Just an update on life.

TLDR: We're streaming this week come hells or high water. Daddy isn't going down without a FIGHT!
cracks knuckles and neck Alright, Imma not beat around the bush. You mighta noticed I haven't posted a schedule yet, right? Well, I wasn't going to. APPARENTLY, until they finish the line work and replacing the poles, they can't do anything about my internet. That got me down. That got me frustrated. I hate not being able to stream properly... So I wasn't going to stream this upcoming week. Fuck that. I'm not going down without a fight. This week's schedule will be IDENTICAL to last week's... because I refuse. So yea, streams might be interrupted. Streams might go down now and then. We're gonna power through regardless. So I'll see YOU Tuesday for more Legends Arceus!

Just a quick update now that I have power again...
Hey folks, as some of you know this week has been.... unreasonably bullshit for me so far. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. Instead of hemming and hawing over plans with uncertainty gnawing at me, I'm going to cancel streams for the rest of the week. Luckily, I should have some answers from my ISP by the end of the week. Love ya, take care of yourselves, and enjoy the Shorts/Tiktoks in the meantime!

It's been over a WEEK since I went on vacation!

But I'm back TONIGHT in 30 MINUTES over on the purple site chattering about the insanity of NON-STOP CONSTRUCTION WORK, POWER OUTAGES, and maybe some Minecraft!

I'm back, people! New schedule too!

WE'RE OFFICIALLY ENTERING OUR TRAINING ARC!
SCHEDULE 11/3 - 11/9 === 8PM EST Monday - Saying goodbye to the Addams Tuesday - Minecraft Skyblock+ Wednesday - Minecraft Skyblock+ Thursday - Minecraft Skyblock+ Friday - Horror Gaaaammmessssss Saturday - ✨ Shiny Sub Saturdays✨ Sunday - Returning to Slumber I'm even EARLY with this schedule! Who'da thunk! Hi peeble! I'm alive again! Hopefully everyone had an amazing Halloween because I know I did! I'd love to say this week was a much needed break but instead I was plagued by family, power outages, construction outside my window and other various annoyances. But it worked out for the best realistically! While there's no stream Monday, Monday does start something special. I was planning on doing a 90 day "shorts" challenge where I upload everyday to Tiktok, Insta, and YT Shorts. So I sat down to come up with a plan and some scripts! I might have overdid it. I may or may not have 6 months of ideas + 50 odd scripts written.... Don't judge me. kbai!

There's a lot of chatter and discourse over male vtubers right now...

What can I say? I love the way I look even if it isn't everyone's taste.

A Message from Vamp Daddy:
I've been seeing and hearing a lot of discussion lately about people using adblockers and third party extensions in an effort to get around the Twitch advertisement system. I just wanted to make my stance clear. The world is an insane and shitty place right now, people are hurting for money, people are losing jobs, and people are fearing for their lives. Because of all of this, and more, I DO NOT CARE IF YOU USE AD BLOCKERS OR EXTENSIONS ON MY CHANNEL. Yes, this is my livelihood, but like I always say, the entertainment is free. If I can help you escape or find joy and safety for even a moment, I'm doing my job. The only thing I ask in return? if you're enjoying the content; Follow, Clip, Share I could never ask for more. Be kind to yourselves and others.

We had a pretty MAJOR announcement on stream last night that has been a few months in the making.

I'll admit to both being excited and terrified at the same time, but I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you all!
As of October 1st, I am now doing content creation full time. What does this mean? This means things like streaming and Youtube are going to become my primary source of income. It also means I'm going to be working night and day on growing our little community, streaming more regularly, posting videos more regularly, uploading shortform content, etc, etc. For you all, nothing much is changing except likely seeing me a lot more as I whore promote myself and work to grow my platform. It also means I'm going to try and be a lot more active in our community and the Discord as well! This past year has been trying a lot of new things; some worked, a lot did not... But I'm excited to see what we can build together! Especially now that I'm not going to be half-assing it anymore. Love ya, 8-Bit

Sometimes you try new things and they don't work out. There's nothing wrong with that. You learn, you grow, and you appreciate what you've done in the past.

I've tried a lot this past year... but I think it's time to go back to basics.

And then, on FRIDAY at 4PM EST we'll have an EXTRA LONG STREAM where I'll be streaming REPO with Smuggiess, Zuu, and some others... BUT AS A DRINKING GAME!

Hot take:

Bidoof should get a mega-evolution.

Not Bibarel.

Bidoof.

Make God Bidoof a thing.

So I finally broke down and picked up a Switch 2. Last night, wanting to see how different the feel is in Pokemon scarlet, I decided to run around for about an hour and a half...

Here's the SIX RANDOM SHINIES I've found doing it

Back to streaming in less than a week!

It's been a nice couple weeks off. But I do miss streaming!

I also have the urge to do something INCREDIBLY stupid... And I'm not talking about doing myself this time!
