Welp. Lost access to my Twitch account (thanks 2fa), which is why I didn’t stream yesterday. Gonna take today to regroup and figure out what my next step is. Might end up pivoting to a different platform, now that I’m forced to restart. We’ll see, I guess. Maybe Moonbeam? Youtube? Who knows.

It's time! Grabbing some water, and getting some stuff done, and I'll be hopping on stream! Hope to see you there! 💙

Hey! It's Monday, so that means it's time for a stream! I'll be hopping on in about 30 to 40 minutes (Once my partner goes off to work), and I'll be playing the Demo for Digimon Story Time Stranger! My PC can run it pretty smoothly, and I've been on a Digimon kick lately, so... See you soon!

Yesterday’s stream was a lot of fun! Really missed going live and just chatting or game for a bit. Unfortunately, between life and work I won’t be able to do it super consistently. But, who knows? Maybe one day, it’ll be my job! (A guy can dream, right?)

Surprise! I’m streaming on twitch! Currently doing a just chatting, but might jump into a game soon! Might see which games I have installed are streamable! twitch.tv/jowoelwrites

Its ma birfday

Started playing Bioshock Infinite. Man, I did not expect the amount of racism in that game. Gonna power through in hopes it isn’t just set dressing, but so far…? Not super impressed. The gameplay is smooth and crisp, though! 😅

Been playing Date Everything a LOT lately. It’s rare that there’s a game where I like so many of the characters, ESPECIALLY in the context of, like, romancing them. I lowkey want a coloring book of this game, btw. That’d be sick!

So. If I manage to get enough for rent this month, I SHOULD be able to dedicate my entire next month to content creation / streaming! I have so many ideas! If you’re able to help, please do! Any little bit helps!

I’m alive! But again! Hoping to reconnect with everyone, now that I’ve returned to the land of the living!

Reasons I've been screamed at by the roommate in the last month: - Cleaning up (apparently, I cleaned because I'm insecure) - putting things back - Offering suggestions (this is apparently taking someone's autonomy) - Not communicating - Communicating - Saying Star Wars is sci-fi She sucks. 😅

Guess who just got a membership to Archery USA and is getting certified as an instructor next week? That's right, it's me. 😎

Great session! Thank you to those who joined us, and to the wonderful players: @pandacabra.bsky.social @alinapete.bsky.social @maggiehon.bsky.social @jowoelwrites.bsky.social (We missed you @improvandrpg.bsky.social ) VOD available on both Twitch and Moonbeam. YouTube upload coming soon!

I'M ALIVE! After a well-earned rest from social media, I'm back! Will primarily use Bluesky, and it'll be mostly to promote the work I do, but I'm here! Hope you're all doing good! I'll be updating this profile soon. 😎

After a day of fighting and drama, our heroes settle in for an uneasy night. Prospects of meeting family has them nervous, so who knows what will happen? Come watch the powderkeg that is Empyrean Rising, streaming today at 3PM EST/12PM Pacific! #TTRPGs #CypherSystem www.twitch.tv/alteredechoa...

Tomorrow, and every Saturday onwards, will be my update days. It is during those days that any new chapters I've written for my stories will go up on Ao3. If you'd like to read them, they're all there! Just search me up with my username on there, or use the link in my description to find them easy!

Phew. Today was a particularly hot day. But, worked in the backyard today, finally got a 12-hole ocarina, AND got some progress done on the TTRPG I've been working on! ✨️PROGRESS! ✨️

Today is a lay down and try not to down in existential dead type of day. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow.

I have a new character planned for a new, off-stream game, and I'm unbelievably excited to play them! I enjoy doing streams, but the energy of a streamed game is so different from a home game. :3

UPDATE: Chapter 1 of both [Children of the Flame] and [Neon's Glow] have gone up on ny AO3 today! As with [The Lake of Crimson Tears], these are WIPs that follow queer protagonists, AND are the type of stories I love to read! Hope you enjoy them! 💙 archiveofourown.org/users/Jowoel...

Doing some digging in the backyard to help install some water feature. It's my first time experiencing Summer, and holy fucking shit, it's hot as balls. Send help, I'm melting. ;-;

I can really tell mom misses me. But I moved up here to make a better life not just for myself, but for her too. Finding a good job isn't easy. But once I do, I hope to repay every kindness she's ever given me. She deserves the world, and I'm going to give it to her.

I gotta make it a habit to post here more often. I don't do it nearly enough. 😅 So, here: In a moment that surprised no one, tonight's session of Empyrean Rising was absolutely amazing. Playing with that table has been one of the best things in life, and I cannot wait to continue. 💙

>Login. . .King >Look the truth is, I’m not the only new Archivist in town. Scribe is here too but you won’t often find them here talking to you Echoes. You’ll have to come to the community nights they host on our discord server to meet them discord.gg/F74gC8UdJC Until next time Echoes. King, out_

Here's the thing: I want Palworld. So, I'm willing to trade work (written or GM) for a copy of the game. I'm also willing to do twice as much work for a second copy of the game. So I can bring one of my friends along! I will write Fan-Fic for you or GM a one-shot for you! 👀👀👀

I didn't know you all loved stats so much! Here are some numbers I'm thinking about: - 109 days - 500,000 people currently at risk of death from starvation in north Gaza alone - 660 recorded attacks on health institutions - 63,740 Palestinians injured - 25,700 Palestinians killed

Greetings Echoes. In solidarity with the global strike AEA has postponed stream to after the strike is over. Episode 24 will be available after January 28th, and we will continue to have a donation QR code on screen benefiting Medical Aid for Palestinians www.map.org.uk #FreePalestine #CeasefireNow

Just a pre-emptive statement that Empire of the Summer Moon is highly inaccurate and promotes harmful stereotypes about Comanche people. S.C. Gwynne wrote it citing only 19th century white Texas sources and not a single Comanche. He is working with Sheridan specifically to keep out our POV.

The Archive is Expanding! The EYE welcomes @jowoelwrites.bsky.social and @extrilltheking.bsky.social as official Staff and Archivists on the team! Director Evi is very excited and has instructed the EYE to be excited as well.

Writing something somewhat romantic, and... Fuck, I'm a catch. 😎

I rarely talk about this, but in case it helps #ttrpg Designers doing their own layout for publication: In my day job I'm a typographic designer. If you have any questions (kerning vs. tracking? Different fonts look different sizes at the same point size?) Shoot them my way

I've been focusing heavily on improving my self- love. It's led me in many interesting directions. I can feel a great time of uncertainty in the future because of it... ... But beyond that, I feel a day will come when I'll finally be fully happy. And that moment is worth all anguish.

I need to increase my income. I really feel like this novel is the one, but I need to survive until I can get it published. So... Want to help out? I'll post the first paragraph of the novel if I get 5 monthly subs, or whatever they're called on Ko-Fi. 👀 ko-fi.com/jowoelwrites

Heads up, actual play fans! Empyrean Rising is at a different time this weekend. We're on SATURDAY, not Sunday this week. (Just a temp change due to schedules, we'll be back at or normal time after this game) Saturday, 12pm PT/3pm ET Twitch.tv/alteredechoarchives

Indiginerds is a wrap!!! A huge thank you to everyone who backed the project. I truly believe that this book is going to change minds about who we are as Indigenous people, and I'm so grateful to all of our contributors for their amazing stories and art. kinanâskomitin!! 🎉🙌🧡

I wrote a proper drag show at a gay bar into my novel. My power has grown tenfold.

It's my birthday today & the nicest thing you could do for me is to help us unlock the Library Donation level so we can help Indig kids see themselves in comics! - Back it! - Spread the word - Contact your library/comic book & suggest that they order this book! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/i...

I've been working on a new story that is completely and fundamentally different from anything I've ever written, and it factually my best story to date. I tried to shed my old self, as I felt constricted by their ghost. And now? FUCK. It feels good. This shit is publishing worthy. Just you wait.

With magic's awakening artifacts of the last mage era stir and come to life as well, bringing with them the hazards of items misunderstood. The consequences of this have expedited tension, and the group is left dealing with the aftermath. 3 EST/12 PST twitch.tv/alteredechoarchives

We rise again in an hour and a half. Join me with @extrilltheking.bsky.social, @alinapete.bsky.social, and @jowoelwrites.bsky.social for the latest installment of Empyrean Rising, a #CypherSystem based TTRPG. (Sadly Maggie is out today, but they'll return soon!)

I tried opening up to a friend today, about why I struggle to write nowadays... His response? Silence. Not a word of support. Not even the verbal equivalent of a pat on the back. It made me remember *why* I don't do this. Few things suck more than opening up to someone who doesn't give a fuck...
