An additional chart is required - ways that @neitherabaron hurts chat, and one side is "Kofi promises to jump in the goo later (they move past that zone and can't return)" and the other side is "Kofi promises to jump in the goo later (they cut off the feed to the stream as they do it)."

The Spectrum of Things That Hurt You

This is my highly philosophical and scientific map of things that can hurt you, created by me due to the prince of Persia streams by @assamkofi and @neitherabaron

I've been told that what I did was criminal. In my defense, it was fucking hilarious at the time.

We also stuffed him with progress pictures, because why not?

I’m very late posting this, but at 7pm UK time tonight, we’re gonna be playing Prince of Persia on stream!

I'm so glad you like it, and that anything of mine could be mistaken for Bird's! I've still got the OG carving (by that, I mean my dog didn't eat it) and a couple of test prints kicking around. Glad I can be known for more than just unhinged Danish things!

Today @lifetheuniverseandnothing and I have been testing out our ability to do at-home screenprinting, which: surprisingly easy once you get over the startup cost. We haven't got the exposure times perfect yet, but third time will be the charm, cause:

Screen 1: overexposed by about 2 minutes

Screen 2: underexposed by about 1 minute on the corners of the screen furthest from the UV lamp

so screen 3 will be in the Goldilocks zone for sure. we are looking at 9 minutes and moving the lamp slightly halfway through.

also shoutout to the Kofi Assam fan whose absolutely delightful Be Gay Do Crime design I copied/stole for this cause Sam and I both agreed we wanted t-shirts of it. I think it was @crustysteambird's work? it's one of my favourite things Sam's got up in his room it's so cute.

For those who want to cackle at Sam with bonus knowledge:

Fisk in the tube is regular licorice.

Yellow Ga-Jol is salted licorice.

There were also two bonus licorice bottles in there, featuring the flavours menthol and eucalyptus. One bottle contains both!

Happy fuck you and fuck your train Friday, here is the VOD of Choo Choo Charles!

Also featuring Sam nearly dying from the licorice shots a lovely fan so kindly sent us!

My little snoot fiends apparently brought a lot of people some joy, so I'm going to throw this out here. Halloween is all year round, if you never take your decorations down.

Pros of The Kingmaker Histories being an audio drama and not an animated series: No studio overhead, no enforced deadlines, extremely fast episode turnaround, capable of showing ambitious ideas on a micro-budget

Cons of The Kingmaker Histories being an audio drama and not an animated series: I will never be asked to animate Telesphore Winterlich going on Hot Ones

I kind of want to see a goose scream at a Ringwraith now...

Idk who needs to hear this, but caffeine immediately making you sleepy instead of energizing you is not just a fun quirk. You probably have ADHD.

I'm not talking about the crash that comes after it wears off, or the soothing nature of your daily coffee routine. I'm not talking about how you can build up a tolerance to where caffeine no longer effects you at lower doses, so you stay tired.

I mean if you can't let yourself drink soda or coffee before driving because it makes you sleepy within 10-45 minutes after, or you've always wondered how people can chug a Starbucks and then get to work because every time you've tried you start feeling all sluggish and Suspiciously Peaceful, that is not a normal response.

Caffeine is a stimulant. It should stimulate you. Unless you have ADHD, in which case a stimulant chills the background brain noise and you suddenly feel a lot calmer, at which point your body goes "Oh thank goodness" and pushes the Sleepy button. That's why people with ADHD get chiller and more focused on Adderall, whereas neurotypicals will get famously spastic and twitchy.

So if you've always been that weirdo who doesn't drink Coke because you have a long drive home and you don't want to risk driving drowsy, or you can have a nice warm cup of coffee in the evening and go right to bed, go to a doctor, my dude. You probably have ADHD.

Race for Refugees - 30 Tunes, 30 Days!

Hey everyone,

TL/DR: I'm going to be recording and releasing 30 folk tunes on my violin for the month of September in support of Refugee Action! You can sponsor me here:

Like most people here in the UK, I've been horrified by the events of the last few weeks. Now more than ever, it's time to show solidarity, stand up against hate and discrimination, and demand a fairer future for refugees and people seeking safety in the UK.

Refugee Action support refugees' rights and services across the UK. Race for Refugees runs for the month of September - it's a race for hope, with a difference - participants take on a challenge of their choice for the month!

I'm a folk musician. I grew up with a genuine love for the folk music traditions of the UK. I've played in folk rock groups and ceilidh bands, covering traditional songs and dance tunes. But I'm perhaps not the type of person you immediately picture when you think of UK trad-folk!

My grandpa was an immigrant from Ghana in the 1950s and was blessed to be able to build a wonderful life here. I think we should demand nothing less for today's immigrants, especially those seeking safety and asylum.

Every day in September, I'm going to be recording and releasing a traditional fiddle tune from the British isles in support of refugees. There'll be jigs, reels, hornpipes and strathspeys aplenty!

Please sponsor me if you can, and help support refugees across the UK!

Thank you!
