Birthday Stream, December 22

Birthday Stream, December 22

Hey everyone! Since I'll be on my own for my birthday this year I decided to have a Patron-exclusive birthday stream! So an AMA mixed with normal random fun. I'll be going live at 7:00pm EST, and probably going for a few hours. It'll be on the dedicated stream channel on our discord, link below. And since it's an AMA, don't forget to leave any and all questions you have down in the comments! :-...

Just a quick update.

Hi there everyone,


I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was, well, not great. As anyone who follows me on Twitter will probably know.
