It’s a new week, bitches. We have sunlight, and prairie breezes, and caffeine.

Shawshank played Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 while I wrote yesterday’s post. I got dressed, and we left the house for a little while, pointing the truck towards Slightly BiggerTown and adult responsibilities. Sundays are nice for shopping: if we get there early enough, the grocery store is empty because the church crowd is otherwise occupied. We made the rounds, hitting the discount shop and groceries, before we rounded out the excursion with a visit to the dispo and lunch to go. The afternoon had barely started when we returned home, so Shawshank grabbed the controller and worked on his park some more.

Just before dinner, he realized we’d forgotten to do laundry. Ooops. Into the washer it went.

We’re gearing up for a busy stretch of work shifts, with no real “weekend” for a couple of weeks. We’ll make it.

Good morning, world. We woke up to sunshine and Podrick.

I spent Saturday working on Fansly stuff. My current stream setup records clips every time someone tips over a certain amount, and I’ve been uploading them to Fansly. I have to edit them first, and while I’m getting faster with Davinci, the aspect ratio is changed and I hate it. I wouldn’t need to edit them if I shut off the fucking Lovense overlay, which displays the tipper’s username, so I’m cropping the whole overlay out. They’re a bit rough – I’ve gotten too soft, being spoiled with easy video editing through TikTok and Instagram.

Overlay aside, I edited and uploaded some clips, and scheduled a few posts for the next couple of days.

We’re doing homebody shit today, starting with grocery shopping

Good morning, world. We woke up to a sunny Saturday morning. You’ll hear no complaints from me about it. Podrick kept things mostly quiet, just coming up when he needed the cuddles.

Last night’s shift was pretty boring. I managed to get the modifications to my JOI game working, and with a little help from OBS’s Advanced Scene Switcher, all I need to do is hit a hotkey and it runs, until it runs out. There was one small hiccup, when I bound the hotkey to the wrong thing, but the macro worked on the first try. I fucking love me some if/then statements. You have no idea.

Unfortunately, the actual stream was pretty dead. Fridays are just so rough. I switched up my stream goals for the evening, experimenting with my JOI game’s new expansion pack. After a couple of hours, I reverted back to the normal goals. I finished the night with more than Thursday’s shift, but only barely. It was definitely a shift where I logged out annoyed I wasted my data on it.

Today’s another work day. I’m going to put some makeup on, so I feel human, hydrate (because I was REAL BAD about it yesterday), and do some Fansly maintenance. I also want to go outside for some spin time, and take advantage of the weather.

Sometimes, the best self care is playing in the sunshine.

It’s a sunny fucking Friday morning, y’all. The cats are in the sunny spots, the crows have been fed, and we’re in our respective places on the couch. Podrick snuggled me at regular intervals until it was time to get up.

Work was pretty damned boring last night. I stuck it out for four hours, but made almost jack shit for the night, and got some new followers, which is good. I haven’t put my new game options into play yet, mostly because I don’t really know what the best way to implement them in the “show”. I’ve come up with two options, one I can put into effect immediately, and one that would require an extra purchase or two while we’re out this weekend. Honestly, I want to implement both, and probably will.

Eventually, anyway. I made a little change to things just now, and we’ll see how it goes tonight.

Let’s all have a good day, everyone.

Hello, world. The morning is here. We’re drinking coffee and watching news and seeing what happened in the overnight hours.

We did pretty much nothing yesterday. Shawshank made brunch for us, with me lending my skills to add some french toast to the meal. I got high and watched him play Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 until dinner time. I showed him how to tunnel through hills and run tracks underground. Eventually, after 3 hours of setup, he let people in the park.

I worked on my own park later. This is another park where I wanted some mountains, and coasters that go through them, and made a figure-8 shaped monorail that runs around the park. When I first finished the monorail, I hated it. I almost deleted it 5 minutes after I finished it, but forced myself to leave it and at least give it a fucking shot. The center of the map has two monorail stations fairly close together, plus a coaster station. There are some little hills as well, because I hate flat maps. I’ve started making wider “main street” style avenues, and spacing rides a bit farther apart. I fill in spaces with trees and hide wooded paths between the little hubs of activity that I build up around the stations.

Shawshank stuck me in a bubble bath to finish the night. It was hot.

We’re back to work today, for a few days in a row I think. I have some ideas for new ways to fuck with my guys, but haven’t implemented the system yet. If I didn’t have so many cords involved, I could put the laptop in my lap and probably get the system working while I stream, but I know the limits of my attention span. Five minutes into set up, I’d forget the guys exist.
