Let’s Play In Stars and Time Together Part 2!

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my second In Stars and Time VOD to my Youtube channel! We continue our journey into the House to find more clues about the time Loops and the King. A lot of fun conversations ensue as we interact with everything and try to level up a bit.

This time-whimey RPG has really captured my attention and heart. I fell in love with Siffrin, Isabeau, Mirabelle, Odile, and Bonnie quickly. I love time loop games and RPGs plus the story is fascinating and full of feelings. There are some heavy themes and flashing lights in this game so consider that if you pick up the game for yourself. The game is available on Steam and the Nintendo eShop so you can check it out for yourself!

Game Synopsis

Live with the ever-present burden of being trapped in a time loop only you can know about in this turn-based RPG. Create a better future for you and your friends. Find hope where there is none left. Pray to the stars and free yourself from time.

Let’s Play Dexterous: Time to Steal Together Part 2!

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my second Dexterous: Time to Steal VOD to my Youtube channel! We continued our journey in this puzzle-powered adventure as a recently released convict who finds themselves in a time loop and ladened with a large amount of debt! The battles continue through various crime bosses and their minions to pay back the big boss and hopefully find our father! Various relics and house upgrades help us to gain power as the monsters gain powers through each hour! In this video we started back in Hour 1 on the clock! The monsters are tougher but so are we!

This puzzle focused game is a good mix in between Bejeweled and Slay the Spire with a fun cast of pixel art characters and environments! The game is available on Steam now so you can check it out for yourself!

Let’s Play In Stars and Time Together Part 1!

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my first In Stars and Time VOD to my Youtube channel! We find ourselves in a loveable party who has been questing far and wide to gain access to the House of Change in order to fight the evil King! He has frozen everyone in the House in time and his power is slowly reached further out. It is the day before the big battle so we get to meet the lovely people of Dormont and learn a bit about our merry band of characters. Then we venture into the house to find many sadness creatures and traps as well as a time loop! A mysterious figure offers us advice, but are they helping or leading us into more danger? We must figure out what is causing these loops and how to defeat the King! Can we stop the time loops and save our friends?

New Art Youtube Channel! Drawing Ibuki!

Drawing Ibuki Timelapse

Hello, Cozy Gang!

You may notice that the channel listed for this video is different than my usual Youtube channel. I have come to the decision to separate my art and gaming videos into two different Youtube channels! Over the years I have debated on whether to do this or not and then decided to go ahead and split them. This will help those who want to just watch my art videos not have to worry about my gaming videos and vice versa. If you love both of them, then please subscribe to both!

The first video for this channel features an edited timelapse of my Ibuki Mioda illustration that I drew during several Twitch streams in October 2022. This illustration is one of my favorites that I have drawn while streaming and I am glad that I had the videos to reshare in this way. Further videos will include more time-lapse edited VODs and art and comic reveal videos.

10×10 prints, 5×7 prints, and stickers are available in my store!

In the future, I will be looking to posting one video per month on the art channel while trying to continue one a week on the gaming channel. I hope you enjoy my videos whether it is just one channel or both!

Upcoming Fall Events and Appearances

| Stine

Get Ready for Fall!

Actually, this will be late summer and early fall appearances, but I have three events coming soon starting in mid-August. Here are all my upcoming events and appearances!

Come visit me on August 16 at the Barnes & Noble at Westwood Plaza in Charleston, SC for Noblecon 25! I attended this event back in 2022 when they had it and I had a lot of fun so I look forward to doing it again and enjoying the company of the staff and all the great people of Charleston.

On October 5, I will be in Greenville at the Greenville Convention Center for SC Comicon Fall (formerly known as SC Comicon Jr!), which has become a yearly must-do for me. I love visiting Greenville and I especially love my time at any of the SC Comicon shows. The folks at Borderlands Comics really knows how to put a good one on, so come on out!

In November, I will be returning to Gainesville FL for InfinityCon 2025! I went to InfinityCon last year as my first convention in the state of Florida, and I really had a wonderful time. I will be there with Cozy Gang friends Viet Huynh and Daniel Hooker, so make sure if you can to come on out to see all of us!
