I'm getting ready (and shaking myself awake lol) to do commentary for this! Don't miss this, or any of Hotfix in general tonight! Between ateatree and I's shows, we've got your wednesday night covered!

I've been told it's Telephone/Gartic Phone, but in Minecraft. That's all the context I've been given. It's a @mojofibers.bsky.social and @dynomation.bsky.social segment, so you already know it's gonna be silly and overproduced 🤣

I'm gonna be here with @cunningdolphin.bsky.social, @ambercyprian.bsky.social, @twiliautumn.bsky.social, and @palm5.bsky.social Sunday at 1:10pm EDT for the Ocarina of Time Co-op. As we help to raise money for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. #VTuber #Eldenwood #Charity #Zelda

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 🤣

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

I'll be hosting for Minish Cap on Friday, hosting co-op OoT on Sunday, and later on Sunday night, I'll be playing in The Building Game on Minecraft for this! Please tune in and help raise money for St. Jude! This is what I've been busy all month preparing for!

Yeah! It's apparently on the src guides and resources tabs for the game, and the Cutscene Remover has it's own board on the page. Def worth checking out I think! www.speedrun.com/ffx/guides

There is a cutscene remover mod for the PC version, for what it's worth? I've had that featured on Passion Project and that was less than 4 hours in real time. Could be worth looking into!

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 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!

if you prefer your "and more" to include fast-paced indie platformers, catch Out of the Box on Wednesday as @tghsr.stream runs Mina the Hollower No Joule Syringe, followed by @soaringsloth.bsky.social with an Any% run of Antonblast! Antonblast? I sure hope he does!

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. gamebanana.com/mods/609081

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.

A story in two images about my sleep pattern today.

A discord screenshot at 2:03 PM of me saying: I just laid down to get away from my PC since my eyes started burning, I think my body is trying to make me take a nap
I just need this to not be a danger nap of a million hours LOL

A discord screenshot at 9:29 PM of me saying: I got hit with the danger nap....

Finalflame responded with: I don't think that's called a nap anymore

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I'm definitely not a morning person (unless I was up all night I suppose, lol), so afternoons and early evenings are usually preferred for me! Monday, Thursday, and earlier in the day/afternoon Friday all generally work okay for me, though Jay has a thing on Friday night.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I could be down! I haven't had the chance to play the randomizer (I don't boot Mania super often, despite how good it is). When would you want to do this? I'm a little busy Tuesday and Wednesday night this week but I have some availability throughout the week otherwise when I am awake!

Nobody but Jay and I showed up because all my regulars go to regionals and Louisville is this weekend LMAO Oh well, got to play rounds of the 2006 retro format with Jay for a couple hours, so that was fun.

Another Saturday, another League session on 2 hours of sleep. Starting to wonder if I should consider quitting running these given how incompatible my sleep is with them.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I think this is a pretty good speed, and I'm glad it doesn't actually print the names of the vanilla jingles. This works imo

110

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Okay, that makes sense! I do know that there's sometimes modpacks that will replace jingles (like the voice music packs for S3AIR that Argick, RPG_HiddenWizard, and a few others have made as an example), I dunno if those jingles are called as music though as opposed to just SFX.

110

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

This doesn't call super short jingles like the 1up jingle and such, does it? If it does, I'd maybe suggest have the scroll of the incoming/current song a TINY bit faster? Not too much faster, but enough to get a shorter song/jingle onto the screen before it'd fly off again once it's over.

210

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Ooooh, I actually love this! The fast scroll off when the song changes is REALLY good, too! Really nice attention to detail on this feature.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I'm right back to not being able to sleep longer than 4 hours at a time 🙃 Not entirely sure if I'll stream tonight, odds are gonna be a no since I can feel a migraine trying to happen and I would like to not let that bloom any further considering I have to run Pokemon League sleep deprived tomorrow

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Oh right, there's a purple creme polish in there that I can't remember the name of, but I'm pretty sure was from OPI that we got on discount from a Marshall's.

Some have poor lighting or might be blurry, it's 4 AM I'm not trying to wake him up with the big top light in the room LOL Most of these were swatched over Holo Taco's One Coat Black, Holo Taco's Bring me the Teal, or OPI's Can't CTRL Me.

The game drops for the most part have been immaculate. There's been a couple that were a little lackluster, but we've had SO many new blocks and items coming through since they changed to the game drop system, it's unreal.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

For real, the fact they can be placed on every side pixel of a block with the aid of things like snow layers and the like is SO incredibly good. What a good hecking item they gave us.

require social media to do outreach for my job. Whataboutism doesn't work here, and is just dodging the issues raised with non-essential usage of GenAI in coding, but go off. You aren't the only dev I've been frustrated at, and I said pretty early on I knew I couldn't stop you or change your mind.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I don't own a car nor do I have a license to drive, and there's lines to draw with essentials like a phone for communication with jobs, doctors, your family, etc. While I don't inherently need social media, and actually grow frustrated with the vibecoding of this and SO MANY other websites, I often

If you're concerned about the impacts that AI has on the environment (and the massive pushing of Data Centers and surveillance), and the ethics (or lack thereof) in how these models are trained, be part of the group pushing for change and trying to get the bubble to pop.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

You very obviously have the ability to code and create without the use of Generative AI tools and bots, you made a whole game and several prototypes for a second game with those skills. Outside of your job forcing it on you, where you need to keep a roof over your head, you don't *need* to use these

have the power to better influence the situation (politicians, millionaires, big businesses/corporations) that have an impact. Shrugging and being like "well I alone can't stop this, even if I'm worried about it, might as well engage with it" is concerning.

Amber Cyprian (They/Them) @ Home @ambercyprian.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

No one individual like us will be able to solve the issues alone, no. I'm not expecting that sort of thing. It's the masses of people like us choosing to not utilize things like Claude or other models because of their negative impacts and unethical training models to force the hand of the people who

Sorry again for being massively wrong about your name (seriously, I actually feel terrible when I get a name wrong given how often it happens to my name), though I stand firm on how I feel about AI usage in personal projects, and how I feel about it being used in Time Twisted.
