The cold never bothered me anyway!

I get that it's basically the whole visual shtick behind Irida's wardrobe design, but it's completely shocking that they decided the Pearl Clan should live out HERE if that's what they wanted.

I guess it's even more baffling that the entire clans of Diamond and Pearl are apparently found within a single encampment, as we've met so many of each, and a handful of NPCs delivering all the hot gossip... but where would literally anyone else have space to live?

At least I guess this means their leaders only put on verbal airs rather than living extravagantly at the expense of their people's grand hovels.

I find it more than slightly amusing therefore that there's an NPC that points out that you're more likely to get a sunburn in this sort of environment than at the beach due to the ice and snow's inherent reflectivity... but the climate tends to make this factor a non-issue. Hmmmm!

I keep SAYING that I think the streams are about through... but I keep on inventing excuses to avoid actually doing what I need to.

In "fairness," it's not like the game doesn't offer more than enough excuses to find something else to do at every possible opportunity.

It might also be that I'm trying to avoid getting into something super involved when I'm not sure I actually have the time.

THEN I proceed to play tag with all the fun distractions everywhere else BUT where I'm supposed to. Anything at all.

Can't be helped, really. If only there was another way!

Also, as a minor aside... my capacity to curtail YouTube being... um, YouTube... is quite limited on mobile. Which is how I'm chiseling out this collection of metadata and meta-commentary that you're for whatever reason deciding to read.

Point is, if I don't follow up later and make sure I didn't make any grave errors in setting it up, please make sure you do your civic duty of yelling directly at me for not shielding you personally from the ad-mageddon that Google is waging upon the content people unwisely curate and feed into the belly of the beast they've acquired and lord over us on an everyday basis.

I'm going to actually try to turn over a new leaf and stick with these archive uploads that I'm always proclaiming I want to get in the habit of doing...

Mostly, because I have to be honest and admit that there's no healthy timeframe or turnaround in which this gets properly turned into traditional uploads that I will be trustworthy enough to keep uploading regularly enough.

On the other side of the equation, I need to definitely get comfortable with the idea that NOT diversifying the availability beyond the Twitch VODs... only benefits Twitch. And I'm not all about that. And I'd definitely prefer NOT to watch long-form uploads on Twitch anyway, so I'm just looking out for my own preferred viewer experience. Totally!

I'm still supremely icky about HOURS of video up there without moderation and thoughtful curation... but if that isn't forthcoming, it's a disservice to everyone involved on either side of the screen if I just allow nothing to happen. By doing nothing.

Besides, let's be real. I'm going to be too busy playing this game to actually edit, upload, and describe videos ABOUT this game.

Lazy!
