Sorry For The Mess

Dicranurus hamatus

An odontopleurid trilobite from the Devonian period. They grew to be about an inch long with the elongated spikes doubling that length. These trilobites possessed curved horn-like spikes atop the cephalon that can be used to distinguish them from other odontopleurids.

The only reason this drawing exists is that in my never ending quest to get all gold crowns i spent 7 hours trying to get small crown nerscylla and nearly soon as I successfully hunted one a tiny gold crown TEMPERED arkveld spawned in

This was drawn in the time it takes me to wait for gore magala to spawn in

While this isn't news to anyone who works in this space, it is useful to have this water-is-wet research to affirm that Indigenous knowledge and land management are extremely effective at storing carbon and protecting biodiversity.

I want to draw special attention to this part of the article:

I get a fair number of asks and comments on my posts expressing sentiments like "human beings are a plague on this Earth", "humans ruin everything, we deserve to be wiped out", "humanity is inherently selfish, evil, and irredeemable".

I don't think the folks saying these things have bad intentions, I know their words come from a place of very understandable pain, fear, and anger. But to act as though humanity's impact on nature is inherently damaging and extractive is to erase thousands of years of Indigenous stewardship of nature. These ecosystems are thriving because there are humans living there.

You see this offer right here? At first, I dismissed it as impossible because Voltorb evolves into Electrode at a much later level than 10.

But then, in all my nerdery, I remembered that in-game trades with NPCs from before gen 5 give you Pokemon at the same level as the one you chose to trade, which can lead to underleveled evolved Pokemon. And it JUST SO HAPPENS that Electrode is one of those Pokemon in gen 1. In order to get it you need to trade a Raichu, which can be under level 10 because Pikachu evolves with a stone and is catchable at level 3. And then I discovered the Brock Through Walls glitch, which allows you to go literally anywhere in the game before you even have any badges.

So I did what any rational person would do on a Wednesday evening and spent $9.99 on the 3ds Virtual Console version of Pokemon Blue, glitched myself to Celadon City to buy a Thunderstone, let all my Pokemon faint so that I could warp back to Pewter City since its the last Pokecenter I healed at, caught a Pikachu in the nearby Viridian Forest, evolved it, glitched myself into Cinnabar Island, and claimed my completely legit yet also illegal lvl 7 Electrode named Doris.

Now I was half sure that Pokebank would realise how messed up this Pokemon was and not allow it into gen 7...

...but it went through perfectly.

So, thanks for the Poipole, Mars of war2. 😜

The secret that's been kept for the past 8 months!

The first 5 episodes of Monkey Wrench are officially coming to NETFLIX on AUGUST 19th!

Fully remastered and re-engineered audio!

New multiple language dubs!

New intro sequence!

I'm sure you're all bound to have lots of questions, so below here's a brief FAQ about this new venture;

FAQ;

Q: When did this happen???

A: Netflix approached us back during the early days of episode 4's production after watching the eps progress. They wanted to congratulate us on reaching ep 3 and commenting on how rapidly we've improved and what motivated us to keep going. They kept an eye on our progress since and once they saw ep 5, they reached out in December 2025 to offer us a licensing deal for the first 5 eps. That deal was cemented in March 2026.

Q: So is this why ep 6 has taken so long?

A: Yes and No. We did have to divert Matt, Ockeroid, Rigsby and myself over to Eps 1-5 to get them up to NETFLIX's broadcast standards which took around 8-12 weeks of non-stop work. However if we didn't take the deal we'd still be in a worse place in terms of ep 6 funding and progress. Most of the licensing money went into getting ep 6 finished this year. Without it, we would be going well into 2027.

Q: Is the new intro sequence gonna be in the eps from now on???

A: Only for the Netflix versions, as they have exclusive rights to it. The regular Youtube / Patreon release will have our usual wrench glass smashy intro still.

Q: Will the Alternate language tracks come over to the Youtube Versions???

A: No, those are exclusive to Netflix.

Q: So this is just a licensing deal?

A: For now, yes! The first 5 eps will be on the NETFLIX service August 19th.

Q: What does that mean for the future? Is there a chance you'll get picked up???

A: The future is still uncertain, but it looks a lot brighter than it did before. NETFLIX allowed us to have promotions to our patreon in the end credits of each episode, something they don't usually do, so people who watch the eps on NETFLIX will have the chance to come over here and support us directly.

As for getting picked up, there is a chance, but it's all at the behest of NETFLIX if the first 5 eps do well on the service.

Q: What would going exclusive mean???

A: Basically, IF we go exclusive, NETFLIX would get exclusive rights to eps 7-10 for season one and beyond. We'd have to suspend the patreon (everything would still be available, there's just be no more updates) and fourthwall store (NETFLIX would get exclusive merch rights) and stop youtube uploads.

If they decide to cancel our exclusivity, then we're back to doing what we are currently doing; using patreon and fourthwall to fund ep production.

Q: What if they want Ep 6 as well to go exclusive???

A: In that scenario we've worked out a plain that those who have supported us financially for it's production will still get to see it on here and for Youtube Members.

Q: Would Eps 1-5 still be free to watch on Youtube?

A: Yes, the original 5 will still available to view on Youtube for freeeee, even if we go exclusive.

Q: So no more fourthwall store if you go exclusive???

A: Yup! NETFLIX gets full merch rights, though we'd get a 35% cut of all sales, so pretty much what it's like now but with someone else managing it which would be a massive load of my already extensive plate of things to do, and with NETFLIX's resources there's be so many more options for neat stuff to be made... vinyl figures for instance~?

Q: I thought you said you didn't want to go with a network / Streaming service? A: I did, but unfortunately times and minds change. We're 6 years into this production and only have (almost) 6 eps done. Our funding isn't growing, merch isn't selling that well and I'm really starting to feel my age. Potentially getting picked up exclusively by NETFLIX will get us Budgets we could only dream of doing it indie, and if it gets this series made before I turn 45, then so be it!

Q: So, when Ep 6???
