Have you ever created something so beautiful that all you can do is weep?
An edit of a Slay the Spire style side-by-side turnbased battle, featuring the suited spacemantis with a baseball bat and "69 out of 69 health" standing off against a basic green lizard enemy with "67 of 67 health." The game's logo - Slay the Spire II - is written in the top corner. The background is a lush, albeit mossy forest floor.

I had over 700 hours in the original Slay the Spire, but I also have the incredible ability to purgle information from my mind fully, so let's relearn slaying together with THE FULLY ANIMATED SEQUEL.

Since Twitch clips are currently busted so I can't get recent stuff to post for my day off today, I'm reposting Adam Huge.
The next time you're making your bad mood everyone else's problem in a videogame, remember Adam Huge.

It's like Lethal Lava Land, but only that one bit with the log.

A horsemasked Spacemantis stares down the camera in a surrealistic blue scanlined environment. Many pixelized creatures from "Horsey Game" are bucking around in the background at low opacity. The caption "HOW HUNGRY?" is presented as if it were dialogue from the game Hotline Miami.

Spacemantis hiding behind a rock looking past it, a (water) gun held high as a goal from Blood West approaches. The image is structured to parody the cover art of the game.

The stream has a new camera system! There is a new secret command! There are two new redeems! And I'm not even done SHOOTING EVIL GHOSTS.

I know my audience.
I'm always envious of his editing and it's not a small order fitting something like 3+ nights (18+ hours?) of content into something so cohesive and coherent. He's one of the hardest working content creators I know and deserves your attention.
Thank you for appreciating the model change! The design has been in the works for so long that it's kind of hard to believe it's really out there.
If you're looking for a send-off for the old model, Jake has finished the enormous task of a Split Fiction supercut.

A blurry Blockbuster video background. In the forefront is a video case, fanned out so that both the back, front, and spine are all visible. It is purple with stylized, playful writing that reads "MANTIS - A Space Adventure" on the front. The front features a picture of a suited spacemantis running dramatically on a spacey background, while the back of the tape is several images of implied 'scenes' from the movie - for example, an unsuited spacemantis being guided through a Windows 3d maze by a plushmantis, a green hologram denba, and a plushmantis floating off into space. Reviews featured include "You're like Bug Markiplier," "I've been calling you New Zealand for a month now," and "I watch a funny Vinny Vinesauce clip where he plays the game and is funnier than you." There is a lorum ipsum description. The tape is very worn down and retro styled, featuring stickers denoting the genre as scifi and horror.

Tonight is all about games that feel like they're from the past - specifically we're starting with the demo for Rewind99, (@rewind99.bsky.social) a game all about running THE GREATEST VIDEO STORE ON EARTH.
Would you rent my movie?

The above template, however the two images being reacted to are a large picture of the moon followed by a very small pixel sized moon.
Honestly, best use of it I could think of.
Two reactive panels, one showing a disgusted, disinterested spacemantis with the text "Using that meme template that has Drake in it," and the other showing her interested and pointing towards text that reads "Just make Elly do it."
The spacemantis in a big silly sheriff's hat with a funny little pink gun, posing as if about to shoot someone off screen under a shrunken moon in the desert.

Contemplating making "submitting a time to the Rat Climber speedrun leaderboards" a condition for joining Bug Friends.
It is worth mentioning that I've had so many compliments on this wonderful project. Jake's work is stellar and really speaks for itself, but I'm so unbelievably happy with how it's turned out (and so is everyone else).

The spacemantis "original suit" design in a cosmic background collecting stars, happily.
Tomorrow I take the suit off, and with it a bit of weight that it's been carrying around from old decisions and preferences made years ago. I simply hope that as I grow and change, you'll all like to grow and change along with me.
I'm a bug out of my spacesuit, but please don't hold it against me.
It always felt like a huge compliment when people described my model as "amazingly expressive," because due to the limited nature of the design a lot of my energy on stream was dedicated to making it react the exact way I wanted. I view myself as an extremely experienced pilot with it.
There is a nature in vtubing for people to view model upgrades or redesigns as "better." They're ashamed of what they used to use. I never want to be that person and despite my enthusiasm, I do realize that we're not doing something *better,* we're doing something *different.*
On Friday, after stream, I looked my model dead in the eye in VTubeStudio and said goodbye to that part of myself.
I've said it before, but it's worth repeating; sometimes when you close a chapter in order to open a new one, it's on the cusp of things you still love.
Monday will be delightful.

New model Monday. That's the whole post.
Enjoy your weekend.
