It’s the morning of day five. If we can make it through this, we’ve got a few days of light duty (not really “off”, but not setting up tents or being entertaining for crowds for eight hours), so that’ll be nice.

Day three (yesterday) went pretty well, and now day four has also come and gone. The opening was great, and I look forward to another great day tomorrow! Now to pass out from exhaustion…

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Two days down (of twelve) and we’re on decor duty today! The show opens tomorrow, so it’s only a matter of time…

One night down, eleven to go. I’m going to go spend today in a field setting up tents and the like. Time to build queues like it’s Disney in the late 1950s!

I have been up for two-ish hours already, but hooray, we’re getting on the move on time!

Apparently Elgato decided not to renew its music/sound library license. Would've been nice to get an email about that, but the way I found out was getting a warning on one of my video backups over on YouTube. If you were also using music from the Elgato market, it's time to update.

Happy December 1st! It's my birthday month!! Anyway, if you haven't checked out my teaser page for my upcoming enamel pin campaign, Purrfect Post, You totally should! I'm getting closer to my next follower goal of 50!! I'd also love if you shared! 🙏🎉🐈 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

I'm now officially on tour with an IRL production for the next two weeks! As the image says, I'll most likely be back on Tuesday, December 16th, but I might take some extra rest days. If I do, I'll be back that Friday instead. Keep an eye out here or on Discord for the most up-to-date info!

The death of Flash basically killing an entire segment of independent and free game development overnight is one of those things that never really gets spoken about, which is a real shame because a lot of that first generation of Newgrounds talent did break into the animation and games industries.

Today's my last stream before going out on tour for two weeks, and I'm aiming to get a lot of the work needed to push an update for ProtoDrive done. This time I'm focused on clarity and layout edits! Join me for a co-working stream at 12pm EST over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

In case you were wondering where to send your thoughts on the AI "dub" of Banana Fish, you can do so here. Be polite--and I *mean* that--but so long as you're polite, feel free to let them know exactly how you feel about the AI "dub."

I'm now officially in the leadup to a tour, and these prep days always give me a nervous buzz. Will I remember to pack everything? Will I be able to wake up on time so we can leave on time? Why isn't the tour over already so I can settle back into my cozy family life? Truly, the big questions.

Today's the daaaaaaaaaaay! It's the fifth Saturday of the month, meaning I'm taking a break from tactics games for something else. This time I'm joined by @rekujira.bsky.social and @toksan.bsky.social for PEAK! Join us at 12pm EST over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

I should probably stop grinding levels and mogtomes long enough to progress the story, shouldn't I? What will the people of Solution 9 think when they find out that Queen Sphene is gone? Find out with me as I play more of FFXIV Dawntrail's MSQ at 12pm EST over: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

I hope everyone has a good meal today. If nothing else, eat well.

It's time for another TTRPG Tuesday! We're in the home stretch on ProtoDrive's NPCs, which means there's a chance I might bounce over to Arkenforge for some map making today. We'll see how things go! Join me at 12pm EST for TTRPG making & co-working over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

It's a brand new day, and I feel like I'm taking one tick of poison damage every few seconds! :D But I know this ache, and it's my exercise working. This is just what I get for being off the routine for a while. Gotta' keep moving for good health!

I have nothing, and will not be able to pay our Auto Insurance (For the car that could die at any moment to due lack of maintenance), Rent, or Electric bill, unless we can raise $100 before the 28th, and $600 before the 1st. ko-fi.com/farronox/goa... farronox.carrd.co #MutualAid #Helpsky 💸💕 #KoFi

If you could set aside 4 hours and 18 minutes today for my new video, that would be much appreciated.

Schedule for da week! Crab Champions on Monday (w/ @tpr1423.bsky.social & @toksan.bsky.social ), variety game demos on Wednesday, and PEAK (w/ @comeandgotavern.bsky.social and Toksan) Saturday! #vtuber #vsky #eldenwood 🔗: twitch.tv/rekujira 🎨: @bunchata.art

It's been forever since I bought clothes on Etsy, but I did this morning. Time to flip the (somehow three-sided coin) and find out if it's going to be the real thing they were covering the brand emblems of with watermarks, a reproduction, or I just never get it. Fun!

So far, we've saved two friends from the darkness of their worst instincts, and now a third has gone off the grid. Plus others we've saved along the way have begun to relapse. What's going on?! To find out, join me for Cosplay Club at 12pm EST over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

Surprising nobody, we need to help with some things in Alexandria. Hopefully that'll bring us closer to proving that compassion is a better path forward than conquering. Still want to whack Zoraal Ja, though. Join me at 12pm EST for more FFXIV Dawntrail MSQ over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

HEROES! It is time! We're 🔴LIVE🔴 now to kick off the Fix-a-Fairy Fundraiser! DAY ONE! I hope you will consider joining me and my friends to help raise money for my long-awaited gender-affirming surgery. My timeslot is just two hours - come on by and say hi! www.twitch.tv/HespersQuest

The origin of zombie fiction, like the origin of fae, is fear of a powerful amoral monster entrapping its victims into doing its will It's interesting that as corporations became exactly that all-consuming all-deceiving monster, zombies and fae lost their original themes of enslavement and contract

Getting ready to set up a display for a bunch of my Rider belts, and *of course* I have to play with each one. Gotta' make sure they still work and make cool sounds. It's the rules.

Remember that time Expedition 33 used AI and then nobody cared "because it was good"

A game I've been waiting AGES for finally came out today, and now I have to weigh whether to play it in my own time or hold off until a slot clear up in my streaming rotation...decisions, decisions...

[nsfw-ish, oc, rybine] patrons very sweetly (as usual) requested the tights trend, so here's sabine featuring ryou's reaction ;)

Time to get back to business with NPG roles. Will we make it to designing their templates or special classes today? Only time will tell! Join me for a TTRPG Tuesday co-working stream at 12pm EST over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

A big lesson of growing up around a lot of "meet me in the middle" types was learning the lesson that what they actually meant was "I'm going to talk to you in a lot of pleasant platitudes until you're worn down enough to let me do what I want." This is party+roofie rapist behavior.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

There were a bunch of new 30 Minutes Label kits announced today, and damn, Bandai continues to pre-order my money.

Sorry to repost this so often. I'm just really excited about this set!! I'm making stationary things for it too, like a postcard and notepads! I'd love to see the follower count hit 50 while I'm recovering from surgery next week, so please follow and share my teaser page! I'd really appreciate it!

I've missed several exercise sessions because I've been doing other strenuous work, so WHY AM I FEELING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF NOT EXERCISING? Seriously, why are bodies like this? I've been working hard! T_T

I'm scarfing down breakfast and barreling towards today's stream! We've got a conspiracy on our hands, so let's crack it wide open! Join me at 12pm EST for more Shadowrun: Dragonfall over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Valid & honestly a W for them Given how Disney tries to position themselves as allies/creative friendly, then immediately screws them over (a la Alex Hirsh, Dana terrace & Rebecca Sugar) I have no qualms just finding my entertainment elsewhere via other means I've got enough dvds to last years

I got up on time today, but at what cost...? Well, at least I get more time to prep for whatever we'll be facing in the new Reflection we arrived in at the end of last week's adventure. Join me for more FFXIV Dawntrail MSQ at 12pm EST over at: www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

Vet Assistance Needed - I'm putting up PWYW sketches on ko-fi once more, simple monotone sketches like in the examples posted. You can see more info and examples on my ko-fi ko-fi.com/hypnapomp more info about the situation in the next post 👇

Love being in a mood that I know is dumb, but not being able to shake it. That certainly seems healthy. At least I can acknowledge it. :/

Playing Persona 5 Royal, and I sure do love playing games for five seconds at a time. I forgot how cutscene heavy this was…
