It's that time again that I plug my ko-fi in the face of likely losing my health insurance next year due to not making enough money to be approved for medicaid.

The context for asking for monthly support is the thread I posted a few days ago. Tl;dr is in 2027 I need to make $580 monthly between all my income channels to maintain medicaid, so that I can keep access to my medications that keep me alive and functioning.

I want this machine now. 3D Blast never gets a moment in the spotlight, it just gets unceremoniously re-released in compilations and never played by people ever LOL
We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'
Right wrist and hand are bothering me pretty badly again despite wearing my brace today and wearing it loosely (just tight enough to keep my wrist from bending at extreme angles) while sleeping.
This is exhausting. 🫠
It has been a super busy month, and I've been spending what free time I've had trying to relax, and also fit in some time with a friend I don't usually get to spend time with, which is why I haven't streamed this month. I *should* have a bit less on my plate soon. ...I hope. >_>;;
Also what in the WORLD has this week been??? It really just was one thing after another. I'm so emotionally exhausted. 😮💨
Anyways, I've got a League Challenge to run today. May there be no penalties to give out!
My NSO Family Plan renewed today and tripped my bank fraud. 🙃
I forgot it was renewing (along with other auto payments like my phone bill and some other subscriptions) and panicked so much until I saw the warning email from a month ago reminding me the renewal was coming (I hadn't seen/forgot).
What was supposed to be a week of reprieve from being firing on all cylinders for two weeks straight has turned into anything but.
I hate that I feel like this so much.
I let myself get roped into experimenting with AI coding agents, because I got told to "at least try it and then you can judge it". I figured it would help me understand what all the fuss is about as well.
And what can I say... I've converted!
...from an AI hater to an AI super-hater.

I love my gay moon level 🥰
Seriously, I'm so excited for 1.1 and Accel Coda when they're ready to drop, this game is still one of my favorite indie games I've played in the last 5 years.
Anyway, I'm hard it work finalizing the 1.1 build (the in-between patch between 1.0 and Accel Coda) for QA and translation. So have an update!
moon level is rainbow road now
Hey folks, I'm looking for spooky and/or intense games to be run on Passion Project on Wednesday, October 28th. This slot would start at ~11:30 PM ET, and needs to be about 1:10:00-1:30:00ish in length.
Will be looking to have this filled by tomorrow night!
Submit runs: gdq.gg/submit/hotfix
I have filled this particular slot, but have received a good handful of runs that I can use for upcoming shows I've yet to plan through November and December! ateatree and I share a show night, so they might also reach out to you for their shows too as we plan pretty collaboratively!
I am *always* looking for new folks to work with, so please, never think you *shouldn't* submit to work with me on a Hotfix show! I love what I do and love having more and more options available! Anything I'm not able to fit into an episode I can send to other showrunners too!

I've been having a little trouble getting a response in my DMs for this episode and Discord loves burying Friend Requests and Message Requests, so please make sure when you submit a run to hotfix in general (my show or not) that you're checking your Discord inboxes/requests!
Let me also be clear with spooky/intense games, they don't have to be explicitly horror at all! This same night between ateatree's show and I have things like Metroid Dread and Death's Door scheduled, which aren't explicitly horror themselves. Morbid themes or mature demographics work here too!
Today's been a nice recharge day. Managed to go out and take some pictures and enjoy the actually beautiful weather, though I now am stuck in a wrist brace since my right wrist was giving me a ton of pain since Saturday. Hopefully the brace helps keep me from aggravating it further.

I am....so exhausted. This week has been incredibly busy, and I'm almost through it! Just two appearances on Zeldathon's Picori Festival tomorrow, and then I actually get something resembling a day off on Monday!
Alright gamers. Due to recent FAFSA changes, I didn't get enough funding between my federal loan and my scholarship to completely cover tuition for this semester - my LAST semester of grad school.
My birthday is on the 29th. In lieu of gifts, help me pay off what's left 🙏🏽

I did the tech design for the Co-op OoT segment on sunday, as we're borrowing FPE's restreaming structure and I'm prototyping a new way of handling the audio for the team. That's why I was posting about committing OBS Overlay and plugin crimes the other night 🤣
Hey anyone out there doing Sonic Racing Crossworlds Modding? i'd like to be able to get PNG's of the machines, and of the gadgets. This would go into the Sonic Racing Crossworlds Randomizer. it's always behind because i have to wait for the Wiki to update with good pictures of the gadgets.
I'll be on GDQ Hotfix this week!!
Running Mina the Hollower - Any% No Joule Syringe on @ateatree.bsky.social's "Out of the Box" at 7pm ET on Wednesday, come check out the run!
I swear I'll stream again soon, I'm just genuinely waking up way too late at night to be able to. Sorry y'all have to wait for my sleep pattern to wrap itself back around the clock.
I've also been obscenely busy this month in particular with some cool stuff that will be happening this weekend!
If you like "and more", following Out of the Box (where I'll be doing commentary for @tghsr.stream's run of Mina the Hollower), Passion Project will be showcasing Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled with @virtual-qso.bsky.social and Star Fox 2026 with @argick.bsky.social as we renew some retro on 10/14!
Got V1.76 out of the Sonic Mania Randomizer.
Changed how getting hit and dying effects your rings, and fixed some stuff. also added a new shorter playlist that's a good inbetween a fast exits run and a normal full playlist clocking in around 45min.

Hey! That means you're getting sleep!
Yes, but when I sleep this late I can't stream because Jay needs to sleep, I can't really do daytime errands, I end up sleep deprived for the obligations I can't ignore or reschedule, and I also end up awake when basically no one else reasonably is.
