Humble Bundle has an awesome Bundle up right now with really good games.
Disco Elysium and Spiritfarer are part of it and I definitely recommend both.

I'm happy to announce we now have a new sponsor!
CodeCrafters is a company that provides programming training and resources.
They also maintain the "Build Your Own X" GitHub with a BOATLOAD of free tutorials.
The affiliate link below will help you make an account and if you sign up for a paid program they financially support me.
I think they're a good partner for our community because they promote the same things we do.
Tons of free knowledge and a business model that supports them for deeper subjects.
Hope you all enjoy! ˢʰᶦˡˡ ˢʰᶦˡˡ ˢʰᶦˡˡ

The announcement today was for Aethermancer which is our third game being published by Offbrand Games!
Aethermancer is a Monster-Taming Rogue-Like and it's insanely fun and difficult with wild combos as you flesh out your builds.
Played it for four hours today and did an interview with some of the dev team from Moi Rai.
If you've never heard of them before they also made Monster Sanctuary.
Adam from their team made some art based on chats demands.
It's a legless Slithering Ferret with Magic Lobster Claws... it's also on fire.
You can see it down below with all the iterations!

Got a cool blogpost from our sponsor Threatlocker.
They sent this out last year but it's about breach with Disney.
You can follow through and see what methods were used and an overview of it all.
Also, it was a furry hacktivist group called "Nullbulge" which is ridiculous.

North Spore is now sponsoring the stream!
They are a mushroom company and make really quality growing kits, accessories, merch, and rad stuff like mushroom hot chocolate.
I can wholeheartedly say that their stuff is good as I've been buying from them since mid 2022.
Most of the pictures you've seen of my grows are from stuff I got through their site.
Also, no this is not for psychedelic mushrooms.
It's for food, you goblins.

A little over 48 hours ago Dune Awakening dropped the server binaries to different hosts.
We reached out to Nitrado and they setup 10 initial private servers for us for the launch.
3 of these are planned to be dedicated to streamers and their communities.
5 of them are planned to be available to our community via password and will leak immediately.
2 of them are planned to be fully public and unlocked.
Make sure to join the <@&1361600004057464872> role in id:customize for more updates.
This can be found towards the bottom by selecting "Dune" to get the role.
Our hope is to create an environment where everyone can compete with one another.
We DONT want everyone to be allied so we're not running a giga-guild for this.
More information about our servers will be up before launch in 3 hours.
Arrakis is a test. Good luck on the dunes.
Massive thank you to Nitrado for putting in so much legwork on this.
Also huge thanks to @graceful widget for coordinating it all like the wormy nerd he is.

The North Spore blocks I got have started fruiting.
This is an Italian Oyster mushroom and will become part of glorious ramen when it's ready.
I will take some photos throughout its growth cycle and update you guys when the other ones fruit as well!

Some blocks finished fruiting and I got some nice pics for you guys.
Some of them have already started their second round so I'm ready to harvest those shortly.
The Italian Oysters got enormous in just a day or two after the last post.
The Lion's Mane is coming through now and the King Trumpets are just now pinning.
Tasty is on the way.
As for the new BoomRoom II tent it's done dramatically better than my old homebrew setup.
I have contamination in my homebrew setup so I am moving everything to the BoomRoom one.
It's just a better version of my scuffed home depot build.

Many of you have been asking in our chats about Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE so Thor has summoned me to provide information for you here 
Thor had a good time playing the game, being a big fan of the anime and manhwa, and was really pleased that this was not a Gacha game at all!
