Tw*tch claimed I had so many instances of copyrighted audio it stopped automatically publishing my V0Ds. I checked and there were a bunch from The Sims 4, all by the same artist. That artist has a ton of tracks excluded from stream safe mode... NONE OF WHICH are the titles that got claimed / muted!

Tonight's stream was a lot of fun! We befriended a bunny, hugged some chickens (who all need names), and got our business started. We also have new possibilities to explore for Aidan. A huge thanks to @frostyrayzablade.bsky.social for the raid! We raided @spaceartpunk.bsky.social, playing Enshrouded

Restarting the Barnhart Family in The Sims 4. Let's take what we've learned to give these sims - and chickens - the best life we can... and see what shenanigans they get up to! www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...

Time to start a big adventure, I aim to get through all of Dawntrail on stream live in 15 @ www.twitch.tv/iggymaid shares doubly appreciated here for being the start of a game that will last several weeks on the channel easily, I'll be reading aloud all unvoiced dialogue! #twitch #vtuber #FFXIV

With Valentines day just around the corner, i figured i would try to redo my heart emote, and well i dont think this quite hits what i intended at emote size but i like this little thing here. and it somewhat suits how i feel about such things. just a happy thing ya know? #pixelart #aseprite

Last night's stream was kind of a mess and I apologize for being so grumpy for so much of it. I accidentally started stream without updating the info and had to restart, then had a tech issue I'd never encountered before that, though it was solved quickly, left me more frazzled than I realized. 1/12

As someone with an overly sensitive sense of smell and allergies this seems analogous to "don't lick the science." "Don't sniff the history." Just... please. Keep museum exhibits, etc. Scents Optional.

Let's explore the Barnhearts' story after about an in-game week(?) of offline gameplay and share some fun #Sims4 moments live on #Twitch! www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Analilia Mejia for winning New Jersey 11th Congressional District's special Democratic primary to replace Mikie Sherill in Congress! Mejia is the grassroots, Bernie- and AOC-endorsed candidate and won in a narrow victory over the mainstream candidate, who conceded today.

I created a new family in The Sims 4: Joyce and Raphael Barnhart have happily lived their entire married life on the same cottage farm. She cares for the animals while he gardens. They tried to raise their 2 children in the same traditions, but Danica wants her own business and Aiden is... Macabre.

In the third part of my 8th (May 7, 2025) Baldur's Gate 3 stream, we encounter an enchanted mirror... #BaldursGate3 #BG3 #YouTube youtu.be/YHUBeRga3wc

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

I had to delete the "My Documents" folder off OneDrive (via the website) to get Steam games to stop looking there for saves and trying to save there. My Actual Documents are stored locally and I use Google Drive for backups. But... I just wanted to change a setting in the games: "Save here instead."

#BlackHistoryMonth I'm Bre Navickas. I'm a queer animation industry professional. I'm a mom, podcaster, former advocacy org leader and co-founder, and an #Indieanimation showrunner. Great to meet you and hope you enjoy my show about a teen black witch and vampires Pilot Link: youtu.be/5fXFD58D51A

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

What's better than #Dredge? Dredge with Crowd Control! At least, I hope so... Let's give this a try! #Twitch #CrowdControl www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...

GOOD NEWS!!! I poked customer service for my video editing software again and they asked for a description of exactly what I was trying to do, with screenshots. I complied and their AI bot (ugh) told me to log into my account, yada yada. I tried the email address I'd originally used to register and

This! I find animations (that I'm not actively watching) incredibly distracting and annoying. I will leave a page if I can't get them to stop. One of the first things I did on this platform was turn off auto-play on multimedia (thanks Bsky for the option!).

Black Trans Futures Month is when we envision a world where Black trans people have everything they need to flourish. This month, we’ll be featuring Black trans leaders who are not only envisioning a better future for Black trans community but are working, organizing, and fighting for it every day.

Devil's Spine was by far my least favorite area in #Dredge. I was so thrilled when I got the item from that area, I rushed back and finished the main story! There's still more to do though so don't worry, we'll be revisiting the game sometime soon. We raided @frostyrayzablade.bsky.social

I am live on #Twitch playing Dredge! Hopefully we will make it to the fourth area, I think it's called Devil's Spine? And start exploring it tonight. Who knows what we'll #Dredge up? www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...

I created my first custom transition for OBS Studio following this tutorial. I look forward to showing it off... hopefully tonight! youtu.be/frx0hCCfQjY

Speaking of Raevi, here's the second part of my 8th (May 7, 2025) Baldur's Gate 3 stream. We explore a wizard's tower in the Underdark. #YouTube #BG3 #BaldursGate3 youtu.be/NjsluWgHpUI

I was so worried my Baldur's Gate 3 saves from July would be out of date and incompatible with the current version of the game. Fortunately I was wrong! The game seems to run beautifully with the saves intact (granted I just loaded, poked around in camp a bit, and adjusted settings). We can continue

Whew! I was able to restore access to my composing software! I need to decide whether to try and re-establish links to my virtual instrument libraries (spread across multiple drives) or delete them and hopefully be able to re-download them onto one drive. But the licenses are all good, programs run!

First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

Happy #blackhistorymonth !! 💃🏾 I’m a varied artist (comics, illustration, colorist, tattoo apprentice, and budding performance artist) and would love more eyes on my work, blog, and Patreon! linktr.ee/astronym All donations appreciated and go towards life costs ko-fi.com/astronym

I also need keys I don't have to re-install The Sims 3. This is a nightmare. I reached out to EA Customer Service, guess I'll wait and see what they come back with...

The good news is last night's stream was great! I was able to stream Satisfactory on High graphics settings while recording with no problems!

First stream with my new setup. Let's make sure everything's working and see what this thing can do! #Twitch #NewPC www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...

I *think* I've restored my Steam library! And I'm on my way to rebuilding my setup in OBS Studio! I definitely need to finish my streaming room and grab the browser source for Muri (my little gold dragon companion)... Oh! Right! And audio sources! So I can control relative volumes and stuff!

First post from the new computer! Slowly putting everything back together. It's gonna be a long process and I miss what I had before (e.g. my ENTIRE Steam library!!!), but I think it will be nice to set things up the way I want them for this new system. (I still have the files, need to re-install.)

The case arrived a day early! Which means I get to rush making the backups and doing the cleaning I procrastinated (and probably would've been rushing anyway if it had arrived tomorrow)... ... tbh as excited as I am to have a new, much more powerful computer, I'm also sad to lose Windows 10 😔

Streaming Gnosia was fun for the most part... Early game was more difficult (and at times frustrating) than I remembered, spoiled as I'd become after leveling up and raising my abilities. Thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters and especially chatting with @kallistadragonsoul.bsky.social

After raiding Kallista I decided to check out Gnosia for myself and became enamored with it! I've played for about 18.5 hours according to Steam. Now I'd like to start a new game and share it with you! #Gnosia #Twitch twitch.tv/melodicbuttonmash

Fina-f*cking-lly! No more going to another site and copy-pasting some weird code. (The site is r.3v.fi/discord-time... and the code does something with the Unix epoch time, aka the number of seconds that (will) have passed since January 1, 1970 midnight GMT www.epochconverter.com)
