Y'all have been good about mentioning it so I definitely appreciate it. Until now, there wasn't really anything I could do. If it *isn't* fixed, I'm going to have to redo my entire setup to rely on Voicemeeter or something...

Streams are difficult to get eyes on there, so it's still secondary to Twitch/a convenient way to have VODs sorted automatically, but even they're getting a bit more attention than they might. So, all in all... we're goin' up.

I'm wholly predictable. One may not see it coming, but who could be surprised?

(I also enjoyed his story, haha. I did enjoy my time with XY a lot.)

In a world poisoned by the grindset and algorithms demanding that you make more stuff and make it as quickly as possible, it's pretty scary to try to pick yourself up and get started again. I was never going to not try again, but the continued support makes it a lot less daunting.

So I know I say this a lot, but I'm really grateful for everyone who stuck around and who gives me a chance now. I spend a lot (like a *lot*) of time on my streams and videos, even if it doesn't really seem like much is going on. It's nice to know I can still reach people.

When I last streamed regularly, I felt like I was really building momentum, getting better at streaming and its associated skills, and generally hitting a stride. I liked what I was doing and where I was going. I had plans. Then health and life circumstances took me out of it for about 2.5 *years.*

I just couldn't figure it out because people kept saying it had been fixed, and I was fully updated, right? So how could it be? The update panel said it was installed *months* ago.

Winver told me the truth. 🙄

(too busy looking at him to notice typos. smh)

I also thought of streaming a session of Z-A while we're being it, and that would be orders of magnitudes worse because you can see him any time. They put him in a waistcoat and let him have a cane. His new bangs fully reveal a beautiful eyebag at all times. He's always slouching.

And. His. BRAID.
