every day i inflict new psychic damage on @alternativeulster while i read Tom Clancy Jr's Rainbow Six on my lunch break

[MSI singer voice] It actually stands for Mindless Slur Indulgence

Honestly, it should be. I will fully admit I was that edgy teenager who was REALLY into their music (& Jimmy Urine’s solo stuff). Even went to one of their concerts with a friend~! So I am just sitting beside Freemind here like - yeah, I get that they have some banging tunes... but it’s just not worth it to stay in the edgelord zone... do you get what I’m talking about? Do you get I am talking about you, specifically? Do you get the metaphor??????

ended up with an ulcer on my eye from overworking so guess who has to wear an eyepatch for at least a week!

i NEED to finish my book.

there is so much awful bad shit in the world. I gotta throw my hat in the ring and make things just that much worse

i havent had the chance to watch the stream yet but from my friends posting about it im going to have a good time

just had a weird burst of productivity and now one of my last remaining charity goals left from a previous charity stream is almost done.

I still need to finish streaming the RE games (about halfway through 4 right now) and I promise to get back to it but work is kicking my ass. i'm logging close to 60 hours this week.

BUT! Once I finish these charity goals and get back to streaming more regularly i can start putting together the next charity stream. We're about $18,000 away from fully funding the drug repurposing project for PIGA-CDG and the researchers have made really good process.

Info for my next charity stream for PIGA-CDG!

I will be playing Siege for *24 hours straight*, plus celebrating Smoke and Kapkan's birthdays!

PIGA-CDG is a very rare X-linked disorder of glycosylation that so far has only been identified in about 100 children. Since it is such a rare disease, it is hard for to raise awareness and the support necessary to find a cure.

Most children who have this pass away before age 4.

This system affects every system in the body, the most common issues are delayed motor development, respiratory difficulties, and seizures.

My cousin is one of the children who has this disorder.

There is hope! A lot of amazing work has been done looking into drug repurposing and gene therapy to get treatments or a cure, but we can't do it alone.

We need funds to support this research. With your help, we could cure PIGA-CDG.

There will be donation rewards during the event as well. There will be challenges, and you can torment me as I get repeatedly flashbanged and shot at for 24 hours.

I can't promise I'll play with skill, but I will play with heart.

I’m genuinely curious about why Smoke would be a good fit for Wolfguard, considering he (in my opinion) doesn’t fit their narrative?

Okay I did not proofread this essay, so take it as-is. The essay will be below a readmore since it is a decent length at 766 words.

Also, sources: I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biological Engineering, and also I made all of this up for fun.

"Why Smoke Would Be A Good Choice For Wolfguard"

By Sarah Murphy

Since the beginning of Year 7 for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Siege, Team Rainbow has been split into smaller squads. These squads consist of Ghosteyes, Viperstrike, Redhammer, and most importantly for this essay Wolfguard, a humanitarian military unit. Five Rainbow operators left to join Nighthaven before the formation of these squads, including James “Smoke” Porter. While he is now with the PMC Nighthaven, I believe that if Smoke was still with Rainbow he would be a good fit for Wolfguard. His areas of expertise, along with his personality and psychological makeup would all make him a good choice for this team. Some may say that his gadget would make him more suited for a squad like Ghosteyes or Redhammer. However, I think he has what it takes to be on Wolfguard. Smoke’s specialty is chemistry, but based on his biography he has a large field of knowledge with a focus on biochemistry and toxicology. This would be beneficial for a team like Wolfguard whose focus is on medicine and humanitarian efforts. In the real world, when there are mass-casualty events that involve toxic chemicals and nerve agents, one of the main reasons that casualties tend to be high is that it can be difficult to figure out the agents that were used and then administer the proper treatment. Having someone whose expertise is in toxicology and biochemistry would round out the team in response to bioweapons and chemical threats, especially since groups such as the White Masks have been shown in-universe to utilize chemical weapons in attacks on civilian institutions (see Bartlett University). Wolfguard could benefit from an expert in toxicology, and Smoke would be a good candidate for this position. It is not just his skills, but also his personality that would make Smoke a good fit for Wolfguard. According to his biography and psychological profile, he excels in scientific fields and is able to handle tense situations. Some would consider him reckless, however if one were to look at the information that is provided with his elite skin (Sanguine Arsenic), this recklessness allows him to take risky actions for the benefit of others. The accompanying art for the elite skin shows him escaping a house fire after rescuing a child who was in the burning building. He takes calculated risks according to Harry’s psychological report, which can be beneficial during mass-casualty events where every moment counts. His innovative personality and breadth of knowledge would be beneficial for the variety of situations that Wolfguard faces, especially if they relate to his field of toxicology. Some may think that Smoke would not be a good fit because of his gadget. While the words “Geneva Convention Violations” are frequently brought up in relation to Smoke’s gas canisters, they did not disqualify him from being on Rainbow in the first place, so liberties must be taken in the Siege universe in regards to gas weapons. Also, the same argument does not seem to be applied as frequently to Frost, who is on Wolfguard. When it comes to gadgets, they are just not a very good argument about what is acceptable. There might be other arguments against Smoke being a good candidate for Wolfguard, but his gadget should not be taken as one of them. In conclusion, there are many reasons that Smoke would be a good fit for Wolfguard. His background in chemistry would be a good fit for helping during humanitarian military operations. While some may consider his personality to be a bad fit for Wolfguard, he does have what it takes to be a part of this squad. Also, when it comes to whether Smoke’s gadget would disqualify from Wolfguard, that doesn’t seem like a very sound argument. While it is unlikely that Smoke and the other Nighthaven operators would rejoin Rainbow, should that ever occur, I hope I have made it clear that Smoke would be a good fit for Wolfguard.

I made infographics for my big annual charity stream for http://PIGA-CDG.org in October. They cover all of the important information about the charity stream in just two slides. Please feel free to copy and share these!

i hope tumblr doesnt eat the quality but if you want the original files DM me and ill send them to you over e-mail or something

Working on one of my first times cutting a twitch VOD down into a youtube video

i have already used Yakety Sax

I was going to stream today but I went on a discovery flight and flew in a Cessna aircraft for the first time today, and I am now trying to figure out what it would take for me to get my pilot's license

the current answer is: a whole lot

This is the video I will be showing tomorrow and for the other streams before we get started. It was made by Steve and Ann Nguyen. I was unsure of the DMCA status of the original song that was used in their video, so I used "Whirling-in-Rags, 12am" from Disco Elysium to avoid any copyright strikes.

I will be starting tomorrow for this month of events with DMC1 at https://www.twitch.tv/sarahmurphy To raise awareness and money for a cure for PIGA-CDG, I will be playing Devil May Cry 1-4 over the course of the next month, and on October 15th I will be playing DMC5 from beginning to end on Dante Must Die mode.

if you want an idea of how much I love my baby cousin, for my charity stream on October 15th I have been practicing every Devil May Cry game by playing it multiple times.

INCLUDING Devil May Cry 2
