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

The rebirth of the Somnol Gopher and the rise of SomnolCCSO
January 31, 2024

Whoops, I fell asleep before I could write that post last night. Here's the fun stuff! So, I've said this many times now: whenever something creative I made becomes massive out of date, be it sites or stories, I have a hard time looking at it. The Somnolescent Gopher server absolutely, 100%, fit this criteria. The last time it was seriously updated was 2021, back when borb and mon were both still in the group. That's legitimately ancient. There were talks of making a GitHub repo and us Read more

Another Wales trip!
January 29, 2024

If you're not keeping up on my streams (shame on you! Sundays at 7PM EST, they're lots of fun), you might be wondering what's been going on with me as of late. There's kind of a lot, as to be expected when Cammy doesn't write any journal entries for two weeks, but really, I needed that time off to go indulge and explore some things. As such, I'll be doing daily entries until we're all caught up. Let's get the real life stuff out of the way first, and we'll talk about the fun stuff tomorrow. So Read more

2021 was an odd time
January 14, 2024

Stream tonight has been rescheduled for next week. My cold had gotten significantly worse—it's a bunch better today, but I still sound pretty stuffed up and I didn't want to be hacking up a lung constantly and chancing screwing up my voice by having to talk for two-plus hours straight. Consider it another week for folks to know I'll be going live soon. I'm still chopping away at some private projects, but I decided to poke at a smaller one this evening: upgraded my Nirvana boxset! Back in Read more

Every. Last. Game.
January 11, 2024

Well, with four different people at work sick recently and my sister also having fallen ill, I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise I caught something too. Not too bad, thankfully—I have to keep clearing my throat, but as long as I do that, that doesn't hurt too much, and I feel fine otherwise. I was rather proud of myself for not having gotten sick the entirety of 2023, despite working two different retail establishments, being in four different airports several times and in close Read more

Hello chat!
January 08, 2024

Little minor update—I've gone through all my old streams and given them new thumbnails. Check it out: I've also gone through and standardized the descriptions, so they have proper lists of games, intro songs if present, and a link back to mari.somnol (gotta always be linking places, right?). It's a weird feeling, going back through these old streams and seeing all the names of people who popped in and I don't talk to anymore. Definitely some good times had on those streams, though; I'd like Read more

The neglected journal update rollup, part two
January 04, 2024

I've been playing too much Unreal Tournament Caby finally shipped over the games I bought in Wales! It was a lot of fun sitting and installing them to the eMachines Box from disc, punching in the CD keys, the whole ritual. It's not convenient, but neither is the eMachines Box. It's fun! I'm very happy that the eMachines Box actually offers a much better gaming experience than I initially pegged it for—just so long as those games are five years older than the box itself. As Caby said once Read more

The neglected journal update rollup, part one
January 04, 2024

Happy new year, journal folks! Have been getting over the emotional holiday hangover, but I'm pretty close to full speed now. I've had a bunch of things to update the journal about, so to avoid spamming it with a bunch of smaller updates, I'm gonna split it into two bigger updates, one with projects and one with my leisurely pursuits: mari.somnol is officially parked I've had plans for mari.somnol for well over a year now (this journal just happens to be from eight months ago instead), so I Read more
