‘Ey folks. Been a while again, and I really meant to get back into the swing of regularly posting here again, but I’ve been in kind of a slump recently. Thankfully, some very awesome people, old and new have been doing their best to help me pick up and get back at it.

Through a combination of birthday money, commissions and Twitch paying out at a good time of month, I finally pulled the trigger on getting a Switch since I kind of like to have my handhelds current and it’s kind of a dream machine for in how it doubles as a console and portable system. Been enjoying Xenoblade 2 greatly, if a bit cautiously since random draws are very much A Thing both for Blade recruitment and getting items for quests. But it oozes charm, much like the first. (And in going to try and link to the relevant Eishi N’ Dixie strip, I found that my archives are apparently busted, so I guess maybe it’s time I finally wiped the site and started over from scratch with more of a focus to it then the current, Frankensteined-together WordPress page I’m on.) E3 has me pretty hyped for DAEMON X MACHINA for a mecha fix and part of me is geeking over that Switch-exclusive Star Fox merch, but I’ll have to decide if it’s $75 worth of cool. (Really, if new games are gonna be $40 to $60 new and it comes with a plastic Arwing and other junk it’s not that awful, but seeing it in one big sum makes me hesitate a tad. The SNK 40th Anniversary Collection and their apparent new attempt at a Gals Fighter are on the way too, in addition to various WiiU ports other people gripe about but I missed out on.

I’ve been having a pretty good time streaming lately, though my art output’s basically dropped to nothing aside from aforementioned commissions. Some super generous viewers lobbed a bunch of Steam games to try out including the new Battletech, which despite some of the mixed impressions I’ve read I’m really digging since it’s something I’ve wanted since my teen years- a digital version of the board game so I can have the depth of the tabletop game without all the stat tracking and other paperwork. A few weeks ago to celebrate crossing 400 followers, I decided to sit down and do a mini marathon sampling a bit of stuff that’d been sitting in my backlog for some time. Course, Steam being Steam there’s still more stuff yet to be touched. T_T I may look into getting some capture gear since I’ve been trying to share some obscuro PS2 games and the emulated versions chug too much to be really satisfactory for stream.
