Thank you for reading.

I'm just going to finally experience some happiness over here, if that's okay.

Please consider making a purchase from him in his time of need. He's a lovely soul and does fetching work. Please and thank you.

Is such an amazing shitshow. If you haven't seen it, you need to check it out. Thankfully, one of the parties involved made a VOD, since Tony's own channel has none. https://www.twitch.tv/bigcheese/video/1566758850

As said in the last journal, now that ME:LE is out, I'm-a go through the whole trilogy on Saturdays and Wednesdays. The first sesh starts in 15 minutes. ^^

I know there's been some kerfuffle about Warner Bros. throwing out DMCA takedown requests since they bought the film rights, but this isn't something I'm doing for gainful employment, plus I'm not exactly racking in viewers in the hundreds, so I think I'll be fine. And if I get banned, whatever.

And don't worry, it's going to be a FemShep series with Garrus as the primary love interest. ;)

Most people who know me can tell you that I'm really looking forward to streaming Mass Effect: Legendary Edition when it comes out, and I have decided that it will be scheduled for Wednesdays and Saturdays (my two primary days off) from 3 to 8 pm, as in it would start 20 minutes from now if it was out.

... But, it's not out, so I am going to have a preliminary group of streams of one of my favorite games of the previous console generation (or I guess two gens ago, since PS5 and Xbox Series exist now), Asura's Wrath! I hope you'll consider joining me for some incredible Dragon Ball-esque action, or if not that, then the journeys of one Commander Shepard later this month. :)

It's still hard to believe that I turn the big 4-0 in six months, so I thought I would do something fun to celebrate it.

Some people have playfully(?) pointed out that every pic I have with Ifrit has him as the dominant one. Because, well, it's Iffy. Big hulking bastion of primal sex incarnate. So it would be nice to just go nuts with the roles reversed for a change. Sort of a case of him saying, "Hey, you're old enough; you've earned a piece of this, this time."

So between now and June, I'm extending an offer to those people who would like to draw me topping Iffy in some capacity. Rump stuff, mouth stuff, whatever gets me inside his body in some way, shape or form. :) You can hit me up here or in notes or on Telegram and we can discuss specifics and payment details, as long as it/they would be ready to be uploaded on the actual day.

I'll say early that I'm gunning more for quantity over quality in this case, so please try to refrain from proposing something that would cost triple digits. Thank you in advance.

I picked up my copy of RPG Maker MV on Switch yesterday, so for the foreseeable future, I'm going to devote my free time to working on a game I've long had in mind for it, so you won't see me sitting in any streams or whatever.

If you'd like to follow along with its progress, I'll be posting updates on my Twitter with the hashtag #KnowYourRoLES, since "RoLES" is going to be the title (it's just a stylistic choice, it's not an acronym that stands for anything), and I can still be reached on Telegram, but forgive me if I don't reply right away.

It's just really important that I accomplish this. Too long I've had fleeting inspirations to start something and dumped it at the slightest hint of discouragement. If anyone would like to know more about it, I'll be glad to shares my thoughts, and my sincerest thanks to any interested parties. ^^

... Uhhh, *ahem*, lemme get my composure back.

Panzer Dragoon: Remake came out on Switch today for a very reasonable $25 asking price. Please give it a look.

I've been puttering around in it for a couple weeks, and I know I'm not the best. I enjoy poking around and experimenting and admittedly don't have the patience to sit and meticulously polish. But hey, if people enjoy running through the worlds, awesome. :)

3H4-92V-GXG: "Mario Teaches Math 2" -- A sequel to a course I made in MM1. I did better when I kept it simpler that time, hehe. Live and learn. :)

L4R-Y38-HHG: "King Koopa's Murder Mystery" -- By punching the ? blocks, you're essentially "talking" to the baddies and learning who they think commited the murder. Only one knows the REAL story. Also, don't be afraid to go over every section of floor. You're playing a detective, after all. :>

8W1-C5Q-86G: "Cirque du So-Lakitu" -- Probably what qualifies as closest to a kaizo-style level as I'll ever get, unless I actually go through with remaking my "Walkies with Wally Wan-Wan" level from MM1. Just you performing jumps and swings over an endless night void.

DMV-L5S-S8G: "Flooded Timber" -- My first real stab at a "normal" level as one would find in an actual Mario game. Multiplayer-friendly, as there are various paths to take.

That's all for now. If they ever make "Collect (x) Toads" a public clear condition, I'm so attempting a narrative series of stages.

It'll be fun messing around with the stage editor. :) Tried my hand at an Endless Ocean-themed one if anyone would like to try it. ID: 2V35K077

Hoping to try making some more in the future!

In six hours, I'll be safely ensconced on a flight heading to California to spend quality time (three days worth!) with my family at Disneyland for my parents' anniversary. Looking forward to what has changed in the years since I've been, along with the change in climate! PLEASE stay in the 70s, temperatures!

My age is now a prime number again. Hooray!

Yeah, I know, no big loss, right? :P

But now that mostly just leaves me with Telegram as a primary means of contacting folks. Not too hard to find me on there iffens you want my mug polluting your list.

I just got home (and subsequently woke up from) my trip down to Nashville to see my nearest showing out of its 28 city journey, and boy, are my wings tired. ^^ But seriously, it was an extremely healing affair for me; I've been a fan of the show since I first saw the season 4 episode The Magic Sword, but never got to go to any of the conventions or previous live performances, as I was just in grade school or junior high, and my parents weren't big enough fans to go with me nor did they want me travelling alone at that age. But getting to meet the people who made the newest season possible, along with the man himself, made for a marvelous time.

Now, why am I bugging you with all this? Because some buddies who I mentioned I was attending it to... they wanted pictures! So I figured I would just make a nice convenient directory here to all the tweets I made over the course of the performances, since that essentially accounts for every photo I took, minus a few others that could be considered redundant since it's just Jonah and the 'Bots standing around talking.

So, without further ado... PHOTOS!

Going to host all three games this coming Monday, basically from after I wake up and have breakfast to whenever people get bored and leave en masse. If you're not doing anything else that day and want to keep hopefully fun company, feel free to stop by. ^^ Link will be shared that day.

Since some people have sprung their friend codes on me, just thought I'd make it public.

I'm not buying one until summer at the earliest. I'd really like to see if E3 has anything cool to announce, and I'm letting the day-one bugs and glitches get patched/fixed/etc. in later revisions of the console. I'm not specifically waiting for a price drop or a game bundled in or anything like that, but if those happen, awesome.

Thanks in advance!

That is to say, I really haven't had any ideas for what to purchase lately (well, there's one I have, but it has a very specific person in mind who isn't presently available), so I thought I would throw this out there: What sorts of situations would you all like to see me in?

To narrow that down a few ways...

1) Do you find general pin-ups boring at all? I don't usually get those because I figure that they get very "me too", but if I am mistaken in that regard, I'd like to know.

2) Is there anyone who's been wanting to get a drawing together but we haven't?

• Where are you staying?
The Westin, I think.

• When will you be arriving and leaving?
Thursday and probably Sunday. No "day zero" for me, sadly.

• Who will you be rooming with?
Geemo and... whoever else is with us. XD

• Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Wandering around like a headless chicken.

• What/where will you be eating?
My stomach isn't picky.

• Will you be having a room party?
VERY doubtful!

• Will you be drinking and/or getting drunk?
Only if invited to!

PERSONAL STUFF:

• What is your gender?
Dude.

• How tall are you?
5'4". I'm so tiny... ;n;

• If I approach you, will you chat with me?
Sure.

• If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Whatever short of frantic waving, haha.

• How many furry conventions have you attended?
AC a bunch of times, FC once, MFM once (and never again...)

• Do you own a fursuit?
Newp.

PERMISSIONS:

• Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Quick hugs are okay.

• How can I find you?
Now that will be the million dollar question.

• Can I buy you drinks?
I doubt you'd want to. >.>

• Can I look in your sketchbook?
Sure.

• Can I take your picture?
No weird stalkery things, please!

MISCELLANEOUS:

• Do you do do free art, trades, commissions, badges?
If you actually want a picture by me, sure, why not. :P

• Do you have a table in the Artist Alley / Dealer's Den or a panel in the Art Show? If so, what are you selling?
Newp.

• Do you plan to volunteer?
I was thinking about doing so this year, at least for a li'l while.

• What's your goal for the con this year?
Decompression. It's been a really stressful year so far.

Been having sooo much fun with this game lately. I've made a bunch of levels of varying quality. Give them a look sometime. :)

"The Dragon's Hoard" -- 5012-0000-0013-BF39
"The Incredible Shrinking Plumber" -- D7AF-0000-002C-BF49
"Treasure Ship..?" -- 3825-0000-0035-370A
"Buzzsaw Wall o' Doom" -- 98AF-0000-003A-23AC
"Walkies with Wally Wan-wan" -- 3F51-0000-003B-F8A9
"The Roivas Mansion" -- 6EC4-0000-0040-E2AB

It's kinda sad that most of my excitement for them amounts to, "Yay, now I only have to give one link to show people all of Sieg's pics." XD

Man, hard to believe that it's right around the corner. It's my first time ever attending it, so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. Looking forward to seeing what it and the surrounding city are like. :D

I wanted to do something a little more unique this Christmas, so in lieu of mailing out cards (although my family got those), I did an incredibly amateur recording of myself singing some carols and telling a couple personal anecdotes. It lasts just shy of 24 minutes long. If anybody desires access to it, feel free to contact me personally and I'll give you the link.

Happiest of holidays to you this season, and best wishes for the coming hoverboard-filled year.

Thank you all very much for the birthday well-wishes. It's definitely been an adventure in the two hours it has lasted so far. ^.^

Everybody go pester  astor with fondest birthday wishes. Cuz he's awesome and deserves them.
