     @glitchontwitch Ooh!

     If you do join, don't mention that I'm lookitmychicken over here. I'm not supposed to cross the streams. 😅

     @lookitmychicken that’s a time that might work for me actually. I’ll see if I can make it. :blobcatdance:

     @lookitmychicken The stream starts /just/ as I'm getting off work for the day. I might tune in!

     @JillsJoy
     Yeah they draw most of the assets for their streams.

     I lost my mind with joy over the thumbnail they did of themselves performing standup for a recent stream

     @lookitmychicken It initially launched with the DLC active and took a worryingly long time to launch, the opening video stopped while the audio kept going, and then there was considerably delay between clicking a menu button and seeing that menu open. But! Once I was able to click the deactivate DLC confirmation popup, the relaunch into basic main game loaded up quick and the menu delay was gone. 🤞

     We did a stream!

     It's a bit over 3 hours long, and I was flagging by the end of it.

     But still I had a lot of fun & was surprised by how well Nomia picked it up.

     I'm glad I played a bit last night just to refresh my memory of how the very early part of the game works, and organise my thoughts on how best to explain it to someone who's never played it before.

     Also Nomia is very smart & game-literate too, so they pick up mechanics & controls quickly.

     Bonus: one of Nomia's Stray-Kids-loving buddies dropped in towards the end of the stream

     So we got to scream to each other about Changbin being a bias-wrecker while I entirely ignored Nomia's questions about how to play Oxygen Not Included yep yep.

     I hope we can continue streaming together on Wednesdays.

     Won't be the next couple of Wednesdays cos I'll be busy moving. But with any luck we might be able to set up a regular Wednesday stream together from mid-April.

     @lookitmychicken I definitely had Some Concern there, but so far it's been doing alright since I relaunched into without the DLC.
