Welcome to my blog!

This will serve as a longer-form journal of the events here in my workshop.  Rather than clutter my Twitch profile with my offline thoughts, rather than subject myself, my followers and fellow VTubers to the constraints of Twitter, I figured I would move some of them here.  Think of it as an extension of my /etc/motd and Twitter feeds, which I will dedicate to much more immediate matters concerning my channel.  I'll still post those here and on my Twitter, space on the latter permitting.  Another reason is that I do not think Facebook will let me create an account that's completely separate from my IRL one, and I do not want them mixed up.  That said, at this point in time, Facebook will be unlikely, at least for now.

Please note that Discord will not be a matter of consideration, though I still encourage you to check it out!  Links are in the sidebar and I'll likely get a signposting account for my socials, streams and videos soon.

Basically, the hierarchy will go something like this:

/etc/motd on Twitch:

  • Matters on either the day's stream or immediately-forthcoming streams
  • Matters of immediate urgency best addressed at stream-time
Length:  Very short

Twitter:

  • Matters of immediate, near-immediate or immediate-future urgency
  • Direct interaction with followers and/or other VTubers.
  • Matters of the day's or forthcoming streams, ranging from immediate to foreseeable-future
  • Random quick thoughts
  • Shitposts
Length:  Single or multiple tweets; whatever works at the time

Blog

  • Deeper dives into topics and issues that affect me as a VTuber or VTubers and/or streamers in general specifically or macrocosm issues that end up including us
  • News concerning my streaming and VTuberdom in various degrees of urgency
  • Personal life news (within reason)
  • Items I have posted on /etc/motd on my Twitch page
  • Any items I feel are better-served being posted here than the other to locations
Length:  Very short to very long

I wanted to do this so I could keep things a bit on the tidy side, especially on my Twitch feed, while still allowing interaction with me.  Twitter's great for quick thoughts for any range of time while allowing for interaction with me.  But for much deeper discussion, neither forum is the best, so I will write those here.

Thanks for checking out my blog and hope to catch you on my next stream!

Being a helper in service of country and her citizens I hope everyone is doing well thus far.  Well, given recent events, I really should include the disclaimer "given the circumstances". That said, I cannot help but be concerned--worried even--about what lies ahead.  In the past, I felt that wondering whether what we witnessed last Wednesday could ever happened here was borrowing trouble, but I could not keep that thought out of my mind, even though I buried it deeply in the recesses of my mind. Needless to say, they paid all that borrowing back.  Plus interest.  A lot of interest.  T.T However, lots of people have risen to the occasion to help others.  One VTuber living near the Washington, DC area around the Capitol offered rides to those who needed to get home safely to comply with the curfew imposed after the events of last Wednesday.  Acts like these exemplify the phrase "service to country".  It also reminds me of something that was said s...

 My final long-form post on my Twitch's /etc/motd segment: [12/28/2020] Hi, all! For those who came to my Christmas Eve stream, I'd like to say thank you SO much for coming!  It was a lot of fun!  I'd love to give a particular shout-out to  FalseEyeD for showing up, too!  He's been doing so much for the VTubing community of late! Also, my younger sister celebrated her birthday on Saturday!  She's not a streamer, but I wanted to shout her out as well! Thanks to all of you who've followed me on Twitter and here on Twitch!  I finally breached the 50 follower requirement for affiliate!  You guys are just the best! Also, on a more serious note, while we get ready for the new year, please do not drive impaired, whether by intoxication, by distraction, and one with which I have personal experience, by fatigue.  The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reported in 2017 that 795 people were killed in what they called "drowsy-driving"...

 Lots of news to report as well as some thoughts Hi, everyone! I'm sorry for being such a stranger on this blog.  Things have been quite busy here at the Phloxworthy Workshop.  In fact, there's a new branch here, which itself is a news item! Phloxworthy Labs open for business! I created a second channel on Twitch to try new technologies, techniques, software, hardware, and assets without messing up my main channel.  This will also test updates to existing streaming stuff as well.  Additionally, I'll try out other streaming setups, e.g. StreamLabs OBS (I'm mainly a StreamElements OBS.Live as well as bare-bones OBS girl here) so I can get the feel of it so I can render aid for those who are starting or are needing troubleshooting.  I'm also testing technologies that can be used for others to make use of.  That way we can all benefit from the work I'm doing! If you'd like to check in on the goings-on in the Labs, feel free to drop by at https://twitch.tv/...
