There comes a time in every Mae's life when he has to ask himself a very important question: Do I go back out into space? Or do I explore spooky mazes instead? Decisions, decisions...

I think the only truly AI-free space to host a stream is by doing it yourself through OwnCast, but it drops your discoverability to nearly-zero. If you think you could swing that, it might be worth looking into, but there are very few viable streaming sites for a reason, unfortunately. :(

Gotta love those days when you're at home and bouncing off the walls but also don't want to leave the house and burn that energy in a healthier manner 8) Nothing annoys me more than how self-contradictory the brain can be sometimes.

Seems a little less 'loaf' and a little more 'long john', but who am I to judge something so adorable? :3

I wonder if I'm shooting myself in the foot a little here. I've finally got the bug back for streaming, but school's just around the corner and I have no idea how much time I'll have... ...but fuck it, we ball 🕶

I'm happy to be cringe here - for once I'm proud of myself and I want the world to know it. I'm very lucky to be in the position I am, and I want you to know that every day you survive is another day you win, even if it doesn't feel like it. I'm proud of you and the work you do every day. ♥

Feels surreal. Spent so long feeling like I didn't have what it took to go back to school, pursue my dream job. Figured a life of manual labor was all I was good for. Then I got hurt, and then fired. Said 'fuck it', studied my ass off, and applied anyway. And then, seven months later, I got in.

It is -38C at time of writing. I have resorted to sitting on my floor, wrapped in a blanket. Next to me, a space heater spits a crooked stream of warm, dusty air. I hate this time of year. - n- I hope everyone's taking care and staying warm. <3

I'm not gonna lie, folks. I'm not doin' too well today. I hope things get better soon. In the meantime, I'll be playing some more of The Drifter. I think I can finish it today; if so, I've got something extra planned. You take care of yourselves though, you hear? 💜 www.twitch.tv/maenadiblithe

Purely in the context of introducing a moral dilemma, of course. A moral dilemma should give the players a chance to think about their characters' worldview, and they should be allowed to disagree with other party members. Infighting amongst the players is another problem entirely.

Maenadi Blithe 🔎 @mxmaenadi.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Short version? I don't. If there's a discussion - dare I say, even a rift - in the party, I've done my job as a storyteller. There should be nothing to 'handle' short of the world's response and logic to whatever the players decide. Gotta challenge the players to make the story satisfying.

Heaven. You can visit it; the gates exist on a mountaintop you can hike to. But the underworld, where ALL souls are proven to go, also exists. So if this heaven doesn't gather good souls, what's it actually for? No one knows. No one wants to. It's inert, and they're scared to knock on the door.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

THE SILK HAS BEEN SUNG. What a fantastic game. 100% completion, ~41 hours of playtime. I don't think I'll be picking this up for quite a while, but damn if that ending wasn't satisfying as hell. Absolutely worth the wait, can't wait to see what Sea of Sorrow has in store. <333

I remember when my entire year revolved around Christmas Day. Now I'm getting a little more 'bah humbug' about it each year. It feels increasingly forced, everything's more expensive and half the gifts are returned anyway... I wonder if celebrating Yule would be better. 🤔 Am I alone in this?

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, they've all spent hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure; if it doesn't make money at some point, they're completely fucked. AI will go the way of the dodo at some point, it's just a matter of gritting our teeth and finding solidarity 'til then.

Maenadi Blithe 🔎 @mxmaenadi.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Really easy to forget just how much money AI burns too; the reason it's being shoehorned into everything is specifically BECAUSE OpenAI and its contemporaries are receiving billions of dollars in investments for a product that is fundamentally failing to turn a profit.
