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. 😊

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I tried to "akshually" my way out of this but bump it. I want to do a debut vtuber model. I want to make the full shebang complete with an animated opening Do I have the money? Nope. I'll be doing this journey with my own skills (or equal trades). Let 2026 be my mimic villain era!

Still have things to iron out and gear to replace. It may be a bit scuffed from how it used to be, but yes: I'm coming back to regularly streaming in 2026. 😊👍

There's a lot of talk about how "it's inevitable" and "everyone's using it" in regards to gAI and I think it's pretty clear folk are misjudging just how much hatred there is toward it, the more the industry fucks with our jobs, tech, prices, privacy. You use this shit & your blacklisted to me.

Just beat Metroid Prime 4. It's a good game. I think the original 3 games are better, but this at least deserves to be on the same shelf as those. It's still a bummer, though. I was hoping for something earth-shattering, like the first Prime, and this isn't that. 3.5/5.

This might just be a "me" thing since I'm a very warm sleeper, but I LOOOOOVE IT when it finally gets so cold in the house that I have to sleep with a blanket. It's finally getting that chilly around here. 😁

Okay, I know I'm late. But I just got through the part in Deltarune Chapter 3 where you get the Shadow Mantle... There was... So much of that made me feel uncomfortable. It felt like playing something from a creepypasta, right down to the sounds and music. I hate it, but I love it. Damn, Toby.

...but tell me again how there's no bias against NW teams 🤬 I'll wait. ⚾❤️🔱

Gotta say: I'm really looking forward to a VR headset that isn't tied to Apple or Meta. Also, that Steam Machine is probably gonna be my next "console" on the downstairs TV. I've been wanting a Steam Deck for a while, but I'm glad I waited 'till an "update" like this came around.

Someone gifted me a caramel frappuccino from Starbucks at work today. I had it during one of my breaks. OH. MY LORD. Some people have one of these every day. HOW!? I felt like a sweaty waffle the rest of the day, and my stomach is doing flips right now. HOW do you manage that much sugar each day!?

I have a Japanese Maple in my backyard, and I love how bright the leaves get in the fall. They're always red, but they get bright red around this time. #trees #fall #autumn

These fools have the resources to produce something on par with Studio Ghibli animation. Instead, they use generative AI that's as creatively bankrupt as a Funko Pop. Sit and spin, Coke. 🖕

Oh man. I'm a Seattle Mariners fan. My heart is still bruised from the ALCS loss. But DAMN man. I can only imagine how much this loss is gonna hurt for Blue Jay fans. I don't wish that on any fan. Good luck next season. Maybe we'll get a rematch in the ALCS.

Make happy little mistakes! Just don’t give up learning! Your art is important! #antiAI

I did not know Castlevania 4 has a version of Bloody Tears waiting for me! Context: I always play some Castlevania around Halloween, and this is the farthest I've ever gone in Castlevania 4. This version is amazing! youtu.be/QOWUSsFar-s?...

It sucks we lost, but I'm more hopeful for the #Mariners than ever. This loss will set a fire in their belly. This will fester in their minds. And next season, they will be ravenous for the postseason. You made it this far. You've proven your power and skill. Now take it all next year, M's!
