Hey there.

It's been over 2 years since the last journal but I thought I might as well make a new entry.

Social Media:
So as you all know people have been moving from Twitter to Bluesky, I've had a account on there for a for about 3 or 4 months but forgot about it after I made it so I just want to share it on here.
Like my twitter account it is for mostly sharing stream announcements but if I get more SFW artwork I'll probably share it in there, if I can have multiple accounts I could probably do one for sharing NSFW stuff. I'll still use Twitter but to be honest I don't have much to say on these platforms because even if people tell me "Just say anything that comes to mind" I can't because I don't really have anything of value that is worth saying.

My Twitter account (or X or whatever you want to call it): https://x.com/ObsidianSDG

Streaming:
I've also started streaming again after a 3 week hiatus, this was caused by me streaming Front Mission 3 four or five times, putting about 26 hours into it and there was no one watching for 99.99% of it and I got tired of that since I spent 110 hours streaming FM 1 and 2 prior to it and here we are doing the best one of the 3 games and....nothing, just me being alone unlike what happened with FM1 and 2. You'd think that if you have something like 2,638 followers you'd think that there would be at least one person who'd be interested or come in and see what is happening since I'm a variety streamer but since 11% (290) have notifications turned on and only ONE person out of that 290 is engaging with the notification then its no surprise why the streams are so dead (I do share the link on twitter and in discord servers but nobody cares).

Ever since my grandad died back in march it has been a struggle to keep doing things when I'm surrounded by people in the real world who constantly put me and my stuff down and tell me to stop doing things (some have told me to go kill myself whenever I snapped back at them from being sick and tired of it, I expected better out of people who are double my age) and it really has been difficult, and these dead streams just proves their point. I don't have much self esteem or much self value and my grandad was pretty much the linchpin keeping me together until he died and now everything seems to be a lot worse than it used to be.

I'm still doing my streams but I've been toying with the idea of getting off Twitch and moving to Kick or YouTube or something, some place where I won't be harassed by bots trying to make me commission them for a Vtuber model whenever I'm using my pngtuber or people offering me money for farts like as if I'm some fart fetish streamer.

Why does it have to be so difficult to sit down and broadcast myself playing games?

Anyway my Twitch is here in case anyone is interested: https://twitch.tv/obsidian_sdg

It's been a while since the last Journal about trading some unwanted game codes for a drawing and this time it's two games from the Capcom Humble Bundle that happened a week ago.

I have:
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Monster Hunter: World

I bought the bundle mostly for the Devil May Cry games as I got DMC: Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry V and the Devil May Cry HD collection from it but it was nice that Ultra Street Fighter IV was in it (Street Fighter V was a part of it too but they are currently out of keys)

Hopefully these games will go to a better place, especially Monster Hunter: World as it is a good game but it's just not my thing...wish I could say the same for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen but I really don't know much about it.

Hello to everyone out there, I just wanted to say thank you to the artist who took the game key for Star Wars: Squadrons and I hope they are enjoying the game.

I have the key for another game on Origin and this one is Dragon Age: Inquisition, I like some RPGs but this one is not my thing so I'm offering this up for a drawing if anyone wants it, feel free to send me a note or comment here.

I was just sitting around, doing nothing and an idea popped into my head.

"If you had a 3D Printer, what would you do with it?"

It was just a weird idea that popped into my head, I guess to answer to that is "I don't know"

It's an idea that sounds fun and it's something that I could make some money from but I wouldn't know how to do that or what to do with it exactly.

ENTRY DEADLINE: 30/01/2021

It's been awhile since I've made a journal but let's be honest...no one will read this unless it was something along the lines of "Hey I'm looking for someone to take a slot in a drawing of someone being taken by one of my werebeasts" or something else that is NSFW related.

I guess it's more of a vent more than anything.

Ever since I've been back from the US (since the 3rd of June) I feel like my mental health has not been doing all that well. Tried taking up Let's Plays again since I can't stream while I'm at home but it really hasn't been doing so well, thought that since I don't get much feedback or anything it'd be best to have a like goal of 2 likes on the first episode of my first let's play in a long time (RE 2 2019). Just 2 likes was needed to make Episode 2 go public and continue with the series but however after 20 days it became apparent that it wasn't going to happen and was holding everything up (like I would have probably been on my 4th or 5th game by now) so I made it public which is a shame really since I say thank you for fulfilling the goal at the start of the episode.

Now I feel like the fun in doing the Let's Play for that game has been ruined since I have like...3 and a half scenarios left to do and I feel like it's been a waste of time so far so I've moved on to a different game. I'm trying Project CARS 1 (GOTY edition) and I'm not sure if that's doing anything but that is supposed to be a long side series. it just doesn't feel right having 308 subscribers yet a video can get to 3 views within 2-5 days and stop dead there (it is depending on the game but it's happened to a lot games I've done which led to me deleting all of the videos of them which is why I barely have any videos now compared to a couple of months ago).

I've tried sharing the videos on Twitter, Reddit (yes even on Facebook even though no one barely uses it) and of course in self promotion channels in Discord servers I'm in but it hasn't seemed to do much.

Another issue I have is that I have my own server but new people very rarely come in and if they do they either leave a couple of seconds later or just never say anything except the extremely rare message which could be like one every two months or something. I had to kick two people because one would just ask me when the next stream was and not care about anything I had to say (really didn't seem all that interested that I finally made it back home either) and the other was just being edgy all the time or wasn't being all that helpful when needed (funny really since he wanted to be a mod).

I just feel like whenever I do something or try to do something it is not bringing in anything in return and it just leaves me in this state of "I'm supposed to be doing this right now" but I don't do it. Like right now for example, instead of writing this journal I was supposed to record 2 episodes of Project CARS, an episode or two of another game and have something to eat but I don't feel like doing ANY of that (can't think of what that other game was supposed to be either).

Its been awhile since I've made a journal on here, about 9 months from what FA is saying.

Like the title says I have some unwanted game codes for PS4. You see when I landed in America I didn't take my PS4 with me and last month I bought that PS4 bundle that comes with The last of us Remastered, God of War (2018) and Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition but only The last of us Remastered was physical and the other two came as codes much to my surprise.

I have God of War back at home with the PS4 I got there and Horizon Zero Dawn is not something I'm into so I was hoping that maybe I can trade them for a shirt design or something if anyone is interested, The codes expire on the 31st of this month and I think its US only. It'd be a waste for these codes to expire as they are both really good games.

I know that I haven't made a journal since the 27th of October last year but I thought that I might as well make a new one even though I doubt anyone will read it.

I heard about the new Shinies tipping system that has been put in place and I've seen a lot of people have it enabled, will I have it enabled?....well the answer is no. It sounds nice but no as I'm not an artist, I mainly commission stuff and stream on Twitch so it sounds silly to do that when my Ko-fi and Patreon don't get anything (need to make something to get people in my Patreon or something).

If there were people interested in giving me shinies I don't think I'd enable it as Google Chrome keeps telling me that this website is not secure, it even has the red triangle with the exclamation mark on it right now so I don't think it'd be wise to enable this feature right now.

Now that that is out of the way I guess I better give an update on how are things are going since the last journal entry so here it is:

1: I reached affiliate on Twitch around the end of December/start of January which was something I was not expecting especially with Need For Speed Carbon being the game that brought in the last few followers needed and enough viewers to increase the average viewer count which I'm happy for.

2: I joined Furry Watch as I was told that can help me, I kind of want to say that it does and doesn't if you are doing games unless you are "big" but it's still helping me in some way which is good.

3: I currently have 148 followers with 2,504 total views (not sure if total views does anything) which is good and I don't think I have many subscribers, only two that do it through Amazon Prime but I don't mind that.

4: I have set up a Discord server but I'm not sure whether putting it up on here or Twitter is the best idea because of trolls, I think I do need to do it.

5: My PS3 stopped reading discs two days ago, I need to get it fixed but since I'm going back home sometime in July and then going to study abroad in America from August onwards I'll fix it when I come back. I can still play the games that I got off the store, I just can't play physical ones (which is nearly all of the games I have)

6: I gave up on uploading stuff to youtube, it's not fun anymore and like most people I have a large number of subscribers but the number of views per video suggest that only 3 or 4 (1 or 2 in a lot of cases) actually watch my stuff, I have had a viewer on Twitch give me the idea of a montage of all my interactions with Mr X from the RE 2 remake but I know no one will watch it however I did say that they are welcome to take all my clips and make montages out of them if they want to (sounds like something I might regret later).

7: I'm trying to figure out which games of mine brings people in. I've been getting a few people from doing games like The Crew, Advanced Warfare and Spyro the dragon but not getting much from Bloodborne, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 1 and 2 and other games, it's hard as I play all sorts of games (except Battle Royale games). Due to my crappy laptop my stream quality is not the best (running at 480p) but I wish people would still give me a chance even if I'm the only person streaming one of their favorite games.

8: I'm trying to be a bit more active on Twitter, they say I should focus on networking as well as the streaming but its hard to as numerous times I've steamed 10+ hours plus I'm still new to social media outside of Discord (still have no idea what Twitter does to be honest)

9: I kinda want to make some kind of podcast, just something silly like 2 furs and 2 non furs talking about games, stupid stuff, cars, films...you know stuff like that. I've been thinking about it since I set that patreon up as people could get it earlier if they were pledging there, would like to do streams where I'm playing with people who've pledged enough if we have the same games.

I think that is all I wanted to say, anymore and it'd be a lot longer than it already is. I don't think anyone is going to read this anyway since I didn't get any comments on the last journal and if anyone does come on to my Twitch from here don't fucking ask me if I fart in my streams or if I can do it as I've had someone DM me on Discord from a server I'm in asking if I do that. I'm streaming games as something to do, possibly entertain people as well as showing the old or forgotten games not fulfilling your fetishes god damn it

Hello, I'm writing this journal to say that I have a twitch and I'll be streaming some Motorstorm in 2 hours


Here is the link to the page: https://www.twitch.tv/skunkdragongaming

feel free to follow me or come over

I reached 108 Subscribers today and I couldn't think of how to celebrate it. I originally made a target saying that I'd make a Patreon when I reached 100 subscribers but now I feel that number needs to be higher before I can do that but I made a Ko-fi page so people can support me still if they want to.

The money would be used mostly in improving my stuff and branching out to other games (for example a better headset, a PS4 or more games and etc.) so there you go. I'll be setting a little goal which is to buy Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 and Reborn as I have been searching for those for a long time, something to get the ball rolling.

Thank you.

I don't normally do these but an artist has pawned their 2DS XL due to needing money and they want it back.

The artist goes by the name Sketchy Lewd and here are the links to their pages.
DA: https://sketchylewd.deviantart.com/
FA: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/lewdtempest/

I've been through such a thing like this (but my PS3 instead) and I thought this was the best I could do as I'm trying to save money.

If I got a steam key to a game I don't want, would anyone be interested in trading it with a drawing of Obsidian?

Just asking because I've seen some people on here trading art with games and I thought that it'd be a good idea to do you know, both sides get what they want so it's a win win. The idea came to me because I want to play games on my laptop for youtube as well as my PS3 and I may end up getting games that might not work on my laptop so I thought that by doing this I can send them to someone that will play them rather than me keeping them and collect dust.

Please send this out or comment to see if anyone is interested. I haven't got any games yet but I just want to see if there is any interest in general

So I've made my Gaming Channel, did it last night about 45 minutes before 2018 started.

It is called Obsidian-Gaming (named after my Skunk dragon) and here is the link to it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn.....p92XLDX_5dVgvw

I only have three 3 videos which were tests to see how my capture card works on some games, later today I'll put up my first let's play (I'm stuck between Spyro the Dragon and Driver San Francisco)

Hopefully I can make this channel bigger than the other Obsidian named channels that I have found (highest I've found had 1,099 subscribers)

I haven't made a Twitch channel yet but I will at some point during this week

Merry Christmas.

Hope everything went well and what not.

Today wasn't much, Christmas here is pretty much any other day in this house except for what we eat for dinner and opening presents. I just watched some people streaming art and some Kung Fu Panda: Legends of awesome.

For presents I got a hooded jumper, a 2 liter bottle of cheapo lemonade and 4 bars of Cadbury's Crunchies (bars of cinder toffee coated in chocolate, in case no one has seen one here you go: https://www.englishteastore.com/med.....chie-1-4oz.jpg ) and that was it.....most people would say that was probably bad but I liked it a lot.

My grandparents gave us an unwanted Thorntons chocolate hamper which I assume it's made up of the Continental type of Thorntons chocolate as well but I don't think it was given as a present but I still think it is XD.

Tomorrow I'm going to order myself a second hand video capture card and a headset with microphone because I want to start making videos and streaming my PS3 games and stuff as something I want to do in my free time in between lessons, I'll make a new journal with the name and stuff when I come up with a name and stuff.

So anyway feel free to tell how your Christmas day has gone so far X3

Just now I removed my Skype, I had to do this because someone tried to steal Akira and masked themselves by using an outlook address that used my Skype name in it.

Odd that someone would go as far as making a fake e-mail address. (tyler.veasey@outlook.com) out of my Skype to get a drawing that ranged from $45 - $85, if they could afford that then why can't they have their own character?

I'm more surprised that it happened to me because...well I'm not as popular as a lot of the people on here.

So uhh yeah I got Telegram after some friends said I should get it.

 Axia is streaming right now and it is just me and her and it would be nice to have more people watching.


It's on join.me and here is the link: https://join.me/257-525-834

Hope some more come otherwise she'll decide not to stream anymore and I don't really want that

Hello to everyone.

I have noticed that people are favouriting the recent "story" I've put up yesterday. It is nice that people are doing this but the thing is that these are just notes for someone To make a story out of.

After the story has been made these note will be deleted, I thought I'd tell everyone so that they know when FA tells them.

Thank you all.

I'm looking for an artist to draw my wereskunk character, anyone know anyone who is open?

Today marks the end of ownership of Berry the Paox. The previous owner I bought her from a year ago wanted her back so I let him have her back, could replace her soon.
