I really hate how you can't directly upload webms or mp4's directly from your computer to the forum. That would require buying a lot of storage and paying fee's to keep the storage. We are already having issues with image storage were we had to delete a bunch. If we had the money we could pay for a slick website, until then you can upload to youtube and embed on the forum. I have a MEGA account. I could upload webms i plan to embed on there and then embed them here.

Hey everyone, here's what I can tell you without giving away too many personal details:
A friend of ours lost their 6 month old boy to a genetic defect on April 1st. Even though we're not related to them, we might as well be, and as such, we thought of him as our nephew. Cheeseychick is flying down to the children's hospital tomorrow morning to be with the family, while I'll be staying at our home should the family need something done here in town.
So for a while after we found out, I wasn't sure what our life would be like in the next few hours, let alone days, which is why I err'd on the side of caution, regarding the stream schedule. However, I can tell you now that plans have been made and wheels are spinning.
As of this posting, I am still planning to stream tomorrow morning from 10am - 2pm Mountain Standard Time (12pm - 4pm Eastern Standard Time). There will not be a Team Stream (Drunk Mario) this weekend and possibly not next weekend either depending on how the situation develops.
I've given myself a 2-hour gap between my and Bladerunner's stream in case I have to go longer. I shouldn't need it, but...for those of you who were at the last one, you know I had timing issues and not having any save points.
So that's what's going on, everyone. I'll see you tomorrow morning!

Thanks, JMM.
---------
I'll be playing To The Moon in today's stream (going live shortly). I feel like an atmospheric game is more my jam given recent happenings. Also, relevant subject matter.
Final Fantasy 9 will resume either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on how my schedule moves.

Update on this week's upcoming streams:
There WILL be a Saturday stream at 6pm Mountain time. However, since Sunday is Mother's day, we won't be drinking heavily. We MIGHT drink a little bit or we MIGHT not drink at all. Cheesey and I have places to be on Sunday morning and afternoon and we can't be dealing with Saturday's...side effects.
Regarding Sunday's 10am Mountain time stream, there probably won't be a stream on Sunday as (previously mentioned) I have family obligations to attend to.

Its Mother's day!? Over in the UK Mothers day is around Easter time. That is weird. This is all I read in the recent comments section and almost had a heart attack. Yeah, it's Sunday but I had to double check. No problem greeny. But hey, why not physically drink as much as you normally would, but get some soda or juice and mix some drinks so you only drink roughly half as much alcohol. Between you and cheesy I think you would get a nice buzz, but not get silly. Drink plenty of water before bed and your golden. Everybody wins!

"Roller coaster" That's pretty much the only way to describe the last week (well...months really). I'm the sole graphic designer for the local newspaper and boy what a roller coaster it. has. been. I'll be completely honest with you, my boss is no longer capable of running his business. Him and his wife are all but divorced at this point and they've been slowly dragging the business (and their kid) under. Just last week he was CONVINCED that "they" were watching him and to keep his family safe, he couldn't come to the office to work... Well... Every Friday, (if necessary) we run a B-section of our paper to the press. Boss never called, never showed up and never sent an email. Out of pure necessity, I did the B-section as well as my regular duties. Every Monday, we run the A-section of the paper to the press. Boss said he's "too busy" to come in and get it done. Again, out of pure necessity...I did it. On top of my regular duties. Annually, we release a book-sized publication detailing all the museums, vacation spots, tourist locations of the area. It is by far our most profitable and most IMPORTANT publication of the year. The deadline to get it to press was last Friday. Kind of a big fucking deal. Guess who was supposed to put it together? Guess who didn't? Guess who did. 80 solid pages of layout. 80 solid pages worth of news copy. 80 solid pages worth of ads. I designed ALL the ads for 80 pages of content. I designed layout for 80 pages of content. And I put the whole thing together...yesterday...on the Tuesday AFTER deadline. All because my boss cant be bothered to make sure he still has an income next week. As you can imagine, I'm taking today off. I more than fucking earned it. Cheesey and I are basically trying to convince the boss that we cant possibly make any money if we cant put out publications. So far, we've not been very successful in communicating that. And then there's the bigger issue. Oh yes, there's more. Since we are a small business (like 5 people work there), the money accounts aren't exactly handled in a standard business fashion. For example, instead of getting a paycheck, the boss and his wife just have access to the business account. This has been about as financially unsound as you would think. I have absolutely ZERO idea how long this is going to go on for. Maybe he wakes up tomorrow and realizes just how badly he screwed us and takes the initiative required to run his own business, or maybe I'll be the graphic designer AND the publisher for the immediate future. So for now, I'm going to MAINTAIN my regular streaming schedule AS BEST I CAN. However, and I can't stress this enough, I plain just don't know when my streams will happen anymore. Long story short, cheesey and I (and everyone else working there) are doing everything we can to save the business since the owners could give less than two shits about it and would rather spend money they don't have on lawers and investigators and forensics to get dirt on each other. I expect this roller coaster ride is far from over.

CRAP! I thought it would be about work GreenFire but I didn't know things were so bad. I am also the only Graphic Designer in my office and it is a small business so I can kind of feel your pain about deadlines etc. All I can say is I hope things get on track for you soon buddy and if you need any help we are all here for you!

Small business is a finicky thing. My dad used to own an insurance company for a while, but had to leave while the going was good. He also was a Vice President of an insurance company for a short period, about a week, before a company bought it out and brought in their own VP and Directors. What paper was it? Greenfire32

You live quite a secret life dude.. It's all very "need to know." Otherwise, that's how rumors start. It's a small town paper. Definitely not even on the nationwide radar.
