Do something nice for yourself today: Go check out that local place you've been wanting to visit. Get some ice cream. Stay home and watch that show you've been putting off. Reconnect with some old friends. The little things are important too. They'll be the things to remember.

Apologies for the lack of streams lately, unfortunately that will continue this week. I will be pet sitting and one of the cats gets lonely easy so I'll be spending time around them. The hope is to stream on Friday, but I'm taking each day one at a time right now.

My line of work is thankless. The only time I am noticed is when something goes wrong. The standard is perfection and anything less is not tolerated. Yet I was seen and appreciated by a regular outside of my field of work. They recognized the quality increase since I took over.

This is truly a first world problem, but I'm finding it harder and harder to press "Go Live". This is the busiest I have ever been with work and life. I am exhausted by the end of the day. I look forward to the times I have energy to stream, but they are becoming infrequent. . .

💜A very important lesson! The Difference in DBD. I love playing with my besties @sam2theslaughter.bsky.social and @spookycatkevin.bsky.social. But lawd, I wish I was better at this game! #vtuberclips #envtuber #deadbydaylight

I can choose to complain, I can dwell on the things I am troubled by, but I'm choosing to stay positive today. My day/week/month/year may not get better, but I know it can't unless I try. So today I'll appreciate the good things. I hope you can do the same.

We are having a Spilling the Tea episode with @spookycatkevin.bsky.social July 9th, 8:00 PM CT, hope to see you there!

Deleted the post from yesterday as I believe I did not explain what I wanted clearly, so I will be blunt: I am anti Gen AI and do not support the stealing of artist's work to create something soulless or the environmental impact due to AI data centers. I apologize.

I don't like evaluation forms when I'm the subject. . . "What are your personal development goals?" Brother I just want to do my job well. Tell me what needs to get done and I will work on it tirelessly until its complete. I don't have goals, I just want everything to work.

The itch to do something incredibly stupid is strong with this one. . . Holding him back is an option, but why would you want to do that? Let him run wild. Do all the stupid things. Just be sure to bail him out of jail when the consequences catch up. Thank you and have a day.

Stream is cancelled for now. . . I WILL DO A STREAM LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE. . . Just didn't realize Windows was telling the truth for once when it said it could take hours. Sorry y'all.

Ever wonder how streamers set up programs like OBS as well as plug-ins? 🤔 Well you're in luck, because I'm going to be reinstalling Windows on my PC tonight and rebuilding my OBS from essentially scratch live for anyone to check out. Planning on a start time of 5PM PDT/8PM EDT.

I may of underestimated how long the process would take. I'll keep y'all posted. . .

A little out of left field, but a thought I had: I hope no one turns me into their god. Let me explain. I love inspiring others to create, be good people, do something worth value. I do not want to be idolized. I will do wrong. I could never, and have no desire to be your god.

About to pass out at work. I think everything has finally caught up to me. Imma just lie on the floor for a minute to see if I can stand without shaking.

So...this sucks. TL;DR roof needs fixed, donothon likely inbound because i need help. i think most people in my community know by now that our roof has several holes in it, and the living room and garage leak every time it rains. We had it tarped a few months ago,

I was recognized on DBD solely by a 3 letter word I use in end game chat. . . My name didn't tip them off, my play style, or my survivor build. Just "Mow". If you would've told me that people would recognize me by my word choice before my voice, I wouldn't of believed you. . .

I guess you could call me an influencer or something. I will not be using this power for good.

I had an opportunity to play the Cajon last night, and I took it. I'm rusty and made plenty of mistakes, but a great experience and reminded me of something I once enjoyed: playing music with community. That was the first time I played in 7 years. . . I will remember this fondly.

Last night, I did something I should've done forever ago: I turned my viewer count off. And people noticed. They may not be able to tell what was different, but they could sense a change and the stream was better for it. Curiosity was getting to me, but it was a healthy choice.

I went to work on a day off to fix a program issue that started Monday. Zero progress has been made and the stress is building. Does not help that we're running everything off a Mac and its not my strong suit. Might be a long night because I need it working by this weekend. 🙂

Impromptu Hunt games with SpookyCatKevin tonight! 7:00pm Eastern

I was the reason someone cried today. . .

One small thing that makes my day is when I'm the reason someone laughs. Not a giggle or quick exhale, but a deep, hearty laugh. Where saying "I can't breathe" is impossible. If I can do that, the rest of my day was worth it. It doesn't happen often, but its a joy when it does.

I might have to reconsider my time as a streamer. It could just be this season, but I'm genuinely exhausted. I wish to do more, but with every responsibility I have. . . I'll rest tonight as best as I can, reassess how I feel tomorrow. I don't want it to end, not like this.

Gonna be transparent with y'all: I have an evaluation at work this next week and I'm anxious about it. I have never heard anything negative about what I do, but that does not stop my mind going from 0 to 100. I've been stressing for weeks and its really getting to me tonight.

Y'all. . . She's been glaring at me for a few minutes. . .

I think its time to reinstall Windows. . . Things are slowly breaking program-wise and it'll only get worse with time. I have to keep this PC running until I can afford upgrades or a decent pre-built. Wish me luck cause I'm just going to overhaul and start from a clean slate.

One day I'll believe that I am enough, that I am allowed to live without having to earn that right. Until then, I shall continue to work on what I can and be a better person.
