It's my Birthday, and I'm finally unveiling my VTuber model! Credit to Xiaojing1 on Fiverr for the model and rigging, and Crystel (bsky.app/profile/crys...) for the new assets I'm using on stream over on www.twitch.tv/xylakvt today!
Starting New Years off right with a big beautiful batch of jambalaya for dinner!

Been rewatching ATLA and just got through book 1. Yue got me tearing up, more than I thought.

Also funny to me because I am considering making a Magic deck that kills her over and over for Moons

Merry Christmas!

It's a bit rough today, one of my gifts turned out to have been stolen from the box it came in

I have no idea what has been causing my laptop to crash. I have done a full system reset and hope that fixed my issue, but I have no real way of knowing if it did since the crashes come out of nowhere and seemingly for no reason. Especially bad because I am needing it for the holidays at least.

I have made manifest my most ADHD morning.
Have an exam later so I decided to finally take my trash out this morning, put my phone down to change and forget about it, almost signed up for Google Voice to find it, then got my mom to call me and I found it in a random pocket on me. Then yap about it.

Haven't been able to stream much due to general business with school unfortunately. I only get a few short breaks at a time, so I wanted to share that I've been making some very particular MtG proxies. Behold, the first of my custom "left-handed" Magic cards! (referencing an old SLD)

I spent a bit of time this morning at an expo with my family. We live in the middle of nowhere so my mom got excited for an event to actually be happening...

If it wasn't the saddest venue. Looked like a mobile home with some signs stuck on. The "expo" was mainly like 10 vendors with random merch.

Ayo, I pulled a Fierce Guardianship out of my TLA bundle! And Flawless Maneuver. The actual packs had some good cards too, Ozai going straight into the 99 of my Azula deck. Really the only disappointment is that I didn't pull almost any of the gaang in any way, just a "Sokka, Lateral Strategist".

I caved and ordered an Avatar MtG bundle the other day. When I was trying to order, I was told it would arrive on Saturday. I figure, great that lets me open it after I get back from Thanksgiving.

Got an email, it's showing up tomorrow. My apartment is also closing for the next 2 days... Rip

My schedule really sucks right now. I've reached a critical mass of "stuff I absolutely need to do, like right now" that is large enough to stunlock me with which of the 11 urgent things I should start with
November 12, 2025 at 10:27 PM
I've been in a bit of an MtG spiral lately. It's gotten to the point that I am looking at how to design a card mechanically, just because I want to build a Kobold Jund commander deck that isn't led by Prossh. They're just my favorite lil guys

The only "elective" class I can take next semester to stay on track for my degree is all about AI, which I hate.

Universities seem to be trying to adapt to AI which I understand is changing things drastically, but at the same time I feel like an Econ Master's program shouldn't be forced into it.

6 ZA streams, 6 full-odds shiny encounters.

I feel like I should do lotto scratch-offs on stream at this rate...

Idk why I seem to get a shiny every stream but I ain't mad

I've been looking into making some MTG proxies, and can't find other art of the chosen Commander, Anikthea. Which is a whole other can of worms I'm not qualified to speak about.

But what struck me was that I could pop in art of any other IP, and probably pass it as legit. It really is Fortnite...

Went to an environmental economics symposium tonight. It was actually a pretty good time, left a better impression on me than the class I previously took

I had once speculated that the age verification for nsfw content laws pushed by conservatives were possibly backed by VPN companies. I thought it might push more people towards VPNs to ignore or get around them.

But now they're going after VPNs too so it's just more psycho fascist crap I guess.

Finished RE6's Leon campaign last night on stream (and finally showed the last parts of RE5).

I get why people didn't like them, and I have my complaints for sure but they weren't bad. Solo might be a different story though. Partner AI in both games sucks

Watched "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for the first time last night, it was a pretty good movie overall. Though it has to be said, the real antagonist is unsafe lab practices.

Not even really from the main business guy, literally all the way down they're bad.

Oh snap, I forgot the new Critical Role campaign started airing last night! I wanted to watch it live if I could, but I guess I'll check out the VOD when I can later.

Idk how much I can keep up though. CR is good but just way too long as a show.

So far, all my programming classes (SAS and Python) have felt easy, I get high marks, and my confidence is rising.

Both my more mathematical exams (Econometrics and Math Econ) have absolutely kicked my ass. I might be cooked. I'm terrible and this is just the first set of exams. RIP.

Seems like The Witch from Mercury is getting a bit of a review bombing on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a shame, TWfM is a fantastic show, and a great entry series into Gundam. Probably happening because it's got a yuri romance at the core of it tbh.
