Today's a bit of a mixed bag, but I'm actually quite happy overall!

Hi, all.

I just wanted to talk about some recent events along with one that happens every year this date.

For one, today would have been my dad's 77th birthday.  He passed away 15 years ago this coming June 30th.  Not a day goes by that I don't think about him.  Sometimes, I see him in my dream.  I had tweeted recently that I had seen him in one of my dreams.  I woke up crying.  I think with all that's going on in my life that he'd be proud of me and he would still accept me even though I came out as trans in 2019.  And with my VTuber career taking off, I'd like to think he would be really proud of me right now.

Which brings me to recent events, which, fortunately are much happier to report.  For one, I just had my first collab with three wonderful VTubers, KeikoKup, Seleneos of Kimochi Cafe and HoneyKub.  This was borne out of a conversation I had with Keiko during her first-ever gaming stream (she normally has art streams, so go check her out!).  The topic of Phasmophobia came up, where she mentioned that she had never played it multiplayer before.  I wanted to give her this experience, so I set up the collab with a couple of others I have previously played the game with, "Kim" as we like to call her, along with her kouhai, HoneyKub.  We had a really fun time, with Keiko really enjoying her first outing in a multiplayer environment.  I can't wait until we have our next collab whatever the game!

That brings me to another thing that happened as a result of yesterday's stream.  I finally crossed the finish line and am now a Twitch affiliate!  *cheers*

When I started doing this gig, I knew it would be a lot of work.  Once I realized what I needed to do, things have really taken off.  I owe a debt of gratitude to Kim and HoneyKub as well as the community that surrounds them both for all the love and support I've received.  I also appreciate the friendship that's growing between me and Keiko.  That friendship got us to get this collab started!  We must do something like this again!

While I am sad that Dad can't be here to see how far I've come in more ways than one, I'd like to think he'd be proud of what I've accomplished.  And to all of you whom I've met thus far who've accompanied me through these earliest parts of my VTuber career, you just are just the best.  I love you all!  I'm over the moon right now, even though NASA's SLS only just recently had a green-run hot-fire test and SpaceX's Starship SN9 hasn't flown yet with the hope of a lack of a RUD at the end!

Much love,

--Katt.  =^.^=

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/...
