Choose My Fate Retirement

HACK THE GIBSON — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 04:56:55 +0000

All,

It's been a fun 2 and a half year run, but all good things must come to an end.

I announced this on the stream, but felt a formal announcement in the group is necessary as well for those who couldn't make it.

I've decided that after July 31st, I will retire from doing the Sunday Choose My Fate streams.

There are numerous factors playing into my decision to do this, but the abridged explanation is that my dulled motivation and increased real life commitments make the stream more and more problematic for me. I need my Sundays back.

The thing that I've always valued about this stream is how our weekly gatherings managed to spawn a small community, where you all became friends and used the stream as a kind of central hangout. I think one good way to try and keep that spirit alive is by utilizing our Discord server as a more informal gathering place, where people just stop in when they feel like catching up. I will make an effort to appear there more myself.

Ultimately, I'm not saying that I "will never stream again," but I also don't know how I feel about streaming in the future. I'd like to leave it open-ended.

I know this will make some of you unhappy, but I hope you will respect my decision and my reasons for it.

I have patriotic and independence-y things to be doing this weekend, so I have to cancel Sunday's stream.

Overwatch on the 26th?

HACK THE GIBSON — Wed, 15 Jun 2016 13:38:28 +0000

Some of you have been asking to see more Overwatch action, and I've been considering streaming it later this month. I made a poll so you can decide.

Should I stream Overwatch on the 26th?

VOICE&TEXT CHAT WITH OTHER HTG/KK MEMBERS USING DISCORD!

KATIEKAIJU — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 06:19:04 +0000

So I set up a chat server with discord. It's a voice/text/pic sharing community center.

It can be used in browser, on your phone, or stand alone.
This is just a test to see if people would like to use it and how it works since it's so new.

Just go to the link and *bam* you're in:

CANCELED: May 29th Choose My Fate

HACK THE GIBSON — Wed, 25 May 2016 11:51:31 +0000

I'm sorry to do this two weeks in a row, but I have Memorial Day plans and can't stream on Sunday.

To make it up, I'll see about streaming midweek next week - possibly on June 1st.

Have a good Memorial Day!

Hey Guys,

I'm going on a small trip next weekend and will not be around at all. I have no idea when I'm getting back on Sunday, so I will not be doing the stream.

Hey,

I have some sort of virus and am feeling pretty terrible, so I'm going to cancel this week's Choose My Fate. Sorry!

I'm not currently planning to make it up during the week, so we'll reconvene on the 28th.
