Modern society, I decide, is just a never-ending cycle of ignoring people for a vague illusion of control and going crazy when the same is done to you.

Zeromaster Hiatus Update

First off, thank you all for the support this year so far, especially during my Live2D Debut! I really appreciate the feedback and response to it all. I wish I could respond to each individual message but there is never enough time in the day to do so, so I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who has been helping & supporting me, words cannot describe what ya’ll mean to me.

Now then, let’s hop right into this! As many of you know, shortly after my Debut I announced that I will be taking a short hiatus as I am in the process of moving from an apartment into a house. This was something my roommates and I were offered in April but we were unsure of it. After seeing the place we had decided the Wednesday before the debut stream, that we were going to accept the offer. The earliest we could move in was April 20th (heehee funny day) which I was planning to spend that day moving over what I could fit in my car as well as do some measurements to run Ethernet in the upstairs bedrooms.

Here’s where things get complicated. Due to an unforeseen personal event that I will not be discussing further, we are unable to get into the new house until further notice. Now this is not a big deal since we still have our apartment till June 1st as our last month’s covers May’s rent, however we had planned to move in before The start of May as we are expecting a visitor who is staying with us for a few weeks and we didn’t want to be moving in that time.

On top of all that, I am the best man at my brother’s wedding and it is on the first weekend of June with the bachelor party the weekend before. Not to mention, I had been frantically organizing, as I was planning to move most of my stuff this weekend, however that isn’t happening now cuz we can’t get into the house yet.

All of this compiled with the fact that I had been pulling a lot of long nights with less sleep up until the day before my debut getting things ready for it…and I STILL didn’t have everything I wanted ready for the debut so I was panicking and stressing about everything. Once my debut was over, I had decided, I am tired, I am moving soon, I need a break, so I announced the hiatus, only for things to get even more stressful right after that.

I’ve had some time to reflect and I realize that streaming and content creation were a stress reliever for me and by basically putting it on hold I was not only piling my stress on, but I was tired, I was working too hard and most of all I was anxious about this move, the wedding and many other things. So after discussing it with my partners I came to a conclusion, I love streaming, but I have been stretching myself too thin.

This is all something I knew for a while. I went so hard at it that I was spending less time with my friends. Everything had to be content, even hanging out with my friends and I hated that I was getting that way. It really hit home when my roommate pointed out that we hung out more before we lived together then in the year plus we had been roommates. TBF, it was because I was no longer shackled to my household I grew up in, I could make my own schedule so long as it does not interfere with my day job or sleeping, it was so freeing. Not to mention, my first year living on my own was really stressful and bad on my mental health where doing the simplest of adult stuff scared me and would make my anxiety run rampant making me worse and worse.

So I absorbed myself in content, because it made me happy and kept me away from all the things that stressed me out, but with that I was slacking on a lot of my other responsibilities, and I could feel a burnout coming. So I took the hiatus but then suddenly without streaming, I started getting anxious as I had no stress relief outside watching movies/tv, playing games or hanging out with my partners.

All this has led me to re-evaluate how I tackle content going forward. I enjoy streaming and content creation, but it shouldn't be the only thing I enjoy. I need to spend proper time with my friends, partners and roommates and not have it always revolve around content. So with all of that I have decided, at least until June to adopt the old #ZeroStreams 2017-2019 Schedule of 2 times a week with sometimes a 3rd. Tuesdays & Thursdays have always been my go to nights so I think that will continue with Saturday being a sometimes wildcard day. With this I'll also be holding off all my planned and pre-planned collabs till further notice, with the exception of collabs with Sky & Kurama as those are low effort and require minimal planning. As for my other content, here's what I'm thinking. #TokuTuesday will still happen every Tuesday night around 11pm or 12am ET. #ZeroPlays will be taking a hiatus until further notice, #PowerPlays episodes have been pre-recorded since December 2021 and will continue to be produced unless otherwise stated, this of course means that there will only be 2 - 3 Let’s Play videos a week until #ZeroPlays returns. #ZeroStreams Highlights are still being worked on and will be released when they are ready, however the weekend clips will be on hold. The Zeromaster Reviews/Video Series will have videos come out when they are finished, there will be no set schedule for them. Anything else I missed will be on hiatus until further notice.

I just wanna end this off by once again thanking everyone who has been helping and supporting me these past few years. All of what I do is impossible to do without the support of those of you who continue to support and watch. As always, monetary support is appreciated but never required and if you would like to support me but can’t afford to do so in that way, sharing and spreading the word is just valued and appreciated. Thank you for reading, I look forward to bringing you even more great content going forward.

Love

Everything I had, you took it all. Now no one gets close, I've got these walls. Afraid to take a step, for if I fall. Forced to take off running, can barely crawl.

Leaving you I'll feel relief. Seven realizations to keep it brief. Patching up some holes with these new leaves. Away the wind will take me on this breeze.

Mountain climbing was not my suit. Forest dwelling is the proof. Darkness fades, clouds on the move. Freedom harken, breaking loose.

Swimming deep I found a Rose. What got wet, barely my toes. Learning lessons, it's what you show. Humbled deeply and forced to grow.

Quiet growth or making waves. Sequenced melodies make them behave. Feelers growing, oh my days! Learning to revolve these power plays.

My Room Means My Rules

She’s not quite eight-years-old, but she has thoughts, opinions, and convictions that would rival someone three times her age. Our daughter and her family living in northern Virginia reworked their home to offer their daughter a room of her own. Having shared a bedroom with her little brother due to limited space was a necessity. But Sloane’s parents worked their magic–giving up office space for…

i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding

Also, there is so much hand-wringing over the ethics of BDSM and while obviously it is worth taking care about ...sensation seeking is a thing. Many, many people enjoy eating habanero peppers and/or watching movies that make them cry. The conceptual leap from there to the idea that it's possible for sex to hurt good is a very short one, and sometimes it REALLY is as simple as that.

Memes shared by kids who grew up on starships I think they should have sea scout/land scout beef with kids that grew up on Starbases

The most unrealistic thing about Baldur's Gate 3 is how you have a group of 25+++++ year olds that are perfectly ok sleeping on the floor every night.

I sit on the floor for five minutes and I just about need to call Withers for a resurrection and even if he brought me back, I still have the *Bad Back* debuff.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

Deal with the devil

"Yes! Show me the power of the Red Crown! I have missed it so..."

tav being canonically so attractive that people just throw themselves at them is super funny as a galemancer because like so many people in-game (and the game itself at times) call gale either annoying or pathetic straight up to his face but tav is turning down all of faerun for him. everyone desires them carnally and they are busy getting ready to be introduced to gale's cat over dinner.
