You know I've joked about being an old man for ages, but this is the first time I have actually felt like one.

I woke up with back pain 4 days ago, it's mostly gone and it was never bad but enough to make me think about certain movements. Damn age.

You know what's missing from Tetris99? A stat that tracks your average score. It'd be so easy to implement too.

There's bonus content included Louie and Olimar that I've never played.  You are trying to collect money to save the corporation that you work for from sinking.  Besides that, it seems the same. Still looks great to me though some textures are a little flat.

Semi interested in wii u ports. But gave up. I'm keeping Mario 3d world wii u. One wii controller keeps disconnecting. These controllers are 14 years old, older than all nephew's.

Got Paper Mario Switch. And some cash. I had to quit my job cause of covid debts mounting up. Question for everyone, how do you feel about becoming a YouTuber? I'm a fairly private person, so exposing myself (no jokes plz) in video form feels weird and scary.

GG, I'm right there with you about not showing my face.  I cannot stand the sound of my voice. I've been forced to create videos for our virtual school kids  and for a grad class but I rarel show my face.  It's gotten easier the more videos that I create but there will still be a part of me that cringes when I see or hear myself. My advice, if you really want to do this is to create a couple of practice videos and honestly look at what you want to refine before creating an account.  You will automatically have a few followers from here to support you.

Cancel culture is worrying.

I don't really mind showing off my face on the worldwide webs, at least not when I'm confident in the content that I'm putting out there. I've been doing a bi-monthly webcast for a horror convention that I go to and I've gotten pretty used to being out there because of that. Granted, I'm sharing the screen with a few other people, so my face isn't in the highest resolution so that helps.

Anyway, there's something to be said for putting out content on social media platforms if you're comfortable doing it. My wife and son started doing a tick-tock channel or account or whatever it's called when quarantine started. They've got about 20,000 subscribers now and they are in fact making money off of it. Not a ton by any means. Certainly nothing that could support a household or even one person, but it's starting to add up. They even had some people start sending them gifts, so we got a PO box to have them direct things to and they've got in a couple neat things and almost $100 in Starbucks cards.

How do you even get 20k subscribers? It's adult rated content innit? I mean it's got to be, right?  Uneasy

I'm so used to you guys using vulgar humour I'm afraid of making some mistaken joke where people find offence in it. Seems to be so many people out there wanting to take offence at everything. Like when Debra Messing said Trump should go to jail and get touched up - in not so kind words.

I may have gone overboard on Toy day. I delivered 50 presents.

Working as a youtuber is stressful. You need to keep producing content daily or the algoritm will push you to irrelavancy. Youtube keep changing the rules, so you are never sure of your future income. Companies and users abuse the fuck out of the reporting system, which is completely broken. And then there is the toxic community. I would advise against it.

Find a more stable and more noble way to earn money. Like taking dick in the ass for money!

Start an onlyfans instead, GG. You can probably find a market for Animal Crossing scenes using your BDSM room, and you won't even have to show your face!

Also if you do go down the YouTube route, I wouldn't worry about getting cancelled. You can be just as successful playing up the whole cancel culture thing as you can trying to avoid it. However, you will have to deal with dickheads, etiher way (but that's just the nature of the internet; or the world, really). Unfortunately, the odds of being able to make much money from it is pretty low. No harm in trying if you have a thick skin, though.

P.S. Sorry to hear about the job.

It isn't vulgar humour if it's earnest advice!

Manwhoring is an honorable profession and I will dick smack anyone who says differently.

I'm getting pretty good at Tetris99. I'm starting to come in first on a regular basis. Yay for me!
