No stream tonight, sleep schedule is still messed up and I'd just be yawning all stream again.

I thought about changing my schedule, but streaming late has had more engagement than during the day.

I am streaming tonight, but I may be dealing with some tech issues. Windows update completely wrecked my video drivers (more than usual).

I did get the generator issue fixed, so it's more butchering on the docket tonight until I get distracted.

Come hang out at twitch.tv/marxochist around 9 pm ET

Remember that Microsoft is ending regular support for Windows 10 on October 14th! Get on that ESU to get a free year of security updates if you can! You can sign up for it after that date fortunately, but better safe than oh no my Win10 machine is now an endless malware generator

Edwyn "Omahdon" Tiong @edwyntiong.com · 25d

My PC simply does not want to upgrade to Windows 11 (nor do I, honestly) but turns out my copy of Windows 10 is eligible for the Extended Security Updates programme that gives that one last gasp of a year to work out my options (probably a Win11 lappy at some point).

Nash @radiodeadair.com · 25d

If you're still running Windows 10, here are your options:

- Upgrade to Windows 11.
- Jump through the strange, esoteric hoops Microsoft has provided to give you exactly one more year of support. No one knows how to do this.
- Switch to Linux.

That's it. Pick one and leave techies alone.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

LACKADAISY - Last Call

A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!!

I mostly use this platform to let folks know when I'm streaming, but I also post to my discord and have a (fairly accurate) schedule on twitch.

So, question for everyone following me on here: is this where you go to see when I'm going to stream? Should I keep posting here? Just wondering.

I'm going to have to pause my normal stream schedule for a while. I'll stream if I have time, but I'm not comfortable committing to anything for sure at the moment.

Hopefully it'll only be a week or two. I may change my stream times to earlier in the day when I come back.

Thanks for understanding!

I've had a rough few days (to put it lightly) but I am going to stream tonight. Going to be a late start and a shorter stream.

I'm getting back to the old PZ file! B42.12 came out, so WE CAN MAKE THE BUTCHER HOOK. Many cows will die tonight.

Come hang out at twitch.tv/marxochist around 10 pm ET

It's the last day of sub% sprinter runs and I'd like to thank everyone who subbed and gifted subs last month. I think I've been jump scared more times this month than in the 11 years I've been streaming.

Probably a good time to try out the guns?

After 2 deaths last night, we might have an ok run started this time (11th time's the charm).

I've been streaming past my scheduled time a lot this month, but I'm going to reign that in for these last few sprinter streams, ending at 12 am ET.

Reminder that I am streaming tonight! I usually don't stream on Mondays!

We managed to get the technical difficulties from last night under control (OBS broke my captions, weird capture issues, lag, etc.), but we still lost a survivor.

To make up for the missed stream, I'm going to be continuing the sub% sprinter runs every night (starting at 9 pm ET, maybe earlier) through October 1st.

Build 42.12 came out, so I guess we get to see if my save files corrupted or not.

LGTBQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cis peers. In the US, up to 40% of unhoused youth identify as LGBTQ+.

That’s why this series was created - to provide support, essential tips, and resources to youth who are so often overlooked by the system.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

A tweet from Robin Light-Williams (@BlondRobin) stating the following: Hello to anyone reading this. I am Robin Light-Williams, formerly lead translator for Carpe Fulgur. I am very sorry to announce that my friend and business partner Andrew Dice, @SpaceDrakeCF, has passed away. Pursuant to that, Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations.
