Came out a tad short, but oatmeal bread was a success. Consistency reminds me more of a biscuit, but with a more breakfasty taste. Would probably be good with peanut butter and jam. 🍞

I may be uploading fewer series going forwards, as I want to focus on "traditional" 100% Let's Play runs for single-player games, instead of primarily blind playthroughs. But that doesn't mean I'm out of games to choose from yet!
And of course this list will only grow as I try new experiences.

I promise I'm making progress towards my anima weapon in Heavensward, there's just a whole lot of tomestone grinding to do in the background. (I'm halfway there!)

Already finished my first personal backlog game of the year, as it was a short one - the original Portal.
Definitely a bit trickier than the second game for sure, and having you think outside the adorably musical box [🩷].

Spent most of the year in and out of hospitals, so again, I didn't reach my goal of 10 finished entries. Though I did 100% KH:DDD as something to do while not feeling well (pet *ALL* the critters!).
Going to focus more on just playing games in my own time in 2026.

Last-minute entry for games in 2025 was Oxenfree. Picked it up last night when the blizzard was messing with my power and I couldn’t sleep. Added to the uncanny dynamic of it, actually.
Fun little mystery game that reminds me of classic point-and-click scavenger adventures when played on a tablet.

It’s a tad unnerving watching the pressure drop like this when everything is absolutely still outside. It’s the winter equivalent of watching a hurricane roll up on the horizon.
We already had an ice storm over the holiday, but now we’re expecting a heavy blizzard to roll in too.

I thankfully don't have to use it often, but I threw some rude asshole in there this morning and he's leaving like 10 (I can only assume very melodramatic) comments per hour. Dude must be losing his mind in the void.

Was warned that Kingdom Hearts: Fragmentary Passage was more challenging than usual, so I did the first run in my own time. (I might do this more often in the future to provide more insightful commentary).
The LP will thus be in Critical Mode, with most optional side objectives already done.

I’m back from surgery. Had my stomach, and both large and small intestines biopsied. 🔬🏥🩹

So...I may have secretly been working on the Platinum trophy for Kingdom Hearts DDD behind the scenes.
Levels and Flick Rush are both maxed out, so all that's really left is maxing out all spirits skills/affinity (which I'm about halfway done with), and then streaming the secret portals/bosses.

I used to do this a lot with homework as a kid too. I wanted to get good grades, and I could even be interested in the subject material. But after a long day, I'd fully intend to do homework (no distractions), get my name/assignment title on the page and just...zone out. For the rest of the night.

Unfortunately, I and other creators cannot control what ads appear on our Twitch channels whatsoever. And we don't have full control on YouTube either.
HOWEVER, for fellow creatives, we CAN try at least to block specific ads so long as we know the URL, or what categories bad ads are coming from.🧵

Temps are pretty good too, so it doesn't seem to be overheating. Even while streaming, my PC usually runs at temps of:
CPU: 32-50°C
GPU: 55-75°C
Coolant: Always around 30°C.
If I had to guess, I'd say there's a bubble in the radiator (weird with a ceiling orientation/age), or it's a fan bearing.

Here’s what it sounds like (usually) while not under any sort of load.
Nice and quiet. And sometimes lightly tapping the top or putting a small rock above it also gets it to stop. All screws are tight, and I doubt there’d not be enough coolant after only a year?

Really wish I could get my PC to stop grinding like this. It’s done so for about a year after I got it. It’s not the pump, as the sound is coming from either the radiator or top right fan. And I’m terrified to disassemble it, lest I break something and can’t go back. As this thing is so fickle.
