What I might do is just, off the cuff, talk about each episode (the game is structured as episodes) and have those be the segments in the video. I wouldn't call the game outright bad but it doesn't have a place in my heart like Kingdom Hearts 1 has had or Undertale got from me playing it.

better and get yet more interesting and while Alan Wake 1 has some interesting stuff I'm struggling to feel like I'm drawing important stuff to say about what happened in my playthrough. It didn't make me cry, feel introspection or anything critical that other games have that make me write a lot.

Struggling a bit artistically speaking with Alan Wake 1. I'm basically just not feeling it to the point I was having trepidations about reading the script for VO. Spent a week so far on it, I might try a different format just to get this out. The later games in the Remedy Connected Universe play

Roommates got a song playing on repeat or something, there's a section that sounds like somebody knocking on the door. Kept worrying somebody was outside until I left my room a bit ago.

is just too good for me. Too funny. Ancestor worship was my original plan a while ago but I might have something that ties more into what I want to do to help the world and the people within it, at the very least those that fall under the umbrella I find myself under.

to me that I'd need to make something the fuck up. But yeah, I've got ideas that I could run with, the legal and fiscal benefits of a church would help a lot with my long-term goals and take advantage of the title I already paid for. The irony of a non-believer doing more than the average priest

need to come up with a "legitimate" reason for it, like, what it believes. It can be utterly fictitious, pasta-related or no, but it needs some degree of bullshit to be believed in. Can't just have a church for no "good" reason, you need to present something fantastical in some manner. Just funny

Since I'm ordained I've thought of starting a church for reasons both uh, practical and more personal. Being an American (the sound of an eagle screeching off in the distance) I have certain social and legal rights/protections granted to me if I decide to do such a thing. I find it funny that you

Here's a whole page from Wyld Magick, my silly fantasy novel I'm working on. #WIPsnips
Chapter Eight
The Laughing Dragon
	The Laughing Dragon Inn was very similar to essentially every other inn that’s ever been featured in a work of fantasy fiction. A squat two-story building with a cobblestone first floor and wooden second floor, it was the kind of place which might be raided in the night by mercenaries sent by an evil lord, or where a genuine tavern brawl might break out. Though there was a cluster of nearby farms, there was no real village around it so to speak, so the tavern itself served as a gathering place for everybody from farmers to highwaymen and ruffians to just-set-out adventurers looking to form their first party and go off adventuring for hire to kill whatever’s been taking Old Farmer Barchichy’s sheep in the night.
	When Domnall entered through the saloon-style double door, he half expected conversation to drop, to get weird looks from everybody in the room, or to be side-eyed by a mysterious hooded stranger smoking a pipe in the corner. Instead, when he entered, the din of music and chatter and silverware scraping against grimy earthenware bowls of perpetual stew hardly slowed for a second, and he was greeted instead by a friendly large man who seemed to be made almost entirely of long blonde hair.
	“Helloo,” the man said cheerfully, sticking out a sticky hand for Domnall to shake. “My name is Geraard, and I’ll be your tavern-keeper for the evening! Do we prefer a booth or a table tonight?”
	“Erm,” said Domnall, hardly having time to think. “Booth, please.”
5 -  Most silverware on The Frisbee was actually made of lead pewter, as it was substantially cheaper than the real thing. However, ‘silverware’ stuck as a sort of marketing term, because ‘pass me some clean lead-pewter-ware, please’ sounds a lot less appetizing.

Reading leftist discourse on a leftist gaming subreddit almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. Jacking off about how much you read theory doesn't actually make the world a better place.

I'm now at the point of being half high and questioning my writing. Namely: do I make the dumb boner joke that popped into my head because of the wordplay involved?

I wanna make some positive trans stuff pretty soon, just had an idea for a video. Helping to raise awareness and to show that there is hope is some of the stuff I give a shit about the most. So much stuff on youtube is just the negative shit that brings you down, I wanna lift people up.

Hadn't heard of her, looked her up, sounds interesting. Lived a good long time too. The fact she wrote so much about her life makes me feel better about covering my dad's life so much in different ways.

I was expecting death as entertainment but not in this manner. More mundane and tame but still fucked up. But that's the thing about real life horrors.

As somebody who grew up with his work, watching shows and playing games hearing his voice, I'm glad to hear this from him. Since I raise transmasculine awareness for the sake of my dead dad it's especially good to see. I hope his life is as good as it can be.

I'm thinking that after December I'll double down on streaming New Vegas and finishing my first book since I want that book done ASAP and my channel needs watch hours the most. Dividing my time and energy has been an issue so far, streaming isn't too hard and I love New Vegas.

But of course I have a bunch of videos covering the games he missed out on. Watching those helps too but asking people to watch hour+ long videos is a tougher ask.

The video will be out at 5 PM EST, it's less than 15 minutes. I've been raising transmasculine awareness via my channel actively for over a year now but he's been gone for three years, if you'd like to help support my efforts just watching the video can help. youtu.be/H_umkla61Fw

Thumbnail for 3rd anniversary memorial video for my dad tomorrow. Been covering games that he never got to play/finish in order to raise transmasculine awareness.
Black background, text on top of it reads "GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN" with the trans pride colors.

Partially tempted to focusing on my book after December, I do have a game I covered via stream so I could just turn that into a quick monthly video in January. I want that book out so that I can begin work on the second one about my dead dad's life.

Something liminal and beautiful about a gas station at night. Might be an American/North American thing though, it's a core piece of Americana that I grew up with since my Old Man did a newspaper route.

It's how I feel about a lot of entertainers, my sympathy for several of them drop when I hear about their day rates and shit. They make more in a day than most people ever will in a month, I don't give a shit if they keep getting into credit card debt.
