The Narrator" on PEAK and it's pretty great.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to post this is here as well now that he's finished. The start of the many PNGtuber forms/poses that will be done

Ended up beating the Violet Nuzlocke!

But only for now as I still plan to go through the DLC part of the game. I managed 3 extra encounters (shiny Pokemon) and lost 6 Pokemon during the run. Went a lot better then I expected considering I I limited items and level capped for the game.
August 10, 2025 at 4:05 AM
Scout master's rampage is pretty terrifying. But also hilarious to play.
July 27, 2025 at 12:03 AM
Carrying on with the Nuzlocke after the delay of yesterday. Leaving it on a "starting soon" screen while I quickly get comfy and have drinks on standby. Feel free to join if you would like ^^

So I'll have to skip tonight's stream as I have to get up early tomorrow anyway (it was going to be another short one) but I need to get up even earlier now as I have to mess around with a parcel as an item I bought wasn't described accurately and I'll be getting a refund.
July 23, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Nuzlockes hit different. This was genuinely terrifying to almost get sweeped by a Teddiursa.
July 23, 2025 at 2:02 AM
I almost *potentially* lost the Nuzlocke on the first stream lol

The level curve goes so quick for Violet with suddenly jumping the wild encounters. As well as the first gym got very lucky with the attacks and almost KO'd two of my 3 Pokemon. Hopefully the future streams go smoother.
July 23, 2025 at 1:38 AM
Around 24 hours from now I'll be starting the Violet Nuzlocke and all I can think about is how much I'm going to get my ass beaten if I do the DLCs as well lol

I'll make more posts just before it and such as I'll do a mini wait room and chill. At 12am (BST) 23rd of July I'll kick it off
July 21, 2025 at 9:34 PM
The test stream at least helped. It made me realise just how obnoxiously long the opening to Scarlet/Violet is. As well as having to resize the party images every time I get a new member on the team. But maybe there's a way to limit a specific size for that I'll work out.
July 19, 2025 at 4:01 AM
Probably going to have to scrap the last test stream until next week (as I'm busy all week)

As it feels like either a headache is coming on, or I just don't feel well. So I ain't going to push it and just have to makde do with the bits of changes I can do until then.
