This is a) utterly terrifying and b) vital. Don’t turn away. The crisis is fixable because it is, ultimately, political. We know the chemistry. We decline the action necessary.

That is to say, I'll still drop by regardless! I do miss out on a lot of your streams, but not because of the above reasons. I'm just a busy fella!

I hope you keep doing them. Be brave! Try to have some more energy? Personally I love the laid-back vibe you have now, but idk if Twitch/YT algo's do.

Taz @tazamo.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah...I will admit, if you do want to make your streams more engaging, you need a level of confidence that makes people want to watch your personality, in addition to the on-screen content.

Either that or be wildly horny, but that's its own can of worms.

Confidence will take time. Don't rush it!

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

City Trial is the mode where you have 5 minutes to find star vehicles(machines) and collect stat-increasing patches, to then use your powered-up machine for competition in a little mini-game or outright race once the time is up.
It's sort-of a roguelike battle royale!
Very addicting, very fun.

Taz @tazamo.bsky.social · 4d

I'd say yeah.
AirRide mode is literally just racing gameplay. Simple.
TopRide is like a top-down arcade-y racer, and it's also neat. Classic.
And City Trial, the mode everyone loves, is a blast even with just CPU opponents.

The real fun is filling out the checklist of objectives for each mode...

This is one of those logistics questions we aren't meant to ask.

Like, how does the economy work in this world? If Dungeons are just an infinite money source, how does Poké have any value??
Or how do Pokémon send rescue requests from inside dungeons??

Not that we SHOULDN'T ask them if we wanna...
