we did it! first clear down! on stream, too! :D I only died once on the final boss because I moved too early on something but oh well. dead boss is dead boss, dead Effie is dead Effie. :V

thanks to all who watched us get our first clear! ♥

Stone 90 boss was a pushover, we're about to head back in to 91! floor trash honestly seems more dangerous than the boss but WE'LL SEE.

very chill stream done. I got a lot of work done, and so did one of my subscribers! I love these co-working streams tbh, especially when people are chatty but can also get their own stuff done ♥

possible collab tonight if we run deep dungeons! keep an eye out!

taking an ativan and horking down some tums. if I'm not better in like 30 minutes I guess I'll know what it is by process of elimination lol

I love my cat, he makes so many delightful sounds like "mrowow" and "mrrp?" and *4am kitchen destruction noises*

ugh next time I'm able to go grocery shopping I have got to get some meat and beans. I can feel myself wasting away from a severe lack of protein and iron because I've been living off of mac & cheese and coffee.

was lucky enough to get early access for the Servant of the Lake demo from @rustylake.com as part of #SteamNextFest! I'm so excited for this game! I love all of their games (Hotel being my favorite) and Servant of the Lake feels like a perfect addition to the franchise. 🧵

Rae and I are playing some MH but who cares about the monsters LOOK AT OUR KITTIES

if you like it, be sure to wishlist the full game on Steam, which will be out in Spring 2026

store.steampowered.com/app/3636770/...

I also ABSOLUTELY implore you try out their other games! I adore Hotel, Roots, and Paradise especially but all of their games are 10/10 100% perfection.

a weird and wonderful game. the demo is short, only about 15 to 30 minutes depending on your puzzle-solving skills. even if you've never tried a Rusty Lake game I highly suggest this one!

I've got demo gameplay on my YouTube (the FIRST demo playthrough I've ever recorded! so it's awkward as hell!) if you'd like to check it out (keep in mind that if you watch it, you will know the puzzle solutions so if you're planning on playing it maybe wait till you're done): youtu.be/ExuNYu4WjCc

there is a jump scare. it might not be intended as one but I absolutely jumped a little and dropped some profanity when the hand popped out. so good job, guys.

on par with the other games, the puzzles are the perfect mix of simple and complex. some are quick to solve and others take a few to several minutes of thinking.

IT'S THE HOUSE! THAT'S IT, THAT'S HOME! the maid is VERY unsettling and I don't trust her. YOU CAN PET THE CAT!!!

the Vanderboom estate and house with a horse-drawn carriage out front and beautiful mountains in the background. on a lake behind the house you can see the hotel.

it's a beautiful 53°F outside but it's a sweltering, uncomfortable 78°F in my apartment because EVERYONE IN THIS RAT-CRUSTED BUILDING HAS THEIR HEAT ON FOR SOME REASON

and I'm not allowed to turn my A/C on anymore for the rest of the year! if I do, they'll charge me for a new HVAC unit! 👍
