Somnus Grey 🧣🍵

Still getting used to the new sleep and stream schedule but it's going well! My sleepiness however didn't hear the game audio level mismatch - so it's a little loud compared to me.

With all the big side projects done, its time to clean up a draft TTRPG and make an itch page. I miss the feeling of releasing things!

Stream Schedule for 2-8th March: - 8am AEDT Every stream day (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) - 4pm EST and 9PM GMT Tuesday and Wednesday are off-days. Thursday and Friday are Hytale days. Character art by: @lililunna_

First stream schedule up! The starting times should be like this - we'll see how daylight savings changes things up.

Jumping back into Hytale and seeing how far we can go. You can hop into the chat or listen while folding laundry - dying in lava asmr style.

It was a good sleep.

If anything bad happens to my blue gecko and green chicken pokemon... I'll be very sad.

I must read Legend in the Mist, CAIN, Lancer, and Slugblaster -- but it is 6:30am, the sun has risen, and I must sleep.

Computer is back and a big project is almost finished! So my regular streams (with a schedule!) and my ttrpg work can continue on smoothly.

love the bottom WV 💚

its hot so lets check out a volcano

Just began Draw Steel's Delian Tomb with largely no prep and it went extremely well!
The players knew nothing about the game and they took to it amazingly! Forced movement jam was a highlight :D

I'm so glad I was finally able to play. Here's hoping to a couple weekly games!

once again, some chill hytale streaming

Quested for thorium and faced my fear of the magma toads! Results were varied.

Streaming Hytale again!

Love the concept! Another gameplay lever to use. 💚

I've been really enjoying my time with hytale! I've only briefly scratched the surface but I can't wait to start modding once I've experienced enough of the exploration mode.
The 'everything being new' jumpscares has been fun! I was introduced to those lava toads during my last livestream...

Test stream with the new settings went real smooth! A happy success.

Everything seems to be working with OBS... thats suspicious.
Maybe I should just reinstall and redo everything. Yeah, that makes sense.

Amazing stuff! The BW is beautiful.

I haven't kept up to date with the news but I'm very excited for Hytale. Minecraft was very near to my heart and early CubeWorld was fun. I'm ready for my next blocky experience.

If they really start putting generative AI into all of the new media, I'll simply get into older stuff even harder. Do you know how much Doctor Who alone I have left? I'll be fine.

And I am looking forward to sharing a lot of the process with you.

Don't care if I'm slow to start - I will be happy with whatever I make and do in 2026.

2026 is going to be my year and that is a threat

Happy New Year 🎊

The Golden Age of Indie RPGs: 2010-2025 YouTube video by A.A. Voigt

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

'you can't just not play any game that uses AI in any way at all'

Fuckin' watch me, bitch

A special type of thank you for Affinity V1/V2 users The new Affinity app is free for everyone to download, but we’re also gifting something else to our early supporters...

Attention older affinity users. That free font collection is now available for you. (You can get it from the welcome screen in v2 apparently)

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”

And

I hate to say it

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

Quit.

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting
