After yesterday's successful test run of the new streaming setup, and crushing through ContraHC Cool Spot, today's task is to actually beat Super Mario 64. Turns out, that required a bit more tweaking to get running right. Twitch.tv/neomagicwarrior at 12p est. #supportsmallstreamers

With all of the horrible going on in the world, I need a break. Had some time so I set the game streaming right back up and am gonna go live around 1 till I get tired of it! Twitch.tv/neomagicwarrior

Hey! Its me! Come listen to a thing I do every once in a while!!!

New record day always brightens the mood. Not pictured: cat relaxing in a box across the room. @badtimerecords.bsky.social

Official X-Mas special rankings: 1) Christmas Story 2) Christmas Vacation 3) Mickey's Xmas Carol 4) Grinch (Illumination) 5) Life & Adventures Of Santa 6) Charlie Brown Xmas 7) Muppets Xmas Carol 8) Grinch (old cartoon) 9) Die Hard 10) Olive The Other Reindeer This is not up for debate.

"What shall I put you down for?" "Nothing" "You wish to remain anonymous?" "I wish to be left alone!"

Just watched "A Merry Little Ex-Mas" and have to say it might be the Xmas movie that gets me the angriest. Motivations for characters were all over the place and it felt like half the plot was missing. Bonus points for "The Big LePlowski" tho

It's past Thanksgiving, so now it's time to start watching all the good Xmas movies. Starting with one of the absolute best!

I always forget this guy is green every year for some reason... Decorating the tree, expect additional photos.

It's November 1st...time for some cheer! @skatunenetwork.bsky.social

Due to the general state of things *waves hands wildly*, I've been really diving back into video games in a way I haven't in years, playing a bunch of stuff I just never got around to. This month alone, I ran through Ratched and Clank (and most of 2). Uncharted 1-3, Yakuza Pirate, and Horizon 2

You ever go to the board game store to pick up a preorder...and while you're there you grab a couple deals/new releases.... Only to get home to find multiple board game deliveries waiting for you. Looks like I've got a set afternoon.

My cat has better taste in music than your cat. Fight me.

Me - Your report filters are wrong Boss - No no, something went wrong with the data! 20 min of arguing over Teams call later: Boss - oopse my report filter is wrong

Very few things make my house smell better than a skillet full of cornbread.

New receiver and relocated the speakers... Sounds SOOO much better than the AliExpress-special I had in there before

Going through all the bags of stuff @magicallylazy.bsky.social dragged home from Gencon and adding them to inventory. Great time to just put on a record (The Gorillaz - Demon Days, for those interested) and jam out some data entries.

Spending the afternoon getting through some #sologames. Got a middling score in Coffee Roaster while my cat doses off in his pirate ship while we jam out to Christopher Cross.

Partner comes home from Gencon tomorrow. Made up a huge lemonade and got some records going while I clean up all the mess I haven't addressed while they are gone.

Turns out, my cat doesn't particularly like Bob Dylan.

Vegetarian partner is away at Gencon - time to quickly post about (and cook) beef!

Need a better amp and probably a referb on the speakers, but the record "nook" is one of the better parts of my house right now. Especially since the speakers point to the kitchen so I can listen while I cook.

Just bought a massive stack of records from our local place, The Record Museum and paid an incredibly low price...around 2.50 each! Gotta go back and grab some more next time...what should I look out for?

Spent the weekend painting this absolutely massive map in a room of the house that will almost never be used. At least guests will be impressed!

This is your annual reminder that the Mayor in Jaws 2 is the same as in Jaws 1.

"Separate hot dogs with a hammer" is a thing I had to do this week, and it's not even the strangest, or most stressful.

Me: schedules for a brand new AC installation on Wednesday. The Earth: heatwave starting on a Monday. My old AC: if you are gonna replace me, I might as well die anyway.

Same squirrel, same. TGIF.

Excited to get a full HVAC overhaul in our new place next week. Not excited for the heatwave that starts this week.

@tombrewster.bsky.social - can we get the answer key to the Quiz? I need to know if I'm a Dweeb.

I'm playing GTA 4 for the first time (yeah I know, a bit late) and the radio stations feel a bit too close to reality. It's uncanny that we've slipped this far into parody.

Obligatory #newcat pics after spending too much money on treats/snacks/toys/things that make him smell better.

@bhesslau.bsky.social really enjoying Desktop Survivors, but could we get some more I-frames after purchasing an upgrade? Playing on controller (cause I'm a monster) and constantly get hit after a mid level upgrade.

I get up to get ice cream for 1 second and this guys jumped in my seat. What the hell happened to save-sies?! #newcat

This is the look of a man who is up to no good. #newcat

For anyone who needs this cursed knowledge: #wokepope has the same number of syllables as "DuckTales"

The best use of a multi-tv game room is to play games during the breaks of the #pwhl playoffs.

Really nailed the beef to broccoli ratio this time around. #cooking

@tombrewster.bsky.social - now that you haven't been selected as the next pope, does that mean you'll finally have time to make a sequel to the Steely Dan video from forever ago?

I'm usually pretty risk adverse, but one of the scariest things I do on the regular is make homemade chili oil. You never get used to the feeling of pepper spraying yourself every time you need to toast the chilies.

Back in my day, you'd respond to "May the 4th be with you" with "and also with you"... None of this "and with your spirit" garbage.

"I need my math time!" Playing Alchemists from @czechgamesedition.bsky.social with @magicallylazy.bsky.social

Man...this weekend really turned into "I bet I can beat Diablo II before Monday" Seems productive, right?

@ea-sports.bsky.social This is BULLSHIT. Let my Sirens kick the crap outta some NHL bozos!

We are currently dealing with an uninvited mouse in the kitchen, and the exterminator, after asking multiple times if we had kids/pets in the area said "ok...guess I can use the good stuff"

Sitting outside the Prudential Center waiting for the @pwhlsirens.bsky.social games to start... trying to lay low cause I've got my Flyers gear on!

It's not fair that I have to live in a world with Baja Blast, but no caffeine free Baja Blast.

"The box says 60-90 min" - the 30 extra minutes of stickers, punch outs and origami:

I'm two dungeons through Minishoot Adventures, and can already tell it will probably be my game of the year. It nails game feel in a way that is hard to describe. It's also built to allow a wild amount of flexibility (respect at will!) as well as keeping the difficulty on the non-punishing side.
