Good morning Travelers! We are kicking off early this morning to celebrate a wonderful year of gaming, writing, and library related events. Because of your support, we became Twitch Affiliate last year, and today we'll celebrate just that. Thank you all so much! 🥳💛☀️ www.twitch.tv/incandescent...

Morning breakfast and then getting online to celebrate one-year of being Twitch Affiliate. Let's just relax for the day with some writing and maybe do some more grinding in Smallands. ☺️

Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet? Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions? Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?

ALA, @bookriot.bsky.social, @penamerica.bsky.social, @flfreedomread.bsky.social, @txfreedomread.bsky.social all track different aspects of the movement - no matter how you look at it, book bans are sweeping across the country. Don't miss our joint report: https://bit.ly/4qkTZh5

So this year's Steam Rewind, I've played 28 games. Nightreign, Tiny Bookshop, and Lies of P were up on top. Cool.

Boards I did for the intermission sequence. I didn't really have enough time to clean it all up, but it gets the point across. It was fun to go goose wild with this one.

Another Nightreign collab, but now it's two writers uniting against the Dreglord! www.twitch.tv/incandescent...

1563 followers on Twitch, wouldn't it be so silly and cool to get to 1600 for the new year :3

i've been using Vivaldi (the only browser i've found taking any stance against GenAI, albeit not the best one) for the past 2 months or so, and it's been really great, if anyone is looking for reccs vivaldi.com/blog/keep-ex...

Maddi is taking over my stream today! She's live right now and playing Toroa: Skycall from @atawhaigames.bsky.social! Also we have sub discounts active for today :D Come say hi! twitch.tv/luketheamateur

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

less than 1k more to go to reach our new goal!!!

Howdy, I've got the poll for which Pokemon game we should randomize and play through since we hit it as a sub goal! I'll give a warning that there's a good chance the newer games might not run well if they win, but I'm personally willing to give them an attempt to see KEKW strawpoll.com/GeZARz6q1yV

Made the decision to pause my first Yakuza 0 playthrough until I return to streaming in the new year on Jan. 5th. As for my collabs for this week, will not be canceled unless something does come up on their ends. We'll see how I'm feeling on the 19th for the anniversary stream.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

May have to cancel some plans for the coming week. Just received terrible news and I haven't been well since. So, no D&D tonight. I'll figure stuff out & come back to you with how I want to end this month of streaming. Whether it's resuming Yakuza 0 or celebrating my 1st year Affilate Anniversary.

Gotta be honest here - we were nervous this morning when we raised our original $30k fundraising goal to $45k so that we could accommodate a $5k donation match challenge from @cyan.com, unsure if we were shooting too high. But you all CAME THROUGH, and we demolished that challenge in one day!

We are live again to dive into Nightreign and get our Revenge!
