Insomnia is back. I'm chalking it up to excitement, but the reason hardly matters; I just want to sleep through the night.

I've gotten 1 tip (<$20) in the past 5 days. Everyone seems to think that other people are tipping me.
So... I have to get a job.
Can anyone recommend me for something part time & WFH so I can keep making content & not have to get something full time and quit? I'm very smart/capable.

I'm excited for the Ocarina of Time remake. I mean, I don't have a Switch 2 yet, and definitely need to play Pokopia first, but I'm excited for the game all the same.
