Quick PSA! Yes, I’m still alive and finally settled in my new pad! Got a new PC for home which means I can now move my studio rig to my new office. Once I’m set up there I’ll get back to creating content for YouTube and hopefully dip my toes into streaming! Cya soon!

So my baby boy turned 21 a few days ago and guess what he got for this birthday? A fake check scam and he lost all of his savings and may owe the bank even more. Scammers are despicable humans. The things they said to him to scare him into making costly mistakes is disgusting.

Because WE, as a society, put them on a pedestal and worship them precisely for their idiocy. Best way to get rid of fools like Logan Paul is to stop giving them our attention. Good luck with that!
