I did take a few photos before filming my Star Trek episode. I will do more in this costume again. Not quite visible in this picture but I did have Trill spots and no they did not stop on my face. ;) I'll try to remember to share others like this, but more will go up on Patreon.
*I'm not going to,* however, it is exceedingly difficult to not give up altogether on sharing my creative work and attempting to build a niche audience. Capitalist upbringing tells me that every project I've ever done has failed, and it's hard to deprogram from that way of thinking.
Be prepared for some serious Blast Processing, as this weekend on my channel I'm featuring VectorMan 2 in full 16-bit disco glory. :) Goes live at 9pm EST on SEGA Saturday.
Spin to win, baby. That's you, a winner, if you watch my channel.

Also cute thumbnail for the lesbians out there, I know you still exist.

I hadn't planned to "quit" Twitch exactly, but I must admit that even if I wasn't physically removing the ability to stream, I will never understand that place or the culture. Like most places, I never fit in there. I'm sorry to those who subscribed to my streams, I never saw a cent of it, sadly.
As one of my fellow creators on Youtube once said, "don't tell people you're quitting." As in, no need for drama, if you're leaving a place, just leave. Well, that's I guess the story for me and Twitch. I'm finally disconnecting my home from the internet tomorrow, so that is the end of live streams.
Our future, it may very well come to a point like that in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, where there are two "Nets," one old and overrun by AI and malicious data/code, and the new one that exists in protected isolation for the human beings.
While there's still time, I think it would behoove us to create as many archives/libraries, et cetera as possible that are not connected to the internet and have not been touched by generative AI. *I would like to be wrong,* but I suspect if things continue as they are we will need those libraries.
I am an artist against AI as well, so I'm sure Youtube hates that and wants such opinions squelched.
I'm quite certain I've been algorithmically blacklisted on places like Youtube because of my anti-fascist, capitalist-questioning opinions, and also for being LGBT. I also refuse to be perpetually online. So the viewership and support I do get is appreciated. Keep circulating the tapes.
On the next collection, you think you all could maybe print more copies/extend the run? It's not like they aren't going to get sold. Every Mega Drive rerelease I get interested in from you all sells out in a blink and I'm left at the mercy of ebay scalpers, which is to say none.
Coming next on my channel over the course of October:

Retro Lunacy 2019 meets Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
The finale of my Star Trek: TNG SEGA Genesis playthrough, filmed as a lost episode of the TV show
A Shinobi: Art of Vengeance review
Themed Mega Drive music mixes
And more!
It certainly helps our videos find more of our audience, especially when our channels get algorithmically blacklisted for not being clickbait grifters.
We're on schedule this time! Retro Lunacy 2019 episode three, "Turtle Power Coloring Time," will premiere tonight at 9pm EST on my Vectrextube channel... Youtube to those of you in the bad timeline. My channel was never meant to be 100% about video games, so those of you cool with that, check it out
For those perpetually online justice warriors who like to say "I would have saved Jews during WWII," well, now's your chance, except this time you need to stand for non-white immigrants and transgender people, as in, yesterday. Ready to put your actions where your keystrokes are?
I'm back on the wagon (is that the right use of the term, who can say) with exercise and getting Chun-Li legs. How am I doing? Also yes I may have seen a certain other Street Fighter character do something with a lollipop and thought I'd give it a go. ;)
Retro Lunacy 2019 premieres this Sunday at 9pm EST.

My country is cooked, my future in this timeline is over, but I can still use my imagination to explore strange new timelines, dimensions, and what should have been, while playing old video games and making art in defiance of the genai culturerot.
