Hi hello again! My pay cheque was a bit smaller last month and got completely ate by living costs, on top of that I'm likely to have more expenses in the coming weeks before my money situation levels out - anything that can be thrown my way would be super appreciated <3 ko-fi.com/chaztargrin

So @guildwars2.com added a new drum kit chair to the gem store today Varius is totally using it for its intended purpose

Thanks for the support yesterday! <3 I did get my cheque yesterday evening, and meantime thanks to folks here I've got enough to grab groceries until that clears (probably on Monday or Tuesday)!

Ooh, end of month woes again. My old job is taking their sweet time to actually get back to me with my final paycheck, and my new job won't pay me until the last Thursday of next month And my PayPal is in the red by a fair bit, to boot. If anyone can throw some assistance my way, read below!

"Chaz why'd you put a Farmer in your starting party for Etrian Odyssey 3?" Well, a lot of reasons, but 'Free Escape Rope' is definitely the biggest one! (This was totally also an excuse to draw the whole party, which is really just a bunch of my charr OCs)

folks i dont love asking but!!! could you help me out w some #mutualAid to get thru the month? travel to help w my dad & spouse getting wrongfully fired has us pretty tight on money. anything helps!! http://paypal.me/notfun http://ko-fi.com/notfun http://cash.app/$cial https://venmo.com/syd-doyle

Etrian Odyssey 3 is fun (I'm only on floor 2 now but still) I love that having a farmer in my party saved me from a stupid decision on the first floor

I have survived my last day at crappy job \o/ (well, it was a crappy boss more than a crappy job but) Got a three-day weekend and then I head in to start my new job on Monday!

I've been back in the Warframe mines recently - finally got to play through The New War (hella fun) and now I've gotten to the Warframe 1999 content I adore the writing for the Hex's KIM conversations so much

Last bump I'll give for this post, thank you to folks who have supported so far, whether through a donation or a signal boost <3

Reposting again - my bank account is down to single digits at the moment and while I've got some food supplies to last me a while, I'd appreciate having a bit of a buffer! Can also pay me via revolut.me/chaztargrin if PayPal isn't your jam!

Reposting for the later crowd - dealing with a lil money snafu going into April and I could use the help to cover me over the next couple weeks!

Hi again! Speaking of jobs and money, it's about a couple weeks until my next money comes in, and things are a lil' bit tight here again Hopefully if I do land this new job I'll get into a better position, but for the moment any help would be appreciated, even just a boost! ko-fi.com/chaztargrin

Good news though: I might finally have a ticket out of this job (which for reasons I won't get into here I really don't like) My cool former boss from the job I actually enjoyed got in touch with me again, he's managed to secure funding for a fixed-term contract at his new workplace!

So I was originally planning to stream more Rimworld today buuuuut it was a long day at work and I am wiped I've got tomorrow off though, so I can set something up then!

Going live with some Rimworld over on twitch.tv/chaztargrin ! Might poke about at some other games later, we'll see :D

Iiiii would like to do a Twitch stream today! I'm not sure when the best time to do one would be - our clocks have finally sprung forward in the UK so maybe I'll do something in the early afternoon? I'd like to do a little shopping first but our weather's all over the place right now, hahaha

www.twitch.tv/chaztargrin/... My ass got kidnapped in Rimworld, hahaha

Kicking off another stream! We return to the misadventures of Grintown in RimWorld, Randy Random/Strive to Survive! twitch.tv/chaztargrin

Planning on streaming some more Rimworld after lunch today! We're off to a good start, having just recruited a wild woman and about to recruit a prisoner - just need to set up the housing complex properly (and also start work on crafting stations!)

I?? Just noticed I have £150 more on my PAYG electric meter than I thought I did?? Is this some new government grant I wasn't aware of or did someone at OVO mess up and double up my Warm Home Discount from last year

Okay! Dinner had, post-dinner walk walked, tea brewed, we'll be kicking off shortly! twitch.tv/chaztargrin !

Hokay, back from doc appointment (Doc is very impressed with how just the small changes I've made have reduced my blood sugar levels, so that's good!) It is however 3pm so if I started stream right now I might not get very far before I have to grab dinner Let's see about starting in 2-3 hours?

Iiiii think I would like to do a Rimworld stream today Once I'm back from my doc appointment this afternoon I'll see about setting something up!

Doc's pleased with my progress so far! No need to up my med dosage, just need to keep taking tests. I do gotta go in for an ECG on Friday though, just generally getting an idea of where I'm currently at

Update on the diabetes stuff: I'm already seeing some encouraging signs after some small changes to my lifestyle - most notably, yesterday I noticed a considerable dip in my blood sugar after walking a decent distance around town.

Hi hello there! Got a bit of bad news: I have been officially diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes Thankfully the doc has been super nice and helpful in getting me set up - I've got some finger prick tests to take over the weekend, and some meds to reduce my blood sugar. Scary news, but manageable!

I got hit with the itch to read Discworld again recently, and fell in with my old physical copies of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic again Just finished the first and started on the second, I adore Sir Terry's writing style so much

Going live over on Twitch now! We'll be taking a look at Insider Trading, a stocks-themed deckbuilding game! Might poke at other games afterwards, depending on how I'm feeling. twitch.tv/chaztargrin

Snack run complete! Gonna start setting up for stream - dunno how long it'll be as I do have some other things I wanna do today, but I can at least do that deckbuildy game I was talking about, hah

It's been a hot minute since I've streamed, so i think I'm going to set something up a little later today, to round out the week! Same deal as usual, heading out on a snack run first, and then I'll come back and get started!

Heck with it, it's my birthday and I want to ask you all: What's your favourite birthday meme that you send to your friends on their birthday? Mine's the ominous BIRTH cake from Tumblr

It birthday \o/ merry birthday

Woooo, birthday coming up on Sunday \o/ got the next week off work as a little present to myself, hahaha (of course I also have a blood test next week so that's gonna be a little nervewracking, aaa)

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Dr. Who" or "Transformers"!

One more bump on this one for now - again, Revolut (DM me!) or Stripe would be preferable to PayPal (though if you're having trouble sending payment that way I'll take a look and see what's up!)

I'm a professional in the #art and #writing field with experience in triple-A games and over 15 years of experience in interactive narrative, art, and editing. I'm looking for full-time work, but if you appreciate the work I do, consider dropping me a tip at this brand new link! ko-fi.com/malodious

Signal boosting \o/ A little reminder that I'm also accepting Stripe for donations, or if you've got Revolut, hit me up in DMs and I can throw my details your way! Paypal's a little funky for me at the moment but the support is appreciated all the same!

Due to a mix of weather, mental health funtimes and a little bit of income tax shenaniganry, I'm in a little bit of a financial pickle again No obligation to donate, but if you could pitch in a little bit I'd appreciate it! ko-fi.com/chaztargrin

Goodness me, I've been followed by a decent handful of charr folks after that last post :D hello fellow murdercat aficionados!

Got a commission from the awesome @arunkie.bsky.social ! My shaggy fluffcat Varius, both as an animated portrait and a lil' idle sprite pose!

Bluh, the roads have been out of whack for nearly a whole week now, I haven't been able to get a bus into town for groceries at all this year, and it sounds like it's going to be that way for a little while yet

FUCK YOU IT'S JANUARY!!!

Snack run done, settling in back at home, and getting ready to stream in about 15 minutes! We'll be starting off with some Shapez 2, and depending on how that goes we might venture into other games later!

Hope folks had some good holidays yesterday! Thinking about doing a boxing day stream on Twitch today, once I've taken a quick snack run (provided the buses are running today, Stagecoach's info is unreliable!) I've got a little surprise I'm excited to share with folks for that :D

Going live now! Just in the process of warming up, we'll be starting with SAR and then going into some other chill games! twitch.tv/chaztargrin

Pardon the delays with actually getting a stream going - I'm gonna see about kicking one off in the next 10 minutes! Watch this space for the stream going live, we're gonna chill with some Super Anomal Royale, Balatro, and maybe some more shenanigans too!
