I'm gonna have to just rip the band-aid off at some point and come back and just get into it. Either that, or just give up entirely. I'm not doing myself any favors being so apprehensive about it for so long

Sorry, I'm having one this month, and I can't seem to get my shit together. Gotta say, seeing everyone on Twitch panicking about how awful the "viewbot" changes have been, really not enticing me to come back. I think my first stream back will be something chill, like a minecraft stream or something

something supernatural happened

Barring anything supernatural happening, I think I really have everything ready to start streaming again. Gotta go through and update a bunch of stuff, but other than that, I should be good to go.

I miss being an unhinged piece of shit, I'm gonna start being more of a menace

Mission failed. We'll get em next time

Patreon Subs, lmao, I bet they are pay your subscription, little sub, get your art

I've been busy, so I didn't realize it, but sometime last week marked the one year anniversary of my cat Luna coming into my life after I rescued her from under a bush next to my front door.

I don't really care for the discover tab, but the following tab pisses me off, too, because it sorts by age of comment always. Which is fine sometimes, but most of the time, it's 48 reposts by 3 really desperate artists trying to get people to look at their posts. Really just need a "highlights" tab

If anyone can tell help me get two different keyboards working independently with a single computer, I'd appreciate it. I want to take notes on games I'm playing while never having to tab out of the program I'm using. Apparently, my options are a VM, a shitload of macros, or another computer.

yo spectrum fucking sucks!!!!! stop dropping my service every time I want to do anything network intensive!!

i think its pretty cool that a group of people who absolutely do not give a shit about games or expressing yourself through an art medium can climb up on their little soap box of fake moral superiority, pressure payment companies to fuck over small creators, and act like that was some huge victory.

I had a similar idea with Stardew Valley, where each player plays through a year, and the goal is nebulous, but probably something like getting all 4 candles and some amount of money or something. Maybe adding new mods every new person? I don't know. It sounds fun to play, but boring to watch.

Thinking about a group pokemon game idea where someone starts a "nuzlocke" of sorts, and then after a set amount of time or after a gym victory, you pass that save file to another person who has to continue where you left off, but with one new stipulation added.

adhd is bullshit, what do you mean it's been weeks since my last post, I feel like I posted yesterday

Luna demands your attention #cat

I FORGOT SEGA CD AND THE 32X WHOOPS

Alright, I think I have every game I can think of mapped into Launchbox now, besides all my steam games, which I'm not doing. It auto-added all my installed games anyway, so that's fun. I am very close to starting streaming back fully. That process took a lot longer than I thought it would, whoops!

My final Night in the Woods #fanart (also from 2021). I saw a lot of my friends in the characters, so I turned @detectivemecha.bsky.social into raccoon Bea, myself into Mae, @yokuba.bsky.social into wolf Angus, @moogsy.bsky.social into bunny Gregg, and @desertacu.bsky.social into yoshi Germ.

When I come back, I'm considering having a "schedule" something like Random Retro Game Retro Game I want to show you "Modern" Game "Modern" Game with friend Flavor of the Week Not in that order, and this certainly isn't final, just something I'm toying around with before coming back.

Funny undertale shitposts aside, I am very close to coming back to streaming. I have a few more games and emulators to set up, and then I need to triple check everything before getting back into it (obs settings, model stuff, etc.) I will attempt to reach Affiliate before the end of next month!

I still think it's very funny that out of everyone I know, I was probably the first person to buy and download undertale, and then I never interacted with the series because I missed my chance to play it before Sans got meme'd so fucking hard it completely killed my interest in the series.

not me realizing that I haven't posted on social media at all in weeks, probably. whoops. I'm currently setting up some utilities for me to use to stream easier, and will probably pivot to streaming a mix of emulated Retro and Modern games.

I had the opportunity to buy the new switch and decided not to. I'll wait until I'm off the crazy tariff ride before committing any money to Mr. Nintendo's Inflation machine.

Heyo, I promise I didn't forget what I said about streaming! I did, once again, forget about social media though. I'm really bad at that. So, I was working on a little something on the side that I think will be neat, but its still under progress. Here's a sneak peak at something. It's a WIP for now

I've been so exhausted this week that I haven't even had the mental strength to post on social media for real, just a few art reposts from friends. I know I promised a stream a few days ago and fell through on that, sorry. I've literally only gotten a grand total of 10 hours of sleep this week.

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm DrSpectre, illustrator/pixel artist Here are some various pixel art pieces I've made in the past

Delilah gets abducted by aliens

My ass is tired today. I was gonna stream, but I'm wiped. Tomorrow, we'll continue with Mika or finish the Sonic Adventure 2 randomizer

Luna was very pitiful last night. She couldn't reach her toy and needed to cry until I pushed it over for her. Poor baby. #kitten #cat

www.twitch.tv/detectivemecha Gonna check out some Mika and the Witch's Mountain for a bit!

www.twitch.tv/detectivemecha Going live with some Archipelago Randomizer with Deathlink! @yokuba.bsky.social who is playing Super Mario World, and @elby7.bsky.social who is playing Terraria are joing me. I'm playing Sonic Adventure 2, and I'm scared, please help me.

Oh yeah just wanted to mention Me and two friends are planning to do an Archipelago randomizer stream Tomorrow/Sunday @detectivemecha.bsky.social will be playing Sonic Adventure 2, I will be playing Super Mario World, and @elby7.bsky.social will be playing Terraria off stream. Should be fun.

Luna was being cute this morning and actually let me get a picture. #cat #kitten

Wow, another long break, and this time, I really don't have an excuse for it. I've been playing a lot of Terraria with friends, and beyond that, I was catching up with the Mandalorian. I'm gonna try to reign myself in and get back to streaming. I think an actual schedule would help me a lot.

Since the video limit was raised, I can finally post this video of Luna playing with the sink from a few months back #cat #kitten

Bad storm in my area tonight, no stream. Gotta keep an eye out for tornadoes. I've gotta pick up some groceries tomorrow, so maybe after that, I can play something? I have no idea what, though.

Going Live with Haste: Broken Worlds If Next Fest doesn't end first. After that, we'll see what I get up to. I haven't decided yet but I don't want to miss out on playing this demo. www.twitch.tv/detectivemecha

Stream went well last night, except for my cat wanting attention near the end and me dozing off a bit. It was late and I was wiped, haha. Gonna try to stream again today sometime, I'll post a bit before I do it. I really want to try this Haste demo before it goes away. After that, who knows!

It's a bit late, but I'm going to be trying to power through these demos now! Might have to cut back on a few I wanted to check out, but this is mostly a network test anyway! www.twitch.tv/detectivemecha

Big hat Rowlet #Pokemon #PokemonArt #pokemonfanart #rowlet

I should definitely check before I start streaming that its actually fixed though. SO, fingers crossed I get to see you all tonight!

Whats up gamers, internet was still broken when I got home, but good news is, its fixed now! I got the notification this morning. So, if not today, definitely tomorrow I'll have a big fat stream checking out all these demos I want to play. After the Demo-a-thon, we can decide what to play next!

Sorry for not posting yesterday, the internet was still out. It should be fixed today, but I won't know until I get home from work. Fingers crossed! We have some demos to power through

Fighting with my internet again. Seems like the whole ISP is down or something, been fighting with it for awhile now. Don't use Spectrum if you have a choice. Stream tomorrow, if the internet is back!

I definitely didn't immediately come home and go to bed yesterday, and you can't prove it. Gonna try to stream tonight, next fest demos. If you've got a demo you want to see me play, let me know!

I've gotten sucked into playing Project Zomboid lately, and the idea is super neat. There are a lot of things that frustrate me with the latest build they have out, but I finally had a run last long enough for me to see the power go out. It had me thinking about how I feel about it in general?

With all that being said! If anyone, including any game developers, want me to ever play a demo or whatever on stream, please feel free to reach out! I am always up to playing a game, and you'd be surprised at how easily I can find bugs in your game. I'm a magnet for them, I swear.
