And I'm live with @civilization.2k.com finishing up my Sovereign run as the biggest dudebro in the game, Gilgamesh! I love that they gave him cat scratches all over. Just needs a little green chicken. Come join me! twitch.tv/theoperageek

At 1:30EST, join me for the final age playing Gilgamesh in #CivilizationVII!

A big part of why I don't call myself a "cozy" creator, even though I may play games in the cozy genre is that some of those those spaces seem to prioritize "comfort" in an unproductive way. My channel is comfy, and if it provides a small escape, that's great, but my existence is still political.

Things have aligned for me to make it to #PAXEast2026 and I'm on three panels, only one of which I'm moderating! None of these panel rooms are streamed unfortunately, but I will try to record the panel I'm running!

“I've been given something for a while, and the price of it is that I have to give it back.” ― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men #Discworld

“It was amazing how many friends you could make by being bad at things, provided you were bad enough to be funny.” ― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man *looks at her dice rolls* *deadpan to the audience* #Discworld

I try to make people laugh here, either with silly comments, quotes, dog pictures, or just being my weird little self. But sometimes boy do I feel like there just ain't enough cute animals or happy things to get thru the day or out of my own head Don't worry tho I'm still weird Like SO weird

Watching @vivaladirtleague.bsky.social play their new #Daggerheart campaign and we all legit just lost it at them calling an evil dryad a 'penis fly trap's I'm really glad I wasn't taking a drink at the time ....but now I want to play Daggerheart.....ohno

And I'm live! Well we chose a good day to return to world conquering, because @civilization.2k.com has brought back Gilgamesh! Come join me for a couple of hours as we take a run at the new (returning) leader! twitch.tv/theoperageek

At 1PM EST, join me for a couple of hours light world domination as I continue my ever-heavy quest of beating @civilization.2k.com with every leader! No idea what leader the roulette wheel will give me today. Won't we have FUN finding out. See you then! twitch.tv/theoperageek

I cast prestidigitation to eternally hide the bottle caps of every single person in this gym who is listening to music without earbuds in. My earbuds died the moment I walked onto the floor. I have rage.

A separate post on the job hunt which frankly is going nowhere. I've had two interviews, one of which is being generous in calling it an "intervew" when it was more like false hope bundled in a lie. All industries are struggling but on the 25th, it'll be a year of searching.

Forgot to note no stream today: it's been a rough week and I'm hoping to be back Tuesday. Sorry!

TW: health stuff humor A big problem w/ having a stick-on cardiac monitor for 7 days on my chest is this: Esme ADORES jumping directly on my chest & rubbing her face on me...causing her to almost hit the button EVERY TIME "no, doctor, I wasn't recording an event, I was shooing the cat" #Caturday

🎶shock to the heart 🎶 🎶esme’s to blame 🎶 🎶kelli’s just fine 🎶 🎶it’s the cat again 🎶

More and more I feel like my proper, universal response to each day's news roundup is just: "...but other than that, how was the play, Mrs Lincoln?" Sigh

[...]people fool themselves into believing things that aren't true. [...] They see the world in a wrong way. They won't let themselves see that what they believe is wrong. But often there is a part of the mind that DOES know, & the right words can let it out. - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

"When people say “clearly” something, that means there’s a huge crack in their argument and they know things aren’t clear at all." - Terry Pratchett, The Truth #Discworld

“After all, people seemed quite easy about having their rights and liberties taken away by those they looked up to, but somehow a space on the perch was a slap in the face, and treated as such.” ― Terry Pratchett, Snuff #Discworld ...yep.

Yeah because this country has a FANTASTIC track record with holding law enforcement officers and agencies accountable for their actions. Just saying "Hold your folks accountable!" is definitely going to make a difference.

No one responsible for the formation of these agencies (DHS, ICE, CBP) and their orders sending squads of legit domestic terrorists onto our streets and into our neighborhoods should ever be allowed to experience another moment of peace or joy on this Earth.

Aaaaaand I'm live for a bit, playing the modern era of my (hopeful) world domination as Friedrich in #CivilizationVII! Come join me! twitch.tv/theoperageek

Home from the doctor, and as promised, getting ready to go live with the final age of my #CivilizationVII game as Friedrich! Since its only one age, it will be a shorter stream, but I hope to see you in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek

ME: [begrudgingly practicing self-care because I refuse to let the world harden me]

"He thought: the worst thing about Vorbis isn't that he's evil, but that he makes good people do evil. He turns people into things like himself." - Terry Pratchett, Small Gods #Discworld (the same can be said of so many demagogues who whip up their followers with fear & hate. Hm, again.)

Over 20" of snow and ice and let us just Scotty is....NOT pleased.

And I'm live with a little snow day Civ! Camera not in the cards, because the way I'm bundled up and cozy, I ain't moving to get a face on. 😆 Come join me! #CivilizationVII twitch.tv/theoperageek
