TMW it's past 9 AM and you have to choose between just staying up again, or sleeping at a weird AF time...

"No sleep, caffeine, and a dream."

Is it me or is the term 'joybait' that I used a long while ago suddenly gaining traction? I won't claim I was the first or that it was all that creative a term, but it's interesting to see a polarity with some applying negative connotations & others (JG Superman memes) more like what I meant.

I... I just learned about how to crit...

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween! I may or may not have been able to at least dress up in class even if I was on the grind a bit~ But did any of you go Trick or Treating (even as escorts) or to any fun parties?!

youtu.be/ipm3hxNHslY?... Okay so! It's on the rare side of cooked but I wanted to at least release SOMETHING in time for the Witching Hour of Halloween in at least SOME parts of the world. So here's a preview to what will be refined! Original Rap to a track by @voidcrawler4231.bsky.social !

www.twitch.tv/cinnafaun/cl... Awww... Cinna and his community is always so sweet. I definitely vibe with the Gold Rush Ego gear. In fact, Cinna gave me that gear in another tier list a while ago! Taken from a @cinnafaun.bsky.social stream! Send much love to the sweet bean goatboy!

www.twitch.tv/cinnafaun/cl... @annedorima.bsky.social would you be MY Watson? You ARE my editor. Taken from a @cinnafaun.bsky.social stream! Please send much love to both of these sweet beans!

I... I JUST learned that sprint jumping in MC is faster than just sprinting... Yes. In spite of knowing how to make wild contraptions and farms. Redstone experiments and plugin exploitation experiments galore. But THIS. I somehow missed. Story of my life. I'm going to bed.

Thank you all so much for being here! I feel so insanely lucky to be surrounded by so much warmth... Thank you for the games and raids @annedorima.bsky.social @phitsuna.bsky.social @voidcrawler4231.bsky.social @PUMSQUATCH! Raided @animeida.happydevilgirl.dev ! Megnetoplasmadynamic Love!

Going Live Now on Both Twitch and Youtube! youtube.com/@InitialPhi twitch.tv/initialphi ! OW With Friends!

To help whenever I'm indecisive. I'll slowly add more songs to this wheel but this is all the ones I could remember for now. Also, I'd be streaming more often if there weren't so many group projects. 🥹

Thank you all so much for being here! And for being patient with all the scuff and how rusty I am at this! I even forgot to put on my hearbeat monitor wah! Thank you for the raids @cinnafaun.bsky.social @chylaristhebest ! We raided @yariko.bsky.social ! Please send them Magnetoplasmadynamic Love!

Wah!!! Thank you all so very much for the absolutely magnificent welcome back... 🥹 The sheer degree of positivity you all permeate is tear-inducing. I am insanely lucky, and appreciate you all so much. Valo Collab with @chylaristhebest @HippieVT @eepynimby.bsky.social ToeBeans shortly!

Uhhh. Okay mission number 1 is to try to get Valo to actually run. WTH It was working before!

Sorry again for having been so inactive, everyone! Gotta love how "I'll try to stream at least twice a week" turned into me disappearing behind an event horizon again, eh...? Wahhh. I miss you all! I'll be live for a bit (which work may interrupt) before tonight's collab!

Anyone ever have to relearn how to swallow so as not to constantly scrape tongue on inner invisalign attachments?

vimeo.com/124397123 This is the anime that made me fall in love with Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.2 Nodame Cantabile.

Wah... If I stream again anytime soon, my pronunciation might seem off because I'm adjusting to a new set of aligners that my tongue hasn't gotten used to the attachments of yet.

You know. It's surprising the number of times I have brought up Jim Clark in conversation lately. Here's him getting some inner wheel lift action in a Lotus Cortina~ It's fascinating to think about just how... sensitive he was to what his car was saying. Any other Jim Clark fans out there?

Just realized that everything was so hectic I didn't even tell anyone! Well! Had another long drive, but that has concluded safely! 💜 Magnetoplasmadynamic Love to You All!

Wah!!! Another wonderful piece of art that @mysterious-celeste.bsky.social commissioned! Artist: vgen.co/scio_12 ! No excuse now not to drop a proper cover of Snake Eater. Shouganai. Please give some love to the fabulous artist, and the splendid adorabean that commissioned them!

DAAAANG. IT KNOWS THAT SCHEDULES ARE SOMETIMES MY KRYPTONITE! 😂

Also I just noticed my typo... 😂 absolutely lovely*

My goodness. Look at this absolutely love artpiece of me in a mech that @mysterious-celeste.bsky.social commissioned from vgen.co/g13r ! Please send some love and support to both this wonderfully sweet bean and splendid artist (who is also a sweet bean)!

Heh... Hello everyone! Want to at least let you all know that I AM alive and do miss you all. Even if I'm being held largely at bay by a lot of things but. I HAVE managed to sneak some free time in to work on some covers and other secret projects soooo. There's at least that~

Also the OST was absolutely beautiful. The way Murphy and Fleming used that simple but gorgeous 3 note leitmotif lifted from the John Williams score into a THEME for humanity is phenomenal. Been listening to "Your Choices, Your Actions" and others on repeat.

My goodness! So the Gan 12 UI Smart cube that I'd wanted way back has actually been available for a while now AND is able to connect to a PC app?! I need to get back into speedcubing. Used to be a Sub-45 solver (not very fast, I know). Wanted to at LEAST break into the sub30s.

It's rare to have my beliefs feel THIS validated by Cinema, but I am SO glad I got the chance to watch Superman (2025). In a world somewhat over-run by jaded cynicism, unyielding compassion really IS punk rock. And he's not naiive here. He's been on Earth for 3 decades. Like Waymond from--

Well I was gonna try to do a cowork/study stream, but technical difficulties are giving me a hard 'NO' on that today... Wah...

Litrel Tidelnz! (Hello Everyone!) I’m sorry for having just about fallen off the face of the Earth for a bit without much warning. Settling into a new ‘base of operations’ and setting myself up to properly balance academic and professional work whilst ensuring that I’m at least taking care of--

Just letting everyone know that the drive has concluded safely! 💜

On top of this my schedule is even more hectic for the time-being because some upcoming academics to balance with my work and some corresponding relocation. Gonna be a long drive for me tomorrow! Regardless, I do miss all of you and wish to stream more often again. 🥹

Gonna start this in a few minutes!

Who wants to watch Stealth (2005) tonight?

www.twitch.tv/initialphi/c... Clearly the only way to take a roundabout.

beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea... Oh my goodness! This is amazing! I wasn't really planning on getting into sets but this might totally change my mind. It needs 10,000 supporters to become a reality though! (Literally made an account just to click that support button.)

Hey, Everyone. Wanted to stream tonight but... It looks like my physiology still requires more sleep than I've been giving it... 🥹 I should still be live tomorrow though. Shouganai. Those who've seen me live know that I tend to have a hard time ending stream. Because I just wanna keep going on--

You know what's deeply painful for me to see...? When a friend of mine goes after another friend that they had a 'falling-out' with. For one... There are so many situations where simply having a private conversation where you express your views and offer advice about something you disagree with,--

Anyone else find themselves often giving pep talks in dreams? Like this one dream character that was very down on themselves (severe case of OWCS [Own Worst Critic Syndrome]) and they'd gotten themselves into almost a negative mantra of "Never got around to this, never got around to that,--

Technical difficulties delayed but should start soon now.

We should be able to start this shortly!
