Hey folks, Been a bit since the last update post and that's because it's uh been a bit of a year thus far, which you probably guessed from how sporadic my streams have been! Work's been exhausting and hectic for one (in thanks partially to AI...), but also there's just been way too much going on in my personal life like all the time, making it so that even when I have the time to stream, I often don't have the energy to. On top of that we've also just been really fucking unlucky lately, adding even more stress to the mix! For example in the past week alone we've been dealing with: Our kitchen sink being clogged to the point it needed plumber intervention (took nearly a week, but finally fixed now) Kitteh's new phone continuing to have very persistent and problematic tech issues (still working on that, i hate phones!) My PC deciding it didn't want to boot up anymore two days before my GDQ Hotfix appearance, fortunately just the power supply that needed replacing so I'm not bankrupt (huge thanks to the guy from the local computershop for fixing it so fast! Absolute champ!) Trying and failing to get a hold of our asshole neighbour who put up a high pitched cat-repelling device that's so loud that you can hear it inside our appartment, which has been stressing Punchy out a bunch, seriously who the fuck puts that up in an appartment complex... and more! It's been a lot and I'm tired and I wish I had the energy to spend more time on my hobby or to be there more for the many friends who are also struggling, but I just cannot right now. Society is putting way too much on those who are already carrying so much and I wish I had the energy to make that a little better for people or at least give them a fun distraction, but right now all I have energy for is keeping myself and my wonderful partner afloat, who has also had way too much to contend with. Turns out the systems at play will absolutely fail those with chronic health problems time and time again! So sorry if I dissap…

A Kirbo plush, holding a cross, standing next to my freshly decorated new mini christmas tree. He has a thoughtful look on his face, one can only imagine what goes on in there. Does my christmas tree satisfy the spirit of christmas? Will it be a white winter holiday? Can the sins of venture capitalism truly be forgiven? Only time will tell.

Announcement in my discord that reads: Hey folks! Those who caught the stream earlier today know things ended on quite the sour note and I've decided I'm not okay with ending things like that. So tomorrow I'm doing one last All A Ranks run before taking a nice long break from Sonic Heroes! Not really important whether it goes well or not, I just want to send the game off with a bang and today was not that :) As for what to expect after tomorrow: - Freedom Plant 2 Neera Speedruns - Ori and the Blind Forest Randomizer - Some secret third thing if everything lines up Hope to see y'all around!
