i fucking hate that the bulk of my posts on here have been asking for help, but this is cutting into my livelihood now. my skin's a total mess because of night scratches and other BS and it's a nightmare trying to see my doctor about it since he's a month out.

UPDATE: doctor sat on paperwork for a week but it finally got sent out. But it's still taking forever to get everything approved and scared this won't happen before the supposed shutdown.

physically a mess in the meantime. and will have to miss more work until this clears. please share.

My next trick - rigging a makeshift air filter for the basement and rebuilding the home studio. Have to lug carpeting downstairs and do something about all the dust. Lend me your energy folks....

Have slowly started to put things back together from the flood salvage.

One of the big things was that my folks had a three shelf setup of DVDs/BDs -- most I can't sell since Mom cut the cases into slimpacks

Finally said screw it and got rid of the slimpacks. Less stuff to take back down now.

Newly arranged shelf unit in the hallway - now including items rescued from the basement before the flooding.

Managed to treat myself a couple weeks back and pre-ordered SUPER ROBOT WARS Y.

Game finally released today. I’m an hour and some change in. It’s been worth the wait with some fun surprises so far.

Quick updates:
- Was able to stave off disconnection of power
- Basement dry; had to mop underneath my bed
- No mold behind studio walls, but foundation wall crack is
- Was able to get a friend to help with lawn

Thanks to everyone to supported me thus far. It's slow and steady with the progress.

My buddy's basement flooded over the weekend, leaving him in a really tight spot.

Please help out if you can.

Mach Dent | Emissary of Hell @mach-dent.bsky.social · Aug 12

Survived the storm but I'm going to have to open Ko-fi up again. Desperately need to get:
- laundry baskets
- bookshelf (for rescued stuff for upstairs)
- groceries
- my lawn fixed (haven't been able to mow in months. storms brought in bugs)

RTs/support appreciated

Hate doing this but with the cut work hours, I'm struggling to stay on top of this and bills. Currently living like a packrat with all the stuff in my living room and killing packs of flies that are congregating in my kitchen because of the overgrowth. It's been so mentally/emotionally taxing.

Basement flooded last night. Thankfully, it was only just about an inch and the water is drained, but we’re getting a second round later tonight.

Thankfully, all my VO/streaming tech is safe and undamaged. Currently enduring the right of passage of saving all my collectibles before a disaster.

Today's the 20th anniversary of the podcast that got me started, R5 CENTRAL. Amidst the laser sounds & randomness, it was the show that literally got me to where I am today.

To celebrate, here's a quick look back. Happy 20th, R5. Until the next.
