As everyone else is, I’ll do a reintroduction skeet for the new folks to the skies. 🫶

I’m Vanguard, but friends call me Van. I’m a PhD student in the U.K. studying the furry fandom and safe spaces. I also stream somewhat adequate gameplay on Twitch. All my nonsense can be found in my bio links. 🐾

I do love the real breadth of play styles amongst the weapons in the game. Like I’m not normally a player that evades until I can connect with a big hit, but the axe has just gelled with me.

Vanguard, the Husko @vanguardhusky.bsky.social · 3d

I found my weapon of choice (the axe in the Aspect of Thanatos) and stuck with it until I prevailed.

Finally defeated that smug cunt Chronos in Hades II last night for the first time. I would have done it sooner but my magpie ass kept being distracted by all of the other things to do. What an incredible boss encounter.

It sure is enjoyable to watch the CEO of Bluesky continually - and very publicly - shit the bed.

It has been a while since I had a stream schedule graphic, but had some inspiration for Howloween.

Tue - Elden Ring: Nightreign with @mjames84.bsky.social
Thu/Sun - Soul Reaver

7pm UK | twitch.tv/vanguardtheh...

Stream schedule graphic under the heading “Tails of Terror” in a Halloween themed font. The image has Raziel from Soul Reaver, the archer from Elden Ring: Nightreign, and is accented with splashes of acid green. Games, days, time and Twitch link are in the post text.

Tonight we start Howloween 2025 and we’re playing a game I’ve never finished before … Soul Reaver! I always got stuck and couldn’t work out where to go, so will this be the time? 7pm ish - twitch.tv/vanguardtheh...

At what point do we actually revolt and tear this fucking thing down. Which reach by this fascist dipshit government will be too far?

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

I think I would be surprised if Kier knew anything about anything.

Sure, it might have been ran by someone that I clocked immediately as what I could charitably describe as a lecherous egomaniac, and it was way too loud and busy for my audiosensitive anxiety, but I found a community there, and friends, and I’m thankful for that.

Thanks for the memories, G-A-Y. You were a pillar of my life for a while in my teens and early 20s, and one of the first places I felt comfortable enough to be who I was at the time.

This sucks, and I really do think the straightification of Old Compton Street will get so much worse without GAY anchoring the area...

Currently dog sitting for my mother, and ruining the algorithms for her streaming services by watching several shows that have been recommended to me. I had to do something mean to counterbalance the good. 🤣
