Father's Day
Sorry about this, I tend to try to forget Father's Day since I lost mine.
Dad's still rule, though! So DADSRULE for free credits!

Re: Aetolia's Dad
@Mazzion we were needlessly at odds for years, and my only regret where you are concerned is that we hadn't been. I'm glad @Bulrok opened up Switzerland for the both of us. While i've never had a shortage of father figures, you're easily one of my favorites and really are the coolest gaming dad around. Happy Father's day dude.

Re: Aetolia's Dad
Happy father's day to all the people out there. This is real sweet Alela! I always tell people, it is the cool people like you that keep me coming back over and over. Try and just be there for your kids, it is 90% of being a father. Support them in whatever they do, and you will be the most happy person in the world.

Re: RL Struggles, Strife, and Sadnesses
heavy stuff here
Pain is still pain. Several phonecalls about friends dead and dying. My news feed is the very worst nightmare fuel. More medical bills imminent. I am really tired. If my rp is anaemic it's because I am literally anaemic (I'm allowed to make bad jokes). I am helping to organize multiple funerals. I don't actually know how to process this much grief and illness at once. I feel like I keep loading a blue screen. I feel like I am seasoned in grieving. Loss is not new. Consecutive loss is not new. But this volume of loss all at once while ill is a new twist and I can't shut down the operating system despite the fatal errors. Fingers crossed for minimal long term damage until I can reboot and ride my safe mode into whatever fiery doom lurks in the numbed out parts of my psyche.

Re: Aetolia's Dad
I'd post a picture of him from one of our lunch meetings - but honestly? That's my favorite memory. Going to lunch with a bunch of other Aetolians, with him along with us, and just having a blast. Happy father's day old fart!

Re: Aetolia's Dad
@Mazzion is a class act through and through.
I remember his old singularities killing 19 people, all enemies, using me asbait singularity inspector down below.
He also necrosis'd the one time I premoted at him. I heard rumors that he started RPing since I left but I refuse to let such slander stain the good man's reputation.
Finally, I leave you with words of wisdom from old darkie web, spoken by someone whose name I have completely forgotten: "Some of you have never had Mazzion [screw] your mom, and it shows."
Happy father's day, pops!

Aetolia's Dad
Happy Father's Day to Aetolia's Dad, @Mazzion. Whether he's blown you up with old singularities or taught you a fancy jig, I think it's important to recognize his paternal influence. So! Let's all give it up for the old man! Share your favorite Mazzion memory below!

New show, the successor to the podcast
So, I've been thinking about this for the last few weeks. I know some of you are going to groan and say, but Aeryx you big dummy, your last attempt at the podcast wasn't that great and was only great because of the other people, Aloli chief among them, and I would say yes, you are correct.
I do think we learned a lot of positive things from the podcast though. I think overall it was a success and we had a lot of great episodes. Also still not opposed to Aloli continuing to do her Midnight Press if she ever gets time and still wants to.
My new idea is not really a podcast, its going to be more of a Show. I've went ahead and made a Twitch account separate from my own main one, which we would be using for said show.
It would be a live stream, however, I also can use the Ankyrean Archives Youtube account I made for the podcast(mostly for the gmail at the time), and use it as a real Archives like in the name, and upload the recordings of the live streams on said Youtube account for people to catch later. Also know how and can if its desired rip the audio out of the recording and still make a podcast feed.
What would this be called, and what would it be about, you ask?
I would be using a name that some other people shot down when we were trying to figure out what to call the podcast, because I like it. The Weekly Milestone.
I've already spent time making the scenes and layouts in OBS for this. I've done the best I can with what art/technical skills I have, and I think it looks alright. One thing I'd be wanting to do as we go along, for anyone who is interested or has the copies, is to put up previous or future Artisanal Contributions up as a slideshow for the Starting Soon or BRB scenes, and so forth.
I'm completely willing and ready to be on webcam for this, that's part of the fun. Any guests or people who want to come on can too as well, or they can choose not to. I've already got it setup to have a spectralizer graph for someone's voice if they just want to do voice with me on the show.
The show will have certain set segments, and then of course it will just have times where we talk about whatever we want to talk about. I'd also like to do credit giveaways either just for people sticking it out until the end of the show, or as we go along, we could do some Aetolia trivia. I can even make it different prizes, perhaps you'd like gold equivalent, etc.
Any donations would be split in half for buying upgrades for the show(better camera, better mic, etc) and also for the credit giveaways, with the initial giveaways being funded by myself until either I can fund it with donations or the Pools decide to help us out with it.
I'd really like this to be about fun every week, while having some sort of consistent thing to look forward to as well. A lot of my immediate contacts/friends from Aetolia are obviously from my tether, so I would really need Shadow to help me out here again. I don't want this to be a show just about Spirit or whatever.
I would also be streaming my Mudlet client during the show as the background, in case we want to show anything inparticular we're talking about in the game, and so forth. Would take the necessary precautions of having tells off, all channels off, etc etc. I think it could be a good teaching tool though.
Anyways, if anyone has any ideas, please post them in the thread. If anyone thinks this should be a Monthly Milestone, post it(I have had this thought too). I just think it'd be way easier on Twitch to make my own content and fun if things are slow in Aetolia than in just a voice podcast format. Chat interaction is super important.
As I wrote in the other OOC thread, I will be moving back home across country, driving by myself this time(and the first time), starting June 30th, so I will be a bit tired after that to do the first show on July 3rd/4th, so that's probably a no go. More likely to be able to do the first one the following week.
That's all, I guess. Maybe noone has any interest in this, maybe they have more interest than the podcast had, I dunno. Lets see what happens!

Re: Drawings of Aetolia
It's been a while since I last commissioned art, but when I do, it's always about people significant to Elene's life! Anthro art is difficult to commission an artist for, because fur and animalistic features aren't the easiest to draw. Although this is more cat-like and less tigrine, I absolutely enjoy how it turned out! If the style is what you like, I definitely recommend looking the artist up at her card.

I haven't posted in a long time. So, figure, let's post the most random photo I can find from my vacation. He's catching up to my short self too fast.
