Dragon Quest Smash/Grow is pretty addictive! The gameplay loop is terrific, especially for my long walks across campus. Been beta testing this the last couple of days and it may be my new favorite mobile game.

They always say, never bring up religion or politics. But we almost always do in my livestreams as we mine games like parables. I am so thankful for how my community is able to navigate this with such grace and care.

Yall are really special, you know that?

rather than trying to take it too seriously. I have the highest respect for people who do this for a living. I’m fortunate enough to be blessed with other means of income, which means I get to make content I love. It’s just a bonus (and a surprise) that anyone else cares. I’m really grateful.

“Some things are too important to be taken seriously.”

This is how I feel about making content/providing resources vs getting views. While I do make some money off of content, it rarely even breaks even.

Instead, I hope my videos and livestreams are always about putting something good out there—

Pray like it depends on God.
Live like it depends on you.
Somewhere in between lies the balance.

🫶 I really appreciate you saying that. I really hope my little corner of the internet can be a space for all people.

I think it is for a lot of people. For me it was the start of deconstruction, and asking deep questions. (And probably what kept me having a faith in the midst a lot of bad actors)

Tonight is going to be different than every other Lecture-Play I’ve ever done. Because I’m showing you how I ACTUALLY lecture in class while playing. Plus this is the first real session, so it’s a perfect time to join in. Come and learn something awesome!

I never know what’s going on in somebody’s heart, but if someone recants former statements, I want to believe them. I’m not really aware of all the incidents that have been cited tbh

I only like that bitmap reversed their course of action because I felt it was extreme.

Color scheme and those stars seem very Rosalina / Mario Galaxy- coded. We getting a Rosalina origin story?

At a faculty party last night, someone said to me, “You’re a Libra, so you naturally weigh every side carefully before coming to conclusions. Which is the most you thing in the world, to be honest.”
