@JJtoob I legitimately was working on some years ago and wanted to get Tony's reaction and everyone's runs for a video. I totally forgot about that until now.
Joetastic is a friend of the channel who made those great Battlebit animations for us years ago. Last year, he actually hired me directly to do some editing for him. He was so patient and kind with me that it was to his own detriment.
A random faux pas doesn't make a bad person.
Iโd like to make a donation to support the trans community, but Iโm honestly not sure which organizations or charities would be best to donate to.
If anyone has any recommendations, please send them my way ๐๐ป
@PurgeFan@VI0LETF0X You got annoyed at me and presumed to tell me a basic rule of English because I willfully used a common colloquialism that breaks said rule. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Got my nails did. ๐คญ๐ฅฐ I've somehow never actually had a manicure before, and my bestie @VI0LETF0X took me along to Mimosa Nail Bar with her today. I tore up my fingers and nails just like two days ago putting my hood and bumper back on my car, so they did a great job! ๐งก
Guess whoโs been in the studio working on a banger ๐ธ๐ชฉ
Pick up Lรบcioโs new Treblemaker Mythic Weapon Skin when Season 5: A Grim Doctrine starts TOMORROW at 11am PT.
I'm feeling accomplished about this. ๐ฅฐ My 20-year-old lil' baby Mercedes is my daily driver, and it's been damaged since last year from a deer strike. Violet and I were out on a chill nighttime cruise with the top down when a full-grown buck suddenly sprinted out in front of us.
It looked like he was going to run the opposite direction but spun around at the last second as we decelerated rapidly from 60 down to 25 mph by the time we collided. His legs got swept out from under him by my front end. He broke my bumper, dented my hood's beautiful nose, bent a fender, broke the emblem, and shattered a headlight lens before landing center-mass on my windshield, barrel rolling INCHES over our heads, before landing on the opposite side of the highway and continuing to run.
That was July of 2025, and I am happy to say she is making a full recovery. ๐ฅน The stalwart little machine saved our lives that night (second time this car has saved me) and I'm so happy to have her looking good again.
I disassembled my headlight to reuse the good parts, and replaced the lens and a couple bits for $30. I bought a replacement hood and bumper off a scrap car for $300. I did the bumper myself and a friend helped me with the hood. We also fixed the windshield washer squirty boys while replacing the hood. YAY!
Total cost of repairs was about $330 for the damage directly from the deer. My insurance deductible alone would have been $500. It took a year to get up the motivation but hell yeah I did it. ๐
I also just replaced the 9-year-old battery, got her back on a matching set of wheels, installed a three camera dash cam, did oil, inspection, yadda yadda. ๐ฅฐ
Here she is at various stages of damage, as well as just after a bath today.
Massive thanks to Dana and TJ for help transporting and installing the big heavy stuff.
Took a break just now to finish writing what I started at the office today. I recently bought a completely offline little word processor to totally avoid social media and AI while I write lyrics for songs. It has been SO HELPFUL.
To improve my flow I'm challenging myself to write short lyrics for songs (so poems I guess ๐คฃ) every day of October.
Here was today's! ๐ฅฐ
Last night @VI0LETF0X and I went to see @starbomb! ๐คฉ We were there purely as fans and had an absolute blast! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
I even ran into a couple Neebs Gaming fans! Imagine my surprise hearing someone suddenly shout MY name while I stood in line. ๐คฃ Great to see you Meg and Mitch!๐งก
