FREAKATHON '26

click for larger img

we've joked about this for over a year (i started the DBD streams in june!), so i think it's finally time: the pinhead steam key subathon. we are getting that FREAK. he will be a 1 point channel redeem and i will drop everything i am doing, no matter the current game or activity, and i will play pinhead for yall if we can get himbut we're not JUST doing that!!!
also i'm debuting a new 3.1 madame 2D model (our first 2D one on the channel), 2.0 soma model, new chat + overlay, all done by the ever-talented apple:

AND!
a low-poly 3D model of the 3.1 design made by beloved ame (and the Bones/weight painting/etc done by the lovely biz):

(ame also made the calendar and goals/etc graphics!)
AND AND!!!
we ALSO have a new !skillcheck system for you guys to spam during the sleeping segments (and whenever else, i guess, i'm not stopping you)
every hour you can open a !chest and start your hoard of items, checked by !inventory
to use a toolbox, use: !skillcheck toolbox [RARITY]
toolboxes will increase your odds of passing !skillchecks, because we've RESET OUR COMPLETED GENS COUNTER BACK TO 0 after finishing 75 of them with the old system
currently only your toolboxes will have a use, but that should change in the future...
and, you guessed it, done by ame ( https://sakuramori.carrd.co/ )
mods, thank ame
BTW everyone's channel points will be refunded, and the prices of some things will be cheaper! check those out
careful about spending them all before the crowd control segment!!! i'll be making options via channel points

so, how are we doing this?
the entire month, all but the day i meet my lead mod @raygun in person, has two main segments: a collab and a solo-activity -- these are set, scheduled plans guaranteed to happen (baring life/health obligations, will be rescheduled later if so).
the goals are benchmarks for future streams/sessions/events/etc to take place after the subathon
so where does the timer come in?
all donations will go towards a timer that will only go down during time spent playing survivor with friends in dead by daylight where i will be attempting to get survivor adepts. every 10 subs will require me to buy another survivor, until we cap out and buy the rest at the pinhead point. during these segments, i will have to do a squat for every survivor that doesn't escape -- it'll pay to leave my friends behind
100 bits = 1 minute
tier 1 sub = 5 minutes
tier 2 sub = 10 minutes
tier 3 sub = 15 minutes
donation $1 = 2 minutes
shoutout to eggs for hooking me up with the timer we're using!

full disclosure: the amount of subs necessary includes all necessary means to pay for:
- the missing survivors my iridescent shards won't cover
- the top 3 pinhead steam keys + fees (in case the first two don't work)
there is basically no monetary gain for me during this event, i am solely focused on covering the price of this absolutely asinine achievement of raising money for this stupid pinhead steam key. this is the most expensive bit i've ever committed to
we'll also be running a SIDE campaign along this!
follows and raids will increase an additional timer for running the killer gauntlet challenge ( https://beta.dbd.techibbie.com/standard-gauntlet ) either done as filler or finished out after the subathon:
follow = 5 minutes
raids = 1 min/per person
!!!PLEASE DO NOT BACKSEAT MY HEALTH!!!
i know this always comes from a place of care and concern, but it's always really rubbed me the wrong way despite the nothing but positive intentions. we're no stranger to 16 hour streams here, so a month-long subathon is our version of a "24 hour stream." i will be eating when i'm hungry, i will be sleeping when i can (as in when my insomnia isn't kicking my ass like it usually is), i will be cancelling collabs/plans/days if my health is a priority, i will be -- you get the point. the community is REJOICING when they get ipad baby time, as it's common to throw on some youtube videos and go tend to self-care matters.
i took off a bunch of time before it, and i plan on taking time off after.
the point of this event is for everyone to be having fun, so i'll be taking the necessary measures to assure it stays that way healthily
