Your art will always be worth it. Never forget that, no matter how small or indifferent you feel towards what you create. It is *always* worth creating.

Okay Legitimately this is a really really good feed

Here's the key to quitting Twitter: Delete the app from your phone and put the Bluesky app in its place. Your muscle memory will keep you coming to Bluesky instead. And when someone sends you a Twitter link, you'll be prompted to log in on browser and you'll be like "eh, too much effort".

Merry Christmas to all, from me and @starlittraveler.bsky.social !

Sometimes I'm amazed by how popular RetroArch is. Like, most people are probably not gonna bother to understand what a core is, let alone configure it. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but I remember when emulators used to be "drag rom to exe, start playing"

Happy Almost Christmas to those who celebrate!

One last Split Fiction stream with @kalamitykaiju , starting soon!

Simply Having A wonderful

I should be going home for the holidays, but I got stuck in the snow 🫠

WE'RE DOIN IT AGAIN TONIGHT

Alt art chocobo Tifa my beloved

Random tip, don't phrase art compliments as "really good for a beginner!" They could have been practicing for years. Being told they're still at beginner level becomes disheartening. I've seen it happen to enough people who just give up art after that.

Today at 7 PM PST: I play Split Fiction for the first time with @kalamitykaiju.bsky.social ! What is a co op game if not one where you intentionally cause problems together? :)

I don't know if I can speak to whether Metroid Prime 4 is a good Metroid game, but so far it's a really good Zelda game

Aaaand I can't use bluesky desktop because it thinks I don't have a birthday. And when I try to add it it says I don't have permission. App still works at least

Metroid Prime 4 is the Halo game we've been missing out on. Stoic genetically modified space super soldier discovers the secrets of the long-lost ancient race on their abandoned world, while the military grunts gas them up and provide humanity/levity to the situation.

At this point I'm buying every game that proudly advertises it doesn't use AI It's about sending a message, Batman

I honestly wanted to do some extra Metroid Prime 4 streams this weekend, but I was too sick 🤒

Metroid Prime 4 runs and looks so good on Switch 1 that if I didn't have a Switch 2, I'd still be totally fine with the og version

Absolutely loving the bosses in Metroid Prime 4 so far. Even if they're not really difficult on normal difficulty (haven't tried hard so can't say otherwise), they still feel visceral enough that I want to do well and kick ass!

When you reach age 30, the full suite of painkillers just appears in your medicine cabinet. What the heck even is a naproxen

I love this feature of "Switch 2 Edition" games and I'm surprised it isn't more advertised and also that more third parties aren't taking advantage of it.

Evil Ness be like: "Not okay."

Meatrod Prime Rib 4: Beyond Burger

With the price of *gestures vaguely at everything computer* going up, I am actually starting to worry about game console prices. We've had price increase yes, but what about second price increase?

One thing for sure, Metroid Prime 4 is gonna be the BEST looking game on Switch 1, possibly Switch 2 for a long time. The art style is fantastical yet detailed, and it runs beautifully.

Twitch Recap Twitch Recap! 🎷🐓 It's been a bit of a weird year since I haven't had as much time to stream BUT it was still amazing! ❤️ So many great games are still on the way!

Holy moly I actually got a #fluxpose early bird kit Now I wait

Merry Thankmas from the Chicken Coop! Just a modest spread this year, keeping it cozy!

Did I miss seeing my bae @starlittraveler.bsky.social in VR? Yes. Am I oh so glad she's back on? Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!

PC game optimization is a mess, companies keep making devs use DLSS/FSR as a crutch to save costs, because they can just assume all the modern hardware supports it. I'm hoping the Steam Machine encourages them to optimize for that target and use it as a selling point.

Reminder that Twitch viewership is very seasonal; just because you see a dip in viewers doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Your viewership will be highest during Summer and Winter, because that's when people are on vacation.

Does anyone else google stuff in the middle of a conversation just to double check my own information, or am I just weird?

As much as I actually like Analogue's consoles, it was always weird there was like, no footage of games running on the Analogue 3D. Were they like, hiding the fact it's just 480p (or lower) upscaled?

Welcome to the Internet, what flavor of outage would you like today? AWS? Azure? Ah, CloudFlare, a fine choice monsieur.

"Look, we know AI is taking people's jobs and plagiarizing their work and destroying the environment and spiraling their mental health, but have you considered: Investors are giving us a loooooooooooot of money?"

This is the way

I watched the gameplay with the new Metroid Prime 4 NPC, and like, he's not even annoying??? From what everyone was saying I was expecting GoW: Ragnarok "nags you and solves the puzzle before you even get there" NPC He just seems like a tutorial dude from other modern games. maybe even less yappy?

I'd love if Steam Frame knocked Meta Quest down a peg, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Steam Frame costs around the $1000 range while the Steam Machine costs around $600. Frame is competing in the Apple Vision Pro and Galaxy XR space, while Steam Machine is more of a PS5/Xbox competitor.

Showing off UE5 games in the trailer running on the Steam Machine is a flex really.

Eye tracking at least, good enough for me! @projectbabble.bsky.social is about to get a ton of orders soon I bet!

2023: Mario movie with classic and DK stuff (old games) 2026: Mario Galaxy movie with Odyssey and Sunshine stuff (3d games) Calling it in 2029: Mario Land movie with Wario/Waluigi and Daisy stuff (handheld and sports games)

STEAM MACHINE REAL. STEAM FRAME REAL.

I'm gonna start reposting this every time a friend comes to me saying they lost a bunch of data and didn't back it up. Not as a passive aggressive thing, but to remind people how often this happens, and it could happen to you next.
