Waiting is the hardest part... #WWE2K26

Loaded & ready. #WWE2K26

Hey all - I sincerely apologize, but I'm canceling tonight's stream. With events that occurred at work this evening, I'm in a very not-good headspace & am going to utilize my time tonight to attempt to just de-stress & focus on myself. HOPEFULLY I'll be back on tomorrow night.

Hope everyone is having a great, relaxing Sunday thus far 🤟 Had a few things come up to delay ops around here, but will be firing up stream at 1pm CST for #FZero99

Needless to say, I wasn't expecting the @elgato FaceCam to pop in the @peeweehermann.bsky.social Playhouse background last night (I'd used it on Discord video over the weekend, but Tues night's stream was regular cam bg), but we ran with it. The secret word of the day is... OPE.

And just like that, the 4th annual #SuperNin10Con on #Twitch is a wrap! From the opening festivities & my segment Fri morning to ending the festival just a few minutes ago, and everything between, this year's lineup & presentations topped all previous years - no question.

At this time tomorrow, #SuperNin10Con #SN10C 2026 will be underway (and it will be my segment on-air)! Wrapping up some OBS layouts specifically for tomorrow, and getting things here in Studio 13 at the Voodoo House ready for a fun weekend.

Find someone who's up for crazy adventures, including nearly 7hrs round-trip for reservations for a Valentine's Day candlelit dinner at @whitecastle1921.bsky.social 💕 Thanks to the Columbia MO WC crew for their hospitality, including the 2 hostesses we grabbed a selfie with on the way out.

Ironically, on this stream I did NOT know what I was doing 😂 What The Dub? on Switch ended up being totally borked. MAJOR thanks to my dude @troytakesphotos.bsky.social for coming through in the clutch w/troubleshooting & a WTD Steam code. We were smooth sailing after that. Gratitude > Frustration

THREE YEARS of convincing viewers that I know what I'm doing! 🤣 Ready to catch the #RoyalRumble in a little while, and then later this evening it's party stream time. Pull up a chair, kick off your shoes & relax your socks. We'll be playing What The Dub? with the community!

Beyond excited & humbled to be back and on the lineup for another SUPER NIN10CON 💜 Three days of love for any/all things Nintendo, hosted by a number of outstanding streamers/content creators. Plenty of details to come between now and Feb 20th!

Going live RIGHT MEOW! F-Zero 99 to start. Marbles on Stream at 2pm ET. twitch.tv/thevividjb

Given the name of my online gaming/streaming community, as well as my roots around New Orleans over 30+ years, I really don't have any choice but to deem @monsterenergy.bsky.social Voodoo Grape as THE *unofficial* energy drink of Vivid's Voodoo House. Hit me up, Monster? 👉👈

Lots of goodies ready to snack on. Shoutout to BWW and Torchy's Tacos for the b-day freebies 🔥 Live on Twitch at the top of the hour (2pm CST) starting with @PixelbyPixelStu #MarblesOnStream & we'll see where we go from there! twitch.tv/thevividjb

A random favorite thing of mine is utilizing the live weather map feature on @msfsofficial.bsky.social when the northern lights are active (as they are right now) #MSFS #MSFS2024 #NorthernLights #Aurora #AuroraBorealis

Got some fun happenings later this month! 1) Level-up (birthday) stream (gaming TBA) this Thurs! 2) Katnip Corner Shindig co-op raid train event (Marbles On Stream) 1/25 3) Twitch affiliate 3rd anniversary (community gaming TBA) 1/31 Mark your calendars and come hang out!

It's Mardi Gras season, and we're coming in hot with some festive freshness! The Mardi Gras variant collection is live in the shop right now, available until February 23rd - and as always, subscribers on Twitch get that 13% discount - thevividjb-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/...

Let's #FlashbackFriday with these gems from 1998 🤣 There's a lot to unpack (the NASCAR, the SNES set up under the TV w/NBA Jam ready, my old Compaq Presario 4704 complete w/old-ass monitor & detachable speakers). This was my setup as a chat moderator for MSN from 1997-1999.

No stream tonight - we'll be back on Sunday with some fun upcoming things to talk about!

Had a blast last night with the Monday Night Marbles on #MarblesOnStream, we tapped into the very first @monsterenergy.bsky.social Juiced Voodoo Grape (officially available nationwide early next month), and got a rad raid from birthday boy @retroraji.com !

If there was ever a drink made to be enjoyed within the walls of the Voodoo House, this is clearly it. See you on-stream at the top of the hour as we kick off #MarblesOnStream with that big @monsterenergy.bsky.social twitch.tv/thevividjb

Tell them you haven't been on your Xbox in a while without telling them you haven't been on your Xbox in a while.

Working on some late -night upgrades inside Studio 13. Pay no mind to the current mess of cables. This ensures that on a stream like tomorrow's, I can switch between games on two different sources without having to change out cables going between the two.

2025 has been a year of notable growth and a lot of really amazing experiences that forged countless memories. Along with Paisley & Mootilda (behind me), I wish each and every one of you a safe & happy new year, and let's make more memories in 2026! 🪩🥳

Got a hot tip earlier in the week about a semi-local spot where I could restock some of my Faygo flavors in can form. Also stopped by one of my regular bottle spots & saw they've added Bubble Pop and Jolly Green Apple to their stock, so now those two are added to MY #FaygoFridge stock.

My Christmas present - courtesy of each & every single one of you who have subbed/donated/cheered bits (as well as the little bits from ads adding up) - was finally adding a Switch 2 to Studio 13. Merry Christmas to you all, and may you be gifted with fresh gaming!

Had fun earlier today with an unscheduled stream, 1st play of #MarioKartWorld for both myself & my daughter. 💗 Back on Twitch in just a bit to roll our way into Christmas with #MarblesOnStream

This #ChildrensPalace ad from the 1989 Christmas season hits me in the feels. As a kid, circling what you wanted for Christmas from the holiday toy/gaming catalogs & weekly ads was peak childhood. Toy Chest Children's Palace Babbages KB Toys Toys R Us Didn't matter. The thrill was untouchable.

#FirstWorldProblems - shopping online for a new pair of blue-light blocking glasses that are good quality without breaking the bank. Need to replace the pair I had, top part of the frame snapped after 3+ years.

Scratched tonight's scheduled broadcast to let my throat rest a bit more (if you were tuned in on Monday, you heard my raspiness), plus I need to be up earlier than usual tomorrow for a home maintenance appt. Hope you all are well & staying healthy, safe & warm. As for tonight - it's upgrade time.

FYI As much as I love vibing w/everyone, I'm canceling tonight's stream. Didn't finish work until 11:30 last night & am about to head back in for a noon start today. Take care of yourselves, and each other. I'll see you all again soon. 🤟

**NEW MERCH ALERT** The 2025 Holiday Collection is LIVE & available through New Year's Day! Twitch channel subs get a 13% discount on merch *every* day - but YOU can punch in promo code BLACKFRIDAY to save 15% on any qualifying $25+ purchase through 12/1!

New merch coming soon... 👀

*UPDATE* Holiday schedule is in effect at work, which means Sunday variety streams are on hold until after the new year. Bonus Point Saturday Marbles streams to come. Also, *NO* streams next weekend (11/22-11/23). I'll be out of town for an annual charity bowling tournament I've done since 2015. 🫶

Had a blast last night w/the #MarblesOnStream S65 kickoff stream. Pixel By Pixel is cooking up a lot of fun this season, including the Competitive Raids (which literally rolled in as I was raiding out. I've never hit STOP that fast!). Extra love to @powlinaxp.bsky.social for the raid! 💙

#MarblesOnStream season 65 is off and running! Are you hungry? Got off of work at a decent hour, back home now & getting things fired up. I'll be on shortly serving up those tasty snack points. Make sure your live notification alerts are on for when I fire up! twitch.tv/thevividjb

Doing my part to enjoy #NationalSandwichDay while watching the final segment on Day 1 of #MarbleFest 64. Going live at the top of the hour with what energy I still have left after work.

Tomorrow. 2pm EST / 1pm CST on Twitch Prepare yourself. #MortalKombat

A lil' something for my fellow pro wrestling peeps. Out for the evening at an indy show run by James Ellsworth, and the main attraction for tonight's show is Real1, fka WWE's Enzo Amore. #HowYouDoin

Apologies, but going to cancel tonight's stream. I'm still at work & dealing with allergies or whatever, going to eat once I'm home and then go to bed. Should be back on regular schedule for Sunday morning.

Seasonal changes are WRECKING me this week. Went from 80s last week to 60s this week, & overnight lows down in to the 40s. Throat is scratchy, nose clogged up, etc. On top of that, extra hours at work this week because of additional incoming volume. The weekend will be welcomed.

Should I be in bed sleeping after this weekend's events? Yes. Am I still awake and tinkering with the newest merch drop on @fourthwall.com? Yes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TGIF y'all! Maaaaaaybe a special Friday evening bonus-points Marbles stream later this evening? 🤔 It's a rare Friday where I'm off work for the night with nothing on the schedule.

Happy Taco Tuesday! 🌮 A few quickies: - No Wed night stream this week (#AEWDynamite in KC) - No Sun morning variety stream (traveling back to KC from #AEW #WrestleDream in STL Sat night). MAYBE Sun afternoon/evening stream? - New animated emote on Twitch for the subs 🫶

After a rough evening at work & being physically exhausted on the way out, stream tonight was what the doctor ordered. W raids from both @codehimi.bsky.social & @acesfulloverkings.bsky.social ... TWO #Faygo redemptions, and some great races & quality conversation. Thanks to everyone who stopped in!

For a brief moment in time, I was ranked #1 globally in #MarblesonStream with the new season launching earlier this hour. The line for photos and autographs starts to the left. 🤟

Happy to announce I am now part of the Pixel By Pixel Studios (Marbles On Steam) Support-A-Creator program! If you are looking to accessorize your marble's load out & plan on purchasing marble money in the game shop, consider using creator code "thevividjb". New MoS season starts Tues 9/30!

Going live with more #MarblesOnStream tonight right after the conclusion of today's final #MarbleFest segment 🤟 12am ET / 11pm CST !play
