This whole thing with taking away the block feature may actually be the final straw here.

I have a bluesky, y'all would find me there. Maybe I'll actually start posting there.

Heeeeeeeey I hate to be that guy, but it was brought to my attention. That Liar's Bar game, uses Ai voices.

So I won't be playing it, sorry. And if you're wondering where it says it, literally on their steam page. Unfortunately at the BOTTOM of it.

@MooMooClover @ghigeonttv I have a particular song I start mine with, and usually switch off the Starting Soon screen at the 6:30 mark when it starts to fade (it's a long song). It actually helps *me* by sort of centering me and getting me in the right headspace to stream.

Man, Iroh really had some banger lines in ATLA.

Any room can be a panic room if you have anxiety.

Having an overactive bullshit detector can be a double-edged sword.

On one hand, the bad vibes have kept me away from some bad stuff.

On the other... *anxiety* about *every single social interaction.*

I actually folded the laundry instead of just throwing it into a drawer in a crumpled mess.

Does this mean I'm actually an adult?

For anyone who may need to hear this. You're doing the best you can even if it feels like it's not enough sometimes. Some days just waking up and getting out of bed is an accomplishment. I hope what ever battles you're quietly going through clear up quickly. You got this🫂❤️

If you really wanna get me to check out something, you need a hook. Something that specifically targets my neurodivergence.

"You should play a shaman in WoW, you can dual-wield axes."
"This has cute cats."
"Look at this guy that's exactly your type that you can romance!"

At some point, I will start doing things again. Not right yet though. Still going through some things. I'm trying really, really hard.

One more thing: this is the reason you can't use Picrews that have "non-commercial use only" clauses as PNGs for streaming. Because streaming is a commercial use.

[Lotus 💜🌼| done here @lotusenta]

Any assets that you use on stream is considered as commercial use. You, as a streamer, are a business owner, ergo, you are using these assets for business purposes.

The actual issue here is people not separating merchandising from commercial use.

[Veli 🐱💗 ⇢ OffKai Expo @Veliful]

Unpopular and controversial opinion, but as a person who has been on the internet for more than 10 years and as an artist, it's annoying how there's a rising trend to add a 'commercial fee' to everything that isn't commercial.

Commercial fees are supposed to be for products sold en masse or used as physical advertisement like big posters, but people are adding it for things that shouldn't have it.

Commercial fees for a vtuber model? You're drawing a design someone else made and it's for personal use. Commercial fees for a starting soon/ending soon stream? It's a display of work with credits. What's the point of commissioning a simple artwork then if you can't display it in any way without having to pay more fees?

And I repeat, I'm an artist myself who got and gets commissioned a lot, but I will put a commercial fee exclusively if the person wants to profit by selling my artwork in mass. They get all the rights to use my work to display on streams, twitch banner, profile and shouldn't come with any extra commercial fees of sort. I will put a commercial fee on a vtuber model only if they plan to sell premade models.
Hopefully I don't get lynched for expressing my own opinion, but wanting to commission someone and seeing 200% of the price extra if I want to display it on my stream is a horrid turn off, especially when up until 4 years ago this wasn't a thing I ever seen and many people still don't do that.

(as an aside, If you do itemized taxes as a streamer, assets for streaming are considered a business expense. because they are used for business.)
