Fellow humans, if you need me, I'm going to be looking at pictures of baby otters to help contain my frustration at today's events.

Hello, fellow humans.

There will be no stream today. Also there was no stream scheduled for today. Also there was no schedule for this week. Also there is no schedule for this month. Also I am sleepy so I'm gonna take a nap. Also I had banana bread french toast this morning and it was delish. Also

idk if the issue are "screens" per se but, rather, apps and algorithms that are designed to captivate and hold user attention and foster unhealthy, compulsive engagement.

notification prompts, autoplay, etc. operate using the same principles as most games on a casino floor.

Good news: My T.I.T.S. is working again 🖖
Bad news: I the only way of typing that without it being weird is "My Twitch Integrated Throwing System is working again 🖖"

I was unsure about the 2nd map of my mod, as I couldn't think of how to make part of its gimmick work, but after sleeping on it, I think I have a good idea on how to do it.

Mapping streams will resume next month, tho, I wanna play more spooky games.

No idea why streaming this game kills performance so bad. Playing it by itself? No problem. Playing it on stream? Lag-city

The fan missions I played are great, though.

Earlier, I said I had a night's sleep so good I could crush Capitalism with the energy.

That energy has faded a bit, but I still wanna crush capitalism.

Too bad I can't do this by myself so we're just gonna play some Dark Mod instead

I was considering maybe taking a day off from streaming to rest and recover some energy. But...

Oh yeah, I should probably mention that aside from some minor issues being unable to tell a few things early on, a House of Locked Secrets is freakin' amazing. You can download it via the Dark Mod's FM downloader.

Fellow humans, are the undead and various monsters of the Dark Mod the spooky ones, or am I? After all, they're not the ones who are masters of the shadows...

The consumption and regurgitation of people's work without credit or compensation. The sheer mental toll it takes on people.

All the positive use cases don't matter if regulation isn't present and enforced. Because the damage A.I. can and does cause will outweigh it significantly.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015
