Btw I thought I should let you all know I'm setting up a Patreon and a fan discord to be launched at the end of the month

It's related to my video/streaming content though, not my writing. My anxiety has, for all intents and purposes, murdered my ability to write at the moment and I sadly don't see that changing any time soon. But things are going well enough over YouTube/Twitch side that I thought it was time to take that step.

Thanks everyone for your support over the years. I'm sure the news about my writing will disappoint more than a few of you, and I'm sorry for that. I want to get back to it eventually, but it's emotional torture to try right now thanks to PTSD bullshit, and that's energy I'd rather spend on something I can feel good about.

I hope anyone who's been following for my sense of humor or worldview, as opposed to my writing itself, will follow along on this journey. Not as in, will go throw me Patreon $ right now, but as in, will take the time to watch an episode or catch a stream and see if what I'm doing now is of interest to them.

I'm still me. I just am channeling my creativity into Minecraft now.

And I'm here to promise - to myself, and to all of you - that the best is yet to come.

It's here at last!

I am proud to announce the launch of our #Minecraft SMP server -

This is a brand new private SMP server, currently played in the snapshots (18w20c to be exact) in preparation for 1.13. We are a community primarily composed of LGBTQIA+ and female gamers who have decided to build a home for ourselves in the world of Minecraft.

Also we’re very, very hype about dolphins and turtles. Very.

...not so hype about Flappy Friends, though.

Episode 1 covers the first two days worth of adventures - and gives a sneak peek of what's to come!

This should be full of the sort of humor you’ve come to expect from me, coupled with occasional screaming from mob attacks and, eventually, some pretty good building. For right now it’s just us trying to get settled and set about our lives across this gorgeous map:

(In a shocking twist, I’m actually Fire this time, not Ice!)

Even if you’re not big on Minecraft, I hope anyone who’s a long time follower/reader of mine will consider checking us out.

I plan to put out two episodes a week, plus occasional livestreams.

Several of the other players are posting videos as well - their links are listed in my video description.

Thanks for watching!

There are three things that excite us most on this server:

Playing into Raven’s THIS IS UNETHICAL shtick

needlessly overcomplicating things

eggs. eggs everywhere.

The context, for those wondering, is that we encased the auto chicken cooker inside much obsidian to ensure the local animal rights activist couldn’t interfere with the machine. This excited Krodal very much.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT ALL THESE SCREENS!

My dear gentlefolk, let me introduce you to my new desktop, Mori! 

...well, he himself is hidden behind the TV the PS4′s hooked up to, but those monitors are him!

I’m p excited to finally have a computer that I can stream from, including actually playing games on, and also to HAVE A MONITOR AT A HEIGHT THAT DOESN’T HURT MY NECK TO LOOK AT!! WRITING HERE I COME!!

Anyway yeah, spring break is gonna be spent setting up my capture card and making a nice stream overlay (unless someone wants to make one for me for $) and banners... then streaming all the stuff I’ve been sitting on, like Hiveswap, Shadow of the Colossus, and the HZD expansion.

Hope you’ll all come along for the ride!!! <3

(P.S. about to fire up a Fortnite stream right now, if anyone wants to come hang out~)

Also this is a thing that’s happening

combination “I’m a year late to the party but I’ve only had a functioning computer for like 3 weeks what the fuck do you want from me” and “HOLY SHIT Y’ALL I’M A TWITCH AFFILIATE, GIMME DEM BITS” stream party

you should come. It should be fun.

New UHC is live!! This time there’s multiple teams posting their POVs!!! So we’re going episode by episode~~

[lyraeon]

By the way, this was a thing that happened this last weekend!

This was simultaneously the most and least chaotic UHC I’ve been in yet... on one hand, having a 5 person team made it so duties could be divided very effectively. On the other, that almost defeats the spirit of a UHC... as did only having two teams.

None of that stopped it from being hella freakin fun though.

Have a few of the glorious disasters that happened during last night’s Jackbox stream.
