I don’t care if a game is over 20 years old. If there is a “no spoiler” tag, a command, and/or it’s a first play-through don’t be the jackass spoiling things for other people. Be respectful.

I for one am excited that raiding with a community of my size means I can help my friends who want Twitch Partnership get it. 🤷‍♀️ Someone else having an “easier” path to success doesn’t take away from what you personally accomplished. Celebrate other people’s wins.

TW: death Hi. Receiving a lot of messages across multiple platforms asking where I've been. My father passed away on Monday so streams are on hold until further notice while I spend time with family and get into the headspace to entertain again. I'm okay. ♥️

Stop throwing unsolicited medical advice around. I’ve got over 30k in medical debt from trying to treat my illness. I’m also a nurse. I’d NEVER tell anyone about “cures” and/or assume their medical history. This just happened to me this week while live and I’m still disgusted.

I’m slowly coming out of the worst bout w/ depression I’ve had in years. I hadn’t been responsive to emails, texts, DMs etc. It’s easy to look at someone broadcasting and think “they’re just saying that” but for some of us, diving into one part of work is a coping mechanism.

I had been feeling very down for awhile because I was losing my hair at an alarming rate (autoimmune disease related). I was told “it’s just part of living with lupus.” I kept searching. I finally found a doctor who was willing to try. It’s not 100% but major improvement.
