  Indulged in Reddit for a week or so. Could already feel the karma-grubbing mentality burrowing back into my brain. So, time to log out and leave it be for another several years.

  Have been pondering what to do with all the Deltarune thoughts rattling around my head, and I'm thinking a Let's Play style series of YouTube videos might work. It's a time commitment, but not as daunting as a scripted video essay.

  It's Groundhog Day in Faerûn! Weren't we just here, at the entrance to the Grand Mausoleum? Maybe we'll make it inside, today! https://twitch.tv/kaliranya #Twitch #LiveStream #KaLiveRa #ENVtuber #vtuber #furry #Live2D #PNGtuber #BaldursGate3

  I volunteered to beta read a fanfic for a 17-year-old Deltarune writer My commentary went to 12 pages in PDF, not counting back-and-forth chatter in Tumblr DMs. The story itself is 10 pages long. Hopefully this is a positive experience and doesn't forever dissuade her from writing and/or seeking feedback 😅 #fanfic #writing #editing

  I haven't accomplished much in my life, but there are several people whose days are made better when they get to hang out with me, and perhaps that is enough.

  It's a good thing cringe is dead, because I'm a 44 year old woman who just discovered Tumblr and won't shut up about it

  I'm a bit off my game for immune system reasons (get vaccinated! it's worth it!), but not so bad as to miss stream. This week we undergo the Gauntlet of Shar! https://twitch.tv/kaliranya #Twitch #LiveStream #KaLiveRa #ENVtuber #vtuber #furry #VideoGames #BaldursGate3

  ugh, tech rot Used to be, if you ordered something online, you'd get a tracking number in your receipt. I made the mistake of letting PayPal facilitate a purchase... it wants me to install the app to track packages. I install the app. It wants me to link my email to track packages. I attempt to link my email. It keeps aborting the process any time I need to leave the app, such as to retrieve my password from password manager or perform 2FA. I give up.

  Trying to figure out dinner and having the issue "everything sounds delicious" rather than "nothing sounds good" This probably means I have not adequately fed myself earlier in the day, huh 😅

  RE: https://vtuber.house/@kaliranya/117381582169933157 Naturally, this thing that I definitely did not do has meant I'm slow to get started on the day's stream. But stream I shall! We missed last week due to John being off on adventures, so it's time to get going again! https://twitch.tv/kaliranya #Twitch #LiveStream #KaLiveRa #ENVtuber #vtuber #furry #Live2D #PNGtuber #RPG #BaldursGate3 #videoGames

  You know the feeling rebutted by the "two cakes" meme? Where something's not worth doing if you're not *the bestest* at it, getting discouraged if someone else is more skilled? That's... not an innate human thing, is it. It comes from being raised in a hypercompetitive society. You can't just play, you've gotta win. You can't just make art, your art has to sell, and to sell it has to outcompete. You can't just get the gi...

  I named this promo image "Baldur's Gate 3 2026", but I'm beginning to think we'll still be playing it by 2028! Let's make some progress today, shall we? https://twitch.tv/kaliranya #Twitch #LiveStream #KaLiveRa #ENVtuber #vtuber #furry #Live2D #PNGtuber #BaldursGate3 #VideoGames #RPG

  Language shifting under my feet: now is it not only awkward to refer to "villain's minions" as "goons" but now I find myself reluctant to say that I "crack" a Clue or other sacrificial game object in Magic: the Gathering #MagicTheGathering #language #slang

  I would rather have a freeform "player says what they're trying to do, GM describes whether they succeed or fail" fiat system than "GM tells player to roll some dice, player outputs a number, GM says whether that means success or failure". If you're asking me to engage with the mechanics of the game, I need to know what I'm shooting for. Announce the target number, it's that simple! #TTRPG

  John is feeling poorly, so no Baldur's Gate III today, alas! Chance of a make-up stream later in the week.

  Remember, kids, don't buy booster packs to get the cards you need Raid dungeons and caves instead. Grab those treasure chests and spellbooks, and get out

  if anybody ever redeems the "Kali reads something" channel point thing again I think I'm gonna do the AI hater monologue If I had kids I'd suggest taking this to speech competitions https://anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/haterdom/2025/08/26/i-am-an-ai-hater.html

  Sometimes when I'm playing a game of the card/board variety, I get more entertainment out of losing in some spectacular or unusual fashion than I would had I won. Yes, one does owe it to the other players to *try* -- there's good reason "throwing" a game is against social contract -- but a hilarious mistake can make for a more memorable play session than a solid victory. I think this would be an alien concept to some folks I've played with...

  Won't you follow me into the dark? The Underdark, that is! (Upperdark, apparently.) BloodRedTiger and I continue our delve into the surprisingly well-lit cavernous underworld of Faerûn... https://twitch.tv/kaliranya #Twitch #LiveStream #KaLiveRa #ENVtuber #vtuber #furry #Live2D #BaldursGate3 #RPG
