I set myself a goal of finishing Silksong before Pokemon ZA comes out. Can I do it? (probably not) But let's try anyways!!

Nonbinary streamer FaunAndGames, a tan skin femme perceived person with brown, blue, and purple hair, is wearing gaming headphones with antlers on them. Fawn is smiling and making a peace sign at the camera. Around them are Twitch stream decorations and a ton of nerdy video game and Pokemon memorabilia.

🐝💖 Really excited for this one!

It's the first hour of my Silksong playthrough! If you're a fan of Hollow Knight or you just want to see the start of the game to get an idea of the gameplay, check this one out.

My first interaction with Rob was when he wrote one of the earliest Big Bads for us at @hitpointpress.bsky.social. His work at Forbes to bring RPGs more into the mainstream media was always great. Sending out my condolences to his family. Terrible news.

John Harper @johnharper.bsky.social · 2d

Rob was a great guy and did so much to support indie games. My heart goes out to his family. He will be sorely missed.

Cam Banks 🇳🇿 ❌👑 @rustysellsword.com · 2d

I am absolutely gutted to hear of the death of Rob Wieland, literally one of the greatest tabletop reviewers and commentators we had. Tirelessly tracked industry news, omnipresent in our collective circles and communities. I am so sad for his young family. These are dark days, friends.

It's a bit meta but I'll be starting today's stream with co-working to try to fix my co-working. 😅 I've got both On-Together and Super Sweet Bot going but I have to re-test everything since the PC crash. 💜

Afterwards it's back into Silksong to try getting further in Act 2!

FaunAndGames Twitch stream for co-working. There is both Super Sweet Bot and the On-Together Demo on screen. There is also nonbinary streamer FaunAndGames' Vtuber model.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
