Happy Trans Awareness Week everybody. My Dad was Transmasc and died 2 years ago, I cover games he didn't get to play/finish. For today I have done A Year of Springs, the best queer game I think I've ever played. I hope that you all have the best day that you can. ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️

I plan on covering Alan Wake 1 for Halloween next year, I hope by then I'll have the resources to pay somebody to help me with the musical number because the series has some great fucking music and I wanna do it justice. Mind you: I can't sing for shit but I can at least get some instrumentals.

I like how I'm followed by mathematicians and published authors and like, my biggest contribution towards the arts currently are videos where being gay is part of the joke and I sometimes almost cry about stuff.

Wanted to share the playlist of all the games I've Played for my Dead Dad so far, since I could use more views and watch hours. He was a trans dude and I raise transmasculine awareness through my channel.

There's a game I'm tempted to cover in March for my birthday, roommate thinks I might piss off the fan base but like, she's overly sensitive about that kinda thing. It's a beloved indie title and I've just never gotten around to playing it, but the musical number is a reference only my cousin

May have a T-shirt design soon, it's a goofy thing making fun of some sexist asshole my landlord is friend's with. His (landlord) girlfriend has to deal with the guy and was mocking him, said something funny so I'm gonna work on a shirt with that line on it. Gonna have a cool dog on it saying

Thinking of postponing the highlights until after I get the big video out for Kiwami, that way I get that out faster. Morrowind has a hard date I want it by, Kiwami is basically "before/by christmas" basically.

Might postpone doing the highlights until after I get through the rest of the game and am just writing and doing VO, I want to make the most out of my time since I'm trying to make partner by my birthday in March.

Reading about the village I live in on Reddit, people's thoughts on it, and yeah, it sucks being here. Can't wait to get the fuck away one day. The people are festering cunts and it's a tourist trap that hides the meth and the klan rejects.
November 29, 2025 at 4:34 AM
Got caught up on high quality footage for the cutscenes, gonna start playing Kiwami on my own I think tonight. Stomach still iffy at times, but, should be able to get the game done in like 7-10 days or so.

Only today started to watch some Down the Rabbit Hole videos, I've been meaning to for a while. Stuff like that is what I meant by my Old Man was into weird stuff, I am too. Though, normally it's more cryptids and the like that he'd watch. Exploring the meanings and feelings of legends both
November 28, 2025 at 6:21 PM
We need more cryptids doing streams or some shit. End the stream with just "Oh shit, somebody got a camera!" and go all fuzzy looking as you power walk off screen.

After I get done with series, or like, as far as the series is out (Yakuza in mind) I'll do a big video on my thoughts on the series as a whole most likely. Also tempted to one day do specials on other stuff too, my Old Man had a lot of weird shit he was into.

It’s cool how taking an image of the moon at half-moon phase is arguably better than a full moon because the full moon doesn’t show the shadows in the craters so well.
It's nice that if you can't find whatever esoteric astronomical objects you were looking for, you can always just look at the moon, and it's always mesmerizing.

For fellow youtubers, be careful with the scheduling of videos, for the second time a video came out at midnight that I had ready for 5PM. I sent it back to the shadow realm until it was meant to come out later today, just kinda annoying to see that. Don't know what's causing the issue.

Just saw there's a fairly in-depth bard mod for OpenMW now, my character might have to be a bard turned paladin. Been thinking of what angle to go with for them, but a bard sent to prison and ending up being trained by a paladin to be a member of her order? Sounds fun to me.

Not enough flying monsters and shit in fantasy games offer you rides for money/snacks. Like, instead of harassing random traveling adventurers, they should offer to bring you to someplace hard to reach. Birds might like coins, demons might want (small) souls, shit like that.

Recorded and wrote notes for most of the scenes from Kiwami 1 I have unlocked, eventually got too tired to continue. After Kiwami is done I'll begin work on Morrowind, need to mod it and such, OpenMW got an update recently and I need to decide what mods I need most.
November 27, 2025 at 4:03 AM
I've successfully eaten solid food twice today, so, I'm recovering. Just gotta record some cutscenes from Kiwami and write notes before I start playing through it on my own tomorrow most likely. Roommates have three days of thanksgiving bullshit so I have a lot of time alone, I prefer it.

New Highlight video out, I believe I have another one for Thursday coming too. This is all new stream stuff too, not partially reused like the first one was.

Slowly recovering. Might stop streaming Kiwami 1. Don't know when I'll be fully recovered. Writing and reading right now is an effort. Only slept 6 hours or so in last 48. Once I can I'll play through Kiwami on my own, get video out next month. Podcast will be suspended unless special queer
November 25, 2025 at 9:14 PM
No stream today too, I'm still recovering. It seems to have been some mutation of covid from what I've been told, thankfully it was short, though, the trade off is that it was brutal. I was delirious most of the last day or so.
November 25, 2025 at 12:12 AM
I may need to not stream tomorrow night either, this might be a two days of suffering. Can barely eat mashed potatoes.
