WHAT THE FUCK

After sleeping on it and talking with some people, I have made the decision to go on hiatus. Things have just been piling up on me to the point that Streaming has become somewhat of another stressor and I have been becoming burnt out on life in general. I won't unload all of my baggage on here or anything but it's just become a bit much for me right now to the point that I just need a break. Does this mean I'm quitting streaming? Of course not, I still love streaming, the fact that I've done this consistently for a year and ten months in my 10 years of streaming on and off is incredible. But currently, with how things have been going with school, work and personal circumstances, I just need a break. Without going into too much detail, I feel like I've been fading in and out of consciousness at work and school, which I think is a sign my body is just not able to take it anymore. So. How long is the hiatus? NOT Indefinitely. I love streaming after that fateful stream, even if my growth has been very slow (admittedly that has also been a stressor). I think it's fair for me to return either mid April or early May max. I might do some guerilla, unscheduled streams if I feel like it but until then, I don't think I'm gonna be doing regular scheduled streams. If I do stream, the "Modes" I use will not relate to the usual days that I have been having them on. So for example, if I feel like doing the new Kingdom Hearts Randomizer, it is NOT limited to Sunday, but will still be treated as a "Classic Mode" stream. If I do decide to keep consistent, most likely it will be one stream a week. But for this week and maybe next week at least, I just need some time off. But hey, you'll still see me around, whether it's on other people's streams, commenting on stuff, whatever else. But I just need some honest to good rest. Thanks for everyone that's stuck around and I hope y'all continue to stick around and bear with me while I recharge!

It's been fun, but I really do need this break.

Gahhhhh I hate to do this yet again but I need to cancel tonight. My Internet has been cut off and by the time it'll be back on, I'll have barely enough time to get what all I need to do done. Plus the past two days have been awful (gee that's a pattern lol)? Hopefully see y'all Saturday?

Very low energy so here's just the schedule. Starting next week, we'll be kind of changing how Fridays work so see y'all then!

I think I'm feeling a bit better mentally. Depending on how I feel, I'll be streaming the usual time (11 PM EST). Gonna play some Hytale tonight, Pokemon Legends Z-A tomorrow and Emerald Randolocke on Sunday. But they're tentative so if I don't announce or go like y'all know why.

Moooood

Be on the lookout for @auroraflora27.bsky.social he scammed a mutual of mine and lost some money because of it Highly recommend y'all block this person on sight

Hey folks. I won't lie, it was a rough week last week. Between going to a career forum for job oppurtunities and a family scare, I just need a bit of time to myself. There might be one or two streams this week but we're gonna play it by ear, so treat them as Guerilla streams.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to cancel stream today. The emergency from last night de-escalated but it could come back any moment and I'm just worn out from it anyways. We'll return on Friday with Inscryption.

On this day, one year ago, a man who I owe my life to passed away. I know it's Valentine's Day but today hits different for me. His name was Trevor and I owe him a lot without going into detail. He helped me continue to live, so I will live for him. Pardon if a gif is goofy or tasteless.

In memory of a friend I owe my life to, I will be taking Saturday off. He passed on Valentine's last year. I will be basically having a "moment of silence" for him. Otherwise, We have a collaboration and we continue Emerald Randomizer.

You've certainly been making me think about it for sure. I appreciate you not judging. I know this is rough on you.

I've been giving Noah the benefit of the doubt, and I don't want to abandon him or anything after being a fan and friend of his, but I'll be honest I'm contemplating. I personally don't think he did it maliciously but I don't know him as deeply as you would. Too much to say in one comment, I'm torn.
