VOLATHON 2025 PREAMBLE First, I'd like to thank everyone who supported the Hellywood Theater this year. Without you, this show would not be possible. Your kindness and generosity will not be forgotten or go unappreciated. Even now I'm working hard to get all of your incentives and prizes made and delivered. I'd like to get it all delivered within 2 months at the latest (and please hold me accountable to that). Before I continue, I'd like to personally thank everyone who contributed this year: (Alt text for contributors will be provided in a second post)
So I meant to save this for next week, but a ton of logistical hurdles kind of popped up all at once, and once it went through, I had to jump on it. Yes, you're seeing that correctly. I am now VREX on Twitch. Same Vol, same cursed skull, same frisky fossil. But this is something I've wanted to do for a while now. I like Volasaurus. Volasaurus is and will always be the main skull. However, since I started this channel, the lore and community surrounding the theater, the skulls, and the Meat Puppet have evolved and shifted. With the introduction of my true form, you've gotten a chance to meet the rest of the swarm in a meaningful way. Some outlier favorites have formed. Some skulls have really taken a shine and like to gravitate towards specific games and activities. Volycan makes you laugh. Volorvid has stolen your heart. Volrachnid has only been around for a week and you think they're the cuddliest little guy ™ . Voladon...is a really big sea woman. Gawddamn. But through it all you've come to love them as much as I do. Why not VOLA or VOL? When you change your handle on twitch, even with the partner badge, some names are trickier to get than others. For example, it's extremely unlikely that you'll get a name associated with a banned account. VOLA was one such account. And as for VOL, 3 letter names are a legacy feature that's no longer available to most folks. So why VREX? When we raid out, for the past 3 years, we've always said "Your favorite V-Rex Cryptid has arrived!" and since Volasaurus is still the primary vessel, this felt fitting. But VREX as a name is snappy. It's fast. It's easy to see, easy to read, easy to pronounce. It's stylish. It's still V-adjacent, and it still focuses on Volasaurus, but it acknowledges that the rest of the swarm exists. I know there will be some confusion going forward, but I hope that our shows going forward will prove that I'm the same cozy cryptid you know and love ❤️

"For those of you who were not in stream tonight, in spite of there being over 50 hours left on the timer again (thank you @wheretib ❤️ )we'll be ending Volathon at the end of Day 90, regardless of how much time is left on the timer. I am running out of steam to keep doing this, and I know y'all would want me to take care of myself and avoid burnout, so we're going to have 3 more days of rad content, and then I'll be taking 2 days off next week. Any time left on the timer at the end of Volathon will be added to the beginning of Volathon 2026. In the meantime, if there's any goals you want to achieve (personal or channel), this would be the weekend to do it. Thank you everyone who's been here so far. Let's make this weekend fucking awesome, yeah? (Proper schedule post later today)"

"How AI is Already Quietly Shaping Raccoon City So, what is AI actually doing at Capcom right now? The details, revealed in a Google Cloud Japan article covered by IGN, are telling. Kazuki Abe explained that developers are using generative AI models, such as Gemini Pro and Imagen, to generate “hundreds of thousands of unique ideas” to populate game environments. The application is specific: creating variations of common objects like televisions, furniture, or clutter—assets that are essential for building a believable world but are notoriously time-consuming for artists to model en masse. As Abe’s system demonstrates, the focus is on scale and efficiency for background content. For those following the conversation, Project Umbrella’s translation of Takeuchi's interview provides crucial context, which you can find here."

2025 has been a strange journey for me. I moved into a new home on January 1st, so this entire year has been me living in this room and this office. Y'all helped me get a real mattress so I wasn't sleeping on an air mattress. I made a lot of friends, lost some, and became progressively more comfy and found help due to your assistance. I rediscovered my love for narrative heavy games and became confident in new and exciting ways. I grew to love spending so much time with you all as a community. It's such a simple thing, gaming on Tuesdays and watching movies on Thursdays, but I really do cherish the time we spend together throughout the week. I got therapy, and while it didn't last the entire year, I figured out where I am and where I need to be. And this journey with all of you bonelings has been awesome so far. The Partner Push has gone on further than I thought I would, and it's only possible due to the generous support of all of you. I also made way more progress on new and exciting creative ventures, such as Terrortoma and further work on Skulls in Space! I've learned video editing techniques, and it will get weirder from here. I don't know what 2026 is going to bring, but I'm confident that this is the year that I get Partner and release my first commercial game release. To that end, I've made a short list of resolutions, goals I'd like to achieve in 2026: - Release Skulls in Space (my TTRPG) - Achieve Partner on Twitch and reach a point where I can start giving back to the folks who have helped me get this far :heart: - Get Terrortoma (Body Horror FPS) into a beta state - Release another album (not including the Cursedmas Album I still owe y'all. I haven't forgotten, I just haven't had the time to polish it up as much as I'd like) - Maintain my physical fitness AT LEAST as well as I did this year Not only am I confident that these are achievable, I'm confident that I will do them all. What are some resolutions you'd like to make this year, bonelings?
"I view it as a tool," Howard told Mat. "Creative intention comes from human artists, number one. But, I think we look at it as a tool for, is there a way we can use it to help us go through someiterations that we do ourselves faster. Not in generating things, but we are always working on our toolset for how we build our worlds or check things. I think if you go back 10 years ago, that version of Photoshop, you wouldn't want to go back to that version of Photoshop. That's our view on it," the Bethesda head closed. "But we want to protect the artistry. The human intention of it is what makes our stuff special."
Simpsons meme with the bus driver saying "Don't make me tap the sign" The text on the sign reads "Pirating doesn't hurt the companies you're mad at, it just tells their shareholders that you wanted their product so badly you were willing to do illegal things to do it." The text under the sign says "If you really want to hurt them, buy their competitor's products instead."
