Stayed up to get to the tire place as soon as they open, and boy there is nothing quite like the combined smell of tires, coffee and burnt popcorn at 8 in the morning.

I was gonna make a joke about 2026 already gifting me a screw in my tire, but... in an effort to try to view this new year in a more positive light we'll just call this one last "fuck you" from 2025.

2026

Finished Stranger Things. I wasn't thrilled with this season, but its also very surreal that its over. There's definitelty some irony that, in the show that is built on nostalgia, it's left me feeling nostalgic for the earlier seasons as well. Overall, I enjoyed the world that was shown to us.

The way Nancy's solution to everything is airing out the room. GIRL

I'm looking for an artist (or artists) to commission to help revamp parts of my YouTube channel. Specifically for a new endscreen, as well as helping design a new background for narration segments. Knowledge of video effects/editing is a plus, or I could just work with 2 artists if necessary!

I really, REALLY want to make a lot more videos in 2026. Send post.

I do my best to keep this starter pack up to date as folks join bsky or become more/less active, so if your feed is short on people who think cool thoughts check it out

Today Rainie would have turned 2 years old. Instead, it's now been exactly one month since we lost her. Definitely missing her hard today, but extremely grateful for the time we did have.

Confession: I've never played The Witcher III. I own 3 copies of it. Should I bump it to a higher place on my backlog?

You can't call yourself a Gamer™ until you've caught monsters and slayed them at the same time. Galaxy Z Fold 7 is so stupid, I love it.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

PSN Wrap-Up is pretty disappointing (and possibly inaccurate?) this year. Previous years showed like what games you played each month, and just generally had more detail. This one just feels hella barren.

Watching a YouTube video about GTA San Andreas, and the (very young sounding) voice said that Big Smoke's character was based on "Real Life Rapper Notorious Big" Not... B.I.G. just.. big. Anyway I instantly aged 70 years.

Made a little comparison of Mega Man's running animation from Super Smash Brothers Ultimate vs Mega Man Dual Override. Which do you prefer? Personally, I still think Smash's Mega Man captures the "Classic" feel MUCH better than Mega Man 11 AND Dual Override.

YouTube sent me the most comically large "Medium" size t-shirt. Sleeves past my elbows, and I'm absolutely swiming in it. Pic on the right is a normal Medium Size shirt. I'm 6'1'' btw. In what world is this a medium?

Absolutely this. I saw someone saying they thought Mega Man 11 was too much of "the same thing." Like yeah, that's the point (also it was WAY different than 1-10 anyway). If you want to play other games, play OTHER games. You don't have to innovate a series so much it loses what made it IT.

If this ain't a Monkey's Paw situation, I dunno what is. Ever since I was a child, I wished I could submit a design for a Robot Master in Mega Man. Why in the hell is using TWITTER a requirement to do so??

Remembering the time we watched a crime doc and learned how to setup ER contacts/texts on our phones and @simplyaj.bsky.social fumbled his phone so bad trying to send me a video of a Portland sign thrower that it wouldn't stop sending me SOS texts of half his face.

Hey Octopath fans: How related are the games? Is it like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest where each one is standalone? I wasn't the biggest fan of the original (but I also tried playing on a plane, so...?), but heard great things about II and 0, so curious which of those I should play next.

Super excited for Mega Man, but one very weird observation: Why is a game that's releasing in 2027 coming out on PS4? By that time a 14 year old console.

Call me crazy, but I miss when a game didn't need to spoil every reveal about itself prior to release. Imagine how much more special RE9 would be if he just showed up without being advertised?

Did anyone else get way more use and enjoyment out of their Wii U than their Switch 2? I'm honestly surprised at how little I've touched my Switch 2 since getting it at launch. Genuinely the first ever Nintendo system I've actually been disappointed with.

Not only is this incredibly insulting and disrespectful to QA workers, but at someone who, ya know, does this for a living, I absolutely do not believe you can replace the human element. GOOD QA needs human beings to think our weird ass thoughts to find issues.

I accidentally drank ants. Please end me now, that was the worst.

Sam made me a Gomu Gomu no Mi birthday cake. We're going to cut it into as many slices as there are episodes of the anime.

Today I turn 39~

This is the epitome every Black Friday Ad for "Cool Tech" that pops up this time of year. Anyone else craving an ice cold tall ass can of Ocoo Cal?

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out in some way. Apologies if I don't respond right away, just trying to take time to process everything, but I truly do appreciate the kind words.

Utterly devastated doesn't begin to describe our sadness. We had to say goodbye to our sweet baby Rainie today, a month before her second birthday. She helped get us over the grief of losing our last puppy, and filled our lives with so much happiness. I'll miss you every day, I love you Rainie.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

It's out! We did it! We crossed the finish line! You can finally play our latest game! Exclamation points !!

Demonschool is $22.49 on Steam (10% off launch discount) buff.ly/x2gL25B US eShop buff.ly/TxU2MtV US PS+ buff.ly/7A5p8WI XBL buff.ly/VJK36TI Deck verified

The reviews are in, now you better get ready for Demonschool tomorrow. "An approachable tactical RPG with a radioactive amount of style" - GamesRadar "Devilishly moreish and hard to put down..." - PC Gamer "There’s just nothing that looks, sounds or plays quite like Demonschool" - RPS

So many positive reviews of Demonschool today is awesome. I've put COUNTLESS hours of QA work into this game. So many that I started having dreams about it, and the best part? Not once did I get sick of it! Super proud of the whole team over at @necrosoftgames.com for making it to the finish line!

demonschool tomorrow

Why can we not turn off specific people's reposts, yet? There are times my feed is nothing but 40 random strangers reposted by ONE person I'm following.

What do you do when your dog develops a limp thats lasted 7 weeks and continues to worsen? Xray show nothing. CT scan shows nothing. 3 different vets. Ortho thinks its neurological, says to get an MRI($6K), Neurologist thinks its physical and says get a 2nd CT. We've already spent $3K. No answers.

Took these pics (with permission!) when I was touring Steam HQ Today's announcement makes me think of all the Steam Controllers that could have been. That Trackball went through to the BACK of the controller!

Next week! Demonschool! A tactics RPG with demons 'n school! Demons, cool! In Demonschool! Wednesday November 19th, on PC/Mac/Steam Deck Verified/every console! 😈 store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/... youtu.be/wvUJNNwjwlg

"This is just like your other show. What's it called? Sex Investigations with Ice Cube?" - @simplyaj.bsky.social It's SVU with Ice T??

I keep seeing a lot of articles like: "Arc Raiders is great BUT... I stand against using AI voices! 9/10" And like, ya'll, if you want to take a stand, maybe don't give it a glowing, positive review with a "but" in it? Just say "I don't play games that use AI slop. 0/10" Simple. Effective. Done.

Watching The Substance with @samwithoutaplan.bsky.social and she says: "If she poops out Margaret Qualley, I'm done"

Wow. Google not only has me listed as the programmer and lead developer on the Symphony of the Night randomizer (not true), but THEN goes as far as to claim that I described myself as such on my YouTube channel (also not true) Second pic is all the REAL developers of the SoTN randomizer, btw.
