this person is a positive presence in the Pit community (like so many of you!) and deserves what help you are able to throw their way 💜

I recently sat down with the creator of the SNES port of Doom, and the Playstation emulator bleem! & bleemcast! This Friday the 13th at 7:00PM, rip and tear... into a 2+ hour interview with Randy Linden. Set your alarms! 👇

Finally, something worth putting on my tombstone @tietuesday.bsky.social

This is an interesting video on this famous stage: youtu.be/aQEzGluAG9o?... However, I'm convinced that if the general public made it past the dam, they would have soon discovered just how dogwater a video game can become. That last stage, boy howdy it's a nightmare of 'hate-the-player energy.'

Reabs: you're always doing one of those shufflers, you've been doing them every day for months 'yeah, almost 420 hours now' Reabs: wait, it's the same one?

My fellas

Session 68! 3 games left again lol twitch.tv/Smight

This time...! twitch.tv/smight

For about thirty seconds last night, I was done with the shuffler. I was reaching for the finish button during credits when 10 more games got added. Thanks..!!

This time...! Only 3 games left of 280! The mega damage shuffler of 2025/6! twitch.tv/Smight

Mega Damage Shuffler, session 64 - swap on damage - Force swaps- Currently playing 268 games, 270 clears! Only two left!!! 380 hours! twitch.tv/Smight

I run a trivia game show, that's extremely Lara Croft. Sorry brand other team gets 15pts.

No broadcasts from me til Friday night. Still gonna be outta town. Arcade Pit gonna keep on being on Sunday as usual!

Tiny corn hole #arcadepit logo my guy @smight.bsky.social 's show this weekend 💜

The cosplays bring this to another level for me

Last bit of stuff for me at magfest-- Joint Mega Man Damage shuffler with the folks here! Starting soon Twitch.tv/magfast

To the person saying hello to me at the challenge wall- sorry, I was locked in. Had to defeat Morph Moth.

Perfection wizard stopped by Arcade Pit and won the gold snail #magfest

Isaac being low visibility and not full screen because other settings make my laptop lag (the one that easily handles arcade pit) made that much harder to win!

twitch.tv/magfast I'm on next! Donation incentives will make me play more of the six roguelikes I brought

If I talk to you daily online and met you in person a few times a year there's a 50% chance I won't recognize your face It only goes down from there. Better tell me who you are, it's fine!

Did not get to attend "The necessity of Mega Man X6" panel let me know how it was

Good morning Three months after the fact, I followed through on a Castlevania: Mirror of Fate bit teased with @ryyudo.bsky.social This references the VG Hustle segment from Arcade Pit by @smight.bsky.social which in itself is a reference to the NES game Freedom Force (the source of the music).

Only 7 left, this time! twitch.tv/Smight

Only 12 games left out of the 250 I have started in the damage shuffler. People keep adding more (very grateful !) but I am keeping pace. Maybe we'll finish tonight? twitch.tv/Smight

There was a time about 20 years ago where lying, annoying and sometimes dangerous ads like this were only seen much on seedy third-party sites & random blogs, instead of being featured at the top of YouTube app with priority as common practice. The intolerance for this sort of manipulation has gone.

Yo, MAGFest Guidebooks are out now! Make sure your schedule looks like this:

10 year history of Arcade Pit discourse & questions/answers, with @emilyaster.bsky.social and @tietuesday.bsky.social Had a few hiccups including my mic being muted for a bit. Didn't get any sleep fixing the myriad of errors in this video we made last night but here it is! youtu.be/KniQOutthj4

Tomorrow, at 2 pm Eastern, 10 episodes of Arcade Pit! www.patreon.com/posts/10-yea... Stop on by!

Now that all my stretch goals got hit, the big giant 210+ game shuffler is gonna allow people to reset cleared games at random with tips. I've cleared 110 games so far, and here's what the wheel currently looks like...!

Thanks for the passive-aggressive shirt, mom

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content. AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

Arcade Pit 10-year anny is coming up, quicker than you may think! What might you like to see for Pit's 10th bday? History/retrospective? Behind the scenes, making of? Smth else? I would love to work on all these, just curious what the community might be looking for too. @smight.bsky.social

What I saw.

Arcade Pit, the weekly gameshow. We are extremely close to ten full years of never missing a single week, plus extra shows. Tonight's players: @okamiofgames.bsky.social, @kyon2570.bsky.social Notolecta, HyperCole64 And speedbump with @authorblu.es too! twitch.tv/Smight
