Hey #streamers, what is the most awkward/fiddly/absurd, unplanned thing you have had to do live on stream? Mine might be having to learn Cheat Engine live on stream to find and fix the HP value for my unit in #chaoswars, because I suddenly was in a 1 on 1 battle with a unit I never raised. I […]

Kain Highwind: "Hey, Cecil, what happened to those 3 kids who used to be with you?" Cecil Harvey: "They're not dead. N-no one was eaten or petrified, if that's what you heard." Kain Highwind: ". . ." Worst babysitter ever. #finalfantasy #ff4 #shitpost

I hate to limit myself too much, so as a #streamer my end goal will always be "variety streamer". But I think I could do #retrograming as a focus if there is enough attention. It is an excellent excuse to go back and finish many great games I have missed. A constrained set of potential stuff […]

So I have reluctantly become an early bird. Up at ~5 AM every day. I must report that it is a scam. It is pitch-black outside for hours. No one else is awake to talk to. Everything is closed. There are not even any worms! #banmornings #shitpost

My rule on #drama is that unless you immediately recognize all parties involved, you should ignore it. Definitely do not take sides or pile on. No one will remember it in a month, and unless the person at the root is super famous, it often just amounts to a ton of harassment to a random person […]

- Search "Zako No Ahiru" - No recent posts. Surely I cannot be the only one with good enough taste to like the game where an anime girl makes fun of you the entire time, fully voiced, over 100 different lines...surely. #zakonoahiru #gaming #shitpostgames #streamerbait #ragegames #brat #masocore

Soot, my cat, has been sitting behind me and staring at me using the computer for 30 minutes. She seems perfectly happy doing it. I envy how much the cats adore me; I can barely leave a room without them following me. It is a little ominous, though. #cats #cat #pets

"We only have 2 GFs" - Speedrunner at the beginning of #finalfantasy VIII Squal is so fine he downloads GFs on his PC. #shitpost #gf #where2buygf

[financial -] Bought one present this year. Feels Batman, but financial stuff. I'll have a budget and go much harder on the finances and business stuff in January. Hoping to returning to buying gifts next year.

I got #varesa in #genshinimpact Cute. #gachapulls #gachagames #mobilegaming

One of my biggest #retrogaming issues is re-releases seldom include the manual. The actual, printed, full-color manual with art, maps, diagrams. Players were expected to read the manual before playing from at least the NES era to PS2 era, and a lot of description/story is simply not in the game […]

I left out a set of #lego I haven't finished yet (the #horizon Tallneck) and Soot started trying to eat one of the pieces. Doing her best to try and encourage me to finish my projects, that's what I'll call that.

#invaderzim is a great show; I'm sad I missed it when it came out. We never had cable TV. It is aimed a lot younger than I thought, but the art style is still great. And the humor is very dark yet absurd, which is nice. I would not have been normal about this show had it come out at the right […]

I love clothes-swap art. Why did I design an #OC that can't wear clothes. Except Bow. And Shoe. #clotheswapping #stupid #fandom #OCs

The natural programmer urge to make a dedicated server of something you will never use.

I hate Word Wars, but I feel a lot less implicitly rude since swapping "fetish" with "kink". #nsfw #kink

If you want me to pay for your #streaming #tv service, it should at least not flip between 4k and 240p quality dozens of times while watching a single episode. This is about #paramountplus.

All I want is good sleep, a sense of security, giant tits, no money worries. Is that so much to ask??

Can I make my #bridgyfed account post to my normal Blue Sky account or is there some other Mastodon -> Blue Sky thing that works well? I do have some peeps on there but I am tired of 2 social media sites. I barely want one (y'all are lovely, just ...history).

What's the most polite and marketable way to say "Good weird games"? Best I have is "Experimental". Vinny Vinesauce just calls them Weird, both good and bad, but I plan a separate #ursedcontent segment for bad stuff. Stuff like Yume Nikki, Bernband, and QT. Many, but not all "walking sims." May […]

Any fun #christmas #gaming / websites / #shitposts I should check out? I have no idea what to stream tomorrow. I'm going to have a 2+ weeks ahead schedule for streaming...starting the next two weeks. 💧 The problem with being your own boss is...I am not a good boss. Yet!

Looked at some #pngtuber animation stuff, it's interesting, but I wouldn't feel comfortable editing my designer's work (which wasn't designed to be a PNGtuber) and my vtuber rigging is already in place. I might add something that makes her bounce up and down while talking and call it a day maybe?

Your princess has her Christmas decorations up and food ordered! Yes, it is already almost Christmas, and I hadn't done that. Almost Christmas means it wasn't Christmas! #almostchristmas

Would you like to give Zelda money to support her streaming? > Yes Maybe Later https://patreon.com/thezeldazone #patreon #selfpromo

Good morning, #fediverse! Anyone play any new games lately? New anime to recommend?

[trans slight mh-] Doing some "real name" updating yet again. Feeling a little pukey already, but I am hoping these are the last ones I should need. I still need: - Updated diploma from my alma mater - Updated birth cert (I foolishly thought the court order updated this) - Property/vehicle […]

Email shouldn't be for verification codes and advertisements. If you have stream suggestions, fan mail, cat pictures, or just want to chat, hit me up at hi @ zelda . zone I miss using my email to like, mail people.

Trying things you turn out not to like is good too, though if you paid money, it can be frustrating. Bad stuff can remind you of what's good about what you enjoy, and at least you got some diversity of experience. I am doing some work to remember that more myself.

Got a christmas card addressed to my new full name from my bio parents. Relationship with them is complicated, but was nice to see. #trans #transgender #queer #lgbt #christmas

Weak Aura: “Open hailing frequencies." Strong Aura: “Photon torpedoes. Full spread.” #shitpost #startrek #janewaydidnothingwrong #memes #startrekmemes

Really trying to be positive and only discuss what brings me and others joy. I want that to be a focus of my Brand relaunch and all that. ...It's just a little difficult when (gestures everywhere) but eh. I guess you don't need to hear about that stuff from a cute little spike ball anyway.

I'm going to stream M-W-F from now on but had a Bad Sleep Thing. I might stream something silly later or not at all. Maybe monday streams aren't a good idea anyway.

Real #writing tip: If you struggle writing women (or any gender, orientation, etc): Write a character as a guy then swap the name and pronouns out. You'll find there is very little difference, and only specific social situations tend to bring out any difference at all. And in a fictional […]

Ever turn around and notice your cat just kind of staring directly at you, engrossed, as if you're TV? I should be flattered, but maybe change the channel. I am just here posting and being boring. #cats #cat #pets

Huh. I'm all about nuking stuff for using Gen AI, but this just feels like the worst scenario for everyone involved. I can't fault the awards for being sticklers about it, but it hardly feels like a "win" against AI when the slop was already removed, and I can't imagine it affected the judgment […]

Alcohol is so garbage lmao. I got a big franzia box after being #thc only for most of the year for assorted reasons. Drunk is definitely the dumbest legal high and worse than some illegal ones.

Spock: *Sneezes* Dr. McCoy: "You green-eared, pointed-blooded, 🖖-ing, 3-spleens-having bastard-" #startrek #tos #shitpost

An awkward thing in the #trans space is, mostly due to dysphoria, it's pretty common to encounter other trans people yearning for what you want to abandon, and vice versa. I try to keep it positive and think of it as "I am happy they're happy" not "That's the thing that hurt me." #queer #lgbt

#cooking Baby is trying to get back into cooking/eating well and mostly just emptying out my current crop of old/junk/whatever food. Tonight is Annie's shells and white cheddar pasta with some pre-made italian meat balls. Full meal after basically just boiling water, making a double batch to […]

Only 4 days until the most important day of the year: Noelle Holiday's birthday. (probably) #deltarune #shitpost #undertale

100% Orange Juice is still free on Steam! It's a cute #anime / #boardgame combo (astral party stole its whole deal). We play it a lot in the Multiplayer channel in my Discord server, so pop in if you want to play with us or ask for tips! https://zelda.zone/discord […]

I cleaned out my mini fridge. Now that there is a cat-sized space in it, Soot rushes inside every time I open it, sits down facing me and just looks at me like "Ah yes, I was feeling a bit overheated, thank you." I'll get a picture next time. #cats #cat #sootandshine

Having watched the way US educators shunned #wikipedia, it rubs me extra wrong how quick they have been to embrace LLM/AI nonsense. A bunch of original human work—that is correct? Heck off. A bunch of plagiarized artificial crap—that is wrong? Hell yeah!! #shitpost #fuckai #stupid
