The Sun Is Shining In My Heart Once Again... For The First Time In Several Weeks

the sun is shining in my heart once again... for the first time in several weeks

that adhd med REALLY didn't treat me very well, sadly! it helped me focus, for sure – but it actively tanked my sleep, worsened my stomach issues, and towards the end there it even pushed my depression to a new low!! i stopped taking it on friday and it's been slowly releasing its grip on my body over the weekend; as of today it has more or less worked its way out of my system (though my head is still a bit fuzzy).

being this sensitive to meds sucks. that was the lowest possible dose of that med! now i need to get some tests done so i can try other adhd meds, because my other options are all stimulants. if i'm this sensitive to a NON-stimulant, then i'm kinda scared to try the rest...!

finding the right med to treat these symptoms is a big guessing game of trying various options to see what works and what doesn't – everyone's brains are wired differently, and mine just happens to do Whatever That Was when i take a med that isn't for me. trying to find the right antidepressant was a very similar story...

at this point, though, i'm just glad i'm feeling better again. i'll miss my ability to focus and get out of my head more often... but i'll find it again someday!

Double Up November: Two streams a week, all month long!

work is being incredibly kind with its holiday and off-friday schedule – in fact, i get every Friday off through the end of the month (including December 1st!)

so i figure now's a FANTASTIC opportunity to sneak in some extra streams and smash through that backlog! for the entire month i will be aiming to stream at least twice a week, possibly more if i can spare the time and energy.

most (but not all) of these extra streams will be on Friday evenings at 7pm CST, in addition to the usual Sunday 3pm CST slot – this is subject to change in case of family or holiday plans, but i'll keep y'all as informed as i can!

what can you expect to see this month? well:

the finale of Phantom Hourglass is very soon... possibly even this sunday! and i'm not sure what Main Stream Game to play next... might run a poll soon~

more of the extra modes in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, as we explore the betrayal, death, and redemption of Judas Iscariot! like, from the bible. don't ask

a big Mario Kart multiplayer night with the release of the Wave 6 DLC next week!

a chaotic randomizer for one of my very favorite games that randomizes the cutscenes themselves!!

and that's just the first half of november 👀

as you can see i am VERY excited to have the opportunity to stream more, and i can't wait to see you all on my Twitch channel!

Skysometrick or Skysometreat

new stream archive, in which Magolor is stranded in purgatory for his sins… and must atone. like i said, Kirby lore is no joke.

new stream archive! in which we close out Kirby's journey with our friends and foes turning all sorts of pretty colors 💜 seriously though, the back half of Extra Mode is no joke!!

new pre-stream archive, in which i compare and contrast some games that were designed for multiplayer and how well each game accomplishes that goal!
