Excitable ball of nerdery. I variety stream as a gryphon vtuber at twitch.tv/opalinesque ! My model is self-made and I do take commissions; hit me up at vgen.co/opalinesque if you're interested.
Pinned
Hello hello! I guess I should make a pinned post- I'm Opal, a cozy variety streamer/vtuber. Mostly I play randomizers (Hollow Knight, Link's Awakening), but sometimes I play other games (love me a Zelda in general). I do swear a decent amount and make the odd NSFW joke, so be forewarned!

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

Every "end of year" list published in early December misses phenomenal albums like this one. Buy this, it absolutely whips
Seeming: The World
our 4th LP
This record was hard to make. It wriggled, bit, shapeshifted, ran away from home, yelped from bad dreams, scared off friends and family, and refused to play nice. But kicking and screaming, it is born today. Welcome to the World.

No Players Online - the full version of the viral abandoned online FPS horror game - is back on Steam. 🎉
The game was falsely removed weeks ago, just after launching, which has severely impacted the studio's survivability.
Please spread the word, and support it! ❤️

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

I love Hollow Knight, played over 1,000hrs. I'm sure I will enjoy Silksong. But the general entitlement from fans, the misunderstanding of budget ≠ faster development, and the absolutely cynical nature of the conversation over the past few years has really soured me on the whole thing. 🧵

hey so maybe "the horrors" aren't like Doctor Who's Weeping Angles. Maybe they don't slow down when you look at them. Maybe the best thing for your mental health is to occasionally put the phone down. I know, "what will the horrors do while I'm not looking?" Something awful, I'm sure. But rest.

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.
