I believe we're approaching the end of Esoteric Ebb today. Ragn may be more tired than I am, but we don't have time to rest, not when we're this close. Feel free to chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

More Esoteric Ebb today! I expected more to be down here, so I'm going to keep exploring for a bit. This investigation feels like it's a little bit of a dead end. Ah well. Feel free to chill with The Cleric over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Back to Esoteric Ebb. We don't have much time left to find this witness. I'm going to try to speedrun a dungeon, as soon as I actually find the entrance... Feel free to hang out with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn't get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was barely getting by.

I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn't have much to 'bring' to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say.

'What are you struggling with?' he asked.

I gestured around me and said 'I dunno man. Life.'

Not satisfied with my answer, he said 'No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you?'

I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn't want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial.
Something more profound.

But I didn't.

So I told him, 'Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN'T do them because I'll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can't stand and scrub the dishes.'

I felt like an idiot even saying it.

What kind of grown ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I'm whining to my therapist about dishes?

But he nodded in understanding and then said:

'RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE.'

I began to tell him that you're not supposed to, but he stopped me.

'Why the hell aren't you supposed to? If you don't want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist.'

It blew my mind in a way that I don't think I can properly express.

That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times.

I felt like I had conquered a dragon.

The next day, I took a shower lying down.

A few days later. I folded my laundry and put them wherever the fuck they fit.

There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again.

Now that I'm in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry.

But at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson:

THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

Time to take a look at StarVaders! It's the top rated game I haven't touched yet in my library, and it looks fairly up my alley. Turn based, time shenanigans? Feel free to come chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

We're back in Esoteric Ebb! Last time I seduced a Sphinx. Not sure what I want to do today, but we'll figure something out. Feel free to chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

I'll be out of the house tomorrow, so I won't be streaming. My next planned stream is on Thursday. I'll be doing the StarVaders stream next Monday instead.

Hopefully the internet isn't dying today. But I probably will be. In Project Zomboid this time. Seen a bit of it, finally getting around to trying it myself. Feel free to come hang out over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Back into Esoteric Ebb! No real lead on the man in yellow, so time to explore a bit, I think. Feel free to chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Poik @poik.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Well. All was going well until Snell opened his mouth. Let's see if we can escape from the library this time. Time for more Esoteric Ebb (and turning off the opt-out slop in Security and Privacy under twitch settings)! Feel free to come chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

We're back in Esoteric Ebb and I've just broken up a fight between two collegiate political groups. We'll see if that comes back to bite me. Remember to www.twitch.tv/settings/security. Anyway, I'll be chilling over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

We're back in Esoteric Ebb. Last time I saw the plot and ignored it, ending up in the dungeon alone and very much in danger. Actually died at the end of stream. This time we try getting out, I think. Anyway, remember to opt out of twitch's new shitty policy. I'm here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Poik @poik.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I'm back! And this is the first monday I've streamed this month, so I'm gonna go ahead and play the top game in my library, Ever Seen A Cat? 2! It's another hidden cat game, so it'll be a chill time if you want to hang out and chat. I'll be over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

I finally remembered I was going to talk about the Diives cartoon. I've seen quite a few people have a condescending tone, a few people even saying that they're a drug dealer graduating to a real job, and this honestly ticks me off. NSFW art is art, and there isn't anything inherently wrong with it

For a look at the most often rated games in my library, this week I'm looking at Unturned. The game dev has recently released all its source and it's free to play. But is it frequently rated because it's accessible? Or is it actually worth diving into. Let's find out: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Poik @poik.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

In general, I tend to censor myself online in a few ways, partially because everyone knows my online tag, including my family. I don't think any of them have interacted with any of my online presence, and to some extent, I don't know if I care anymore. I dunno. I'm just tired.

Poik @poik.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

It's time to head back for the final confrontation! I'm finishing the playthrough of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 today so I can finally go watch the speedrun and see what all I did horribly wrong. Feel free to come chill with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Poik @poik.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I'm going to try tackling the Endless Tower today in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. After all, it can't really be endless, right? Feel free to hang out with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

If any of you have been wondering where I've been, it's been a mix of recovering from an injured thumb, slowly working on doodles and Astra Mk4, aaaand most recently this! None of us have ever actually made a game before, so this was a lovely opportunity to just mess around and have fun~ ❤️

Probably should make a move on the Axons today. We probably are underpowered to fight the rest of the neuron today, but maybe that will change. Feel free to hang out and watch me play some Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit

Bit of a headache, so we'll see how long I go. Going to be continuing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 today. Not quite got a rhythm on Monoco's fighting style yet. Perhaps I need more feet. Anyway, feel free to hang out with me over here: twitch.tv/PoikSpirit
