@techconnectify.bsky.social Curious on your thoughts about small electric heaters like this one: a.co/d/8jl3o6J Not the specific heater, but ones in that form factor. We no longer have our oil heater, leaving our 10x10 bathroom unheated until later this year when we’ll remodel and add heated floor.

As I begin my 4th day of using my iPhone for everything, I’m already missing Android so much. I absolutely LOVE the reception and battery life of my 14 Pro Max compared to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. But little things drive me nuts… 1) Notifications 2) Personalization Details in next posts.

I'm getting really pissed off at my Pixel 9 Pro XL's battery life. I've been unplugged for less than 6 hours, and with barely anything more than some Spotify streaming, I'm at 53% battery. Some days, I wonder if I should have left Samsung.

Headed to DC for a short work trip. It was just announced that my Amtrak train is "rescuing" a cancelled train in Philadelphia. 200+ additional passengers boarding at the next stop. Business Class w/ guaranteed seating is always good, but now it's REALLY good!!

Guess I need to find a high quality printer, eh @zuramaru.net?

I'll be live in about 15 minutes for an evening of Zelda randomizers. Starting with Zelda 1 bingo battle royale, followed by some ALTTPR gloom. twitch.tv/pool_float_g

Want to watch someone fumble through a Zelda game, having no idea where they're going? Well you can do that tonight around 6:30 PM EST over at twitch.tv/pool_float_g! I'll be playing Zelda 1 Randomizer with the "Blackout" setting on. All dungeons are dark, and the candle won't illuminate them.

This little guy spent 5 years living at a rescue after being surrendered by his family for being too loud (purring). Several adoption attempts fell through because he was "timid and shy". He's been with us in his forever home since April. His sister even tolerated him (only when we're not looking).

@sery.codes Is there a way to report follow bots that are not getting caught by your most amazing bot?

Tonight's stream will start with some World of Warcraft, as I majorly de-rust from not playing in over a year, and then continue with some Link to the Past randomizer (with @jerrock13.bsky.social). Planning to start around 7:00 PM Eastern. Hope to see you there! twitch.tv/pool_float_g

Morning is definitely the best time to go to the gym around here. Busy but not slammed. Can actually get to all the equipment I want to use.

1 year and ~100 lbs. lighter (only 2 of those are from the beard). Feeling pretty damn good already, but I'm not about to stop now! 5-6 days a week in the gym since May. Sorry for crap image quality. I don't take many pictures of myself, so I had to screengrab from my 4K stream recordings.

Day 2 starts in T-minus 2 hours! Yesterday was full of fun, AMAZING community support, and some tech issues (Shuffler). We'll be finishing the Mega Man shuffler, then moving into some Link to the Past Crosskeys, followed by SMZ3 and maybe Z1/Z3 combo. tinyurl.com/poolfloatg twitch.tv/pool_float_g

T-minus 20 minutes until the fun starts! First up, SM Map Rando, some Z1R, and then a Mega Man Bizhawk Shuffler! twitch.tv/pool_float_g List of incentives: tinyurl.com/poolfloatg

My Twitch Affiliate anniversary weekend begins tomorrow at 11 AM EST! I've activated the 35% discount on gift subs packs, plus there's Bits, SE Pay, and PayPal. Lots of incentives to unlock and make the games more interesting while helping support us. twitch.tv/pool_float_g tinyurl.com/poolfloatg

Another quick reminder that my #Twitch 4-Year Affiliate anniversary is this coming weekend! Plus, the schedule located at tinyurl.com/poolfloatg has been updated with approximate start times, and more incentives added as well. I hope to see lots of people there! Reposts appreciated!!

My 4-year #Twitch #Affiliate #streaming #anniversary is this coming weekend, June 28 & 29! The schedule is available here: tinyurl.com/poolfloatg All games will be played on original hardware (when possible), in beautiful 4K thanks to the awesome RetroTINK 4K and Twitch Enhanced Broadcast.

Live in about 20 minutes with some Zelda 1 / Link to the Past combo randomizer! twitch.tv/pool_float_g

LIVE with my continued journey through the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. Currently on #5. twitch.tv/pool_float_g

This coming weekend is my 4 Year Affiliate anniversary on Twitch. Due to prior obligations this weekend, I am planning 2 long streams on 6/28 and 6/29. Lots of Zelda, Metroid, and Mega Man games, vanilla, randomized, and shuffled. More formal schedule to come next week. twitch.tv/pool_float_g

The Z1R grind is going better than I expected. Still averaging 1:45-2:30 per seed depending on the flags, but I need to remember that I've played maybe 25 seeds. It'll be a long time until I can get 1:00-1:15 like the pros. Combat was by far my weakest part, but it's improved so much in 4 weeks.

LIVE with Zelda 1 Randomizer, in 4K and 1440p! twitch.tv/pool_float_g No pre rolls, in exchange for what I hope are tolerable midroll ads.

Returning to Z1R tonight for some more Master & Apprentice practice. Plan is to run 2 seeds, starting somewhere around 7:00 PM EST. twitch.tv/pool_float_g

As we near completion of my 2nd day "retired" from ALTTPR, I'll be playing the game that started it all, Zelda 1 (but randomized). Practice continues for the Master/Apprentice tournament tonight around 6:30 PM EST. twitch.tv/pool_float_g But first, exercise! #Twitch #Streamer #Nintendo

I'm taking a break from competitive Zelda 3 Randomizer. Why? Because I kinda suck. I'll still be playing casually, but I'm just not at the level required for competitive play. I'll still be playing in the occasional group race, and playing solo/multiworlds with lots of goofy settings.

I have the same combination on my luggage!

🚨Looking for Participants🚨 💜A Link to the Past Randomizer Race 💜Item, enemy, boss, entrance 💜Crowd Control enabled for charity 💜Supports @lupus.org 💜This Friday 5/2 4pm PT I’ve had 2 people drop and would love to fill their spots. DMs open!

Need some good vibes for our kitty cat, Carmen Kittiago (name explained in next post). Took her to the vet after unusual weight loss and throwing up. Diabetes. She's only 5. Mrs. Float lost her job, so we really need this to be not only treatable, but affordably. Money was already extremely tight.

@jerrock13.bsky.social and I are starting in about 90 minutes!!! Come watch us play old games in a new way, and help support an awesome charity!

Starting in about 20 minutes!

*Reposts Appreciated* Randomizer4Nepal 2025 is taking place March 21-23! I'll be showcasing Quad Rando (Zelda 1, Metroid 1, Zelda 3, Metroid 3 combined) Friday evening around 11:30 PM EST** twitch.tv/randomizer4good #Twitch #Charity #CharityStream #Randomizer #Zelda #Metroid

Going live NOW with my first playthrough of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii! Come join me for all kinds of shenanigans on the high seas (and land)! twitch.tv/pool_float_g #Yakuza #LikeADragon #PS5 #1440p #Twitch #EnhancedBroadcast

I've been impatiently waiting for Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza to release. It was delivered Thursday, and now I get to do something new to me: Stream my initial playthrough of a new LAD game!! I'll be live tomorrow, around noon EST, over at twitch.tv/pool_float_g #Yakuza #LikeADragon #Twitch

Don't just tl;dr, read the whole thing. It won't take long.

Tonight is the start of ALTTPR League Season 7 for my team: You Got Poutine on My Cheesesteak, compromised of @jerrock13.bsky.social, @icemanf1.bsky.social, and myself (duh). 6:30PM ET with Iceman_F1 as we tackle Co-Op ADKDB (All Dungeons KeyDrop Boots) over at twitch.tv/pool_float_g

Of all the memes so far, this one is tops.

I can finally get another Super Bowl hat! No idea where my hat from LII went.

Umm... Wow. This same 2.5 dozen eggs cost less than $6 late last year.

Carmen is making it difficult to pack for our trip.

Live in a few minutes with a whole lot of checks in ALTTPR. Settings submitted by Jerrock13 - twitch.tv/pool_float_g

Time to play some Link to the Past randomizer over on Twitch. Followed by Super Metroid Map Rando, if time permits. Come check it out! twitch.tv/pool_float_g

Now for my #TwitchRecap from a streamer perspective. Last month was 5 years since I first clicked Start Streaming in OBS. I've made a lot of great friends on the platform, many of which attended my wedding 2 years ago. My small community is awesome!

The surge in popularity of Super Metroid Map Rando definitely has an impact on my #TwitchRecap this year.

Cold here today. Officially kicked off the grilled cheese + tomato soup season.

What took me so long to check out the Like A Dragon (Yakuza) series? It's so fucking good! Tearing up at the end credits for Yakuza Kiwami. I already know how it "ends" since I've already played and beaten LAD 7 & Infinite Wealth, but still...

Cars, tech, and phones. Add in some video games and you've got my personality as a whole.
