Okay, chill lowkey birthday hangout with the imposter neighbors game. Feel free to lurk, that's the Cleo Way twitch.tv/cleolindajones

Third of all, Weekend Links will go up as usual. They're always on cleolinda.tumblr.com Sunday afternoons, and they're always (free) on my Patreon, which is basically an easy way to get them in your email. www.patreon.com/c/cleolinda

Second of all, I might try to stream today, idk. Schedule is very up in the air, family will be here later. It would be more of the imposter-neighbors game, just hanging out and getting familiar with Twitch. Also, I will turn the background rumbling down. cleolinda.tumblr.com/post/8029158...

Okay, first of all, second podcast episode is out (and we recorded two more on Friday): www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/80...

Ayyyy I managed to get on Twitch! Had an experimental struggle session to learn the ropes and played a little That's Not My Neighbor. I'll trim a bit of the struggle off and post it on YouTube later, maybe tonight. Both channel links: cleolinda.tumblr.com/post/8025726...

New podcast! @idoherty451.bsky.social and I discuss Silent Hill, game commentating, and what comes next: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwxI...

Have not been able (in terms of opportunity) to get on Twitch; no idea what this week may look like. Trying to be careful with my back, also, since it's kind of trashed from the last few days.

Weekend Links, free! Fresh clips from the next SH2R commentary I'm writing up + what happened with the Frankenstein audio notes (I recorded 45 minutes and didn't even get through the plot synopsis) www.patreon.com/posts/144227...

Weekend Links! (My throat/voice has not yet recovered so I am studying up instead. Antibiotics are helping, though.) www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/80...

UPDATE: I still don’t know necessarily what’s being said but there’s something IN this stuff like I swear my mind sentences are going crazy since reading it daily

You won't believe how much it took to get to this point, so I will say thank you to all the people involved, especially my collaborators. Finally, it is here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/spi...

Estoy INMENSAMENTE orgulloso de haber aportado una célula a ese ser vivo, deslumbrante y glorioso que es el "Frankenstein" de @realgdt.bsky.social Una hermosa experiencia trabajar a sus órdenes y a las de la increíblemente talentosa @tamdev.bsky.social (Directora de Arte). Mil gracias a los dos.

I am fluctuating in sickness towards More Sick again, which is unideal for all the talking-recording-streaming activities I was looking at. So I don't know if I'll be trying out Twitch this particular week. Gonna hang loose and see what happens.

Actually, let me give you the Patreon link for Weekend Links; it's free/public and there's something extra www.patreon.com/posts/143206...

I am now MORE sick, but here are my tumblr Weekend Links www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/79...

I am thinking about potentially testing out Twitch next week and streaming a mystery/puzzle based game (i.e., no combat for me to flail through) that I could do in a night or two. A chat could be helpful for that, and a couple of people on YouTube did ask if I stream.

I am somewhat better but maybe not talky yet. Which is unfortunate, because talking was what I had scheduled for this week.

I am sick again and deeply pissed off about it! WHEE

Yeah, this was set to "Hide" in my settings. Fuck right off with that.

Apparently Weekend Links wasn't queued yesterday! Whee! Anyway it's a weekly Best Of from my Tumblr www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/79...

I have cheerfully made Silent Hill my entire personality this year, but I am trying to make time to play some shorter games that don't have fog (probably) for y'all's sake. I have built up a decent Steam library via deep discounts, so we'll see how that goes.

Also, a commenter on my channel was so impressed that my account (just for watching stuff, though) went back to 2006 that they called me an Eldritch YouTuber, and I'm putting that in my bio immediately

I tried to play Silent Hill f and it went badly. Trypophobia warning for the death animations, but I edited some of those out. This is down from 12 minutes of me just continuously dying www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/79...

Holy shit, I'm recapping a video game! Why? I sure don't know! New video/posts about Brookhaven Hospital and the [checks notes] "Flesh Lip" (listen, I fight it really good this time) www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/77...

Look! It's a story I recorded 20 years ago, but I read it again because now I'm the main character's age! www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/79...

Oh hey it's a story that ends with a terrible pun! I swear I wasn't planning on that! www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/79...

Okay, I was running myself so ragged yesterday to finish all this that I didn't say, "Hey, here's what I did for Halloween!" OH LOOK IT'S STORY READINGS (my own work until I find other things that work with my accent/gender) www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/79...

The really wild thing about OBS is that I have had SO many people help me with it, and honestly, the same fix has never worked twice. It's always been something new and different that was wrong. I'm like a raptor testing the fence at this point

I am desperately trying to get OBS to stop hating me, again. (Jumpy recordings.) In the meantime, here is Silent Hill 2 commentary #7. cleolinda.tumblr.com/post/7770162...

Hello. I return, after a fresh bout of covid in August. Here's yesterday's Weekend Links cleolinda.tumblr.com/post/7934264...

As a Magnus Archives update, I am taking a break near the end of season three to go back and listen from the beginning, using Rusty Quill's themed playlists for a different perspective. I'm not retaining details going this fast, also because I'm not an aural learner. www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/78...

I do seen to have some weird magic power--I watched Twin Peaks for the first time, and 24 hours later, David Lynch announced the third season (25ish years' gap). I played Silent Hill 2, and they've announced the remake was successful enough to do SH1 (25ish years).

Back over on Silent Hill 2, video/writeup 6 is up; we finally get past my personal time loop to Brookhaven Hospital. www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/77...

Anyway, as part of my Actually Entertaining the Entertainment Like I Kept Meaning To initiative, I'm now 90 episodes into The Magnus Archives. Michael Crew is explaining his lightning scar--oh. He is not explaining it anymore.

Yeah, I had some side effects from that last pain block. A lot of fatigue, some numbness in my foot, time no longer having meaning

Oh by the way, there's a huge Steam sale on. I'm gonna get Gone Home, Inside, and some Rusty Lake because I can't walk past Under $5. I may get on Tumblr and run a poll like, "Here are the shortest games I have, which one first?" But I STILL need to start Dragon Age: Inquisition.

I Am Trying To Record A Commentary And Everyone Is Mowing

I'm two days out from the steroid epidural; I lived

It's our Monday afternoon brain bleach. This week, Pallas cats. They look like what would happen if a muppet were forced to try to fabricate an animatronic animal based on a cat they saw one time. I feel like that's underselling it.

I don't know if the pain clinic only does procedures on Wednesday or what, but they ALWAYS schedule me on Ian's stream nights and the FOMO is brutal. Anyway, he said hi to my good buddy last week: youtu.be/_hTrJiVJDjA

Anyway, that's why I may not be in @idoherty451.bsky.social 's Twitch chat tonight, or if I am, I might should be muted for my own good. The anesthesia is the biggest issue with these things. But this is one of my FAVORITE AREAS in Silent Hill 2 and I'm so mad.

Here's what's going on with my quarterly spinal procedure (it's fine, I'm on my feet by the time I get home). www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/78...

Hey! Tonight at 7PM, my band Mosaic Mind is trying out streaming a performance via our Twitch channel, twitch.tv/mosaicmindband. Hop in & let us know how it looks/sounds! Hoping to do more in the future. Also, if you like what you hear please consider supporting us through ko-fi.com/mosaicmindband.

Some of the Otherworld of Midwich Elementary School in-game models from the 1st Silent Hill that I designed and modeled back then. Rendered in a 3DCG software Softimage 3D that we used for the development.

I honestly really like recording, whether it's audio or video (you don't see me either way). There's a relief to not having to sit there and force the written word out onto the screen. I plan what I'll say, sure, but it really feels like using a different part of my brain.

Anyway, back over here on SH2, I've ended up taking way too long of a "doing fuck-all" break. OBS is being fussy, but I'm not near needing to record again anyway. If I can get it to work, I might record something else short(er) while I'm on the writing part of the process.

🎶Bloober Team just announced the Silent Hill (1) remake🎶

Anything else going on... new Garbage album, Josh Johnson's INCREDIBLE video last night, browsing 2" gym mats for PT, OBS being fussy again, please keep me out of the "under $5" section on Steam

Meanwhile, I seem to have crashed for a few days (while still going to PT 3x/week). I have been very unproductive, but long covid/chronic fatigue is just kind of like that sometimes. However, I did "graduate" from physical therapy and I have self-guided, customizable home exercise now.

Not to give you a multi-platform runaround, but @idoherty451.bsky.social will be streaming SH2 tonight and I'll be in chat and Toluca Prison is a super fun area, for my values of "fun" www.tumblr.com/cleolinda/78...
