There hasn't been a lot of content from me the past couple of months (or any). I'm stepping away from content creation for now to focus on a new IRL job. My first day was yesterday! ZERO regrets. β™₯️ Thanks for some great experiences & until next time, so long and take care!

I've been getting this question in recent streams so I'm going to write it again here so I can link back to it. I will not be returning to Sea Of Thieves. No judgements on anyone who plays now or to any SoT Partners. My time there has passed & I'm interested in other games now.
After 462 days of being away from streaming, I'll take this Top 25% notification. 🀣 We've been playing Star Wars The Old Republic and having a blast with a Smuggler in what I'm calling #HotSWTORSummer You should come too! Every weekday at 4:30PM PST across Twitch, YT & Kick!

So far I've chosen Affinity Studio as a replacement for Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom & Davinci Resolve subbing in for Premiere Pro. Apparently Resolve also has an Audition sub called Fairlight built right in as well. Sharing for those other creators who may want to save some $$$.
Finally bit the bullet and broke free of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite today. $800 for what I would be using it for is just too much. Buuut that was kind of impulsive because that's all I've used for a decade plus now. What's out there as good replacements, paid or otherwise?

Sci-fi fan here. Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Quantum Leap, hell I still want a new Sliders. I was SO EXCITED that a new Stargate series was coming. A terrible decision by Amazon. They should sell the rights because they've lost the fandom & won't get it back.
Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series. There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this... Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025. As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past. My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

My decade‑old Logitech G600 just kicked the bucket. You were a good mouse. Now I find out they don't make em anymore? 😭 Whose got the crown these days? I know Razer still has a Naga out there. Anyone know of any other contenders?

What do you think? Cooked or compliment? 🀣
In case you're not getting YT notifications, I've moved & picked up a new job that'll allow for content creation again soon! Also, I had a bout of diverticulitis that impacted my diet for the better. Down almost 40 lbs (18.1 kg) from my heaviest and I feel so much lighter. πŸ‘

I do want to add that even though I will be taking up the bard's mantle once again I will not be returning to Sea Of Thieves. I'm excited by the prospect of trying out a different game for the first time in over three years though!

I've not played Sea Of Thieves in over a year but the community is still special to me. I fully support the victims. The Boatswain program should be dismantled. The Sea Of Thieves Partner Program should be dismantled. And there should be a full legal review that is made public.

To be clear I am no longer a Sea Of Thieves Partner. My status was revoked on 4/13 for not producing any recent content. I would step down at this time otherwise. I was also a Boatswain and voted no on Bruno. I removed myself from the Boatswains after seeing a lack of action

Being taken by staff once the most recent allegations came to light and how people were dismissing another ex-Boatswain Ablepirate when he was sharing his voice here on this platform. This was prior to *the* document being released so I do not know what that reaction was.

Hello to those who find this message! Been a little over a year since I stopped playing Sea Of Thieves & started touching grass. All is well! I hope that those of you who still play do enjoy it. But remember: NEVER play for FOMO alone. It's not worth it. Fair seas to you! 🍌

Disappointed to hear about the layoffs at Amazon Games & New World's maintenance mode. I played New World at launch & found it to be a really fun engaging game for a while. When I started creating content it was a hard choice between Sea Of Thieves, Fallout 76 & New World. o7

I know I'm a retired ol' sea dog in Sea Of Thieves terms but I wanted to share the news. Skele informed me of this today and I'm VERY happy for him. He's worked hard on his craft & stuck to a concept that many (and admittedly even I at first) thought might not work. Cheers! πŸ₯‚
πŸ’€AnnouncementπŸ’€ This marnin' I be gettin' a skele-mail invitin' me to join the @SeaOfThieves Partner Program! Thank ye to all for believin' in me and this silly idea I had last year. It be quite a journey. I had this idea and thought it'd be funny and made content to make me laugh and hoped others would laugh too. A few people did then more and more of ye joined the community. In only two weeks shy of a year we made the Bilge Rats SoT Stream Team and now SoT Partner. Thank ye, Thank ye, Thank ye all for this and I be excited to give back to the community more! Here's to another year on the Sea! Love ye bones. 🍻🍻🍻

I love this energy. Met this individual once in Sea Of Thieves Hourglass and he radiated the same enthusiasm for Muppet Treasure Island in game. Lives the gimmick, as they say. Go on lad, hope it happens πŸ‘
I asked the Important Question again, Muppet Treasure Island Crossover? #SoTFest2025 πŸΈπŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

Heart goes out to anyone on the Sea Of Thieves / Rare teams affected by the recent layoffs. Been there: I was laid off by Microsoft after nearly 10 years of service. It's something that you never *really* think is going to happen to you, until it does. πŸ«‚ Take time to process!

Hey there everyone! Been getting messages from worried folks so just want to put something out there. I'm OK! Just burned out on Sea Of Thieves & content creating atm. Haven't played in weeks & I feel fine. It's okay to take breaks. Might do some of you some good. 🀣

Need some more thinking time! Being sick for a chunk of last week didn't help (and I may have passed it on to @BonneyLu ... my bad babe.)
Just a reminder that I'm taking a vacation this week to recharge and re-evaluate the Sea Of Thieves content biz. Thank you for all the birthday wishes over the weekend! πŸŽ‰
