Things I'd like to say to people still using Twitter/X to advertise their presence: People who do not have Twitter/X accounts *cannot see your posts*. What we see is whatever random # of posts they pulled, in random order. So if you're announcing streams, merch, etc, WE CAN'T SEE IT. Just a hint.

3 HSR 5-6 hour streams (okay, some of the first lost to ghosts before I locked in on just the trailblaze missions only) but I'm still only up to halfway through 2.1 on my alt account. Two major Penacony fights, the Luofu Wardance, Rappa's Rampage, and Wonweek... I'm not sure I can make it before 3.0

The Five Stages of Honkai: Star Rail Grief: * Denial (I can't believe I lost my 50/50! This can't happen to me again!) * Anger (I hate this gacha game!) * Bargaining (If I do another 20 pulls it'll probably pop early) * Depression (I'm almost at hard pity...) * Acceptance (Effing hell, FINALLY!)

Anyone looking to return 2024 for being defective, you should be aware that your window of opportunity is closing soon...

I've been playing Honkai Star Rail enough that I have codenames for some characters: Preservation Trailblazer: Firestarter Harmony Trailblazer: Flashdance The Hunt March 7th: Stabby March ("beware the ides of March". Runner up: "Runs With Scissors") Yanqing: Kid who keeps eating all my 5* eidolons

"Okay, I'm on-call, but things are usually slow this week, maybe I can still stream toni--" Cue the whooping siren of service failure notification. "Right. What was I thinking again?" No stream tonight folks, the 0s and 1s are still in revolt and must be contained before they cancel out.

"It's an alpha, it's not supposed to be anywhere near complete!" Yup. My issue is $30 for a tech demo. Here's my recommendations: 1) Keep pre-orders open, for what will be released in "vertical slice 2" It's legit and a way for fans to support development, that's fine. (1/2)

Tonight's Twitch stream is uploading to YT as I speak. I was honestly not expecting for a reaction stream to the Space Engineers 2 stream to hit 5.5 hours, but there was a lot to unpack, and a lot missing to unpack. (1/2)

Apropos of nothing, but is it possible to turn the Space Engineer model into a Live2D rig? Asking for a certain red friend...

What's my opinion on KSH announcing Space Engineers 2? The top left of the thumbnail: "ALPHA". All of the footage shown VERY clearly creative mode building - no power/O2/H2 drain. Controls clearly defined for console controller. (1/6)

No stream tonight - had a bit of a step backwards in recovery last night, likely from being dehydrated that kept me more on my on-off sleep pattern. Talking for several hours would just make that even worse, so tonight is "drink a lot of water" and OTC sleep med to smack the internal clock.

Last night was the first night since February that I actually got more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep at a time, and more than 6 hours all told in one night. I actually got through today without having to nap periodically, could work from my office chair without leaning sideways to breathe.

People who are poking @zentreya.bsky.social about unfinished games: How many unplayed games do you have in Steam? Better to take the shot and miss than never take the shot at all.

Stream will be happening shortly, had to work late and only just had dinner, plus it's been a... long week. Continuing on with Satisfactory.

Only one man in this election is a convicted criminal, gave advice that would kill people, who has spent his political career preaching divisiveness, hatred, and fear while blaming everyone but himself for his woes like a 2 year old throwing a tantrum. Please vote for ANYONE else but him.

Starting stream earlier than usual tonight, may be a shorter stream than normal as well. Satisfactory, moving the main base, coal power, sulfur, etc. twitch.tv/farrell1701

The Friday night stream this week will be returning to Satisfactory, with the goal of pushing to coal power, securing sulfur and caterium, and if time permits, a bit of free roam.

I voted. Even though absentee ballot came with no return envelope, needing me to visit city hall (where the in-person absentee voting line was over an hour and a half) all to get a new return envelope. If I can get off my ass and deal with being out among people to do this, so can you. VOTE.

Poll result in the Salt Mine was a dead heat between Satisfactory and Space Engineers. My pick will be streamed tonight at 6 PM Eastern!

Attention Farrell's Salt Mine workers: It has come to my attention that the poll for what game you'd like to see me stream later this week expires in 3 hours. You have forced me to mentally adopt the voice of Gul Dukat to urge you to vote in the poll. (And if you're in the US, vote there too!)

Not only does the app for my glucose sensor require my email - which was clearly promptly sold to every spammer in existence - but it also doesn't let you change the volume of alerts. IT IS LOUDER THAN MY SMOKE ALARM. >:( Not fun when it goes off AT 4 AM due to an arm angle false positive.

Left Twitter after the Maniac bought it and had intended to stay off social media, but better to have my name reserved here and have a channel for notifications outside of YouTube's Community page. Stay tuned.
