Hi! I'm Amelie, and I stream Quake, a cozy retro FPS game where you can make your own levels. Come relax by the fire, 4:30PM-6:00PM Pacific weekdays, and 12:00PM-5:00PM+ Pacific Saturday. I'm lurker-friendly. Follow popups are turned off. Apart from Quake, some of my favorite games are Dark Souls 2, the Void, Heretic, Baldur's Gate 2, Silent Hill 1-4, and Darkwood. I'm also an author of spooky stories. You can find my books on [my website](https://amelieclanglois.com/) or listen to my shorts on my [youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/AmelieCLanglois).

You can find me here every day 4:30PM-6:00PM Pacific weekdays, and 12:00PM-5:00PM+ Pacific Saturday. Sometimes this will change, but everything is announced on this discord. Please keep in mind the horror and suffering that is daylight savings time. Sundays are currently D&D days with no stream, though may sometimes be stream days. Most days are Quake mapping streams, but I usually do plenty of gameplay too, mostly when there's a new release. Saturdays/Mondays are currently variety days, with a focus on retro FPS titles.

[Official Website](https://amelieclanglois.com/) - The source of forbidden eldritch knowledge, kept secret by the divine incantations of forgotten deities. Basically the Akashic record. [Discord](https://discord.gg/TQErzNeSsp) - Come here to chat about things, post spicy memes, and stare at fluffy animal pictures. We really like shamblers. [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/AmelieCLanglois) - Edited playthroughs of games, and narrations of alarmingly violent stories. [Shorts Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ComfyByTheFire) - Zesty clips from the stream. [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@comfybythefire) - Even more zest! [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AmelieCLanglois) - Announcements. Sometimes I even respond to things, but only in the arcane language of memes. [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/amelieclanglois/) - My artwork, but Instagram makes me crop things so better versions are on my website. [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AmelieCLanglois/) - Basically useless.

- Don't be a meanie. If you think something might hurt someone, it's usually not a good idea to say it. - Political/controversial discussion is fine, but don't make it weird. Be mindful if you're consistently making people uncomfortable. This is a friendly and welcoming place, and any debates should be kept civil. - Don't promote streams here. Other types of promotion, however, are encouraged, ie. maps, mods, music, stuff you're working on, etc. - Backseating/advice is welcome. I don't actually like being lost. Don't spoil stories or significant events or shambles will punch you. - Please don't mind if I miss or forget things; I have the memory of a pinecone.
