Been a long year. Lots went on. Tech issues abounded. Many things didn't work out. But, it's still been a good year. I hope yours was good, too, in spite of any set backs along the way. Stay safe through the holidays, whichever ones you celebrate.

Long time no update. What's been going on, you ask. Well...
Still playing blind over at YouTube.
No longer live streaming. Too much brain drain.
Back surgery.
And, all while battling my diminutive nemesis.
Joy! Happiness! Butterflies! And, of course, unicorns. :)

As of now...the focus of the youTube channel is Blind gameplay. That means playing games I have never played before, start to finish. To that end, give me game suggestions! What games would you like to see us to play blind?

Disability is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, per Social Security. Which sucks. It came faster than expected. Which doesn't ♥♥♥♥. And, typing is becoming more problematic. Which sucks more than the news. But, hey! Good times! Right? (lol) Always good times with the Leprechaun around. It is, after all, never boring. :)

Disability hearing took place last month. Now, I get to wait 5 months (or more) to find out what their decision is. The wheels of government go sooooo slowly...

Migraines ♥♥♥♥. I hope you don't suffer from them. Rare migraine forms ♥♥♥♥ even worse. I hope you don't suffer from those either. Hoping I can get all my content put together for this week without over-stressing and making things worse.

Well, one broken and extracted tooth later... (It's a Leprechaun plot, I tell you.)

Last night, my father passed away after a long battle with cancer.

He led a very full life. Three children, 9 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, a wife who loved him and he loved deeply. He had lots of friends, everywhere.

Did I have the relationship with him I should have? No. I'm not sure anyone really does, though many get close. Did I love him dearly? Absolutely.

I already miss being able to call him and talk. I already miss hearing his stories. I already miss knowing he was there when I needed my dad. But, I'm very glad he can finally rest without suffering.

Rest in peace, good sir. Rest in peace.

Finished Metro 2033 Redux, from my son's inventory. Nice to play a game for fun. Much to my surprise, I got over 60% of the achievements, too. That's because of a LOT of restarts due to my stupidity and such. And, or course, I blame the Leprechaun for all that.

Coming up on 2 years of gaming videos on YouTube. Quite the ride. Quite the learning curve. Still battling health stuff, too. Interesting combination of stuff. But, that's what makes life so interesting. Right? I hope you are learning to enjoy the ride you are on. I am definitely...mostly...enjoying mine.

Still battling nerve issues. AND! Now...a sprained thumb (possibly worse since it isn't getting better. BUT!! Christmas was wonderful! Got a couple new games, a new microphone, a new (better) CPU cooler, and even a small teleprompter!!! So, 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward is still progress. And, I'll take progress!

Well...hand/arm nerves are still borked. Darn it. Doctors have no idea why or what to do about it. Double darn it! Meanwhile, I tripped over a curb...walking at night...and messed up my left wrist/thumb. So, controller use is a problem for a little while now. Triple Darn it! Getting tired of this!

Well. Still no multi-player. Darn it. And, possibly never, according to the doctors. Darn it. Meanwhile. I'm brain training using Aim Lab. And, I'm checking out other games for my Random Game Saturday series. Check out my YouTube channel for those.

OH! By the way! Many thanks to steam users griffinslayer and thatguyonyahoo for sharing their libraries with me. It was a pleasure to return the favor, too. (I think I got the better deal, though...) Great family members are AWESOME!!!

Well. It sucks. But, my hand and arm are still messed up. So, still no MMO for me. My son still plays one or two of them. I'm really getting kind of tired of not being able to do games with other people, darn it.

You may notice some MMO games getting played. That is my son, GriffinSlayer, playing on my account. Due to nerve problems in the left hand and arm, and other such problems, I do not currently play MMO. But, I am working on getting there!!!
