I'm gonna have to hold off on streaming. The servers I've been trying to connect are having some severe latency issues resulting in low upload speed. I ran my own speedtest and I'm fine, it's just the servers on Restream's end. In fact, this isn't the first time their issues have forced me to cancel. I think around Black Friday, I'm going to reconsider my subscription with them.

Hello folks, I think it's time I pull the bandages off on some issues that have transpired within the last weeks. I highly encourage reading the whole thing, but TLDR: Dude gets banned and further justifies it, I get called a phobe by either someone who is unhinged or is the same person ban evading, current and touchy topics are still welcome to discussions as long it doesn't break ToS, YouTube streams in the future will be made private and made public when stream concludes due to YouTube's online infrastructure.
The person named Anime Phase (do not harass him) has been banned, and has been ban evading my chat which has resulted in me putting my chats on followers only. What has led to his ban was due to tirades of remotely repeating himself (either in disagreements or lacking context) towards me multiple times in the past and doing the same to other viewers on here or other platforms. The tipping point virtually started in late last month when he was spamming my DMs on Discord (Image 1/2) when I already stated in an update and to him that I was going back to day shift at my job and was streaming around 4AM. It got so bad that he woke me up, and led to my attempt to respond back (Image 3). A stream later when I was playing Max Carnage he said he was going to "test chat" when we both knew YouTube's stream latency is horrible, and I told him to not do it. Proceeds to call me a scumbag, I think "wtf ever", and sometime after in a BRB he started doing his "tests". At that point I took the displeasure to ban him. Since the ban, he has been ban evading, claimed that I never messaged him on Discord (which I couldn't because he did something), and ends up crossing the line in image 4. I can take insults, name calling, but this was absolutely unhinged. Up to this point, despite taking no pleasure in banning him, the amount of evades, and spam further justified his ban.
Another thing I want to draw attention to is image 5 where I'm apparently a phobe that's justified to being doxed. I'm inclined to believe that it's Phase doing this knowing how recent the user was made (Image 6). It's not the first time I've been called such buzzwords, but I sure some of you are aware that I do talk about certain communities' subgroups as like to call them on X. Whether it's objective criticism or jabs here and there, my core philosophy is that bad actors under any community under the sun are not immune to objective criticism or to be called out. Hell, I'm not immune to it. I've been outspoken about bad actors and outliers in communities that I believe stigmatize and hurt their respective communities for years. I understand that what I say can be alienating, but I want to make it clear that virtually any topic is open to being discussed when deemed appropriate. I say virtually because I know there's topics that I'm not too certain that breaks ToS.
Last thing and I'll keep it brief. Due to YouTube's ongoing issues with chat and stream latency as a whole, effective immediately I have decided to keep future streams private until the streams have concluded. YouTube seriously needs to fix the latency as a whole because even at the lowest latency. It doesn't compare to Kick or Twitch. I still want to upload highlight videos and make shorts of some kind, but I've been saying that for the longest time now. Anyhow, that's going to do it for this bizarre and unfortunate update. As always, take it easy.

Hey folks, I know it's kinda tiring for me to say this, but I'm going to cancel today's stream. My next hope if anything is to stream early before work and sometime after. Which sucks because I really want to continue Rare's DK series, but things are playing out like I would like to. Fingers crossed that things play out better tomorrow.

I'm gonna postpone the stream for now. I'm gonna try to aim for the afternoon if I can.

Oh snap! X-Fusion just got a page on RetroAchievements. I know I'm already doing a playthrough of the hack, but the moment I get wind of the achievement set dropping, I'm definitely down to attempt to master it. Gee, the DK Country series is really being pushed back.

Mastery #51 Ok, Jaws is actually not that bad of a game that some make it out to be. Once you get the figure out a comfort zone, you can essentially rack up points and shells pretty easily. Definitely give this a chance.

Mastery #50 The big one. Won't lie, I do feel kinda dirty for what I did to "master" it by using codes. Maybe someday I'll come back to master the Genesis version since I came so close in my bonus stream. #RetroAchievements

Yeah, stream is being postponed for the time being. I have no idea when I’ll stream before leaving for vacation.

Mastery #49 My first ever LGN game mastered. Trying to get a deathless playthrough was definitely a challenge. But if you take your time, know your placements and a little luck, you'll get this.
