I am beginning to think orange man bad

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Good morning. Immigration is good. Trade is good. There are nuances but they are narrow enough that free and open movement of people and goods should be the default.

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Guess who got this PB 2 hours too late for league after not PBing in 70 all month long...

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

I’ve been working for months on a project with @iampona called "Blindfolded Arena" , an innovative, blindfolded SM64 game show! We’re searching for people to test and play it live on my stream this Wednesday. Link for the sign-up and setup below! More announcements on the day!

I have a couple more slots open if anyone's interested C:<

here’s the roster for anyone who was curious!! 18 pairs, which means this year I’m doing double elimination 👀 Please reach out to me if you’re interested in commentating a match!! (If you haven’t already sent me a form)

Y'all @mcartiie.sm64.live is an amazing artist check this out 😍

It all comes down to this. The GRAND FINALS of the 2025 Summer 70 Spectacular is THIS SATURDAY at 5PM EDT! Join myself and co-commentator GTM as we crown your champion!

spent a while trying to get livesplit working on linux with wine with no real success. then I added it to steam as a non-steam game and launched it with proton and now it works flawlessly OMEGALUL

I’m pleased to announce coaches and noobs season 2!! SM64 16 star, single elimin matches. Runners have 4 weeks to learn with their coach before races. Runners should have little or no experience speedrunning. Sign-ups will be open until 11:59pm PDT Saturday, August 16th forms.gle/EwQVW9RcrNNX...

If you want to follow along with the SM64 Summer League, I just launched the new version of my pacepal tool which shows all the teams, captains, and who's streaming! bit.ly/pacepal2 Check it out and let me know what you think 😎 (And shoutout to @happydude124.bsky.social and the Homie Squad 🫡)

These people can only conceive of win-lose situations, and so they forgo win-win arrangements in favor of lose-lose arrangements

Announcing the BEEVE-A-THON! Happening in about 2 weeks with incentives. I wouldn't do this normally but while in between jobs, this would really help me out. And this will probably be one of the only times I do this. Hope to see y'all there!

As much as I would like to meme about the BLS commissioner getting canned, it does feel like small potatoes next to what’s happening to our immigrant/trans/Palestinian/activist/whatever neighbors, so before I meme about it (which I will) just let it be clear that I see all of you and I feel for you.

We are more than half way through the bracket in the Summer 70 Spectacular! We have our 2nd Winners' Bracket Semifinals match on Saturday and a triple-header on Sunday! Find out who will be in Top 6 this weekend, starting tomorrow at 7PM EDT!

I ain't sandbagging for league

Oh hey I'm non-binary, neat!

don't tell her?? maybe california can get away quietly

Added my first GDQ badge to the ever-growing collection! Had a great time hanging with all the Mario (and other!) homies, even if only for half a week 😊

the modern GOP is objectively the most radical major party in the world: its signature policy positions, espoused by all of its leaders, would be laughed at in every other country. it's a function of our broken bothsidesing media environment that the GOP is treated like a mainstream political force.

Modern American culture expects/demands immediate results. Good governance, good construction, good science, those things take time, thinking, planning. Wrecking stuff is fast. You can show the results this week. This gives the Break Shit/Burn It All Down Party an advantage. It’s that simple.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The Republican Party is a sadistic fascist terrorist death cult with leaders that are currently smoking cigars celebrating destroying 17 million lives by ripping their healthcare away.

Moving within the next couple of months so trying to get rid of my gargantuan amount of excess N64 controllers and parts that i’ve struggled to let go of for years lol I have a google sheet with all the stuff listed if anyone is interested check it out docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Got myself a $10 hori in japan, we're ready to get to work with this one

i don’t practice trans sharia i aint got no crystal ball

Anyone know a good place to get some pride flag pins? I'd like to toss them on my bags for my upcoming trips

thinking again about this 2018 cover

Today is the last day to submit task runs! I'll review and retime all the submissions this week and then next weekend we'll watch back the top times!

Trying to find a happy medium between not knowing anything that's happening in the world and being pissed off all the time

We've joked about it forever, but I'm finally happy to announce Club 100's Castle Movement task competition! All the tasks revolve around castle movement and spending as little time in stages as possible! Complete rules/ instructions can be found on the Challonge page challonge.com/club100_cast...
