Twitch Streaming and 4 year life update

General
Hey everyone!
It's been a while, I know. Last journal post here was... wow, 2018, huh? Back before I actually started my time in Game Design. It has been a.... rough 4 years. Game Design has kept be busier than I expected, and while I had a job for a while, ever since the pandemic I haven't had an income (mostly) due to, well, having health issues that put me at high risk. Thankfully I saved up a lot in advance, so I've managed to survive off that (and help from the Canadian government for the period they offered it). But it's left me with not a lot of disposable income for art and the like, and the school work has kept me busy enough that I haven't had too much time for writing stories.
But, I mean, a lot of good stuff has happened too! I did manage to land an actual industry internship over last summer, working with a small studio that I gelled well with. Unfortunately school meant I couldn't stay on there, but I take pride in knowing that they had to hire TWO people to replace me with. I've done really well in school, I have a 3.83 GPA going into this final semester, and my capstone game is coming along well!
Soon I'll be graduating and working had to get that first job of mine in the industry proper. That's going to be hard. Breaking into the industry is the hardest, once you're in swapping jobs is easier. So I'll need a lot of luck in the coming months that I can get that first placement.
But that's enough of the school stuff. Let's talk about the first topic of the journal title. Twitch streams! For the past year and few months, I've been streaming. It's something I'd been wanting to do for a while. Started New Years Eve 2020, had my 1 year anniversary stream this past NYE, and I've been streaming more regularly since. Had a few weeks recently that I haven't streamed due to school, but jumping back into it again today.
So, yeah, if you are free and want to come join me, I'll be streaming today at 4:30 PM EST at My Twitch Page. We'll be playing some Fuga: Melodies of Steel. There should also be a submission post that goes up when I am live, featuring some art I got quite a while back for my streams! You all will finally start getting to see it.
Either way, good to talk to you all again, and hopefully i will have new stories for you all soon.
