OMG big hoop earrings are so damn euphoric

Still kind of on hiatus while I work through some things, but I have some time early tomorrow afternoon and I miss you lovely folks so let's hang out and chill in the Arcade.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about how I can help in this moment, and figured a brain dump might be helpful to others as well, so here goes. I'm an introvert. I'm a person who avoids conflict. You normally wont see me at a protest or rally. However sometimes the world doesn't care... 🧵1/15

Welcome new BlueSky folks! I'm Voltanis, a Canadian Gen-X nonbinary trans woman currently living in the US. I enjoy video games, pinball, 80's-90's music, sci-fi, comedy, bowling, and sometimes dabble in music composition. I also stream on Twitch! (twitch.tv/voltsarcade)

Shovelling snow found to be number 1 cause of Canadians muttering ‘fuck this fucking shit’ over and over

Just checked the weather for my area over the next week and... well, I'm glad I chose to wear a skirt today because it's going to be really cold and snowy. Always gotta get in the skirt wearing time when you can, you understand.

This is incredibly huge for Vtubing. This changes Linux from a "I can make it work" to "this is the same as using Windows" for some Vtubing setups. For the most part I believe unless you need webcam tracking most Vtubing software is fully functional on most Linux Distros.

I've made up my mind. I need to get the fuck out of here. Between the increasingly hostile nature of the government towards trans folks and my deteriorating relationship with my spouse, I feel like I need to return to Canada and try for a fresh start on life. ko-fi.com/voltanisnf

May have to put streams on hold while I get some things sorted out. It will take some time.

Reminder that Pepe and Peepo emotes are dogwhistles. Doesn't mean you're a bad person for using them, but they have a history of being used by straight up nazis. The creator of the original character even killed off the character because of it. Please don't use anything related to them.

The last Metroid is in captivity! The Arcade is at peace! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Arcade today, and especially @hexdemonhunter.bsky.social and crew for the raid! I will try to be back later in the week for the start of "Knackuary: The Second One!"

It is Monday, and there's plenty of time for Metroid! We might finish AM2R this afternoon, stop by a bit later for all the shenanigans! Posting the link later when we go live

We're fresh into 2026 and I'm ready to get back to my routine. I have also been pretty frustrated with the World and social media, so I want to get several things off my chest. 🙏🧵

Even though I stream with a PNGTuber model for now, I can absolutely assure you "The Maid of the Cade" will return at some point... Mostly because it's all kinds of fun to just dress up in the costume and be silly for y'all 😁

Drop Fortnite

OMG, I wondered why the house has an odor this morning. Go outside to find out our neighbor put out a squirrel cage trap and ended up catching a rather large black one with a white stripe down its back. And it is NOT HAPPY.

If my brain could stop dreaming about being at work right before I wake up having to go to said work, that would be great.

Slightly diminish a band Heightened Anxiety! At The Disco

Just so you know, the guy who is in charge of one of the most popular games in the world that millions of children play daily is 100% OK with a website that has a tool with the ability for anyone to easily produce illegal pornography of said same children. Fuck you Tim Sweeney.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

OK everyone no stream today, my head is killing me right now and I can barely hear at the moment. I need to rest up for tonight. Sorry about this, everyone have a great weekend and ill see you monday

Endorsement alert! I've just been endorsed by @changetn.bsky.social for my commitment to progressive, transformative change to build a better Shelby County and #Memphis! I greatly appreciate their support and I look forward to transforming power into progress once elected!

When you've been struggling to do a Shinespark in AM2R, finally get it, and the reward is a bit... underwhelming... #Twitch #TwitchClips www.twitch.tv/voltsarcade/...

Twitch streamers, there's a new badness out there that's compromising accounts and switching payout info *despite* 2FA and unique passwords. Confirmed by one of my long-time friends whose acct was ganked after clicking on the OAuth token for a sponsorship for FlowUp. Be careful out there.

I'm getting off here for the night. Will be going live on Twitch a bit later to decompress. Stop by if you want to hang out away from the shit show for a while. www.twitch.tv/voltsarcade

I am devastated and outraged by the horrific killing of a woman in Minneapolis involving a federal immigration enforcement agent, just 4 blocks away from the scene of the murder of George Floyd. This was a profound, unacceptable, and completely avoidable loss of life...

If you stopped playing a game to protest the added bigoted wizard content, just because that game has finished their run of said bigoted wizard content DOESN'T MEAN YOU START PLAYING IT AGAIN!

What's it like to have a partner that respects your time, plans and hobbies?

Sony is so committed to not having any games that they invented an AI *just in case* you happened to find a game on their console somehow so it can play it for you. Keeping you safe from ever having played a video game on the PS5. Their dedication knows no bounds.

Goooooood mornin Booskee!! I CONTINUE my fundraising efforts to get Nacho his medication paid for! We're over HALFWAY THERE! Stream is up in an hour! (11am ET)! We're finishing Warriors of Might and Magic and I'm gonna check out Crusaders of Might and Magic after!

If you stream on Twitch, and you are still somehow OK with Pepe emotes showing up in your chat, I will never go to your channel and make sure you never end up in mine.

Fell from a decent height off a slide in kindergarten. Sideways from the top, that is. Never actually made it onto the slide part. Greenstick fracture of my left arm.

Wearing new earrings today and feeling quite amazing. Transitioning definitely includes those little jolts of happiness and realization. Like, it's a pleasant change of mind to go from "I'm apathetic to how I look" for most of my life to "Oh, these will look cute with this top".

If a person of color tells you you're probably being racist, listen to them. If a disabled person tells you you're probably being ableist, listen to them. If a trans person tells you you're probably being transphobic, *fucking* listen to them.

When we all collectively said "Do Something!", we didn't mean send more text requests for party donations.

The Sword & Board has been approved by the adventuring guild to assign quests. Here is your first one:

can someone please stop america now

Today is one of those days I seriously question why I'm continuing to live here...

Trans people were not born in the wrong body. They were born in the wrong society.

Bet he asked an AI Slop generator to come up with that word salad too.
