Hey there, StanDamFam!
First off, we owe you an apology for the radio silence. Last week hit us like a Deathclaw in a rad storm... literally. Between power outages and our internet playing hide-and-seek, everything got pushed back harder than my hairline. But now that we’ve emerged from the static, we’re back online and ready to bring you all the chaotic updates you've been waiting for.
🛠️ Live Streams: New Channels, New Schedule, Same Glorious Mess
We’ve officially launched a brand-new YouTube channel just for our Game Dev content: youtube.com/@DamageIndustriesRift
Here’s the new livestream breakdown:
-
🧪 Game Dev Streams – Every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am ET on both Twitch and the new Game Dev channel
-
☒️ Fallout Community Streams – Every Saturday at 12pm ET on both Twitch and youtube.com/@StandardDamage
Bonus chaos? Oh, you bet. Pop-up streams (think parody show recordings, DJ sets, and PLUR Art mayhem) are coming this fall. Want to be the first to know? Join our Discord at discord.gg/standarddamage and grab the “Going Live” role in #get-your-role to get pinged every time we go live!
🎉 The Creativersary Is Coming (And It’s Gonna Be Wild)
Mark your Pip-Boys: August 22nd kicks off this year’s Creativersary: our annual celebration of you, us, and 7 years of full-time chaos-fueled content creation. (Previously known as the AnniPLURsary. New name, new party!)
This year, we’re looking forward, and you can expect at least the following:
-
🎧 Launch of the first four episodes of Wasteland Weekly, plus bonus parody content
-
🗎️ A whole new set of stream alerts (including the return of “First to Stream!”)
-
👕 New merch drops: Damage Industries, Wasteland Weekly, Richard, Agents of Chaos... and a surprise that’s way too ridiculous to spoil early
-
⭐ Upgraded Member Benefits (announced live during the event!)
-
🌐 A fully revamped StandardDamage.com: Sleeker look, D.I.C.C. character bios, and even more questionable decisions
📢 More Social Activity? Yes Please.
Starting this week, expect way more action across our social platforms, especially Discord, the YouTube Community Tab, Bluesky, and right here on this beautiful, questionably managed website. More posts, more laughs, more sneak peeks into the chaos machine that is Damage Industries.
💖 We Love You from the Bottom of our Chaotic Hearts.
Thanks for sticking with us through the outages, the schedule changes, and the stream of Richard-related incidents. You are the reason this weird, hilarious, glitch-powered machine keeps running. Whether you’ve been here since the first duct-taped livestream or just joined us because the internet said, "hey, this might be fun," we’re so glad you’re here.
Now grab your goggles, your headset, and maybe a croissant from Jen’s TT Bakery, and let’s dive headfirst into the next chapter together. Because around here, chaos is content.
With all our Love,
Jamie and Agents of Chaos
P.S. The attached picture is our new picture of Richard! Just finished it today! It will be the new avatar for YouTube and Richard's new overlay.
To My Beloved StanDamFam,
We have some thrilling updates regarding our member benefits and content!
If you haven't had the chance to stop by the live streams lately, you should! We've moved away from Fallout 76 exclusive streams and moving heavily into the promised Game, Art and Live Stream Development. We've been listening to your feedback and working hard during these streams to enhance your experience and it even more rewarding!
Here's what we've done so far...
-
Lowered Level Requirements: The level requirements to use commands have been lowered, meaning you can enjoy more perks sooner. Dive right in and explore all the fun interactions we have to offer. Our new How To Damage page has all the details: https://standarddamage.com/pages/how-to-damage
-
Expanded Benefits Across the Board: We've added new benefits for all our support levels, including light color changes and our new game downloads. No matter your level of support, you'll find even more ways to engage and enjoy our content.

The point of all these changes, as well as the new Live Stream content, is to help show you what you're supporting...
Game Development: We're working on an exciting new game projects, that we building live every Tuesday and Wednesday. You can also download the latest version of our Practice game for free! Full details here: https://standarddamage.com/supporters/posts/115933
Art/Live Stream Development: We're also enhancing our live streams with more art, creative elements, and the upcoming PLUR streams. These are being built live on our Friday streams (also coming soon to Sundays)
For those of you who aren't familiar with our PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) streams, get ready for immersive, artistic experiences that combine music, visuals, and community interaction. Your support is directly helping us bring these unique streams to life.
For our Fallout 76 fans, that will be playing out more in our new YouTube videos and Radio Station, which is curently in production! Members will have sneak peeks of all this content soon, including our new hilarious commercials. We're also working on some off-camera game time with the community. Again, more to come on that very soon!
Thank you for being a vital part of our community. We're incredibly grateful for your support, which allows us to keep creating and innovating. We can't wait to share all these exciting new developments with you!
Stay tuned for more updates, and see you in the streams!
With Love and Appreciation,
Jamie
