After today I’ll be without a PC until the move on Tuesday. I’ll still be around on Discord from my phone, just a bit slower to respond. Thanks for being such an amazing community. See you on the other side. Eko

Yesterday I spent the entire day recording the studio for the last time. It’ll be a short video, but it was tough knowing it was the final one ever filmed in that space. Today we’re tearing it all down. Definitely a bittersweet day.

Hey folks! Thank you for making our final studio stream unforgettable. We raised $1,000 for Extra Life, an amazing start after the Children’s Miracle Network Elevate Conference. I’m incredibly grateful for this community’s generosity.

Last night honestly left me a little speechless. The kindness from this community was overwhelming — 50+ gifted YouTube memberships and over 250 Twitch subs. It nearly broke me in the best way. Truly grateful for all of you and your kindness.
