Mostly good news for now
🕑 Added 2020-03-18 22:26:36 +0000 UTCUpdate: I am working from home as my place of business finally closed. I had volunteered to be the last man standing in any contingency as I felt it was my duty to do so for a few reasons:
1. Sick ass Overtime
2. I'd be the only person there, meaning I'd not be encumbered by the fuckadoodles that make my job difficult and therefore I could get a SHITLOAD more done
3. Many of my coworkers are either old, have lung issues, or have family that do and they're pretty much scared shitless. I ride public transit every day and I've been dealing with Germs the size of turtles my entire adult life so I'm not terribly worried. I have the immune system of a dinosaur. I think that's a good thing.
Anyways, Worry not about Tex. Tex is prepared. Tex has supplies. Tex is working from home (safely) and that leads me to the next thing. Fun shit that Tex is doing.
Tex is practicing safe isolation as one should in these situations, meaning if I can't have fun at work I will have fun at home. That means a good bit of content creation. Tex n' Mike are blazing away on the next Tex Talks battletech along with a few other projects, namely the BPL Podcast idea which should take off relatively soon. Mostly. Kind of. We'll see.
We're also going to be considering doing some streaming, as people could sure use the entertainment right now and everything on Netflix and amazon seems a bit fucking broken with everyone trying to watch it. If you want to watch these streams, I'd recommend making sure your notifications are set. Strangely enough, more people on youtube have said notifications are working now that they've sent everyone home. Point for me.
Also - Look, I've had a few people say "Tex, I cant fund you anymore due to concerns about X and Y". I'm going to tell you that's absolutely fine. You MUST look after yourself FIRST and FOREMOST. I have a job. I will not be out in the streets raiding people for toilet paper if you have to watch your wallets for a while. Shit's scary out there. I acknowledge that. Just remember we're all in this shit together, and by exercising a little good caution I think we'll pull through. This can be a momentous moment in the history of humanity - where we learn to appreciate each other a little more, help each other a little more, and love each other a little more. Crisis often reminds us of what's important. I only ask you be safe. I'll update you guys when I'm ready.
TA TA FOR NOW.

Better sick ass overtime than sick ass, stay safe homes.
URBIE DEARH MATCH!

DOOM Eternal stream? Maybe? Perhaps? OO! OO! You and another BPL member could livestream an Urbie lance deathmatch in Battletech!

Yeah that's what I was thinking (though I never knew it was happening so didn't get in rip) but would be cool to interact live with the game, and it would also start out with less colonists and have more added as people join the stream. Would make for a good sequel run.

We actually did that in the BPL. Psydoc set up everyone exactly as they wanted. They're the people in the BPL rimworld playthrough. Over 60 people submitted and got in

Shame cause I'd love to see a Rimworld BPL-esque run using the TwitchToolkit/Toolkit Utils mod, where we can buy/customize our own colonists, vote on events, view individual pawns stats/needs etc. but I get why you'd avoid it.

It seems you are on top of things MR.Tex. I'll try my best as well. They won't get my TP without a fight.

Nah, I'm sure we're fine. It's not like we were test subjects against our will or anything...

"Finally, a use for all these FIESTA PAILs they paid me with. And everyone laughed when I said they had sponsored me!"
also Urbenmech pic on point
The military has injected me with several series of Anthrax vaccines and other stuff marked "unknown" on my shot record. I am probably already screwed.
Glad to hear you in a good place, getting sick overtime, and not be encumbered by the fuckadoodles that make your job difficult. thats a winning combination hope to see you stream soon, * crosses finger for Diablo 2*
Dark Azial
Thanks for that. Love the streams

Ta Tas are good!
THE BLACK PANTS LEGION
Only on Youtube. I don't do twitch because I give Amazon enough money. I also have the donation button disabled. I'd rather just stream for fun and well, twitch doesn't seem to like that setup
Thanks for the update! Stay safe!

FNG here- what's the twitch address? Just tried /theblackpantslegion and /blackpantslegion and got errors. Unless it's stream on YT?
