MALF

You ever notice how baby food and Michelin star food is all just puree? Really makes you wonder.

I'm just so sick of the unrelenting wave of AI. If the thing you're attempting to make is so good and vital for others to experience, then the time spent learning the skills to bring it to life is worth it. The reality is that most of these things people use AI for is uninspired copycat garbage.

A family member was put on life support very suddenly yesterday. I’m quite distraught and need to postpone today’s stream until tomorrow. Apologies.

We're loading up the #GrimKeep demo right now to see if I can master this roguelite dice-builder set in a nightmare fairytale. Bet I beat you to the end! Come watch here: twitch.tv/michaelalfox

What's your favourite sci-fi movie of all time?

Thanksgiving weekend was cut short as Queenie has somehow managed to sprain (we think) her hind leg. Tomorrow is the actual holiday so we can't get her to the vet until Tuesday. Was originally going to stream tomorrow but now I don't think I will since we need to babysit her.

Just a reminder that today is Queenie’s yearly vet checkup. Not sure how long it’ll be and I’m still a bit fuzzy from the migraine yesterday (it’s mostly gone), so not sure if/when we stream today. That said, there is a special stream happening tomorrow to make up for it!

Watching the Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Nashville Predators game right now. Commentators were talking about a special Star Wars themed night the Preds are doing soon and wrapped up by saying "let's hope the force is with the Predators that night". They really need to change their name.

Hey folks, sorry to say the migraine has persevered into today so I need to take the day off from stream to fight it. Hope you have a good one and I’ll see you sometime tomorrow (have a vet appointment tomorrow morning).

Guy on Master Chef Canada got kicked off because they didn't like his chicken sandwich and his response was "you don't make it as Master Chef Canada by playing it safe!" Definitely a perspective...

Kids have it so easy these days. We used to have to put stickers on the Lego pieces ourselves!

Sometimes all you need is a cutie keeping your lap warm.

Seems like some streamers out there hide their true selves behind "no politics" rules for their chat. It also looks like the mask slips away when there's enough money on the table. In case you don't already know my stance: FREE PALESTINE!

Been sitting at the computer for 30 minutes trying to go live but my brain has decided to put me on the verge of an anxiety attack.

Maybe I’m just a grump, but I don’t need a damn watch to tell me my sleep score. I wake up and can tell you how I feel after a sleep.

Taking today away from stream but will be back tomorrow.

I still have no idea why Twitch allows people to stream while driving. I just now saw a front-page promotion where someone is driving at night and holding their phone while also looking down at the camera in the passenger seat. Really makes my blood boil that this level of distracted driving exists.

@wpgmurat.bsky.social Question for you! When does a contract clause kick in for players? I heard a rumour that UPL wouldn't waive his M-NTC to go to Winnipeg, but that M-NTC starts in the 26-27 season. For contract purposes, when does the 26-27 season start?

Connor Hellebuyck signing a long-term extension with the Jets and then publicly asking for a trade with five years left is equal parts hilarious and pathetic. He has almost zero leverage and Chevy is not a reactionary GM. Good riddance to him once the trade happens.

I feel like traaaaaaaaaash this morning. Been enjoying the cooler air at night but the rain is doing a number on my head. Gonna rest up and take some migraine meds.

Every so often I get caught up arguing with some on Reddit about hockey. Today, it's someone vehemently opposed to admitting that Mark Scheifele is an elite hockey player. This is the kind of Maple Leafs fan that gives them their bad reputation.

Nasty migraine returned last night and persists this morning, so hopefully medicine helps, but no stream in the meantime. 😞

Turns out today is one of those holidays that I don’t know exists until family tells me about it. Gonna take “Civic Holiday” off stream and chill with Kimmy and the cats.

My toxic trait is buying shampoo and conditioner at the same time and expecting to use them up at the same time.

Returning to stream TOMORROW. Yesterday I was on the verge of a breakdown a couple of times and was anything but relaxing.

Come hang out with us! twitch.tv/michaelalfox

Been working on my long-term Minecraft world a bunch recently and it’s coming along. Come take a peek if you haven’t seen it in a while! twitch.tv/michaelalfox

Gonna take the day off streaming, methinks. Parents are driving up this afternoon and Nixon made sure I got negative sleep so I’m basically in survival mode right now.

Viggo Björck being available at 8th was a 'fingers crossed' sort of wish. Great to see they landed him and excited to see his development!

Gonna be taking today away from stream. Funeral service for my Grandma was this weekend and it brought family together in a good way, but I’m still a mess mentally and emotionally.

Tim Robinson needs to get Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) for I Think You Should Leave because I’m pretty sure it would result in the greatest skits ever. This needs to happen. I know I’m right. Please!

I regret to inform you fine folks that actually care but I cannot stream today. I received negative sleep last night after all the times I was up through it. Stomach pains, migraines, congestion, and then aftermath of my migraine meds. My body is a mess. 😞

Made some hot sauce to bring to a friend gathering last week and one of the guys that doesn't even like hot sauce went back for seconds. Now that's a good feeling!

I’m off on a vacation weekend, but Kimmy will be doing a Yahtzee stream on my channel at 3PM EST, so be sure to hang out with her!

The sleepy boy gets extra lap time today.

Home from the vet after Nixon suffered a mild seizure. He seems okay but a bit stressed from the car ride. Taking the rest of the day to keep an eye on him. Thanks to those in the stream today understanding my having to suddenly end it.

This little lady is keeping me in good company while my head is pounding. The dopamine helps.

Folks, the headache is a sharp and piercing one at the moment. Gonna take time from the stream today so just pretend that I'm enjoying the holiday yesterday even though I'll be in miserable pain. :)

Have a blessed weekend!

Sorry folks, but no streaming today. Been up a few times throughout the night and feeling super sluggish. We’ll get back to it tomorrow!

Wherever you're using mayo, I'm now using toum. Welcome to the new era.
