37 DAYS DOWN. 10% COMPLETED. 🛡️



We just hit a massive milestone in the 365-day journey. We are officially 10% of the way through 2026.



This week has been a rollercoaster for the MMO community. Talking about the Ashes of Creation shutdown and the closure of Intrepid Studios on stream was heavy and is a reminder that while worlds like Verra might fade, the community we build here is what actually lasts.



Whether we're pushing PoE 2 endgame, grinding Dota 2 ranks, or taking a "Midweek Middle-earth" break in LOTRO (turning more into full week but you know), your support is the reason this streak is still alive.



The Stats so far:

⚔️ PoE 2: Hit level 97 on Bloodmage - then kept dying

🧙‍♂️ LOTRO: About to head to Bree on my new Hunter

📈 Streak: 37 Days / 365

☕ Caffeine Consumed: Unmeasurable.



Question for the Kinship:

What has been your favorite stream "arc" of the first 37 days?
1. The Ashes of Creation Coverage
2. LOTRO
3. Late-night Dota chaos?

Let me know below! 👇

Verra has fallen, but Middle-earth still stands. 🌳

By now, most of you have seen the news. After years of hype, Ashes of Creation is officially defunct. It’s a massive blow to the MMO community and honestly, I’m still processing that leaked 'Council of Embers' meeting. Seeing what could have been is heartbreaking. 💔

If you’re feeling "homeless" in the MMO world or just want a place to vent and relax, join me on my livestream tonight starting at 9:30 PST!

We’re heading back to Lord of the Rings Online. While other projects come and go, LOTRO is still here, still stable, and still legendary.

Tonight’s Plans:

🛠️ Testing the brand new UI Scaling in Update 46.1 (No more squinting!)

🏹 Playing some Hunter to see how the buffs are doing

🐔 Hobnanigans is LIVE! Might jump in on some of that action in chicken-league sports.

💬 The Ashes Post-Mortem: We’ll be chatting in real-time about the leaks and the studio shutdown.

Let’s turn a bad day for the genre into a great night in Middle Earth.

DAY 21/365: Trading the Atlas for Middle-earth! 🧙‍♂️

We’ve survived three weeks of the 2026 challenge! Today, we’re trying something special for our first "Midweek Middle-earth." I’m diving into Lord of the Rings Online for the first time in years.

With the Update 46.1 UI Scaling just around the corner (Jan 28th!) and the 2026 Roadmap officially announcing Rivendell Housing, there has never been a better time to start a new character.

Which path should the "Achilles" of Middle-earth take?

Help me pick my class/race before we go live!

365 Days. No excuses. 😤

I’ve been battling a pretty bad flu lately that cut my streams short, but I’m finally healthy enough to get back to the longer sessions. If you’re seeing this on your feed, it’s a sign to join the journey. We’re live daily. Who’s ready for some 3+ hour sessions?

Is the "Second Wind" the best way to play PoE 2 right now? 🌬️💨

The Second Wind Private League (hosted by Lolcohol, DEADRABB1T, and TalkativeTri) is getting MASSIVE! Now capping off at 60,000 players and a completely fresh economy, the vibes in PoE 2 Early Access have never been better.

Unlike the main trade league, we’re all starting from scratch together—no forced difficulty mods, just pure #PoE2 gameplay and some of the most hilarious custom bounties I've seen yet.

How is your league start going? Drop a comment below with:
1️⃣ Your current Build (Are you a Mercenary main or trying the new Sorceress tech?) 2️⃣ Your Level/Progress (Just hit maps or still getting bullied by the Act 1 bosses?) 3️⃣ Your Best Drop so far (Let’s see those early Uniques!)

If you’re looking for a group or need a price check, don't forget to join Global 2426 in-game!

Let’s show the community how active the Second Wind is. See you in the maps, Exiles! ⚔️

Why Path of Exile 2 is taking over 2026... 🗓️

We are 8 days into the 365-Day Challenge, and the PoE2 community is showing up! I’ve been getting a lot of questions and help with my progress in learning and mastering the game.

Whether you’re a hardcore exile or a new player coming over from Diablo 4 or Elden Ring, I’m making it my mission to master this game live on stream every single day this year.

Quick Check-in: What’s the biggest "wall" you've hit in the Fate of the Vaal league so far?

Is it the Boss mechanics?

Crafting your first god-tier item?

Or just finding enough time to Grind?

Drop your questions below and I'll answer them during tonight’s Daily Stream! ⚔️

WEEK 1 IN THE BOOKS. DAY 8 BEGINS NOW. 🛡️

7 days down. 358 to go.

The first week is always the hardest, but we’re just getting warmed up. The Legion is already showing up in a huge way.

To kick off Week 2, I’m diving deep into Path of Exile 2 today to sustain mapping. If we hit hit the Twitch Sub goal tonight, I’ll add a bonus hour of Battlefield 6 or Dota 2 to the end of the stream!

Question for you: What was your favorite moment from the first 7 days? Let me know below! 👇
