So, I've been hit with notices of overdue student loan repayments for loans in my name that my family and I missed in our bookkeeping and I am at risk of defaulting on, on top of my normal monthly costs. #mutualaid Any little bit helps and just sharing is appreciated ko-fi.com/professorbur...

#SGDQ2026 went by in an absolute blur. this was my first event not working stream tech, but I did a good job of keeping myself busy with the Fatales. they let me back on the host mic and I got to do Stardew from the couch! plus, live commentary for Rift was amazing. see y'all again in 6 months?

Four Fatales gathered around the Fatales table covered in snacks and puzzle pieces, which were being signed for the event craft.

I've been learning how to go fast in a lot of video games and they also say teaching is one of the best ways to learn... @quacksilver.bsky.social and I will be exchanging some of our favorite games and see what we can learn in just 2 hours!

The Lady Arcader's 4 Year Anniversary Raid Train graphic with details about theValiantSun's stream. They will be live on Friday, February 13th from 5-7 PM ET doing a speedrun exchange with QuacksilverPlays. There are an assortment of video game characters on the screen from various games the two of them play. In very tiny text, it disclaims: "Despite the fact that Quack still owes me 8+ hours of Stardew Valley from our last game exchange in 2024, what if we did it again but make it speedruns?"
