Okay I definitely think that one of my computer fans is shot. It tries to spin but will start and stop, making faint grindy sounds and sometimes squeaking. I'm hoping that it just needs a clean and not replacing because if it needs to be replaced I won't be able to because I can't afford to. =/

There's a surprisingly large number of folks I know now who have birthdays in February. Which is great because for the longest time the only folks I knew was just me and three other people lmao

Year of the Honse

Year of the Honse

Zelda 2 upon seeing me enter the Grand Palace

== Stream Time! == I intended to stream yesterday for my birthday but then I chose to stream today instead. Can we consider it a belated birthday stream at this point? Oh well, join me for some Zelda 2 while we figure it out together, lmao www.twitch.tv/guardianofth...

Okay I am awake and eating, will be going live after foods

Today has been a bigger eepy day than I expected it to be. I still plan on streaming but it's likely not going to be until later.

Spent some time with family, now I'm gonna spend the evening with friends. Gonna do a belated birthday stream tomorrow because I'm enjoying just taking time to vibe today. c: Today's been a good day, thank you for all the birthday wishes!

First thing I've done for my birthday today: sleep in. Because I like sleep and needed it lmao. Second thing I'm gonna do? Spend some time with the family.

Opened up my door today to see a storm of balloons floating in the sky. So, it's that time again, huh? Guess that means it's my birthday once again. c:

Just remembered that Super Mario War existed and now I want to see if I can manage to get the multiplayer up and running lol

I should REALLY try to get a community night together with folks where we just play the Unreal Tournament games.

Full disclosure, I have not been sleeping well recently and my has been quite all over the place so there's likely not going to be a stream tonight. Tomorrow, however, is my birthday. And while I don't have anything huge planned, I do plan on doing something. Have a wonderful day, everyone. ^^

Yup, we're working on a new Castlevania game. Thanks to KONAMI, & with Motion Twin's friendly advice, the franchise will be going back to its roots with what we hope to be the best whip traversal & combat ever seen in a 2D action-adventure game! Noooo pressure... www.konami.com/games/castle...

Castlevania fans, we are so back

I think for my birthday this year I might do something small. Not going to do something huge since that would require more prep time that I don't have.

Birthday on Saturday c: Still don't know what I'm doing yet lol

Aaaaand just like that I've considered never touching Discord again.

At the end of stream last night, this is what we were able to accomplish. It's not a 1-to-1 recreation and there were slight changes made as it was being worked on but it's a pretty faithful recreation. Proud of it, honestly. ...and now to figure out how to go about overhauling it lmao

I don't want to see my friend be forced out of their place so I'm putting this out there. If you would like to help out before I go live tonight, here is a link to the goal. Any contributions or sharing around would be greatly appreciated. (Post was rewritten at request.) ko-fi.com/guardianofth...

One of our BIGGEST collabs will be happening this Sunday, February 8th @ 4pm PST/7pm EST! Sixteen Defenders of the Furtified Fortress will show off their survival skills, but how many will PEAK? Be sure to follow all of them to see where they end up (not all will go live)! 🔗LINKS IN THE COMMENTS🔗

Okay yeah, still not feeling too great so I'm gonna call off tonight's stream. Sorry folks, have a great Friday night. ❤️

So I made it back home but feeling kinda icky from something I ate earlier so depending on how I feel in a bit I might move stream to another night. Will update you all when I've figured out what I plan to do.

== Stream Time! == Trying something new tonight, join me as I try to recreate a level I made in Doom 16 years ago in Unreal Engine 5. www.twitch.tv/guardianofth...

Starting soon, just eating dinner rq

Heya folks, I've learned that a close friend of mine is at risk of losing their place due to being behind financially so I'm going to be setting up a goal on Ko-Fi with the purpose of helping him. I'll be talking a bit more about it on stream tonight and will be providing a link where you can help.

This week's schedule is gonna be a bit shaky so please bear with me. - No stream tonight but will be streaming tomorrow. Gonna be trying something new. - Friday will probably start a little later due to prior plans involving being out of the house. - Sunday might possibly be a longer stream.

I'd love to do something honoring iD Software's 35th anniversary this year but idk what yet. Maybe shine some of their lesser known and/or appreciated games? Could always play their well known titles. Just spitballing out loud here, don't mind me.

My birthday is fast approaching and I still have no idea what I'm going to do for it yet lmao

Oh boy.

Hiya new followers! c: Um, I don't know what else to write here. Uhhhhhh...

Markiplier’s ’IRON LUNG’ was #1 domestically on its opening day with $9M. The film has already made at least 3X its production budget.

Wow, so upon further inspection, I actually have a MASSIVE treasure trove of unfinished and unreleased work dated specifically between 2010 and 2020. Some of these projects I remember being really passionate about too. Maybe I should do a whole showcase of it sometime.

I think I may have just stumbled across some of the oldest files that I still have which are tied to my old work, and even then I don't think these dates are completely accurate lol.

Folks, I am both honored and proud to announce that I am a part of wave 1.1 for a brand new Twitch team. Say hello to Furtify! I'm very appreciative and grateful to have been chosen to work alongside other wonderful and amazing streamers as we embark on the latest chapter of our streaming stories!

Okay, real serious talk, do the genAI bootlickers understand that if it wasn't for REAL ART and REAL PEOPLE making the stuff that nearly ALL of those models scrape from in the first place, that their glorified slop dispensers wouldn't even be able to generate the trash they so desperately love?

Okay so after I went and made that post last night about how unexpectedly tired and dehydrated I was, I lied back down and slept for another 8 hours (after chugging a bottle of water.) If you ever needed proof that I was incredibly tired, then that's it right there. XD

Welp, when I lied down to take a nap earlier I was not counting on accidentally oversleeping AND waking up incredibly dehydrated to a point where I've been dealing with headaches since waking up. I think it's safe to say I won't be streaming tonight, I'm sorry folks. We'll do this tomorrow night.

CHAT DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT

Reminder that there's no stream tonight but there will be one tomorrow, and we're gonna be playing a game that I hold very dear to my heart, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary! Hail to the king, baby!

So... that was supposed to be a storm? Didn't seem like much of a blizzard tbh, more like a large snowfall.

Welp, the kitchen chair that I use for a computer chair broke. Again. So I had to replace it with another kitchen chair. Maybe one day I'll have a proper computer chair again lmao

Me enjoying the calm snowfall outside knowing that in a few hours it's going to turn into chaos

From me to you, if you need it xxx #iloveyou #Iseeyou

Good news, the snow from the storm is only light and looks to remain that way until later this evening/early tomorrow morning (also it's warmer than expected?) Bad news, it's gonna be a *lot* when it does get here and it'll stay like that for quite a few hours, going into the middle of the day.

MFW you want to go see Iron Lung but the closest theater showing it is 8 hours away
