The entire world should, in fact, be condemning the USA for its actions right now. We should be capturing as much flak as possible for what we've done. Just know that Americans themselves, too, are condemning what our administration has done. It's horrific and disgusting and our leader is scum.

Thank you everyone for the support, experiencing that much generosity always blows me away. I'm glad people enjoy the New Year's Shuffler so much, three years in a row now.

Speaking of games I'm playing tomorrow, Vagrant Story is probably the game I singly most want a remake of. It's a game I love with absolutely impeccable vibes and famously the best-looking 3D game on the PS1, but I'll admit that it's also a rather crusty and slow game with unfriendly mechanics.

On New Year's Eve, starting at 8 AM EST and going for at least 17 hours up to 21, I'll be playing through one bad game and one good game, unable to control when I'm doing what. That will be in the hands of the viewer. Make sure to show up for the New Year's Eve Psychic Damage Shuffler at sword.zone!

wow! sunday! just a week away! i am so excited about this news. wahoo!

just spent two hours troubleshooting a hardware issue that was causing my computer to do inputs of [[[]]] randomly & frequently even when my keyboard was disconnected - even with bluetooth disconnected! i was being assigned a homestuck typing quirk by the universe and i could not be having with that

"blowjob brothers" functions as an available english translation that communicates all the information necessary to understand what a "manzai duo" is

it's gonna be refreshing not watching the gamer wars this year. i'm finally sick of it being the geoff keighley self-fellating hour after how much of a piece of shit he's made himself out to be lately. i'll get all my World Premieres and important news afterward or whatever

yearly desperate plea for touhou fangames to remember that the franchise has had many games released since 2009. you may want to use content from them at some point. that'd be pretty cool imo imo at least i guess after like 10 years it's finally moved from 6-11 to 6-12. one more game is common now

He learn.

I can't believe MDCT lost to Scarf.

Have M&B fans always been massive pissbabies or is this new? The sheer amount of "I didn't pay attention at all and don't know how to use the boats and I'm making that your problem" I'm reading in the steam reviews is ridiculous. Yeah man they rebalanced the map to accommodate for boats. Use boats.

I'm going to be live soon, I just got hit with the news that my older brother's dog (a sweet pup named Lola) passed away today. She wasn't my dog, but I spent a lot of time with her and have watched over her a few times, so it's still beating me up a little. Good pups going away is always a tragedy.

as of tomorrow it will have been 7 years since i made partner and thus 7 years since the armored dark souls 2 streams. time is wild y'all

@wanderingnewbie.bsky.social just asked "what about ffxiv" when ankh morpork from discworld was brought up and we ended up coaxing out "akh mornpork" out of him and you all need to know about this

On behalf of the Pit Crew's fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, we ended up raising $11,317.45 in total. I'm floored by the generosity of this community. I don't know what to say apart from thank you! @skybilz.bsky.social @tietuesday.bsky.social @sword.zone @smight.bsky.social

Pizza Tower for Food Banks! twitch.tv/tietuesday Big archipelago randomizer with Pit Crew! @authorblu.es on Super Mario 64 @smight.bsky.social on Link to the Past @skybilz.bsky.social on Super Metroid @sword.zone on SotN

This was a Day 16 victory. Deadly Fort, Obsidian Snowmobile, Shiny Igloo, Radiant Sapphire, and Stopwatch. That igloo had a snowflake used on it, too, so it was freeze 3 items for 2 seconds 3 times. This was probably the funniest run I've ever done and I'm glad it was on stream.

that's it for spookum's week!! i'm die i was live for 75 hours in a single week, not counting stuff i was doing off-stream as preparation too, leading to more like 78 hours of work. this guy just worked two work weeks in one week

Backseat cooking 2025 done. Always a fun stream. We still have plenty more incentives to go; at least 2 that are like, conceivable to hit, if tomorrow goes well! A challenge run of the person who does the last-hit (actually broaches the donation goal amount)'s choice, and the quad damage shuffler.

Spookum's week starts in 11 hours. Check out the schedule here! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Tomorrow (Friday 10/24) we're going to the @sword.zone with doc for some #GhostnolaIndustries #ExtraLife #CardioSoles talk at 6:05am Eastern Turner Time! See you then? Or later? It's YouTube, watch whenever you like, I'm not your supervisor...

hey y'all remember that i have a lot of incentives goin' for spookum's fest starting on saturday!! big marathon start, big marathon end

my property taxes went up twice in one year and have single-handedly made my monthly costs increase by $120 a month fuck me, man

Also: Backseat Cooking ingredients are available, as mentioned! You can check the list of them here and see what's unique about the year. This year's main thing: the Forbidden Sippy Jr., a big mix of liquids that I will then mix with 5 alcoholic spirits and shoot. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Whoops, I posted the schedule and it was wrong. HERE'S the real Spookum's Week 2025 schedule!! It's flanked this year by two marathons instead of just ending with one. This is the best stuff I do all year, so please show up for it, with a ton of fun incentives to do. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I finally had a draw in this game based on two players becoming infinitely resilient and not being able to die to the sandstorm. Also finally had another gold victory in the new patch; I think pig's currently pretty weak in it, unfortunately.

Stream today from me is gonna be hanging out over at Kobuddy's stream! after I'll be playing some shop simulator co-op with @sword.zone (THEY ADDED CO-SHOP) might sneak in a little house of necrosis if we have time!

By the way, during October - starting today - ingredients can now be purchased for Spookum's Week. They're not guaranteed to be used in the Backseat Cooking stream on the 30th, but they do guarantee that I'll have them available to be used during that stream. I'll have a schedule up for it soon.

I got a discord over here. Folks use it. Yell at the moon here. Log onto the sword dot zone right now to yell at the moon. discord.gg/dTUPdsC

It occurs to me that I do not have a Discord access post pinned on Bluesky. I'm gonna go ahead and do that.

I'm still no cheevo boy and don't have any intention of starting RetroAchievements, but I am glad for my friends that use it that they've made what reads to me a pretty ideal decision. Good on you, RA.

Reminded me of one of the best posts of all time

clutch to your heart is a web illustrated novel! its about magical girls, yuri, and a lot of trans characters. wanna support its development? mayhaps throw me a couple bucks through my patreon!! patreon.com/MEidOmachine

oh hey! guess what got a proper logo? thats right its clutch to your heart! when a lowly janitor meets a strange talking bunny plushy they may find that their life finally will have to change... and hopefully for the better. #art #animeart #transartist #clutchtoyourheart

So for like a full half-year I've been looking every so often to see if anyone has uploaded a copy of Web Wise Kids' MISSING onto anything. It's a game that I played in middle school and think it would fit as great spooky edutainment on my channel. If anyone could dump a copy, that'd be great.

HONEY IF IT'S TOO OFFENSIVE FOR THE FORUM HOW IS IT NOT TOO OFFENSIVE FOR THE SITE BREATHTAKING MODERATION ACTIONS GOING ON OVER HERE. FORUM DRAMA LIKE ITS 2013 BABY

going off of the comments on this decision from RA it reads a whole hell of a lot to me like retroachievements has had a secret nazi problem for a while lmao feeling pretty glad i'm not a real cheevo boy right now

Thank you for the generous support, everyone! I'm gonna have to get to work on getting things ready for Spookum's Week in October; which was just generously donated to be bookended by marathons! I'll start setting up that schedule as soon as I can.

In almost 14 hours I'm gonna be live with a marathon - I'll be starting with MGS3, where I have been tasked with Eating Everything. At 4PM EST that will lead into a multiworld randomizer with @tietuesday.bsky.social @skybilz.bsky.social and @wanderingnewbie.bsky.social and then we'll see from there!

Gonna be live in less than an hour with @diabetus.bsky.social doing a multiworld randomizer. I've been on kind of a kick of doing these, they're really fun. I'll be playing Sonic Adventure 2; he's doing Yoshi's Island.

went to my local CVS to get my flu shot and covid booster, and learned while there that i was also short my tdap, tetanus, and hep b shots so i expected to come out of there doublevaxxed; i am, instead, quintuplevaxxed. many viruses are flowing through my body right now. let's hope i don't feel shit

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

@megabonk.bsky.social So like, your game has some strong, fun bones in the design with balance problems that you're probably fully aware of already, but I need to emphasize something that seriously, seriously harms my enjoyment of it and I hope you prioritize this: The game is completely unfunny.

I have now made a spice-crusted pork tenderloin with a fresh batch of fivespice and I've made an interesting observation. The primary difference is how fragrant the cinnamon is. The other spices are close to as powerful as they were in the extremely old batch, which is really neat to me.

a very tangible human skull

I'm going to be playing more Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's got solid bones mechanically and I'm pretty into it so far. sword.zone
