Dropped a bit of a Cyd update in the discord! TL;DR: Life is a lot and I'm very tired!

Hey folks,

Been a bit since the last update post and that's because it's uh been a bit of a year thus far, which you probably guessed from how sporadic my streams have been! Work's been exhausting and hectic for one (in thanks partially to AI...), but also there's just been way too much going on in my personal life like all the time, making it so that even when I have the time to stream, I often don't have the energy to. On top of that we've also just been really fucking unlucky lately, adding even more stress to the mix! For example in the past week alone we've been dealing with:
Our kitchen sink being clogged to the point it needed plumber intervention (took nearly a week, but finally fixed now)
Kitteh's new phone continuing to have very persistent and problematic tech issues (still working on that, i hate phones!)
My PC deciding it didn't want to boot up anymore two days before my GDQ Hotfix appearance, fortunately just the power supply that needed replacing so I'm not bankrupt (huge thanks to the guy from the local computershop for fixing it so fast! Absolute champ!)
Trying and failing to get a hold of our asshole neighbour who put up a high pitched cat-repelling device that's so loud that you can hear it inside our appartment, which has been stressing Punchy out a bunch, seriously who the fuck puts that up in an appartment complex...
and more!
It's been a lot and I'm tired and I wish I had the energy to spend more time on my hobby or to be there more for the many friends who are also struggling, but I just cannot right now. Society is putting way too much on those who are already carrying so much and I wish I had the energy to make that a little better for people or at least give them a fun distraction, but right now all I have energy for is keeping myself and my wonderful partner afloat, who has also had way too much to contend with. Turns out the systems at play will absolutely fail those with chronic health problems time and time again! So sorry if I dissap…

What my giant fucking head does to sunglasses lmao This is the 2nd pair this year man, just can't find sunglasses wide enough to not have my head put constant pressure on the entire structural integrity

A pair of sunglasses with the plastic completely snapped near the bridge from constant pressure

Me: "alright lemme grab my clothes" Punchy: "do you mind?"

Might call it quits with Hades 2 man there's so much game in this game. Like I got all the achievements and then there's just... more game! I've been at this since November I need to play other games!

Step 1: Get WR with the power of love and kindness Step 2: Accept that love and kindness doesn't get WR Step 3: Get WR with the power of incredible violence And with that I finally have WR in both Sonic Lost World categories! Deluxe's 10 year old record has finally been beaten!

I think about this image at least a couple of times a week

Panel from the spy x family manga where Anya wants to sleep with her giant penguin plushie, but the penguin is replaced with a jar of laoganma

I'd like for you to know that the context we noticed this in was when Punchy (streamer) did his "how fast can you find a toilet in every Resident Evil" shitpost run and was presented with this absolute unit
