"You know PlayStation isn't going to reverse their policy, right?" Wow, good point. I'll just throw my beliefs aside and only buy digital PS games I don't own, then. That's what you want me to say, right?

I'm pretty sure adulthood is just hitting the point when the weekend comes around, you're ready to recover from the last work week, but then look at your garage and think, "... We could use more shelving on that wall," and not resting till that wall has at least 7 more shelves for storage.

This console generation: Sony: You'll own nothing and pay us for the privilege. And D2 is stupid. Play Marathon instead. Microsoft: Damn, you like every other studio we had and don't play COD? Here's us not giving a fuck. Nintendo: Star Fox and Zelda are cool, huh? Also, here's a talking flower.

I woke up this morning, and I see Playstation decided to hang themselves today... Okay. Sony and Microsoft are both dead to me at this point. They're beyond saving, and no exclusive is gonna change my mind at this point.

Grab your horse, and grab your gun, everyone ! We got skellies that need to be shot, miniguns that need levelin' up, and a bow we need to enable explosive-bolt shot to! Let's get this done! Far Far West is on! twitch.tv/Mr_Crunchberry #FarFarWest

I'm not saying we don't have problems and issues here in the U.S. Good lord though. I'm not even a soccer fan, and all these foreigners coming over here for the World Cup, discovering how cool America is when even I've forgotten at times, everyone welcoming them, everyone happy...

Thoughts on the Steam Machine: The price is not ideal, and it's obvious that it's fucking AI's fault. At the same time, if that's the price for never having to entertain Sony and Microsoft's bullshit ever again while playing multiplayer games for free, I reluctantly say, "So be it."

Shouting into the void I know, but I focus on indie games now because I've gotten tired of unqualified people in suits, with too much money, stepping on the throats of creators with vision then sucking their blood.

This would give me a chance to doodle a bit. Maybe I'll do this.

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

I will be awake for the direct tomorrow.

THIS! The industry is in BAD shape thanks to poor planning/acquisitions and spending by the people in charge, who have now been sold a silver bullet in AI to solve this and are learning 1) it's not a silver bullet but a band aid at best and 2) it's negatively effecting sales when used!

Made with Gen AI, and Denuvo DRM is bolted inside too. How fucking dare you do this to a franchise I've wanted to see return for two decades now. Go fuck yourself, Sega. I'm not buying. @sega-west.bsky.social

Gaben. Please be the one that says this fuck shit is happening because of AI. Boy, I sure love being priced out of my hobbies. Fuck you, Sam Altman.

This has to be the most unlucky loot goblin I've ever seen. Good for us, but DAMN. Wrong place, wrong time dude. #farfarwest www.twitch.tv/mr_crunchber...

The stream is back on, and we're checking out Far Far West. This looks like everything I was hoping the last two Borderlands games would be, so let's pop this in and see what's up with these spell casting, gun slinging, robo-cowboys. twitch.tv/Mr_Crunchberry

To this day, I have no idea how Koji Kondo was able to create a song that perfectly encapsulates the vast, eternal beauty of the cosmos. And yet, here it is. #starfox #starfox64

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. ~ Francis de Sales Je Shen (China b. 1973)

There's only one right answer. @strongbadnofoolin.bsky.social

... I honestly hate how disinterested I am in this. The preview trailer looks like we're gonna get the same mechanics with everything looking hyper-realistic. It's an alien world, idiots. It isn't supposed to look like real world USA.

Splatoon Raiders? More like "Oops, All Salmon Run." It looks alright, but it feels like the Side Order DLC from Splatoon 3 was a proof of concept, and now Raiders is going full force with the same idea. I don't know if that's gonna be worth a full game's price. #Splatoon

Someone at work today said I looked like a young Bob Seger, and... Holy crap... Is this a sign to join or start a band, or something?

New creed to the stream. This is what makes The Checkpoint different than the HOC: I'm not trying to get big, or to turn this into a living. www.twitch.tv/mr_crunchber...

You all freaking ROCK! I mean this to just be a simple test run to see if everything is running, and I count at least a dozen of you in chat! Definitely looking forward to this becoming a regular thing again. Rock on!

Well, let's boot up the stream and see if she's ready to roll again. We're here with Terminator 2D: No Fate to mow down some T-800s! Get in here! twitch.tv/Mr_Crunchberry

The stream returns tomorrow! And with any luck, it won't be another month till I stream again. Hopefully everything works. See you tomorrow at 2PM PST!

I believe so. It would obviously be better if they lived closer and we could hang out IRL, but that doesn't change the fact that the people I've met through streaming are amazing.

I've been playing DDR and Pump It Up for over 20 years now. These aren't the hardest charts, but I can still pull off full combos. Still got it. 😁 #DDR #PumpItUp

SPOILERS FOR THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS! #tadc Theory: Scratch made 2 copies of himself, one for the game and one as the AI, just in case things go south. Now that one AI has been erased, the second one is here, and has taken a familiar form, but just a bit different. "Just call me Caine-9"

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Aesop: I TOLD YOU

I'm getting tired of people shouting, "Let's Go!" whenever they get excited. It's just weak, compared to just a loud "YES!" or a Rick Flair-style "WHOOO!" That's my personal favorite. And with how pervasive the "let's go" chant has gotten, I just think, "Couldn't think of anything better?"

Happy 13 year Anniversery, @mrcrunchberry.bsky.social you made our weekend very sneaky and fun. 😊🩷💙

Maybe one day. 😅

Finally got to celebrate our anniversary, after several years of work related mumbo-jumbo getting in the way. We're a few days away, but happy anniversary @mrscrunch4.bsky.social. Can't wait to show you what the rest of the celebration entails. 😁

PSA for Discord's new age verification! If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it. Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+ It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

Neurons activated? Nah. Neurons FLARED UP! youtu.be/2MtgIoToa7I?...

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

Man, I am so freaking glad I didn't update to Windows 11. I'm hearing about all the bloat and forced AI integration, and I'm so happy I'm not part of that crap. Fuck you @microsoft.com

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Every day in 2026 I've woken up mad, without fail. Fuck ICE, fuck this whole fucking Administration. Bunch of evil evil evil dirty little liars. WE SEE THROUGH YOU!!!! *screams* what absolute scumbags. #art

And just like that, Istanbul Turkey goes on the list of places to travel to, someday. 😊
