My voice may be dying but at least I got some pretty tea to help my throat! I tried to record today despite whatever bug I've got and I can't promise how successful it was. 😆

This was such a hidden gem! I love when I can tell the developers enjoyed making their games. They just ooze personality and fun. Indie devs, keep it up! Try not to get lost to the grind. Enjoy the process, have fun! Don't be scared to switch it up! 🩷 youtu.be/SdVEPLET2Z8

PC is back in working order, sorta. We're at the "you've hurt me once and I don't know if I can trust you for a while" stage of our relationship. Here's a dog tax. Rosabella proving her one braincell is doing its best. And Yasha being a princess.

PC suddenly doesn't see D drive anymore. And of course that's where I have my most important things. Haven't backed it up in months. Here's hoping it's a picky cable gone bad or something simple. Long story short... I'm freaking out. I've been working on so many projects 😭

The fact that only 50% of people can get goosebumps from music blows my mind. Same with how not everyone can have pictures in their minds. Guess I'll just sit here and appreciate music-chills as I rotate a 3D pig in the void that is my head space.

This model won't be replacing my main one! I was wanting to make a more expressive mini Awk to use in videos where I don't want to take up much screen or when the vibes work. AKA I had an idea and couldn't sleep until I did the thing. Now we're here.

I swear, there's just so much charm in indie games that so many AAA games lack now. It's refreshing to see the wimsy, passion, and excitement of creation still alive and well. When you no longer create for the love of creation. It reflects in your work.

I just see which ones my videos have on them in the language tab in studio. Then skip around on the video as I preview em all. I've been laughing at the ones it's done in French the most I think. No clue what it's really saying or if it's accurate

I'm not sure on the exact day it rolled out but, YouTube has an AI auto-dubbing in other languages on videos by default. Where it mimics the voice/tone the best it can. I see it in the "languages" section of YouTube Studio. I think there's a way to opt out of it somewhere. But it's so funny.

One Awklet even sent me a spare game code they had. A game they said they spent many hours playing. Now I can say that I've also spent many hours on it, too. Thanks again to everyone for the well wishes and support. It's not something I'm used to seeing so much of. Love you all. 🩷

Last week was a rough one. I had to help my 12 yr old cat cross the rainbow bridge after his cancer got to be too painful for him to eat I stepped away. rearranged the house a bit, did some therapy cleaning, and read all the emails and comments from my Awklets. The support has been incredible.

"Its a cursed wound. It can't be healed" "My magical prosthetic is quite literally better than my arm ever was, why would I go back?" "Idk. I just never got around to finding a healer. It's not that big of a deal. "The healer was new and didn't do it right. Now it healed like this."

In my ttrpg campaigns. I chuckle when I add a scarred or maimed character of high wealth. In a world with magical healing. I have to get creative with finding a reason why they wouldn't pay the money to have a powerful healer fix the inconvenience. "I don't heal it. As a reminder.." is overdone.
