Hey Calyco crew
Quick update on the stream schedule.
We’re currently down a few people on the management team, so me and the other supe are going to have to pick up the slack.
Because of that, my work schedule (and by extension my stream schedule) will be a little wonky for a bit while we get the rest of the team replaced.
There may be times I can stream earlier, and there may be times I’m just too tired to stream.
I’ll try to keep everyone updated on when I go live, both on Tweeter and in the Discord.
Much love, and I can’t wait to hang out with y’all again.
i just realized, the pint size slashers will be leaving soon.
imma miss those funky lil dudes
they are probably one of my favorite mobs.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
of Being Friends With an American
In Japan, becoming close friends takes about ten years.
With Americans, it takes one checkout line.
Nobody showed me the terms. So I wrote them down myself.
Please read carefully. Nobody does.
1. ACCEPTANCE
1.1 By smiling back at an American, you have accepted these terms.
1.2 There is no "decline" button. I looked.
2. YOUR NAME
2.1 Your name will be learned once and used forever, at full volume, across parking lots.
2.2 If your name is longer than two syllables, it will be shortened without your consent. Mine lost half of itself in the first ten minutes. I have never felt more included.
3. YOUR PROBLEMS
3.1 Any problem you mention out loud becomes a group project.
3.2 I said my bike was making a noise. Two days later, four men were standing around it in my building's parking lot with their arms crossed. Nobody touched it.
3.3 This is step one. It is called "looking at it." It can take forty minutes. It cannot be rushed.
3.4 In Japan, I would have quietly bought a new bike.
4. MOVING
4.1 If you say the word "moving" near an American, you will receive, at 7 a.m. Saturday: one borrowed van, three men, and one man who brought his own dolly and needs you to notice the dolly.
4.2 Payment is pizza. Offering money is a violation of these terms and an insult to the dolly.
5. SPORTS
5.1 You will be assigned a football team. You do not get to choose.
5.2 My friend assigned me the Jets. He apologized while he did it.
5.3 You may not switch teams. You may only suffer. Together. Every Sunday. That is the friendship.
6. TERMINATION
6.1 This agreement does not end when the American leaves.
6.2 I tested this. Four years ago, my friend Dusty moved home to Arkansas. At the airport, I said goodbye the Japanese way. Properly. Like it was over.
6.3 He looked at me like I had insulted his mother.
6.4 Every Thanksgiving since, there has been a chair at his family's table with my name on a folded index card. Nobody sits in it.
6.5 Last year, his mother put food on the plate. Turkey. Two kinds of potatoes. A roll.
6.6 "In case he shows up," she said.
6.7 I live more than 6,000 miles away. She knows. She did it anyway.
7. FINE PRINT
7.1 These terms cannot be cancelled by distance, time zones, or an entire ocean.
7.2 They can only be passed on.
I have read every word.
I agree.
P.S. I'm sure I missed a section. Americans, add yours below. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
I wanna take a second to shout-out @ChipHeadHosting. We’re using them for Portside Tales tonight, and I genuinely messed up the account creation at first, but their top-tier support helped me get everything sorted fast. Their system is super easy to use, and I had everything up and running in less than 15 minutes.
So far their server is handling those 455 mods like a beast.
Huge thanks to @Mama_Lumi for letting me know about them, real ones always point you to the good stuff.
We tried to pick just one, but these C.A.M.P.s were killer. 🔪
Congrats to isometricity (Pint-Sized Slasher Effigy) and IRiSH OH (Bates Motel), the final winners of our Slasher C.A.M.P. Contest! #Fallout76
