I have discovered that caffeine once again has an effect on me In related news, it appears I have woken up just in time to go to a work meeting that I forgot was happening! Panick!

So how do I maintain my stance that award shows are stupid yet still lord over the people who take award shows super seriously because they got beat out by Umamusume?

Mustering the motivation to work in December is very hard All the organizations I work with usually take the month off, so there isn't much to do. Doesn't help that I usually take the entire 2nd half of it off anyway So I'm practically just counting the days till next Thursday

It's funny how a kinda questionable choice to make an all-women race in a 1998 game Led to a 2017 game making a serious effort to design and world-build the culture of an all-women warrior race Which led to Age of Imprisonment having the biggest set of dark-skinned women in any Nintendo game.

Nothing like losing your 50/50, then making up for it immediately afterward #GenshinImpact #Durin #SmallStreamer youtube.com/shorts/qxrXi...

I've submitted both of my panels for Sakura-con. Now I need to finish up the PowerPoints for them. They want to look them over and make sure I don't have any bad stuff in them. Due date's Jan 5th. Should be able to get it done by then (fingers-crossed)

We're back into a normal schedule this week, with a caveat. Durin's character quest in Genshin Impact takes place over 5 irl days. Not sure exactly how that is going to flow, so we're taking a look beginning tonight. If the segments are short enough, we'll take time each stream to go through it.

I was successful in putting up my Christmas tree last night. In perfect place for people to see it on stream. In related news: we start Metroid Prime 4 tonight. We'll likely begin around 4-5pm Pacific.

"I'm sleepy. I should go to bed." *brushes teeth. Gets in bed* "Well, now what?"

It's here. I have it. I'm looking at it. I just "can't" play it yet. Darn stream schedules ^_^; Age of Imprisonment tonight. We'll start Metroid on Saturday

Moon-Prayer Night is a joyous, magical time. Either that or the Rapture has come to Teyvat #genshinimpact #streamhighlights youtube.com/shorts/mX1R6...

6.5 hours to stream both chapters of Genshin's latest update. I was not planning on doing both chapters but they dumped me into chapter 6 as soon as chapter 5 ended and I couldn't stop ^_^; I do not regret this atm. But it is also one in the morning, so I may be regretting this in about 6 hours

Streaming the latest #GenshinImpact patch tonight. Perfect time to update the tier list

Hey, look! I did a thing! Actually, a whole bunch of things! I think I enjoy doing this. #twitchrecap #Smallstreamer @smstsupport.bsky.social

December has arrived and boy do we have some new stuff coming our way. Genshin, Imprisonment, *and* Metroid Prime 4. We so ready #stream #smallstreamer

Got out of my normal cooking wheelhouse a bit and made some shrimp curry courtesy of my Genshin cookbook

I will sacrifice everything to find what I need. Even if it's just a single green rupee. #Zelda #Randomizer youtube.com/shorts/1-Awz...

It's Black Friday! A day of commercialism and chaos. Naturally this means I'm avoiding the outside world as much as possible. And what better way than to put myself in a #Zelda maze? Ocarina of Time Randomizer in 90 min, running for about eight hours. @smstsupport.bsky.social twitch.tv/conterez

Monthly Ocarina of Time Randomizer stream this afternoon. Trying to figure out how I could potentially make this Black Friday-themed. But outside of making the shop prices cheap (which I usually do anyway) I don't have much to go on. ^_^;

QT this post with the first character you got to love you in Date Everything! I'll be honest, I can't remember ^_^; I believe it was Bobby, but if it wasn't, then it was either Mac or Betty

Just finished the first film of my annual Lord of the Rings rewatch Now that Lord of the Rings is technically 7 movies, I get to start the marathon with the latest release. Seriously, do not sleep on "War of the Rohirrim." Anime or not, this is a solid story, amazingly told, and wonderfully voice.

The latest ZUCast is up. We're talking companions, and how they really don't want to be there #zelda @zeldauniverse.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENDa...

I'm not super into Christmas traditions, but I absolutely love the #LighttheWorld giving machines. Vending machine that lets you buy something for someone in need. You can find them worldwide. My church covers all operational costs so if you're buying a chicken, that's exactly what they're getting.

We all get so caught up in the news of the moment that we don't see how a message changes and intensifies in even a short timeframe. If nothing else, the last segment, and that last line, hit hard.

You enter a dance contest, pick your moves

What flavor is your OC? I have several OCs and I kinda want to do this for all of them (I love developing their personalities beyond what I can do at the D&D table). We'll stick with Conterez though, and I'm thinking hot chocolate with marshmallows

Had a random idea for Link not speaking, now that the past couple of mainline games have given him a reason why he doesn't: What if in a future game (or heck, even the movie) he doesn't talk because no one gives him the chance to? Like he's about to, but he keeps getting interrupted.

Things I wasn't expecting to do for another 13+ years: attend a high school musical. Things I forgot existed but will now apparently witness: The SpongeBob Squarepants Musical. I expect to be surprisingly amused tonight.

I can't just be a glutton for punishment, I have to have comedic timing while I'm at it. #Shorts #Zelda #AgeofImprisonment youtube.com/shorts/J6a4G...

Wanted a more relaxed image. Conterez as an OC can fight, but his role has steadily progressed to being a help, observer, and a mentor than the "main" character. Big thanks to @biotifulart.bsky.social for art ^_^

Happy Anniversary to my favorite Zelda game!

On this day, I discovered I could give the most hated monster in Hyrule a taste of its own medicine #Stream #Zelda youtube.com/shorts/3XHl3...

If you see this, QTP with a male character you love!

Link looks like Link Zelda kind of looks like Zelda? Everything looks way too serious. I know these shots don't say much, but I doubted the use of live-action from the beginning and this doesn't help.

Instructions unclear. Somehow got it anyway #GenshinImpact #stream youtube.com/shorts/hwFdN...

So the idea of the "Alpha Wolf" doesn't exist. Also, if a wolf is a "lone wolf" for any extended period of time, he's basically a failure at being a wolf. I now have to assume that everything we "know" about wolves is wrong, and I find that hilarious.

It's really nice to know what I'm streaming for the coming week. I have goals I'm working towards, so I will work on them. #streamschedule #smallstreamer

Finally getting around to making something I should have made at least a year ago: A Genshin Impact Convention Panel Got more things to do at Sakuracon this year (pending panel acceptance) ^_^

I don't mind the isekai format, but there has to be something there beyond a harem-focused power fantasy. "A Wild Last Boss Appeared" has quickly shown that: The perils of body-swapping, entering a world that is not the world you thought it was, and what happens when the heroes lose.

We can all use a bit more smiling on our timelines

Couple of critiques regarding Rosalina in the new Mario movie trailer) - I must be too used to the Smash Bros model cause movie Rosalina needs about 80 more pounds of muscle mass. She should not be skinnier than Peach - For some reason the rendition of the Galaxy theme sounds like a phone commercial

Seeing people already rolling credits on Age of Imprisonment and I've only streamed it once for four hours. Dang it, I'm going to get spoiled on this, aren't I?

You don't need to commission sexy #Bowser art. Nintendo will pay a multimillion dollar movie studio to make for you #SuperMarioGalaxy

Looking solid. Love that they're bringing in the Super Mario Sunshine elements. Also side note, but does the Galaxy music playing while Rosalina is wrecking house sound like cell phone ad music to anyone else?

If you see this, QTP with a gif of the last show/movie u watched 🎥

I've always danced around the idea of an NSFW commission. The reasons why would be too much to explain in text form (ask me on stream sometime), but suffice to say, I finally took the plunge. Super huge thanks to @ultrabinou.bsky.social for helping Elandra let loose.

This is my child #GenshinImpact #Paimon

Umm, @pablo.show, did you break the "F*ck Around" button? youtu.be/TnmEe3QPBK4?...

✨My 5 dreams as a creator✨ - Be someone people come to for fun, learning, and inspiration - Find more people I can befriend and play with - Be invited to conventions, podcasts, etc - Have the motivation to try new projects - Never feel like I need to ignore myself to achieve these
