Chloroform Days - Cammy's journal from the end of the Multiverse

Is this loss?
December 28, 2023

The end of the year is always ripe for epiphanies, ain't it? I can't believe that one post about coming to terms with being autistic was now four years ago. Something keeps coming back to me about the past ten years, and I don't think I've ever properly vocalized it or even come to terms with it in myself. I'll have a lighter lookback on my art progress going up on the group blog soon; this is just one that's been brewing in my head for the past month or so as well. At the start of the year, I Read more

Christmas Vib-Ribbon stream tonight!
December 24, 2023

Apologies for still being sporadic on the journal front! Not really been up to a ton a ton? I did finally finish the gigantic group drawing for five years of Somnolescent back on the 20th—which I should probably post more places because it's the first group pic I have ever done and completed and it came out really cute. There's a message from me on there too with some ideas for where we're going in 2024. Big thing is that I'll be streaming Vib-Ribbon again tonight at 7PM! Folks have been Read more

The mid-December Cammy update
December 17, 2023

I feel cloistered—more than usual. I haven't really been updating this journal, truthfully because I don't have a lot to update about! I've gotten back into art, and I feel much faster at it, more confident, and more ambitious than ever. It's perhaps a little early to look back and start sharing 2024 plans, though I do have them, and those will be going up on Letters. Beyond that, work, work, work. I went from a socially anxious mess when I started this job to proving myself in a big way to Read more

Last Summer is out now!
December 08, 2023

Last Summer is officially out now on my Bandcamp! We're having a listening party for it tonight at 8PM EST, so if you're available in the next few hours of this post going live, come hang out with me and the Somnolians! I'll be sharing some fun tidbits about how I made the album and all that good stuff. (It's also streaming now on YouTube, if you prefer to listen to your music as videos. No word on if I'll publish this one through RouteNote like I do my normal aphrodisiac stuff, though that Read more

Last Summer drops on Friday!
December 05, 2023

Hey gamers. I'm a little hung over (Somnolians, let me know if you want a sauced 35 minute rambling Letters From Cammy dropped on your heads), but I've finally got a day off, I've announced it to the group already after it having been a secret for a few weeks off from two months now, I think it's time to announce this one publicly. Coming December 8th, the first new music from me in four, almost five, years will be coming out: Last Summer, a defictionalized EP from the MP3.com success story Read more

Happy Bandcamp Friday
December 01, 2023

Happy December, happy Bandcamp Friday! I cleared out my wishlist: Given how the site has been shuddering a little internally lately, I felt it might be a good time to buy a bunch of albums I've been meaning to (I always pay extra because I'm a sap like that) and download them for safekeeping. Was jamming to Vansire this morning. Got something musical myself on the way in a bit. Stay tuned. Read more

Potential new Cammy streams on the horizon
December 01, 2023

So it's been nearly a year since I last streamed, at least according to YouTube. I used to stream all the time, but I just got so exhausted and I wasn't having much fun with them, so I quit, and I haven't had much reason to pick them back up because I'm either busy or we're having a group call, and that takes care of my "interacting in voice with the group" quota, really. Jake linked a cheap chinese HDMI capture device he apparently successfully used to stream Xbox Minecraft a few months back, Read more

Light pollution
November 27, 2023

One of the most striking memories I have of college is wandering out to north campus late at night, almost off campus altogether, and noting the sky. Across the street, you could see the stars. No light hit the grass or the parking lot of whatever industrial facility was over there. You turn back to campus, and the sky was instead an ugly haze of navy blue and orange from lights that only turned off when the sun was there to light things up instead. I think about light pollution a lot. I don't Read more

The eMachines Box has risen
November 25, 2023

The new hard drive arrived yesterday; she's back up and running. I'm writing this on the eMachines Box once more. Got her on XP Media Center Edition SP3, like she should've been running all this time, and now it's just repeatedly installing updates from Legacy Update over and over (the POSReady stuff is key for getting TLS 1.2 and thus Escargot fully functional), getting my programs and games back on here, and slowly getting everything situated again. Media Center Edition got a custom version Read more

Some eMachines updates
November 18, 2023

So I would've had the eMachines Box back up and going by now, but unfortunately, my stupid ass bought a SATA drive! It had an IDE one in there. I returned that this morning at work and rush-ordered an equivalently-sized IDE drive from eBay yesterday. It should be here by the 21st. Hopefully that's the end of it. That said, there are some new things to note in the saga: First and foremost, the old drive does still kinda work! Work has some IDE-to-USB cables on the tech bench, and plugging it Read more
