Happy PRIDE, my LGBTQIA+ family! Be you out and proud, or closeted and waiting for safety or the right moment, you are LOVED and wanted. Be here, be sound, be safe, and be true to yourself as best you can.

Just finished up an impromptu, stealth way-too-late-night stream of FFXIV PVP OMG! just because I wanted to keep the schedule-ish. No advertising it, no nothing, just a twitch go-live. Didn't have much energy to do that, but it wouldn't have made much difference, I'm pretty sure. VOD's up now, tho!

NO STREAM TONIGHT! I'm not at my best health-wise and I'm not feeling up to it. Apologies if you were waiting for it. Health Permitting means what it says on the tin. <3

"Sleight of Hand" by Pearl Jam, the neo-psychadelia that came out of NOWHERE on Binaural, about being so awash in routine that you don't remember if you lived it, or if you moved from home to work to home by sleight of hand.

The START of FFXIV PVP OMG!'s Series 11 episodes gets off to a good start tonight with a good ol' fashioned Frontline! It's Shatter, where crystals take damage, enemies take damage, and if you're smart, you DON'T take damage. It's FFXIV PVP OMG! Series 11 Ep 1 NOW UP on YouTube! youtu.be/aHiSL_Yw2P8

HUGE Lakers Fan, lived in SoCal my entire life, Chick Hearn is my idol and why I got into broadcasting in the first place (5 years in radio, 7 years in television). *deep breath* Kobe was a horrible person. Just... a horrible, horrible person that got away with a lot of it because "Mamba Mentality".

Folks, I'll level with you, I completely spaced on the fact it was Tuesday today. Between yesterday being a holiday, having a substitute caretaker today, and not having anything ready for a video tonight, we'll just call today a Wash. Way Too Late TV will be back Thursday night at 7pm Pacific.

Hi folks, this is my friend Kathryn Reynolds, whom you may know, or you may know her husband, Xero, aka Artificer Industries. They'd love to get a high quality printer to sell nice prints they make (check the thread here), & free them from preprint shops. If you aren't able to donate, please share!

AYYY, general great news here in OC! The threat of explosion of a toxic chemical tank is "eliminated", although the 40,000+ people evacuated may still need to be evacuated for a bit longer. The aerospace chemical company is about to get sued back to when life exited the ocean to walk on land, too.

Going LIVE at MIDNIGHT PACIFIC, in about 15 minutes from RIGHT NOW WHEN THIS IS POSTED, with an EDITING stream! Sam's putting together the FIRST episode of Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: Tactics on-stream! Get an advanced look at it at twitch.tv/WayTooLateTV tonight!

It's my birfday today! It's also my best friend's birthday today! We were born different cities, same geographical area, same day, same year. Met each other 25 years or so later via City of Heroes, and have been voice chatting almost nightly ever since with other COH friends for the last 15+ years.

LIVE NOW on Twitch.tv/WayTooLateTV !! Birthday Stream! Catch it soon!

So, there's a THING happening here in Orange County... ESSENTIALLY there's a toxic chemical tank in crisis. There are only two options: It'll spill, or it'll blow up. And they JUST put out an update that "It'll blow up" is the only option left. If you were just at FFXIV FanFest? This ain't too far.

Three 'Mechs down, no ammo left, just Justice in a punch-bot. Still two absolutely STACKED 'Mechs to get through to get to the other side of this thing and save the mission. CAN SHE DO IT? It's the SERIES FINALE of Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: 2nd Strike! NOW UP on YouTube! youtu.be/aRpAgpBlZ5U

"Why Sam, aren't you supposed to be getting a CT scan?" YES, I WAS supposed to have gotten a CT scan, but MODIVCARE royally dropped the ball and didn't get a ride for me in time to be there. So, CT rescheduled in few weeks instead, and we'll be using a ride company that HASN'T fucked me over twice.

You can select your videos (long form and Shorts) from your YT Dashboard, Select All and Edit the remixing options in bulk. However for short videos, there is no "No" option. Similar to TikTok's audio becoming a sound for others to use, your YouTube Shorts audio can be used the same way by others.

HUGE Congratulations to the Montreal Victoire on winning the Walter Cup in the Professional Women's Hockey League, which is expanding to 4 more cities next season! HUGE growth for that league, and it's really, really exciting to watch. There was even a Jailbreak* goal in tonight's finals game!

My friend Dee needs some stability, with an injured leg, just getting her power back on, rent paid, and time to breathe, but she needs to just scrape some cash by for a grocery trip. Like she says, anything from $5 to just a reblog helps. She's trans, and an author, leatherworker, and tattoo artist.

Richter Scale Co facing 2 BRICK HOUSES of each of the Bounty Hunter & Black Widow Co's 'Mechs, with more advanced gear than theirs, PLUS, they're running out of ammo AND are down a 'Mech. It's the 2nd to last Ep EVER of Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: 2nd Strike! NOW UP on YouTube! youtu.be/aFkHxKgMouU

HEALTH STUFF! So, I have an Open CT scan scheduled for later this week, at a satellite doctor's office, NOT a hospital, because that is where the specific Open CT scanner is located. When we get the results of this, we will know WHAT'S going on. Growth, retaining edemic/other fluid, etc. (Continued)

Going LIVE on twitch.tv/WayTooLateTV RIGHT NOW with Final Fantasy XIV -- Expert Roulette and then FFXIV PVP OMG! Casual Crystalline on Crystal! 1-Hour Stream (more if health permitting) so be there!

Way Too Late TV update, for Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: 2nd Strike, eps 59-B & C! I've been just absolutely SLAMMED with doctor's appointments, visits from people that can help with stuff, and caretakers and Poser of Attorneys, that I can't edit in a timely fashion. NEW EPISODES PUSHED BACK A WEEK!

My trans friends, chosen family, and loved ones will always, ALWAYS be held INFINITELY more highly in my heart than anyone that regards this president or those he appoints. HE & HIS are the only ones here hurting or planning on hurting Americans. Show out for your trans siblings, folks. It's needed.

Stream is up, timer is going and we’re gonna get our green thumb on! Thanks to @silverstringmedia.bsky.social for Sponsoring today’s stream! #Ad #Sponsored Twitch.tv/cypheroftyr

Going LIVE right now on twitch.tv/WayTooLateTV with some #FFXIV PVP OMG! for just one hour, showing off the new Crystalline Conflict map set in a giant library, Archeia Harmonius! Plus, just talkin' with chatters after so long out of live-streaming. Come on out!

So, I kinda neglected to mention it, but I spur-of-the-moment did a Stream on Twitch at midnight pacific today. It went great! Because I have no more night shift of caretakers, I think it'll be a normal thing from now on. Because of pain, I can tend to only do 1-2 hours at once, but it's still fun!

Donothon Monster Hearts game with the players in the TransXP TTRPG crew! I've donated the previous session and banned the words "Roll" and "Room" and if someone says those they get a condition from the GM.

The Black Widow. The Bounty Hunter. Commander Shelly & Richter Scale Co. Only one can walk away with the win and their MechWarrior(s) alive. Who wants to be THE Badass today? First part of the FINAL ep of Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: 2nd Strike, Ep 59-A! Now Up on YouTube! youtu.be/Ldc1oyQcMCY

Now with alt text from original post. And for my Californian friends, "Pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow!!" (Hey, it's not what it was, but what it sounded like!)

It's the start of the last episode of Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: 2nd Strike. A prologue, a preamble, a prelude to the end. Setting the battlefield for the UNIVERSE'S MOST DANGEROUS MENAGE A TROIS. It's Bite-Size BattleTech EX2S, Ep 59-?? - Prelude to the End! Now on YouTube! youtu.be/FhF_D_KNlEs

Also, 'help us quit?' Antidepressants aren't cigarettes. They're not something you get addicted to, any more than a diabetic can get addicted to insulin. This is asinine.

I also have schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. I'm lucky enough to not need my antipsychotics right now, but the depression is ever-pervading. I'm barely held 10' from the cliff's edge by what I am still on (and my ESAs). This 'policy' is a death sentence for way too many.

I've been mostly stable for about 15 years on a mix of abilify, lamictal, geodon, tegretol, lexapro, and most recently, caplyta. I have schizoaffective disorder, which is kind of like a mix of bipolar and schizophrenia (but mine is "disorganized" instead of "paranoid" schizophrenia) (continued)

It's the FINAL TWO WEEKS of Bite-Sized BattleTech EX: 2nd Strike, and we're going FULL THROTTLE, both slots per week until the thrilling conclusion! Tuesday AND Thursday at 7pm Pacific, Episodes 59-?? (a Prologue) and 59-A this week! ALL on youtube.com/WayTooLateTV

2 patently great games in Detroit's comeback and RJ Barrett's game winner for Toronto, and the Lakers eliminate the Rockets in Houston, doing what most thought they couldn't (although threats of being the first to lose from 3-0 were wafting about) -- FUN night of basketball! #nbaplayoffs #basketball

The Detroit Pistons might just want to win after all. What a SHOWING! Down 24, now on a 45-15 run against the Orlando Magics, and Orlando has gone absolutely ice cold from the field, having missed 17 straight in the tail end of the 3rd quarter into the 4th. Generational meltdown. #nbaplayoffs

The riff-raff that stand in the way between Richter Scale Company and the Dobrev are on the chopping block, and Richter Scale is about to play Ted Allen. That's a joke only a few will get, but it's a cultured few. Bite-Sized BattleTech EX2S: Ep58-B: "Annihilation" UP on YouTube! youtu.be/KJELTxcs3sY

"The Knicks fans in the audience are getting tired of applauding" Yeah, that'll happen when your team's got an 83-36 lead at HALFTIME, the most powerful drubbing at halftime ever seen in the NBA playoffs in over 7,300 games recorded. Sweet Biscuits! #NBAPlayoffs #ATLvsNYK

WayTooLateTV update: Had a few un-scheduled Doctor appointments in-home a bit ago, so FFXIV PVP OMG! is a bit late. Working on the finishing touches now! It'll be up when it's up on youtube.com/WayTooLateTV

Dee's one of the most skilled and talented people I know. Check out tormentedartifacts.com for all her kick-ass wearables and readables, or if you have the money available (in this economy, it's appreciated, I know) help a trans woman with her rent. If not, a signal boost is always helpful!

Fanfest friends, make sure to make sure.

I'm shooting my shot here and saying CRUSADER for the new Tank job in FFXIV's new expansion in January. Greatshield and either mace/flail. CSR for short? YoshiP's shirt (that is always a hint) said "GUESS WHO'S BACK!" with a picture of a dude with giant shields on his arms, so it works out, I think.

So, I wasn't able to go to the Grinding Gear FFXIV FanFest meet-up... IN PERSON. HOWEVER, Nau'la, a fantastic person, volunteered on the GG discord to "Ironmouse" me in on a discord video call to say hi to folks and meet the hosts, @garrettart.bsky.social and @kylefergusson.bsky.social -- and I DID!
