please credit ; like & reblog to use, thanks <3 for recolors, ask me !

I will be streaming tomorrow, Sunday, 31 May 2026, at 20:00 CEST / 19:00 UK / 2 PM EDT / 11 AM PDT!

This will be another challenge stream, but the challenge will be my greatest yet: with the help of mods such as Wilderlands Rustbound (and also some help from mods like Salty's Dodge Master), we'll be facing horrifying monsters in a world of darkness, fighting for our lives with limited resources, seeing how much progress we can make together.

This stream will be something of a practice run for an upcoming video! I hope being forced to fight for my life against a lot of scary monsters will help reduce my anxiety in the future. 🙏

This event will be open to the public, so please come join us if you can, and spread the word to your Vintage Story playing friends!

On a more personal note, I have just found out that I am likely to be losing my job in the very near future, as my company's leadership pushes "AI" chatbots to take over highly skilled human work. What's more, my entire industry has been decimated by this awful technology—which can't even do my (extremely specialized) job well, it just does it for cheap—so despite days of scouring job listings, I have found a grand total of Literally Zero listings for jobs in my field which don't amount to either short-term low-paying contracts training more AI, or being paid peanuts to "fix" AI-generated work (a task which is actually more difficult than doing it right in the first place, but pays far, far less).

So! My ability to continue living indoors may be in jeopardy soon. I have always said that I don't want to take money from anyone who can't spare it, and I stand by that, but if there's anyone out there who has five bucks or so to spare each month and would enjoy playing on private modded Vintage Story servers with a group of really nice people, now might be a good time to hop on over to patreon dot com slash secretfoxfire and maybe join my community! 🍄

Regardless of whether you sign up, I hope you'll all stop by for tomorrow's stream, and maybe help me fight against the forces of darkness for an hour or two.
