I've had flu for over two weeks at this point so no stream again, at this point it's really beginning to wear me down...

brains are weird, my right foot hurty and my brain said "it's plantar fasciitis" and I had to google what that even meant but it's actually a good match of symptoms and it's interesting that was retained in my subconscious in such a vague way
coming soon...the most anticipated gaming release of the year...Hat Trilogy
gonna have a crack at replacing the toilet seat which is cracked before it takes a bite out of my crack
accidentally said one of the seven dwarves was named Gassy earlier, whoops
soz for having to cancel but I've been a little nauseous for 2 days now, and while having my pre-stream dinner I just felt way worse (and still do)...hopefully tomorrow is better.
as compensation here is investigation dad receiving a telephone call from mr clown from last week's movie
been feeling kinda nauseous for the last two days and it's starting to feel worse so I may not stream, gimme an hour or two and we'll see how I go! (Bubsy may get delayed, idk)
Bubsy later
big poop, bigger heart
Don't get me wrong, it's completely explicable. It's not a miracle, it's just a very remote coincidence, and that's definitely kept me down to earth about it. I've been documenting pretty much everything lately, so at the very least, that information has been...fulfilling?
Weird times. COMPLETELY accidentally found a declassified 69yo CIA report where my dad was the (blanked) informant about a Soviet ammo dump. Asked him about it without telling him what I found and he knew all about it...I don't know how I found this without looking for it...
I'm not particularly surprised, but despite how bad life has gotten, I actually have more energy and I'm achieving way more than I did for the entirety of 2025. Because having a specific scenario with rules and a goal - a real one, not one I invent - gives me focus and drive.
can someone remind me to stream Bubsy on Friday lol, I'm not writing that on my calendar
In ~10 minutes about to go live playing Super Tempo for the first time! I'm looking forward to it!! And, in about 3 hours, Kung Fu Friday - come watch some cheesy 70s kung fu movies with us on a virtual plane trip you will never forget, and do kung fu themed bingo!!
I'll stream very shortly, just waiting for my piece of shit GPU temperature to go down, which it might not because this was idle temperature
latest update: it's in the bones - T9 and L2 vertebrae, sacrum, one rib bone. Radiation therapy is the next course of action. So that is very very bad, but there's no symptoms at least.
gonna have to add a panopticon to my stream background
it begins
Going live right now, but, in one hour: Kung Fu Friday Returns!
Gonna do some gaming to warm up but then we're gonna fire up MS Flight Sim, we're gonna get some kungers on, and we're gonna do some bingo!

flyswatters comes in packs of two these days for some reason, so I put tape around one so that makes it heavier and I wield that in my main hand; I wield the other light, plastic one in my non-dominant hand for quick jabs, and I go into battle in a scorpion stance - I take swatting very seriously
I'm not worried about my mental health being affected in the grief sense so much as the being an autistic fuck who can't adult by themselves sense, so keep an eye on me in that department when the time comes. I'm not a bottler at all. I bite off more than I can chew, maybe.
The philosophical side, I think thus: I already carry his legacy and will pass it on too. It's not one big thing, it's millions of little things people do that shape us. Long after we're gone, all our influences will live on in that small scale. I can live with that and die with it too, personally.
Sooo that means I've gotta have the talk. You know...wills, power of attorney medical, life support and euthanasia, emergency money, and so on.
I don't think he's taken it in beyond being the last left of his siblings. Sadly, crises like this are my forte which is why I'm thinking more practical.
The latest update on the dad stuff:
It's all lung cancer, no signs of prostate cancer. Chemo is out as is surgery, he's too old. We need more info to know how to progress. The cancer in the back may or may not be in the spine.
Return of Gurt! Catching up with you guys, then ????? Games for a bit then movies night???

I like my car, it's an i30 I've had for like 15 years, it's good, but it's not made for the Australian sun and holy shit everything in it is made of fucking plastic. That's good until it ages. Every fucking component is brittle and it looks more sun damaged than an 80s tradie.
