Woken up because my power flickered off and on like 5 or 6 times in about 20 minutes. I think I'd be less annoyed if my oven didn't play an obnoxious little tune every time power was restored.

New season so I'm starting early today! Patch notes were a pleasant surprise (we'll talk about it) and chat about all these new skins!

Live now with #Overwatch!

I love how the running joke between Spouse and I now is that any money we save is "for Jack's butthole."

I woke up today without pain. Still the odd twinge here and there, but whatever inflammation or intestinal thing that was going on has ceased.

Very relieved because I was worried I might wind up at the ER if it got worse.

Holy shit, she actually got a tiny buff. Also, Lifeweaver's perks got buffed! I am genuinely surprised.

Gonna shower before season 19 patch notes go live.

(I will be shocked if I don't see Juno getting her major perk nerfed.)

I did go ahead and let my SIL know since she checks FB like once in a blue moon and to let my MIL know that if they see me posting suddenly, it's not me and to report it.

I really ought to delete the dang thing, but I think that'll be more of a hassle than just tightening my email security.

Trying to think if I ever had anything tied to that account. I know my old mobile phone number got removed from it years ago and the only other way is via my legal/dead name email.

I might change my email password later just to be extra cautious if I get too anxious.

lmao someone is trying to get into my old Facebook account.

I got locked out of it years ago and never tried to get back in it. I let Facebook know I didn't request the password reset. Also made sure my email isn't logged in anywhere else (it's not, plus I have 2FA on it).

Did they have a crossover with the Mary Worth comics?

Head's up for streamers: Had a weird bot that got past SeryBot tonight. The message was something about how they love the stream and want to be my number one fan and left a Discord name.

Which, if you want to be my fan, I have a Discord server. So yeah. Twitch flagged it as likely ban evader.

Jacob (He/They) 🏳️‍⚧️ @casualjacob.bsky.social · 1d

Told you I'd still be streaming late. :)

I have one last checkpoint to hit. Going to do some open queue and hope for the best at getting the fancy schmancy nameplate! #Overwatch

Stream is going to be late. Maybe closer to 8pm Eastern. Sorry, just still dealing with some physical pain.

My neighbor Judy hits it out of the park again with her Halloween yard skeletons, this year the busted “Coldplay Couple”.

I have two more checkpoints to hit and two days in which to do it. Back to the #Overwatch drives grind (after a bit of warm-up)!

I had also *just* given him some wet food, so I also thought that would be keeping him occupied.

You'd think after 15 and a half years of living with this cat I'd learn.

Jacob (He/They) 🏳️‍⚧️ @casualjacob.bsky.social · 2d

So I was snacking on some edamame and left the bowl on my desk while I went to the bathroom. Normally I don't leave food on my desk because of Jack, but I thought, "Eh, it's a vegetable. He leaves those alone."

Well today I learned my cat will eat edamame.

season of the apple cider witch 🍎🎃 @applecider.bsky.social · 2d

WITCHBANE // Sojourn

It is very obvious this cosmetic is inspired by Bloodborne so I spent quite a few weeks cobbling this set together from all of the spooky castle/Victorian city places, which is hard in Overwatch!

#overwatch #sojourn #gamephotography #virtualphotography

Overwatch 2 screenshot of Sojourn in her Witchbane cosmetic, which looks similar to the hunter outfit from Bloodborne. It is a leather suit with a tricorn-esque hat, fitted waistcoat, leather pants and boots. She's strapped with buckles and vials of fluid and has her face covered. She's standing in front of a blood moon with her left arm out.

New mic cable arrived and so far appears to be working just fine. No more headset mic for stream this evening!

It's that time of year.

The stink bugs are getting inside the house. SIGH

Almost feel bad for not needing a heating pad because Jack has been enjoying it a lot.

Jacob (He/They) 🏳️‍⚧️ @casualjacob.bsky.social · 2d

Going to cautiously say that whatever was the source of this pain I've been having is better today. Still not fully gone, but lessened.

Jacob (He/They) 🏳️‍⚧️ @casualjacob.bsky.social · 3d

OK I'm dealing with a bit of pain, but I do feel well enough to try some more #Overwatch comp drives. Mostly because it distracts me from anxiety due to said pain.

Anyway, live now!
