I don't think there'll be a video this week because mental health and life again. Next week is iffy, too, but in large part because I'm going to start seeing a new psychiatrist which will cause some rough times in the short term but should be REALLY useful in the long term!

Things are hectic this week, so I'm not sure what day my next video will be up. Lots of stuff has been/will be messing up my sleep schedule, so I kinda have to do the survival mode thing until I can get one long sleep all at once again But once I do... Marshmallows will be had

Gonna be one or two more FFX2 episodes than I thought. I read that Via Infinito takes 1~2 hours to beat, but uh... I think that's if you run from all the unnecessary fights, and I don't :') At least I have an excuse to eat more marshmallows!

I just finished a whole episode in one day for the first time in MONTHS! Recorded, edited, thumbnailed, uploaded, descripted (yes I made that word up), and ready to go live in four hours! I'm not sayin' I'm fully back, but I'm at least somewhat back and it feels so good 😭

I was gonna record but ended decluttering my SSD. Went from "you monster, how could you" levels of full to "*slaps roof* this bad boy can fit so many gigabytes" And now that all my programs and games are more stable and faster, the YouTubening can continue! (After sleep, of course)

Morning, all! Happy #FallInLoveFestival times~🌺 I played @smallserenity.bsky.social's #FatesMasquerade Demo on my Youtube channel! 🔗👇 to my vid & the fest going on til 9/9. Thank you for any 🩷s & reposts! 😊 🌳 store.steampowered.com/curator/4624... 🍃 youtube.com/watch?v=b1Q0...

This channel rebranding is turning into such a journey of self-discovery :') I was trying to understand why no drawing tutorial or book has made sense to me and I learned about dyspraxia and how many symptoms of it I have. Sucks not to have known, but now I know there are tools that can help!

Four eras. One destiny. This Spotlight trailer is an extended look at my upcoming JRPG Zenogaias, with features such as: Turn-based and ATB battle systems, Encounter Gauge, Zenith system, X-Breaks, the new Mode7HD, and much more! Wishlist on Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/3852790/...

I found out a company is claiming the name Twitter has been abandoned and is usable, and I am SO here for that! I don't know if it'll be good (I hope it will), but I fully support the fight against X For anyone interested, the website is twitter.now. It currently costs money to join, so be aware

Seems like it's been hard to reach new people with my game around here, if you see this, can you share this post so maybe more cozy gamers might see it? 🤗

It took 4 hours to record an episode of FFX2 because of crashes, green screens, and a surprise superboss as a random encounter in a dungeon, and I'm so brain broken I'm on the verge of tearing up Lesson learned, the overwhelm needs to be listened to even if I really want to work on a video

I've always wanted my channel to be a safe space for everyone (except bigots, they get booted) So when I was looking at other analytics and saw 97% of my viewers who list a gender are male, I was shocked The new major goal of the rebrand: Make the inclusivity clear. If I lose viewers, so be it🏳️‍🌈

are you looking for a game about teen wizards going to a school that DOESN'T directly hurt the trans community? YEAH! US TOO! That's one of the reasons we're making ✨Moonstone Academy✨, but while you wait for that to be ready (it's gonna take a while), here are some other recommendations...

Drawing practice tailored to ADHD and accompanying fine motor control problems is going well but is making me surprisingly sore! Six minutes of drawing lines using the little muscles it turns out I've never used properly and my arm was hurting in entirely new ways. Definitely gonna be a long process

The rebranding planning has begun! It's gonna involve more new art than planned with a BIG revamp of the Squirrell themself, so I'm starting some ADHD-friendly drawing exercises to get myself ready and finally improve my fine motor control issues^^ It'll take time but I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited!

I had energy to record a video, but then I had an OCD spiral that drained me. Sucks I couldn't record, but recognizing that I was spiraling, pulling myself out, and resting instead of making it worse by trying to push through is a HUGE mental health win and I'll take it^^

Update time! 1) Sleep has been bad, but I think that's the last hurdle of the ADHD burnout times ^o^ I've learned a lot about myself, changes I need to make for my life in general, and how I want to do things on YouTube, but I am SO READY TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AGAIN PLEASE AND THANK

Still looking for work! If you need an artist for your game just call me 😊

I've had one of the roughest periods of my life recently. And I think, technically, I still am, but at least I'm getting near the other side

Update time! 1) Still have ADHD burnout post to make. I was too burned out to before, but was too ADHD to remember that affects posting :') 2) I'm pretty well recovered, and I learned SO much about myself from it 3) Gonna do some little tweaks to video making and branding, but it'll be good^^

I've hit another ADHD burnout wall (the last couple weeks were extra mentally draining), but I'm approaching it in a very different and much healthier way this time! When I have the energy, I'm gonna make a post on Patreon about it (free, of course), but that might take a bit~

WIP Ocarina of not time style mechanic cause I don't want Nintendo sending me angry letters. Totally different mechanic that allows you to see into the past if used near the correct spot. #gamedev #indiegame #jrpg #llewlsucks
