Understandable, though I will put some convincing with 230 is the race start, the races are 15 minutes each.

I do not know where the villainy is originating, but okies!

OKAY, SO HERE'S WHAT WE LEARNED

The S800 curb-Stomps the 601 on straights and uphills
The Trabant Gives no fucks about curbs
Kaito is cool
considering a 15 second per-lap gap between the cars, balance ain't gonna work, so this race is now gonna be a multiclass event.

Surprise! Saturday Stream for once. We're gonna be tuning the cars out for an upcoming Smol Showdown Exhibition race between the Trabant 601 and Honda S800 with the help of @kaitonasa.vtubers.racing!

Hop on in for a sneak peak at what's in store!

I am to be feared.

this is embarrassing.

My food stamps didn’t renew this month, and I’m completely broke. I’m trying to get it sorted, but for this month…I could use some help.

I know money is tight for all of us, so no pressure or obligation. I just have no choice but to reach out.

If you're able, please give my dear friend Zero some help.

Zero has been one of my biggest supporters since I started my journey with streaming, so let's give her all of that support back plus more!

ERRYBODY LARPING THO

I give you a series of moving pictures featuring Arsene being a cuddlebug

A screenshot from Pokemon Play It! V2 featuring some woefully dated CG of an Ash Ketchum-esque playdough child

Well that was a nostalgic stream. Also oh my dog was 1999 budget CG gloriously horrifying.

I completely forgot about streaming this weekend.

I'm gonna make it up during a midweek stream, and if all goes well staring at the shovelware I played as a kid.

I'm also like 90% certain I'm gonna have to bust out a virtual machine for this.

Race Over!!

I am mega tired, but that was super fun :3

Thanks to everyone who joined / raiding in during the race

And thank you to @adastravrt.bsky.social for letting me drive with y'all <3

(This clip sums up the last 4/5 hours quite well)

It is time for @prismaticmotorsports.com Race for a Cause 2026! Let's have a good time and raise many money for Belong To!

So uh... this is awkward, but I can not get a handle on the car, so I will not be driving.

I'll likely hop in for moral support at least.

it was a good suggestion

Not my call, but I'd look at it if you did

FUKKET WE BALL

Last 2 streams I had to switch to png mode because... I think Unity?

I don't know what it is, but unity games tend to make my vtubing software freeze. (vseeface/vnyan)

Alright, we're going live in 5 with the first Taphouse talk!

One last bit of April Foolishness:

At 730PM CDT I will be streaming the first in a new series of stream/video essay hybrid thing. Feel free to join, drinks and snacks in hand as I yap about one of my favorite niche microgenres of games, the humble Shitbox Simulator.

The barktender as a furry!

April Foolishness #2: I reached out to the wonderful @yeensandbeans.bsky.social to concept what the Barktender would look like as a furry, and she delivered this adorable creature! Very scritchable.

If you also want to play Russian Roulette with a fursona, reach out to her!

And the first part if that is opening a merch store despite being hugely small as a streamer... largely because I wanted drinking glasses.

We got glasses, buttons, stickers, and a shirt. More merch to follow over time, but theres enough for me to declare it open.

Okay I'm not a fan of Aril Fools stuff just being mini hoaxes, so instead if that, Imma do stuff that sounds like a prank, but is in fact legit.
