🔴 LIVE! Tonight, we conquer the final level of each biome in "over the hill," a game I was given a review code for (... but kind of deeply fell in love with personally) Come learn mountain climbing alongside us. Regulars welcome. Let's get 100%. spacemantis.live

This was such a thorough dismantling of this person that they have been consistently making at least one account *per stream* of mine to refollow with another offensive term or slur. It has been over six months of this. I could not believe that's how long it's been until I looked up this clip.

I have a superpower that enables me to imbue strangers with self-awareness.

I don't know if it says something about me that after being consistently and constantly hate-followed for six months or longer, the only thing I feel is a disappointment that someone could do this bad of a job of it.

The recent news about just how obscenely many people have gotten *violently ill* from PAX has made me grateful for masking everywhere during it. I am one of those people who can be out of commission for 2 months from a "common cold." I would not survive another round of Covid.

I mention this because while we take "con crud" for granted, it is something that should have been essentially solved back when we realized, oh yeah, there is a turbo brainkilling mutant flu out there that spreads like wildfire. Inconvenience is no longer an excuse for not taking this seriously.

Did I just get lucky? Yeah probably a bit! But I do wanna use this moment to open the conversation to the idea that we could all make some little sacrifices collectively - masking, sanitizing, etc - or this can just keep happening over, and over, and over again until we expire. Your call.

🔴 LIVE! Sometimes a stream can be an experiment. Sometimes it can be one bedazzling article. Sometimes we forget to make plans and have to squash a bunch of stuff together to make up a timeslot. All of these are valid in streaming and, if I may be so brash, life itself. spacemantis.live

ACMI was as cool as I thought it'd be - a nice break from how hectic the weekend at PAX has been. Flying home later tonight. Thanks for having me, East Coast!

I beat the game RetroSpace without ever firing a single bullet on 1999 mode, the hardest difficulty that doesn't involve a permadeath mechanic. Here is what your inventory will look like if you simply collect ammunition instead of spending it. And no, no one asked.

🔴 LIVE! For better or worse, I've never had a game promote so much ranting about game design. We're going to continue pushing forward with RetroSpace to see if the game will ever, at any point, force me to fire a gun. (I've also got pivots ready if the wrench life isn't it.) spacemantis.live

Once more I will mention I AM GOING TO PAX! FIND THAT PLUSH! If you are someone I know and you'd like to say hi please approach me and be chill about my human form! If you are someone I don't know and you'd like to say hi that's also fine but we probably have less to talk about! See you there!

Twitch's new "Shout" feature - while it *could* be used normally - is a deranged parasocial relationship enabler designed to make people feel like their favourite creators are DMing them directly.

The amount I am getting from people I know and respect that have wording like "I love you SO much, don't leave me, come back, I need you" is fucking wild gang. I know we aren't all operating on the same standards here but holy shit, please remember you have a responsibility not to behave like this.

SPACEMANTIS
@spacemantis.bsky.social

I get it, I'm appreciative of my community and all they've done for me too, but... Gang you've gotta realize sending a faux-DM that's all about how intimately you love that one person (yes, that one!) isn't good optics and it's not healthy for anyone except maybe your wallet.

🔴 LIVE! Last stream for the Ghost Mantis sub badge and the Ghoulish Mantis watch-time badge. Begrudgingly mentioning this is the final stream to get your [Mark of Shame: Hamman Badge] from top supporter. This should be avoided at all costs. spacemantis.live

🔴 LIVE! BUGILLIONAIRE to send off our September Event Streams. 35% off gift subs + subtember discount and my absolutely most ambitious gameshow yet. This will be a great triumph or a horrible, horrible mistake. Tune in to find out which. spacemantis.live
