my return to d2 will be on the 11th. feeling a bit more energized after my break. we'll hit the expansion pretty hard in december and then re-evaluate my schedule some time in january.

hope you all had a good halloween! dressed up for the stream.

hi @traveldanielle.com today is our 5 year anniversary. something i love about you is that you're the kinda person who ok'd getting married 2 years to the day we started dating so we'd only have to remember 1 date. thanks for being there for me all these years, i love you❤️❤️❤️

whelp, just posted the last destiny video i had before i started my break. it is incredibly nerve wracking to have no main channel videos planned for this long. but goddamn has it been nice mentally. playing some lego party/drunk mario golf today on stream in a couple hours, should be fun!

this past week of streaming has been one of the best weeks i've had in probably multiple years. thank you to anyone who has come and chilled at the stream. i now understand how people can stream 12 hours a day everyday: when you're actually enjoying yourself, it's no problem at all

in case you haven't seen/heard, i'm taking a breather from destiny. i will check out the exotic mission and raid with the buds if/when they ask, but otherwise, i don't plan on playing/posting too much until near renegades. i'll still be streaming normally, just variety stuff instead.

impressed with the epic raid tbh. we'll talk more about it and i'll post kills soon.

surprising lack of card shows in seattle, but finally got out to one today and scooped a couple things. bird trio is one of my favorite cards all time. legend cards are such a pain to find in good condition.

another destiny patch, another day of me wondering what the hell is actually working properly and what isn't. i'm really getting tired of this, man. i'm just floating away.

finally got below 10% body fat, turns out having most of your diet being chicken, rice and broccoli DOES eventually do something.

got a dna test. turns out i'm 100% that bitch. (dressed up for the 10th annual MC party)

honestly have not been doing great these last couple of weeks. my energy is completely gone, my mood has been shit, sorry if that's come across in my content. good odds right now of taking all of oct. away from destiny. it has been terrible for my mental lately. i have no passion for it right now.

cookie video just hit over 100k! it got thrown into the algo over the past couple of days and had a big spike of viewership. always knew it had a chance out there. need to start thinking of more fun ideas for the side channel because i'm basically out.

book video is finally out. spent about 150-200 total hours on this mf so i hope for the people that i'm targeting that it's a fun watch. no sweat if you're only here for some gaming though, this is 2 hours long. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_0v...

yet another hugely successful thumbnail A/B test

Has a vision, had to get it out of my system, I'm free now.

another gcx in the books. very exhausting, especially after an intense raid race and video, but it's always great seeing the buds. looking forward to getting back into my routine though.

raid guide clocked in at 51 minutes, just doing another quick pass of it and it'll go live in a couple hours. i'm on about 9 hours of sleep in the past 2 days. i am insanely tired. thankfully, the insanity of the first week is over. first impressions/raid impressions are next.

while i don't think bungie got everything right in this expansion, the discourse has completed drained my will of everything. i do not want to participate any more. i just want to do my job and go home.

BRIMSTONE IS IN MYCOPUNK! i did a segment where i played the mycopunk demo with the @pigeonsatplay.bsky.social devs and they put him in the cargo bay hub area as a thank you 🥹🥹 he doin a chomp

gonna be afk for this last week before the expansion, taking some time to relax, wrap some chores and going on a short trip. i'll be back the day of EoF launch and i'll be doing the whole stream in my destiny vtuber model, pretty excited for that. see you soon!

newest video going well, hope the footage is good 😬

dunno how much more main channel content i'm gonna have between now and expansion launch, but i did just drop 2 videos on the side channel if you wanna check em. recording the locked tomb video tonight as well, very excited/nervous for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBys...

12 years of doing youtube content and a transition into the next era of the game felt like a good time to upload my 3rd retrospective on destiny, my content creation career and just myself in general. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNST...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW: my wife, who i can't tag here for some reason. i love you very much and i am excited for the next years of our lives together. you've been doing so good with your new career path and i'm stoked to see where it goes from here. also🖕

for the first time in 6 years of doing cosplay stuff, i finally made something on my own. giving myself a 91/100 on it, helped that i followed a good tutorial though. this is for my next big side project: reacting to my first time reading gideon/harrow/nona the ninth (and reading in general)

it's time

it's been a fun couple of months playing blue prince, doom and expedition 33, but i'm getting back to the destiny grind starting tomorrow. content will pick back up & we'll have more destiny streams as we ramp up for the new expansion. had to take a little breather for myself.

just wrapped up the audio edit for the 12 year retrospective, currently clocking in around 63 minutes. i'll be working on it in small bit over the next 2-3 weeks and it'll 100% be out before the expansion. excited to get this one out to people.

you might've seen in the TWID today, but if not: i went to bungie recently to check out The Edge of Fate expansion early and i'm gonna have a bunch of content on june 3rd going over some things that i experienced when i was there. pic unrelated.

12 years and counting. thanks for letting me have a career doing this, it's been fun. looking forward to new projects, i think i'm really starting to come into my own with the bigger, non-destiny projects i've been working.

really dunno what's going on with bungie's vision for rite of the nine dungeon releases. if it was like a pantheon type thing, i'd understand, but dude, just release 1 dungeon per week for 3 weeks, then open up whatever quests you wanna open and let people run wild. why be difficult about it?

accidentally push the forsaken day 1 archive AND my NLB video live at the same time, enjoy both. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WirD..., www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxIT....

took april pretty easy because i knew people were checked out on destiny and that may was gonna be REALLY intense. i wrote a LOT in april though: one of these is the 12 year retrospective video and one of these is a non-destiny video for HD, both not done yet. the nuzlocke was 16k words. (fixed pic)

if you're wondering where the videos are recently, allow me to show some insight. copyright trolls have been making my life quite annoying recently, claiming songs they do not own. one of these is a song from the red war campaign. progress is slow unfortunately, but it is progress.

just dumped 9 hours into blue prince. it took a little bit of time for a couple of things to click into place, but as soon as they did, i was hooked in. definitely worth checking out if you're into puzzle games (with roguelite elements too). big outer wilds vibes.

i think things are gonna be a little slow in april, so i'm taking the time to archive a lot of OLDDD stuff from my twitch archives like day 1s of expansions, raids, etc. i might re-upload some stuff that i've posted in other places too on the main channel just to have it all in one place.

sister is getting married this weekend, so it'll be another light week of content. i figure with the potential rite of the nine insanity coming at some point that i'd just conserve some energy. pokemon video goes live as soon as i get the thumbnail from the artist i commissioned.

i just "read" (audiobooked) my first book in probably about 20 years. danielle asked me to read her favorite book 'gideon the ninth'. took a while, really had to lock in when i was listening, but i definitely enjoyed it and the VO (done by moira quirk) made it really fun to listen to.

always takes some time for me to rev the engine back up after taking a breather. work[ed/ing] a lot this weekend to get it going again: 3 videos prepped for main channel, had to do taxes, had to prep some sponsor stuff too. looking forward to some more variety gaming soon!

i'm back, which means it's time for another... LET'S ARGUE: gimme your destiny (or non-destiny) hot takes, tough questions, opinions, and i'll pick some to respond to in a video. maybe some episode 3 focused stuff? might be tougher since i think people are a bit more happy than last time. hit me.

taking a little mental health break for the next few days, so content will be light everywhere. i'll be back full throttle for act 2. also, the pokemon nuzlocke video has clocked in at just over 2 hours(!), just need to get a thumbnail commissioned. excited for all of you to see it.

they were not cooking with monster hunter wilds multiplayer anything. i have never experienced a game with more friction when trying to play with your friends. this is actually terrible.

don't really run trials anymore because i'm washed, but the boys offered a ticket. tough to argue with the results.

had a great time chatting with mrroflwaffles from the CoD zombies community today about his experiences with destiny over the past week. very refreshing to hear about the game in a different, positive light. podcast is timestamped in the description. youtube.com/live/3U9n12p...

bit of a slow day story wise, but the exotic SMG and attached mission were a very unexpected, but welcome, sight. people seem to be enjoying episode 3 a bit more than 1/2, which is a refreshing pace compared to the usual.

had to re-upload today's video because of an error, it's back now in case you were watching it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf5q...

wow, just played the slay the spire downfall mod for the first time and i'm super impressed. you get to play as the bosses from the game. played as the slime boss and the card design was really fun, even if the vibes are slightly similar to defect. can't wait to play more. see you for ep3 tomorrow!

my game2give 2025 campaign link is now live here: tilt.fyi/QuEc10iLEF. you probably know the drill by now, emblems are 7 bucks, other things are a little more, it all goes to charity. my featured block will be the 28th at 3pm ET/12pm PT, i'll see you then.
