Gamer successfully beats most of World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros.

In case you needed another reason to support independent games media:

Anyone else find it strange that we don't have ANY clue who is going to be at #SummerGameFest this year? Like no partner list or anything??? Like yeah I'm press this year, but I feel like everyone else should know at this point who is going to be there.

Gee I wish there was an organization funded by the US that helped these countries with preventing situations like this from happening...

POV: you're helping do social media for a really cool charity marathon that everyone should tune into (and possibly donate to if you're able) @rpglimitbreak.bsky.social is super cool and worth watching! :D

If you have a few minutes and want to do some activism, send a comment to the FCC to tell them that LGBTQ themes and stories in media don't need a warning label. I don't stand for this blatant censorship of trans/LGBTQ voices and stories, and neither should you.

Support independent games media and peep our review of #ForzaHorizon6 when it goes live TOMORROW!!

Can't wait to finally try this series from the beginning. For $5, it sounds like a great excuse to snag it!

I'm sitting down and playing a video game for a review, and I've gotta say this is a neat activity. More people should do this.

GTA 6 better pack it up. GOTY is already decided.

Ah yes I love Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, featuring Samus from Metroid

This is a cozy game, through and through, that I really enjoyed from beginning to end. I wish there were at least some fail points or at least a little bit of struggle, but if you take the game for what it is, you'll have something that's definitely heartwarming. Our review of inKONBINI

I hope the spider's ok

I still haven't mentally recovered from the first lockdown... Also considering COVID started under his first admin, I am high-key worried about what might happen this time

Every time I feel dumb, I just need to remind myself that people like this exist.

This just in: Humans are reportedly drinking water to stay alive

As someone who takes antidepressants, this is incredibly fucked up and puts my life at risk. Hell, given the past year of this administration, I'm shocked I haven't had to INCREASE my dosage.

Saw May Day protest signs on half the bridges I pass on the highway to get to work today. Ya love to see it!

It's #AAPIHeritageMonth! Celebrate the Asian American and Pacific Islander diaspora by playing their games, now highlighted in the first ever AAPI Games Steam sale!

Us white people have more of a responsibility than ever to stand up for our marginalized brothers and sisters. We need to be the generation that shows up and stands up for others, because this is unacceptable.

I only started writing for free last year, and I can safely say it is not viable for new writers at all. I'm not saying private equity ruined everything, but companies like Valnet aren't exactly helping things.

Gonna actually throw hands with Google. They keep asking for my ID to allow me to put links in my video descriptions, and they just deleted the one I sent them 2 fucking weeks ago. Like dude, I exist, I'm just not uploading as much 🫠

Since I'm going to #SummerGameFest in just over a month, I want to know from vets of the event: Is there anything I should know about Play Days going into it? It's my first time, so I want to make sure I can make the most of it!

Media Production Assistant for my college, $8/hr in 2019

So what I'm hearing is I should give FF14 another try someday... this expansion looks like it has the sauce!

Games media is so back (it was already great but this is also epic)

Totally passed me by, but my first upload was 8 years ago yesterday when I did PC Building Sim streams for a hot minute. We've come a long way!

Go watch this! Easily one of the best panels to be in the audience for at PAX!

UPDATE: After a day of retaliatory action by our old host, our new dev has the path mostly cleared right now. We are deeply thankful for all of the support, whether you donated or boosted, it means a lot. We have raised just under $1,700, which is almost half of our costs. 🫶🏽

If any Canadians follow me, I'm curious: Are basement apartments super common up there?? Every time I browse apartments in Canada (I can dream), I always see dozens of listings for apartments that are in the basements of houses???

Say it with me, folks: "Using Steam player numbers to measure the success of a singleplayer game is dumb."

Video is live! If you are looking for 54 minutes and 6 seconds of me exploring PAX East 2026, then this link should satisfy that oddly specific craving:

Today, my PAX East video will be live! Still doing a bit of QA to make sure it's good, but it should be up later tonight! Here's one of the thumbnails I'm gonna be testing out: (also yes that's Matt Mercer idk how the fuck I managed to meet him but I did)

Evergreen clip

This is the first and probably only time I'm proud to be raised Catholic. Not for any faith-related reason, but purely because the Pope doesn't deserve this hate from the Tangerine Tyrant. Judgement Day is coming for this man.

OK this PAX East video might take longer than I thought... This is just with my narration and one vlog clip so far... Guess I'll finish it by the time SGF rolls around at this rate LOL

I say this as someone who likes looking at the occasional rumor or doing speculation: Why are we continuing to give platforms to YouTubers who are objectively clickbait? r/GamingLeaksandRumours literally has this dude listed as completely uncredible lol

I'm about to show Mickey the Door to Darkness when I griddy on his ahh

Reminder that bullying companies using genAI works

Just need to survive 2.5 more years... surely we'll make it, right? 🫠

Posting this surprisingly early but I can't contain my excitement: I will be attending #SummerGameFest for the first time this year! I'll be doing coverage at Play Days for @smashpad.bsky.social, so I would love to chat with anyone looking to show off some cool stuff this year!

today it took all of my willpower not to call out a major indie game curator account over the following: i am. SO tired of indie games always being painted as "ACTUALLY FUN" alternatives to "MODERN AAAA SLOP" they're their own games dude! let them speak! stop projecting petty gamer rage onto them!

BREAKING: First photos from the Artemis II mission have been released. Earth looks so beautiful from up there. 🥹

Today I'm proud to announce my new, consistent YouTube upload schedule! ....did I do this April Fool's thing right?

As someone who reviewed Demon Tides and tried Bubsy 4D at PAX East, this is the perfect bundle if you love 3D Platformers. Absolutely jump on this bundle!

Yep, just as I suspected, post-PAX depression is hitting. What a fucking legendary weekend, I already can't wait for the next games event. Video coming sometime in April! Gotta work on my written previews first, though!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️

This year was easily the most interesting #PAXEast yet, and my first time with a media badge! I could have been better at taking pictures with people, but man what an adventure. Video coming soon, but for now I have several previews to write, so stay tuned to @smashpad.bsky.social for my thoughts!

Sunday 3/29 from 10am-1230pm I will be streaming LIVE from the PAX Show Floor with LANFest raising money for the MDA. I’d love if y’all could come out for my first collab stream at an event! See you at there!! Donate here: tilt.fyi/V1EOTM2spU

Shoutout to all these legends for an incredible show! Jacob's shows are always worth checking out at PAX, and the crowd's energy was second to none.
