It's become very obvious that I have not been mentally well for some time. I need to seek some help and fix myself. I need to learn to cope with my past trauma and stop all of this self loathing and self deprecation. Streams may be on hiatus. I will try to get better.

I did literally just have a run with a Wee Joker on Plasma Deck that I managed to cut my deck down to 26 cards with more than half of them being 2's. I had the Wee, Hanging Chad, Idol, Juggler, and Trading Card.
I was really close to getting a deck of only 2's but not quick enough.
This year is like 2016 all over again. So many beloved people unexpectedly dying. Can the world just give people a break? Can we please stop killing off all of these beloved and talented people?
Just when I feel like this is gonna be the time where I go far with a Baron Mime run, I get killed by The Plant yet again. No Director's Cut voucher in the shop yet, surprisingly, and no Luchador to save the run.
For real, this. So much this.
I feel this way about so many different forms of media that is just niche, underground, or even just nobody else knows about it. I listen to a lot of music from bands that barely get more than 10k views on platforms. But the music they make speaks to me so deeply.
Whatever it is you create, I want you to take this review, memorize it, and look at it every time you feel bad about your craft. No matter what you make, no matter how niche, no matter how weird, you have the power to make someone's day, week or life a little brighter.
Never forget that power.
View numbers on those platforms really doesn't mean anything to me. What means the most is when I go to the artist's Bandcamp page and see the reviews from other people like me that have fallen in love with that music. No matter how niche, keep doing what you do. It means the world to someone.

The one good thing about AI is that when it finally crashes, all of the billionaires that poured money into it will lose everything they invested. And it will be really really funny.
I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out
To this day, I still feel like The Bridge of Khazad Dûm sequence in Fellowship of the Ring is one of the strongest moments I've ever seen in cinema. Even with knowing the results of what happens afterwards, it's still so powerful of a scene that it breaks me every time I see it.
Out of curiosity I started looking up birthdays of fictional characters. And it turns out I share a birthday with Ankha from Animal Crossing, Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club, and both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins from Lord Of The Rings.
My best Cloud 9 run in Balatro. Got a first shop polychrome Cloud 9 from a polychrome joker skip, and then built my deck around steel 9 of spades with red seals, Mime, Idol, Seltzer, and Brainstorm.
Still couldn't cut my deck to only 9 of spades, and the Idol picking a different card ended my run.
Hoooooly crunch. This was the best straights run I've ever done in Balatro.
Started off with a Holographic Runner, and then two natural negatives, Four Finger and Hologram. Then got Certificate and Shortcut. I had The Order but replaced it with Brainstorm and an ectoplasm made room for Blueprint.
Runner got +585 chips and Hologram got X12.25 multiplicative and was copied by Blueprint and Brainstorm. Certificate and Standard Packs added to the Hologram consistently. Four Finger and Shortcut made straights easy to hit. Juggler helped with hand size. Credit Card was just a useless nat negative.
Sorry to make this into a call out post. But if your mechanical keyboard looks like this, you need to find a new place to eat your lunch.
This is not my keyboard. This keyboard belongs to another member of my household. Who I will not name, but they are the only other adult living with me. Hint hint
Found an amazing Asian grocery store in Pittsburgh called Enson Market. Got some snacks, some noodles, saw a whole lot of gachapon machines, and finally got to try a Crunky bar. You literally open it by breaking the bar in half, it's so cool. And delicious too.
We got it installed with OS X Mavericks. Being that this is a mid-2010 Mac Mini, I'm probably not gonna update it beyond this. Technically it can go up to OS X High Sierra, but I'll see how it is with Mavericks.
Might have to update it. I can't even update the browser to have support to open Bandcamp so I can download all of the music I have.
My main reason for wanting to resurrect this Mac Mini is to have it as a device for storing all of my music files so I have one location for it all.
Y'all should know the play by now.
They start off with whatever seems the most socially acceptable kink to cry bloody murder over, then it's just a hop and a skip and a jump to everything suddenly being criminalized.
Kink content is important. Even the kinks you don't like. Remember that.
Roleplaying incest scenarios in porn will be criminalized in the UK as of next month, 2 years in prison for possession and 5 years for publishing
I don’t know what to say that I haven’t said, this is bleak as fuck
Any UK ABDL furries should also be extremely weary as this law targets you too
When you are unable to do a Baron and Mime run in Balatro, Shoot The Moon instead. With the help of Perkeo copying a Death tarot, and a lot of steel Queens. And coincidentally a natural negative Hallucination for some extra tarots.
Got killed by The Psychic boss blind after rerolling from The Plant.
Quite possibly the stupidest winning run of Balatro I've had. Early game Square Joker got the starter Hex and then immediately got an Ankh and Invisible Joker. Then Blueprint and Brainstorm came alone. Ectoplasm for an extra slot, and then any base mult to fill that slot.
So they’re banning porn featuring cheerleader outfits and school uniforms? Is a plushie enough to trigger this?
This is not a slippery slope, this is just an intentional pipeline to criminalize consenting adults while protecting actual child predators.
The British government is banning pornography that includes depictions of choking, incest & adults roleplaying as children.
The ban goes into place from November 6th.
