dmxratedMom brought home a newspaper from work two days ago. From the comics page, here is The Argyle Sweater:
"The Muensters" would have made for another nice entry there.
-----
Mom took off from work yesterday to take care of some stuff around the house, and also to ease some back pain. I was originally going to go upstairs to start finishing my main Earthbound hack off, but still had a chore in my room from the day prior to finish off, that would involve her help shifting my bed over. Also had some ideas for a future video's script swirling in my head, and took the morning to write that whole thing down.
-----
Frankly, it seems like too much of a coincidence that so many people would subscribe to my channel within 36 hours without actually watching anything. Google AI and several people on Reddit chalk this kind of thing up to an attempt to get me in trouble or prevent YouTube from promoting any future videos when they fail to take off with my subscribers to start with, in order to eliminate competition for themselves.
Had to hide my channel yesterday afternoon, and only reopened it this morning. The count read one less at first than yesterday, suggesting that the moderation team had begun to remove those bots one at a time, but then that one came back.
Probably gonna have to hide it for a while, and then announce my return with a short when I un-hide it (possibly until Brian, Emily, and Marie all come to visit for my birthday next month). Which short I would put out would depend on how many bots have been removed by that point, before I choose based on whether or not anything important would have much of a chance of being promoted beyond my real subscribers.
