The thing I’ve realized about #streaming is I often don’t feel like doing it (because brain weasels) but I’m *always* happy I did & never regret doing it. Glad I pushed myself today. And #owncast is the best. Always.

"King Slop". Is that a thing yet? Let's make that a thing if not. It's a very fitting thing. #nokings

As a Canadian I am *so* happy to see the scope of the #nokings protests. There are places in America I'd love to see again, but not until right wing nationalism is stomped into the dirt. Don't let up. There are more good people than evil.

I'm been debating starting to make #warframe videos myself for some time just as a counter to the edgelord Meta THIS IS BROKEN fire hose. Reading all the whining is pushing me closer to doing it. 🤔

Already the edgelords are complaining the Oberon rework made him *too* strong. Hint: this isn’t for you. This is for new players. Let them on-ramp easily. Find other ways to prove you’re a tough guy. #warframe #hottake

One again DE knock it out of the park with this update. Nokko is *adorable*, and that’s a puppet builder’s professional opinion. #Warframe: where it’s not weird you want to hug a mushroom.

I don’t always make #monsters. I just usually make monsters. #puppets #puppetbuilding

#Showerthoughts time. People misunderstand selfishness and egotism. Helping others is a *massive* dopamine hit. It feels great. I want to be good so I do things to make good happen. Empthy is a gateway drug to an awesome high.

Don't banish your demons. Put the fuckers to work.

#portfolio day you say? Bet you don't see a lot of #puppets. Here's my pinned post, lots more on www.operationpuppet.com. Please do share, it helps. Times are tight for indie artists.

It's been a very good #gaming day. Helped a new player in #Warframe and kind strangers helped *me* unlock ETA for the 1st time. Went on a successful bounty hunt run in my new ship in #EliteDangerous, and played a bit more #JumpSpace, which is feeling *very* good.

A nice day off.

Kevin Blades (Operation: Puppet) 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 @kevinblades.com · 6d

Was hoping to stream some #warframe today but got in from Thanksgiving w/t inlaws late so meh sleep. Still, helped a new player do their 1st Archon Hunt! Feels good. We all lift, Tenno.

As a history buff I can assure you what you’re describing is accurate for just “nun” 😁

The worst part of Diane Keaton passing away is being forced to see all these pictures of Woody fucking Allen in my feeds.

I’m going to have to go back and listen to our old #podcast episodes to figure out how long ago I switched to #linux. I keep thinking “a year” but I’ve been thinking that for a while. I’ll bet it’s closer to 2.

Join #antifa. We have #puppets.

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

We currently have a generation of children being raised on #AI slop. While it will damage the majority, a certain percentage will rebel when they hit their teens.

I welcome the New Luddites who will know exactly what machine to rage against.
