"But you have the infrastructure for it." No. No we don't. Not in rural areas at least. Still deadly cold as shit. Can't leave our houses. Pipes risk bursting and we can't run water without electricity. We just hibernate until it's over and repair afterwards. Sometimes with power, sometimes without.

Because I'll be real, if identity verification becomes a thing, at least in the early, unstable stages of it, I'm probably just going to abscond from most social media. Possibly delete all my accounts.

My mental health literally can't deal with that. I might keep Twitch and YT, but that's it.

So Genshin, Star Rail, ZZZ, and FF14 will see little if any changes to their current upload style or frequency.

Xenoblade DE is also a 100% run already, so it will continue as is.

But a combo of my own enjoyment and initial channel reception will determine what I fully LP going forwards.

I'll still be featuring demos and "First Impressions" of the first few hours for when I *start* a new game. I'm just not obligating myself to play the *whole game* on livestream anymore.

MMO's and liveservice games will still be blind playthroughs though. As I can only (reasonably) play them once.

Games are to have fun with. As long as you have fun too, that’s all that matters.

And of course insurance already tried to deny me access.

Dr: "I'm prescribing you these meds."
Insurance: "You can't have these meds without a doctor's explicit permission!"
Me: "...I need you to think about what you just said for a second."

(I did get the meds. The clinic was quite annoyed.)
