Good morning everyone! I know we're all rushing around trying to get those last-minute gifts and things before the big day on Thursday! I know I haven't been around much, but I wanted to give you all some updates.

So I know that we were all stoked that I finally found employment! Well, it fell through. Some things that needed to be done were no,t and people who said they could and would do things couldn't and didn't. All in all, it actually made the situation worse rather than helping. The good news is that, one, I have amazing friends who care and look after me even when I fight them about it, and two, what I need to sustain my household for another month is being provided. Sure, this has been a rough time, and it took a bit of a toll on me but also I needed to spend my time making sure that the boy and I were continually sustained.

In charting a path forward, I've decided to go back to my original plan. Some of you know that I have a Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security Management, however I need the certifications to go with it, so I'm enrolled in a training program that will help me to get the certs that I need that will help me jumpstart a new career.

On the stream side, I'm happy to announce that we're bringing back giveaways in 2026. They'll look a little different, given the current situation described previously, but will evolve as time goes on. There will be a selection of items that you can choose from that will expand as things go forward. Also, as things go forward, I'm hoping to get back to somewhat of a normal streaming schedule (I know they've been sporadic or non-existent for a bit).

Finally, despite what was mentioned previously, Hammer Time 2 will not release in 2025. While I believe all the levels are completed (unless I get a spark of inspiration), they're in the playtesting phase to make sure they are as good as they can be. Additionally, the final boss still had to be coded, implemented, and tested, and then the creation of the overworld. That said, there's a lot still to do.

All of that to say that it's been an insanely wild month and we're not even done yet!

But as always, I appreciate all of you for all that you've done and all your support. I hope that you all have a very happy holiday, and I'll see you all sometime soon!!!

Hey everyone. Just a few updates for you.

For those who didn't know, I'm employed again! To give the brief back story for those who missed it, I was unceremoniously terminated from my last job in July and basically (and purposely) left with, was supposed to be no way forward, but I'm proud to say that we made it 4 months with no income with no disconnections or repossessions and living the same lifestyle as if I was working. After all the searching and applying, this new position found me, instead of the other way around.

All of that to say, I've had to adopt a new schedule that I need to get adjusted to. As soon as my body catches up, we'll be live again. There's a possibility that I might change the current schedule to something a little different to better accommodate this new schedule. All in all, we'll figure it out.

Also, just wanted to thank you all for another great year (even though it's not completely over yet). I've had the greatest of times, and it's all because of each of you. I've said it before, you all are the best part of Drop the Hammer, I'm just the guy with the name. The year in review may not be what others consider successful, but I'm proud of it, all because I had the privilege to hang out with the greatest community ever!

I love and appreciate you all, and I'll be seeing you all very soon!

PS. For those interested, a new version of Hammer Time is in the -time-updates channel for those who wish to playtest. If you're unable to access the channel, let us know so we can get you the appropriate role for it.

Hey everyone. I know it's the end of the day, but from my family to yours, I wish you all an incredible Thanksgiving. While I try to express this more than just on one day a year, I want to make sure you all know how thankful I am for each of you. Your support has been incredible, and you've been by my side through all the ups and downs, especially during this year when it seemed like **everything** that could happen, did.

All of that to say thank you. Not just today, but every day. The best part of Drop the Hammer is all of you.

I plan to stream tomorrow, but we'll see. I've been extremely tired trying to catch up from the last two weeks. We'll see what to play, or I might even put more work into Hammer Time 2. One never knows, but make sure you have those notifications active so you don't miss it!

Have a great night. I love you all!

Hey everyone! You might have noticed that I've been quiet for a little while. There's been a lot going on for me this week. So I'll take some time to unpack it all.

First, thank you for all the birthday wishes on Saturday. I'm extremely grateful to see another year, and even more excited to have an incredible community to celebrate with. While Saturday was a great day, it was also bittersweet as it was also the day set aside for the homegoing services for my grandmother, who passed away on Oct. 31st.

So, between dealing with all that comes with losing a loved one, traveling to Philadelphia, PA, to be with my family during this tough time of transition, my birthday, and all the other things I have going on IRL, it's been a lot.

Nonetheless, we'll push through and come out better on the other side of it all. I again appreciate all the birthday wishes and the support that I have from this incredible community.

I'm going to try to get back to some sense of normalcy as soon as I can and get rolling again.

With that, I wish you all a great night, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone very soon! I love you all!

Hey everyone! So as much as I hate to do this, I have to put a pause on the 2,000 push up challenge. I've been dealing with an issue with my left shoulder that seems to only be getting worse despite what was originally recommended for me to do (working it out to make it stronger) after x-rays came back normal.

Depending on what they tell me, we might continue after healing, even if it means extending past the end of November.

I appreciate all your support throughout this, and you can still donate to the fundraiser, at the link below, if you wish.

Hope you all have an incredible night!

2,000 Push-Up Challenge for Stop Soldier Su***de: Day 4 - November 8, 2025

I've signed up for the 2,000 Push-Up Challenge for Stop Soldier Su***de because this cause is close to my heart. I want to take action and make an impact. And I would love your help. Whether you donate $5 or $500, every bit counts. I've set an ambitious goal because I know that with support from people like you, I can get there.

Stop Soldier Su***de is on a mission to drive veteran su***de rates down to civilian parity by 2030. We will accomplish this mission through strategic partnerships, industry-leading su***de assessment tools, and a disruptive high-touch, high-frequency case management model that is the first of its kind in the veteran services field. We are the only organization in the nation with the formula and momentum to reduce veteran su***de at a systems level.
