Fundraiser is live on my Twitch. Please share if you can!

Hi, quick TL;DR: My name is Victoria, I'm a black trans woman in my mid thirties, and my heart is failing. I have months of testing to go while they figure out a safe treatment option with as few complications as possible, but eventually I'll be having heart surgery.

Had an echocardiogram on the 26th of September. Results confirm that the aortic valve is damaged and my aorta has expanded to be 5.3cm. I don't have a timeline for surgery, but it's looking like it's going to be sooner rather than later.

I love Blight Club but PLEASE don't give the Nazi's trash a moment of time on GB. Truely terrible games come from real people making them.

So CVS bought our local pharmacy that we use and doesn't accept my insurance. Did they tell me that on August 27th when I initially tried to fill the script for a new heart med? Or the subsequent 4 times after over the last 5 weeks? Nope, not til today do they tell me they don't. Cool.

Thanks to the 379 people who are currently keeping noclip_2 running. We need at least twice as many as that by the end of the month to keep it in the green so if you value the types of game we cover, please help us out.

I don't often post gofundmes, but my roommate passed away on Monday and his ex-wife and daughter could use some help with funds to, you know, get some stuff sorted. If you have some extra scratch maybe throw them a bit, thanks:

We're between Main Series once again, so you know what that means!
But while Monday's has something familiar, Tuesday will have something completely new! Both in schedule and in genre!
Friday, however, is the complete opposite; as I dive back into yet another title I haven't yet finished onstream!

The Smallest Waffle's weekly streaming schedule for the week beginning 29/09/2025:
Monday - Dead Cells
Tuesday - A New Longform Stream Series! (Whatever could it be?)
Friday - Dark Sector (my 2nd attempt at the game)
Streams run from 9:30pm GMT until late (Usually about 4 hours or so)
