Hi there, I'm the spacemantis. I'm a bug out of my spacesuit, but please don't hold it against me.

Is there a baghoul in here?!

So happy you guys like this. A model is in the works, but it'll only be one of many ways to interpret the bug going forward.

I'd specifically like to shout out this art that @starlightlime.bsky.social absolutely slammed out during the stream.

I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm for this endlessly.

I like making friends.

I know the whole egg comparison of the spacesuit is a pretty obvious component of the character, but I cannot express to you the relief of being able to express myself in ways I've felt otherwise restricted to do until now.

I feel myself moving into a new chapter. I feel myself liking myself.

A flat purple image that reads "front page stream. my birthday. twelve hours or more." On the side is a Twitch logo with overlaid text that reads "New emotes / Rat Climber world record grinding / key giveaway / who's that mantis winner / joke of the stream 2025 presentation / new design reveal and walkthrough / new model info / there is too much"

Tomorrow is the biggest stream I'll probably ever do.

Tonight I'm playing a 0 review brand new parkour game.

These experiences are very distant extremes.

Someone finally got a report through the bot that's been utterly unmoderated impersonating me on Twitter, and I'm happy to say that Ryuuga - we may not share a language - but you are my new best friend.

I even got to ask Anri to help translate a message because I don't trust machine translation!
A series of translated exchanges on Twitter. Ryuuga posts "@ellyspacemantis nice to meet you! There was a contact to me from an account pretending to be you. Since I was convinced it was fake, I reported to X and the account was suspended. The used ID ended with 1, not s. You wrote in your profile that you don't have another account. I believe your words!" This is followed by myself responding with a statement translated by AnriApricot that reads "Nice to meet you! I've been fighting that account for months. Thank you so so much!" Ryuuga responds; "It was an account that was unilaterally asking questions about the stream. You've probably been through a lot because of the impersonation. The fake account is being operated by bad people. I can't forgive bad people! If there's any movement again, I'll cooperate with you ;)"

I'm celebrating the release of a BRAND NEW Chicken Run game by not playing that (you can't make me!) and instead doing egg parkour!

Grab bag games night. Ayup? Bingo? Backlog? Playtests? Demos? HOW MANY PROMISES CAN I MAKE

An egg looks up at a massive towering parkour challenge of a hen house. The text above reads "The cracks begin to show." The text is cracked and wonky.

A screenshot of the "Rave Cave" we made in Voices of the Void, featuring an animated rainbow sign leading down into a concrete bunker. A silhouette of a denpa animatronic approaches from the foreground. Fittingly, the game logo in the top left reads "Amnesia: The Bunker."

DOES THAT COUNT AS "NONSENSE COOKING?!"

I'm still a little sick after a flu over the weekend so I'm taking it easy with Very Scary Horrifying Videogames.

I do think my mental health has been a lot better since I stopped trying to keep up with 100+ Discord servers and multiple social media feeds, but it does leave me a little isolated.

So to that end, hi! I'm gonna be better at posting open-ended statuses like this.

How are you (yes you) doing?

Thinking about the nurse in the hospital yesterday who guided me by saying "come through and take a seat" while pointing at both a seat that was not 'coming through' and a direction that was opposite of where I need to go.

I still don't know if she was just confused or this was some kind of riddle.

A hauntingly large Cofwee is at half transparency over a silhouetted image of an RV mounting a small hill. The words "HOME STRETCH" are written on the bottom and a majestic, ideal pond of water in a rocky forest are visible within the letters.

I changed my emote prefix today! It was very scary!

I must now destress by forcing you to choose;

WEIRD, YAP, OR SCARE

"The Mask" from The Mask starring Jim Carrey, with his "mask" changed to look like one of the player character masks from Verho.

I was prompted about boundaries on stream, specifically in regards to what you will/won't accept in genAI, but broadly the idea of tolerating/enjoying media that doesn't represent your worldview.

Naturally this is too large of a topic to cover in 2 minutes on a live stream, so here's my thoughts:

A fake E-Bay listing (suggested to be "e bug") featuring a picture of a scythe from the game Verho, titled "Really Cool +5 Scythe You Put All Your Upgrade Materials Into." The seller is CCool with a 50% positive rating at 12 reviews. The cost is 147 Revstones. Condition is listed as "Ancient."

Gotta get on the road pretty early in the mornin'...

Continuing to RV with Raw, Cofwee and Mino, and crawling dark dungeons later.

Long stream!

A picture with "bad box art Megaman" and original comics Iron Man edited together on a tron movie background. The text indicates this is the final episode of the Split Fiction series featuring Jake Likes Trophies. It incites the question "Will they kiss? Find out!"
