To any new followers: thank you & welcome! I spend my day job doing neat IT things, but please also note that I spend a lot of time here discussing video games, niche VG soundtracks, spandex-suited heroes, & karate bugmen on motorcycles, so temper your expectations accordingly.

Stream schedule for this week! I need a break after this past weekend's event ($15,200 raised!)... and also I hurt my back in the shower yesterday and moving is hard, so no stream tonight. Saturday's stream will be on Sunday since I'll be hanging with friends. twitch.tv/AnArrowReborn

I have joined bsky. Got some new music on the way, new posts to @ocremix.org in the queue, a first DoD entry in yonks, and some other projects maybe 👀. Will also be posting some older tracks that I never subbed or released more widely, starting with this FFVIII arrangement. youtu.be/EzIFkGUyW9U

I recorded a set for this, but you should tune in today AND tomorrow if you can - a great group of musical performers, raising funds for a great cause
Together we can make a difference even if we feel powerless as individuals
Help us help folks in Minneapolis! And enjoy some music!

I just talked on stream yesterday about how I’m trying to stop missing streams, keep to a consistent schedule… but holy crap I am *so tired* right now. I need sleep.

(yes, I changed my mind AGAIN, I'll do Prime 4 as normal tomorrow, but since I was still in FFXIV anyways, might as well just stay there and get some stuff done)

Alright, immediate change of plans! Raid got canceled tonight, we got a couple of folks out. That actually frees me up to catch an 8p meeting I wasn't gonna be able to attend, but I still wanna stream. So I think I'll boot up some Metroid Prime 4 at 9p EST

Better late than never! Weekend streams are canceled since I'll be doing a lot behind the scenes for vgmtogether this weekend. Please tune in for some really awesome music sets and to help raise money for The Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! twitch.tv/vgmtogether

So I'm thinking it best I rest for the night for the mental reset to ensure I'm feeling better by Wednesday's raid/stream

But that would nominally just result in me starting 30-60 minutes late, which is not horrible. The *other* issue is that I'm just *unbelievably tired* right now for some reason, and coffee is doing nothing. I don't know that I could even stay awake through a full stream this evening

I'm trying not to miss streams so often, keeping a dedicated schedule is important, but I'm running late tonight anyways because I need to make sure I don't miss the next Cosmic Exploration Red Alert on the moon on my home server in Final Fantasy XIV
