About Me

 Boomer the PNG Tuber

I started my online career as Boomer the PNG Tuber, a TV-head pngtuber (or Vtuber, depending on your preferences) streaming over on Twitch. I streamed a small variety of games, including Minecraft, Slay the Spire, Pokemon, and a few others.

I was eventually invited to the HEY!!!Craft SMP hosted by Farmer Gadda, a lore-light (or lore-less) SMP of a few
friends. I am still a member of the SMP despite my hiatus.

Recently, I have rebranded as a shark mermaid PNGTuber, using pixel art I created as the PNG I stream with. As my large computer currently is out of commission, I am severely limited in what I can or cannot play on stream, leaving me to stream Just Chatting, Minecraft, or Chillquarium.

Behind the Curtain

I am in my late twenties, living on the west coast with my partner and dog, and have recently (as of 1/15/25) started this blog. I am in my last year of college, majoring in English and minoring in Sociology, and am hoping to be accepted into a master's program this upcoming fall so that I can continue my education in English. My large goal is to get a PhD in Literary Environmental Criticism, but I have a few steps to complete before I get there.



Why did I start the blog?

I have a deep love for analysis and wanted an outlet that was not schoolwork. I am running a lot of TTRPGs this year as one or multi-shot games and wanted to be able to reference back to how those games went, what we did, and when we did it. This is just as much an archive of my gaming experience for me as it is for y'all.

Future Plans for the Blog

I may post book reviews as well, largely unrelated to TTRPGs, as I finish them up. I have to do weekly analyses of poetry and stories for my English classes and I may post them here as well (barring any that I keep to use for my master's thesis). I may also post original creative work here, but I may also keep that wholly separate.

Actual Play: 10 Days in Hospital, a journaling game

Welcome to 10 Days in Hospital , a one page journaling game about being stuck in the hospital over ten days after an emergency operation. This game in particular stands out to me because when my mom was in the hospital after her stroke, she was still alive for 10 days before we finally pulled her off life support. This game is emotional, and deals with themes of the hospital , surgery , loneliness , pain , medication , and helplessness .  For the purposes of journaling I have played this game in one sitting, completing all 10 days and the final check and written it all down for you here. Please check out the game and support the creator! The game is pay what you want, with all proceeds going to Doctors without Borders, though you can pick it up for free as well. Premise After an examination, you've been referred to the hospital for an operation.  1. How do you feel about going to the hospital? Honestly, I'm nervous going. I don't like staying in the hospital long term, even...

Monster of the Week - One Shot

You can find the system here . The game ran on March 1, 2025. For starters, here is the pitch I sent my players:  Welcome to Slade Corp, a monster hunting division out of Central Texas. Your jobs, as you understand them, is to track monsters and relocate them back to their natural habitats or a wildlife preserve suited for their care. This case however, is a doozy. A large radius of people have reported hauntings on a scale you've never seen before, and you're worried this is beyond your scope. I thought the idea of a monster relocation service was interested and decided to expand from there. This storyline was constructed almost completely off the cuff. I decided on the monsters of the drekavac and La Llorona because of the German and Mexican populations in Central Texas. Yes, the drekavac is Slavic, but I couldn't find a good German ghost story in short notice, so we had to pivot slightly. The story ended up moving away from what I initially planned, but that w...

My Here, There, Be Monsters 5 shot experience

 You can find the system here . This game started on February 28, 2025 and ended on April 21, 2025. I treat this system a lot looser than I think it's meant to be, which is saying something because it's an incredibly loose system to start. I keep forgetting how the magic system works and decide in the moment how to do it every single time it came up. Other rolls were basically nonexistant or to decide if something was funny enough to happen when I didn't want to make a call in either direction. We left a lot up to fate and I let my players run with it. The big things my players took away from the system were a fairly freeform magic system, especially the way that I interpret the magic. I allow my players to cast magic as they see fit - and sacrifice whatever they want to to accomplish it - and weigh their sacrifice against how much they want something to succeed. I honor the dice rolls as well, but I keep in mind how strong a sacrifice is versus how badly they want it to ha...
