Free game idea: you play a customizable character who runs a blog reviewing bars and drinks. There's an easter egg: if you name your character Bart, the bartender will occasionally jump out and try to kill you, and you have to run or fight for your life. Inspired by this meme:

Gah, printers... I got some yellow ink today because it was out (because of course it has to print all those hidden yellow dots even though my usage is mostly B&W). I install the new genuine OEM cartridge. "Cannot Detect"

To the anonymous tipper who sent me an offline tip yesterday, thank you! I'll replay this in the next stream so you get the full tipping experience.

Schedule for this week, 2026-W17. Lots of stuff happening off stream this week, so I'm not sure I'll have time to do anything. If I don't end up streaming, watch out for a video of some sort. See the latest schedule at: www.penbuvt.ca/schedule/ #PenbuVT

Pushing stream by an hour because I need to go to the store and I won't be back in time. But the mixing stream will happen tonight!

I stock powdered milk because I rarely have milk and fresh milk would just go bad. So when I want to have a single bowl of cereal, I just add an ice cube or two to make it cold.

Have a preview:

"Only Time" is now out! As usual, all instruments were played by me. Many thanks to those who sat through the 12 hours of recording and mixing, and many apologies to Enya. Give it a listen on YouTube (downloads in the description): www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUB3... #MusicalPenbu
