📌NEW PIN: Hey! I'm Lain! I'm an Asian/Queer/Disabled/Neurodivergent Twitch affiliate and TTRPG nerd! I stream a lot of (Hardcore) Minecraft and occasionally other cozy games, but I talk a lot about TTRPGs sometimes because I love D&D and TTRPGs in general!

If somebody that isn't a friend of mine messages me on Discord without permission or completely unprovoked, they're either a fucking cop or a scammer. There is no inbetween.

Okay yeah I don't think today is a good day to start, especially with surgery tomorrow. We'll see on Monday maybe?

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 16h

I only mention that because it's kind of a break in the middle of having just started again that Monday might be the better move but I could also just consider tomorrow a test day if I do it

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 16h

Hey gang. I'm almost done with working on the stream schedule. I MIGHT try to go live tomorrow morning around 11AM US Central Time at the latest, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I did some experimenting and setting up a bit ago and I think I can do it, but also I have surgery on Friday.

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 5d

I need to give myself some time to eat food in the morning to take my meds so we'll see

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 5d

Going to do my best to post a new stream schedule for Hardcore Minecraft and other shenanigans within the next week or so. I'm ANTICIPATING going for like, Monday to Friday, MAYBE starting around 10AM Central Time US or maybe a bit earlier, not sure yet? Will post later.

Also back down to 0 subs which is the first time this has happened in a LOOOOONG time, probably just in time for me to actually kick off again soon

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 7d

woah I'm almost below 4k followers on twitch again lmao this is awesome

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 6d

I have enough time to get back into streaming proper again, but I just don't know what starting time to set yet-

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 7d

woah I'm almost below 4k followers on twitch again lmao this is awesome

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 7d

This is just kinda the nature of things and I know I need to get over it but MAN it still sucks lol. C'est la vie.

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 7d

I don't know why I'm mad about it because it was inevitable that he was gonna fucking die no matter what when we locked in that battle plan but also like I'm mad as fuck about literally any D&D characters whose stories I never got to finish because of campaigns exploding or otherwise.

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 7d

Y'all, I had a dream about the session where I lost my first D&D character and I was like coping to fucking kingdom come and back ever since the instant that he died that I wasn't mad, but that dream pissed me off and made me realize I *have* been so mad about it.

I started thinking about this even more than usual lately. Seeing so many people talk about their experiences and them saying "I never thought it could/would happen to me until it did" and me actually being another example of that despite seeing so many people say that, and now *I'M* saying it too.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

I made my first fighter a while ago and I gave him "unarmed fighting" as a fighting style because I thought I was gonna use it. I never wound up being able to use the punch or the grapple damage and ended up asking my DM if I could switch the style when we were like more than halfway thru lvl 10 lol

I hope to fuck that this isn't some malware bullshit because the game is genuinely such a fun concept. Like. Please don't be bullshit.

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 13d

We've had the Final Sentence demo installed on our PC since the 18th, and I've noticed that even on days when we haven't opened the game that the game's Shadowplay folder's "Date Modified" gets updated pretty regularly even though we haven't opened it recently... what gives?

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 14d

Man. I need to get back into Actual Play in D&D, but I don't really want to commit a social faux pas on accident by asking anyone I know who is already involved in Actual Play if they'll take me on lmao. I've been camping out various places for MONTHS looking for good AP but AAAAH it's agonizing!

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 15d

I was first introduced to this through a video titled "Brennan Lee Mulligan politely removing his gloves" getting recommended to me not long after I started getting into D&D, and then I finally found time to watch Calamity lately. I cried so much.

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 15d

This is probably the second or third best set of stats I've rolled for D&D so far. It was for a test sheet, but damn. Rolled like an 89 total the day before I think.

Lain @lainwastaken.bsky.social · 15d

I think that Calamity is one of the only D&D series I've watched from start to finish and walked away feeling like my brain just got completely rewired. I have never seen a more perfect combination of DM + Player interaction, like holy shit. The story was insane.

Don't mind that it says 1 other game in the main menu. it's because I joined a lobby, realized the game has voice chat, and I left the lobby before turning off voice chat entirely and joining a new one for this actual match here.
