We have to take the phrase "Lost Media" away from YouTubers for awhile until they reeducate themselves on what that actually means.

God, please let me get to the end of this year in one piece. And if I don’t, please don’t let me be remembered as a statistic.

Doing the voice acting recap thing before the year ends. Not a whole lot this past year but still some good opportunities.

It's that time again! Patrons, head to the VH Patreon to get early access to our annual indie tokusatsu showcase! Meanwhile, the public YouTube premiere for The Year In Indies will be on New Year's Day! youtu.be/HvoAINl5xhg?... Till then, Stand By for (Indie) Action!

I ran into my 1st grade teacher who was out with her husband for some holiday shenanigans. She remembered me instantly. I gave her the cliff notes of everything that’s happened since the last time I saw her. She gave me the biggest hug and says she’s proud of me. Felt like a million bucks.

Hope y'all don't mind me bumpin' my Ko-Fi page again. ko-fi.com/xenofauna Feelin' kinda burned out the last couple of days and trying to gather my strength up to get back to makin' more art again. But also I *really* wanna be able to put more attention on my filmmaking in the coming month(s).

Got my copy of the LUPIN III: THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO Steelbook from CR. Honestly, super bummed out as it arrived damaged. Worse, it took me 10+ mins to take it out of the slipcover. At least I have a copy of the movie finally, and the disc itself is stellar. But holy fuck, I'm getting a refund.

And this is why I worry about my livelihoods just about every day. If you actually think slop this is passable or support it, there’s the door.

I made it to Thanksgiving. And I wouldn't have made it here without you. Thanks so much to everyone who helped me survive this nightmare of a year. I literally would not be here without the kindness of my friends and allies. Hoping you and yours feel the love I am sending you right now as I type.

Hey, folks-- myself and @terebifunhouse.bsky.social found a cool old anime artifact that we don't think a lot of people have seen lately. Come join us on my twitch channel on Friday at 9:00 PM ET to check it out! twitch.tv/mike_toole 📺

So I'm finally watching the original JANUS NO KAGAMI TV drama. I have gone from simply wanting the evil grandmother to be thrown from a cliff to CLAP-PUNCTUATION SCREAMING AT THE SCREEN BECAUSE I WANT TO SHAKE THE STUPID OUT OF THESE PEOPLE.

The audience size here is also kinda nuts, the people yearn for Tokusatsu.

Watching GODZILLA MINUS ONE as a belated Godzilla Day treat. I forgot how much this scene hits close to home. There was a time where I felt that with everything I've been going through, I wasn't meant to live. Had an exact conversation like this with a close friend that helped to shake me out.

small victory of the week: the check I was waiting for came through. I was able to start building a pantry again to make sure I’m not caught dead in the water again. it’s felt like forever since I’ve been able to prepare meals for work. I’m going to work hard so I never have another gap again.

Deleted post - I got more than enough to help with groceries. thanks gang.

Folks. Take a breath. Wait for an official statement from Toei before you burst into flames and write the Sentai Series eulogies. Trust me on this one.

This is your call for questions! Reply here with your burning tokusatsu questions for me/VH and I’ll pick a few for the upcoming anniversary Q&A!

Bunch of old Metal Gear animation clips #mgs

Workspace is about 15% back to normal. Just having to work out something for the floor but in the meantime, I can do basic recording again. It feels like I’m really starting out of the rut. Also the Thunderbirds March on loop while I work helps.

Was able to get meds and I'm re-acclimating. Slowly getting better but still a mess and getting whalloped by bills. Putting the link out again: ko-fi.com/machdent Thanks to everyone who's retweeted and supported. I'm literally hanging on because of you guys right now.

UPDATE: doctor sat on paperwork for a week but it finally got sent out. But it's still taking forever to get everything approved and scared this won't happen before the supposed shutdown. physically a mess in the meantime. and will have to miss more work until this clears. please share.

ko-fi.com/machdent opening up again as I got hit with a curve ball. may have to miss work next week b/c medicaid fucked something up with my meds and denied a refill just as I'm about to run out...never mind my bills are hitting next week and I'll be cleaned out otherwise. rts appreciated. sorry.

“Dammit. I tried to buy some sliced sandwich meats but my hams and turkeys started melting the moment I touched them.” “Classic mistake. Never buy from the Salvador Deli.”

Have slowly started to put things back together from the flood salvage. One of the big things was that my folks had a three shelf setup of DVDs/BDs -- most I can't sell since Mom cut the cases into slimpacks Finally said screw it and got rid of the slimpacks. Less stuff to take back down now.

New article up! It’s called voice ACTING (aka, why the acting is more important than the voice.) voiceactingclub.com/acting

Going to save everyone the trouble. BUY THIS ONE. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. THIS ONE. BUY IT. IT'S NONSENSE BUT WILL BE BETTER THAN WTF IS COMING OUT. BUY IT.

And now, I’ve stared a rewatch of AURA BATTLER DUNBINE. Where I do this at the beginning of every episode:

Managed to treat myself a couple weeks back and pre-ordered SUPER ROBOT WARS Y. Game finally released today. I’m an hour and some change in. It’s been worth the wait with some fun surprises so far.

I’ll be at Whooverville 16 later this month alongside @stuartdouglas.com and @paulmagrs.bsky.social repping @obversebooks.co.uk ! … how did I get here.

Quick updates: - Was able to stave off disconnection of power - Basement dry; had to mop underneath my bed - No mold behind studio walls, but foundation wall crack is - Was able to get a friend to help with lawn Thanks to everyone to supported me thus far. It's slow and steady with the progress.

My buddy's basement flooded over the weekend, leaving him in a really tight spot. Please help out if you can.

Survived the storm but I'm going to have to open Ko-fi up again. Desperately need to get: - laundry baskets - bookshelf (for rescued stuff for upstairs) - groceries - my lawn fixed (haven't been able to mow in months. storms brought in bugs) RTs/support appreciated ko-fi.com/machdent

Basement flooded last night. Thankfully, it was only just about an inch and the water is drained, but we’re getting a second round later tonight. Thankfully, all my VO/streaming tech is safe and undamaged. Currently enduring the right of passage of saving all my collectibles before a disaster.

I very subtly went to G-Fest this year for one day thanks to friends. I wish I could’ve been there for the full weekend, but Saturday alone was such a whirlwind of reunions, fated meetings, and fun memories. Also, I got to meet an Ultraman. Which is always awesome.

Thanks to Ultraman Connection and Mkro, I got a nice #UltramanDay surprise! Check out this snazzy new MKRO X Infinikey THE RISE OF ULTRAMAN Keyboard and desk mat! It handles like a dream. For more info, including how you can one of these for yourself, check out their site in the replies!

Osnap, I’m on a podcast!

Oh snap, I crossed 900 followers on here! Thanks for sticking with me, folks.

Now that the first episode of MacDelta is up on YouTube, it means more people can be exposed to one of my favorite moments in the franchise -- the goddamn Immelman Shuffle Step

A vendor here at the Card Show randomly had a Time Fire helmet. Yes, I got a shameless photo with it. Why do you ask?

Completely blanked on promoting — today, 5/31, I’m at the Cedar Creek Card Show in Rothschild, WI! I’ll be signing autographs with the Jay Goede, the original voice of MewTwo! Come say hi if you can!
