Monday, Backup Reads, Work, and Mistakes

My previously-thought brilliant idea to keep track of my favourite YouTubers was not that brilliant after all. It would still give TubeTube all the clicks.

Currently, there is no escape from that machine. Give it time, and there will be somewhere else.

Meanwhile, I might have encouraged an exodus. I can hope. In the meantime, I am sticking as much to my guns as I can. The news I want to get is not available anywhere else.

Bleh.

Part of today's shenanigans, after I drop Mayhem off to take the train to work, is going to be moving my TubeTube content over to my PeerTube. Not that they ever got a lot of mileage in the corporate venue 9_9

They're not getting my data. Fuck 'em.

Today, I'm reading my story, writing a story, and thinking about what I can do to put my stories out there better.

My ankle's starting to protest at being put up, and it's being less of a little bitch, so there's some small hope that something in my life is going to improve.

I have to keep going in hope. It's the only way to avoid sinking into despair.

Challenge #04613-L229: Adequate Warning is Insufficient

Some doors should remain closed. Woe befalls those who do not heed that wisdom. -- Deathshead419

There was a dread portal. It was large, and a very strange shape. Around its frame were images of skulls and bones. Depictions of disease. Predators with snarling mouths and bared fangs. Horrible monsters poised to attack. There was a bar across the door of immensely heavy granite. It was chained into place with D'varuv eternal steel. There was also a massive stele, also of solid

Sunday, Enacting PLNs

I have a means to watch my fave TubeTubers without setting off the All Hallowed Algorithm or making it look like I'm still watching YouTube. There's jiggery-pokery involved, of course, but it's better than bowing to the wowsers.

I have written my story for the Archive, and I should at least think about my "leaving YouTube manifesto" and maybe a reply to the "change your PFP to Clippy" thing. I need scripts or I'll ramble. It needs to be brief and snappy.

Challenge #04612-L228: Save Other Souls

A being villagers are calling a lich is stalking the deserts where the weave between worlds wears thin. Yet it is more like a living ceramic doll, the bones baked inside the clay. It withers crops, summons alien horrors, and steals the souls of the old, the sick, and children during the long nights leaving them comatose.

Wraithvine finds hirself frustrated trying to deal with this bizarre threat, but a gruff mercenary wielding a cursed sword who was tracking the lich may

Saturday, Shenanigans Ensue

I'm doing a compy swap for Miss Chaos, which means taking her TempoCompy(tm) to Adorable's, making sure her old compy works, and then taking the old compy home and leaving Adorable with the TempoCompy. Which is now the fam's TempoCompy. For all the assorted temporary computer needs. Huzzah.

Which leaves Mayhem baking the second batch of bread and doing... experiments with it. Fun. I'll find out how that went when I get home. Either way, we eat the results.

And, because

Challenge #04611-L227: Carcinisation Supremis

Geologists have discovered that old continents are not dissolved, but sink down to near the center of the earth. And now a dead continent is rising back to the surface, sending up alarming signals, as though something trapped for a billion years is stirring. -- Deathshead419

[AN: The mixture of science and unadulterated bullhockey in this prompt is going to be fun to balance]

Geology doesn't usually happen quickly. Sure, there's volcanic events, but those are, in geological terms, freak occurrences. Continental

Friday, Bread and De-YouTubing

In between bread and icing my ankle, as well as the offerings as per usual, I am removing myself from TubeTube and setting up other things.

I'll be shifting all my TubeTube content to my Peertube. Except for the story videos, as they're already in my Peertube. My miscellany channel will get my music videos and attempt at Minecraft let's plays.

In the end, all that will be left is a (hopefully) brief video explaining why I'm shutting up shop.

I'll be

Challenge #04610-L226: Irredeemable Security Measures

A pair of down on their luck ne’er-do-wells try to rob a bank during a blackout, hoping the cash will set them up until the good lady of fortune smiles upon them. Neither expected to find a monster in the vault, and, well, you can’t really call the police for help in the middle of a heist, now can you? Oh dear… -- Deathshead419

They'd been in the bank late to try begging the manager for leniency on their loan

Thursday, Bread and Nonsense

We're down to one loaf, so I'm beginning the three day journey to make four more loafs. The good news being that a batch lasts a week. Slightly longer than a week. The dubiously good news being that, because of my grinchy ankle, I can actually be home to do all of it.

What I consider to be the bad news is that the established precedence might not hold.

I'm staying off YouTube today, as protest against the bloody stupid age gating

Challenge #04609-L225: Unattended Children Will Be Stolen By Adventurers

How did young Oakroot fall in with a bunch of Heroes? It goes back to an uncaring family that blamed him for everything, and anything, that ever went wrong, a child who internalized self blame, and self shame, and a kind fighter who picked them up out of the midden, where the child was tossed when money grew scarce.

It had been a long and bloody exhausting journey just getting through these woods.

Wednesday, Rant, Shopping, Boycott YouTube cha cha cha

It's the 13 so I am staying off TubeTube today and tomorrow. In solidarity with all the other folks protesting the bloody stupid AI age limit thing.

And to add to that, I shall be doing a little something against Collective Shout. The regrettable mob of wowsers and pearl-clutchers that I happen to share a country with. Like most regrettable groups, they sometimes have a decent point. Age limiting TubeTube or forcing credit card companies to avoid income is not going to

Challenge #04608-L224: There's a Song About Smiling For Them

Galactics learn about some of the large predators that still live on earth. Including enormous reptiles like the Nile Crocodiles. Which are not only known to eat humans, if they can catch one, but are among the largest reptilian predators on the planet next to some snakes. -- The New Guy

The Alliance Guide to Galactic Wildlife has this entry on Terran reptiles: Most of them are venomous, poisonous, or otherwise dangerous. Do not approach unsupervised. Not even if their owner has

Tuesday, Patreon and Preparations

I have one chapter of ADT to share with my patrons. If I record the next video's audio, I might have more outtakes to gift them as well. I need to make the time to fix my cane cord. And it's looking like tomorrow may well be the day to commence another double batch of bread.

I can do this. I know I can do this... but the inertia to get started is too real.

And of course I have Pippi running

Challenge #04607-L223: Ultimatum Solution

All Wise and Glorious King Nydon has a problem. His daughter was (allegedly, cough, cough) turned into a goose, and while a magician duo has restored her form, the poor girl still has a bird brain. The magic twins tell the king only a quest with the one who found the goose-girl can restore her memories, the irritated pair being tasked with taking her to Wraithvine (who’ll get a few choice words in private).

Sequel to this: https://peakd.com/fiction/

Monday, Shenanigans Ensued

I gave Chaos the mission of heading to the shops to get my polident. She decided to take off to do that long about 7AM... way before the shops open. I have no idea if she learned something from this, but Mayhem got paranoid about her staying away so long, so we had to stop by and make sure she was fine.

She's fine.

I have videos to post, a story to write, and an ankle to repeatedly ice. But at least
