Kyler Bird realizes one day that he has the uncontrolled ability to imagine things into reality - even if lately his imagination has been sorely underused from extreme work-related burnout. Luckily, Kyler's childhood imaginary friend Booker has also been conjured into the material realm, and he is determined to help Kyler reconnect with his inner child! No matter how much Kyler complains that, it's 2am, it's not time for this, please let me sleep, there's a big deadline tomorrow.

The first part of the story is an animated episode (there's even an opening sequence!). The second part of the story so far is a webcomic. Gemma also makes animated shorts and one-off side comics and illustrations, further exploring and having fun with these characters. Here's one of my favorite side comics:

I really, really sympathize with Kyler and the position he finds himself in. He clearly wanted more from his life than to be a cog in the machine, ground up and spat out, yet he is so crushed by his current job that he doesn't have the energy to even consider anything else. He's so exhausted, any time he sits down for long enough, he falls asleep. Everyone around him is concerned about how drained he is, and they tell him with love that he needs to take better care of himself - yet how is he supposed to do that when his boss is someone who doesn't believe in sick days, let alone vacation days, and that report needs to be on his desk by 3pm sharp! Kyler can wish all he wants to improve things, but for now he's completely stuck in this job (which sounds like he owes to his father, layering on some more complicated guilt!). Even if he were to try to take some time after work for himself to be creative, he's so out of practice that, when prompted to find shapes in the clouds, the best he can muster is... uh... that one looks like... uh... candy floss? It's so disheartening, I don't blame Kyler for despairing with, "What's the point?"

It seems like it will be up to purple little Booker to help Kyler remember how to be as creative as child he used to be!

The good news, my uncle clear coated the shelf today because actual sunny weather for a change.

I know that Splatoon is a really good game. Hell, I really want to play it, but don’t really have the time to play on the Wii-U/Switch to play the first or second games. Still, it’s one that I would really love to play with friends. But I digress.

Roahm here cannot play Splatoon in its multiplayer mode due to the internet connection that he has had ever since the start of his YouTube channel. See, some sections of the US aren’t as lucky to have high-speed internet services from providers like Verizon, Xfinity, AT&T and so forth. Unfortunately, Roahm lives in one of those areas without such services, so he’d have to rely on some rather shoddy satellite internet services that can drop connection faster than a boulder onto Wile E. Coyote, due to overcast weather which normally doesn’t quite bother us.

Not only that, but the internet speeds are HORRENDOUS. We’re talking dial-up levels of slow. Watching a few videos where he’s playing Worms Armageddon with Pink and pals, the lag is so noticeable that it’s a miracle the game didn’t kick him out! Heck, he tried net-play with his run of Secret of Mana (good vid series, by the way.) with Shagg and Pink, and they could NOT get through the level all too well, registering characters appearing and disappearing, and the party dying rather easily due to the lag spikes!
