#PastebinMonday 06/21/2021 Falling Behind on Video Uploads Edition

Hey guys, how’s it goin?

I'm letting my sleep go again and it's affecting my motivation to work on uploading videos. Not only are my stream archives way behind—join my YouTube membership for as little as 99 cents a month to see the older broadcasts I've done this year—but I have two Panel de Pon PBs, two sets of Beyblade VForce PB videos, and a tutorial on how to get the eight second Lakitu in Tetris Attack to put together. This is the kind of week where I probably just have to sit down and push videos out and hope I don't neglect my exercise in the process. It's unfortunate that this doesn't pay the bills in a way that would let me hire a decent editor, but c'est la vie.

That said, here is a provisional schedule for my streams this week as there is so much subject to change on the weekdays:

(20% chance of happening) Wednesday – 8pm EDT – Tetris Attack 8 second Lakitus only – Estimate: 2 hours
(40% chance of happening) Thursday – 8pm EDT – Tetris Attack 8 second Lakitus only – Estimate: 2 hours
Friday – 8pm EDT – 70% chance of races of some sort (40% chance Panepon related), otherwise Tetris Attack 8 second Lakitus only – Estimate: 3 hours
Saturday – 5pm EDT – Beyblade VForce 1-2 IL work – Estimate: 4 hours
Sunday – 5pm EDT – Beyblade VForce 1-3 IL, maybe? – Estimate: 2 hours

Part of the reason my sleep has gotten bad is because I have become addicted to Etrian Odyssey—the first game, mind you. It's the kind of game I enjoy in spurts, but it's also the kind of game I will forget what I'm doing if I'm away from it for too long. I'm also THIS CLOSE to making my way to the second “Stratum” of the game of, like, six, I think? It really is the kind of game I should stream, instead, especially with how I'm going about my playthrough this time around. With that in mind, I will be cutting that back. On work nights, I just need to SLEEP. Go to sleep, damn it!

In random thoughts, I am getting bad ideas like moving my streams to YouTube to get access to Super Chats and adopting a V-Tuber persona to rig with better facial expressions than I can normally give due to my resting depressed face. These are ledges I need to be talked down from because it's the point of the slippery slope I will not be able to climb back from. I've already let my V-Tuber viewing habits influence my stream layout. I feel like I'm getting close to the point where I need to either go all in or cut my losses. Eight years doing this Twitch thing and 10 viewers on a given stream is still a GOOD day. Does something need to change???

That’s my life story for the week. Until next time, everyone, thanks for reading!
