Tonight, Adol and Dogi head in to a level that is definitely completely distinct from a sewer watch.cney.stream

Slept a whole lot better last night, but head and stomach have been taking turns being angry at me so probably going to skip shmups tonight. Might take the opportunity to run errands and/or work on some code. Hope I can feel back to normal tomorrow for Adol and Dogi's Not-A-Sewer Adventure

I also see this in the other direction: Anthropic is apparently so desperate for more computing power that, despite alleging all along that they are the "good" AI company, they decided to partner with the one blatantly owned by a fascist who keeps trying to "reprogram" it to be more fascist

A combination of multiple neighbors and my own body have decided I don't get to sleep more than 3 hours, which probably means no stream tonight

Me last night during stream: "whoa, discord didn't go into streamer mode for some reason. I guess I'll go into DND mode and forget to unset it, that's what I usually do" Me tonight cutting last night's VOD: <finally unsets DND mode after reaching that point in the VOD>

Oh cool, there are _even more_ reasons for me to never support this game, aside from SHIFT UP treating PC players like criminals by adding Denuvo

It's time for Adol and Dogi to visit another temple in Ys Seven, and I'm sure this one is fine watch.cney.stream

Unity really going for the niche achievement of multiple trust thermocline breaches

Finished The Troopers' Playground yesterday but still have the bonus map to check out, then moving on to Revolution! (additionally using the MIDI Pack) watch.cney.stream

In Selaco, if you try to enter 0451 in any keypad it shocks you, and if you do it enough times you get an in-game email *from the dev team* begging you to stop

I'm picking back up on my Long OverDOOMed series by playing through wads that appear in the official remaster's Featured Mods list (though I'll be playing them through source ports). Today we look at the earliest on the list chronologically, The Troopers' Playground. watch.cney.stream

More Ys Seven. Adol and Dogi must be tired of all these trees, time to wander off into the desert and get lost watch.cney.stream

Off to Shannoa in Ys SEVEN watch.cney.stream

With both the Red Sox and now the Phillies replacing their managers, I'm obvs worried the Mets will do the same... when it's pretty goddamned obvious what the Mets' problem is, and it's higher than the manager.

I had meant to pay Ys SEVEN a revisit last year but didn't get around to it, so I vowed to do so after the 10th anniversary special, having re-refreshed my memory on Ys VI. I've only played this once, about 8.5 years ago. watch.cney.stream

I've completed MeowGun E1-E4, but now there's not just an end map but an entire bonus episode, which I suspect may be absolutely ridiculous... watch.cney.stream

After two weekends of Doom and Quake for the anniversary special, we now return to our regularly-scheduled Also Quake But With Cats, as I still have E4 and the bonus episode of MeowGun left watch.cney.stream

I've been gradually posting the videos from the 10-year anniversary special with the breaks removed, and the playlist is now complete. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... I spent 80 hours streaming across 10 days for this event. I'm unlikely to do that again, but this seemed like the occasion to do it.

The Napishtim-era Ys games are so freaking good

The 10-year stream anniversary is officially over, but as expected, I have unfinished business from Day 7 (Friday), with a Ys VI playthrough to finish. I think I ought to be able to wrap it up tonight... watch.cney.stream

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Today marks the 9th and final day of the 10-year stream anniversary special, and I'm spending it revisiting some notable Quake maps I played in 2021. watch.cney.stream

We've reached the final weekend of the 10-year streaming anniversary special, which features more Quake. Today it's Quake II's turn - the original (using Yamagi), not the remaster. watch.cney.stream

I would advise against playing Ys VI for 9 hours in one day and trying to voice the dialogue aloud the whole way when your pace means that Dogi and Agares arrive at hour 8 ow

Day 7 of the 10-year streaming anniversary special is Ys day. I've turned to Oath in Felghana on prior occasions; this time I'm replaying Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim, the first game on the same engine. watch.cney.stream

Stream coming up as soon as I manage to reconfigure the controls for the game I'm playing today, which is weird since I don't recall this being an issue last year...

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

It's Shmup Book Club night during the week of the 10th anniversary stream special, which means some Blast Wind and maybe some revisits? watch.cney.stream

Nice to see this site functioning long enough for me to let everyone know it's back to the Bloodlines Grind. Practice and attempts for the ever elusive 28:3x. twitch.tv/Klaige

It's shmup day, which means that day 6 of the 10-year stream anniversary special revolves around top-down shooters and shmups. This afternoon I'm focusing on various Jaleco games, and tonight will have a regular installment of the Shmup Book Club. watch.cney.stream

If you've seen me play Next Fest demos, you've probably seen me grimace when I see Open Dyslexic offered as the only alternative font choice. This article provides a decent write-up as to why. pimpmytype.com/dyslexia-fon...

Fuck allllllllllll the way off.

hey fuck Panic and fuck the Playdate, they're allowing AI generated code in their games. what's funny is they forbid other AI generated stuff like art and text (good!), but apparently code is A-OK for people to steal. help.play.date/catalog-deve...

I'm spending day 5 of the 10-Year Anniversary Special reflecting on Super Metroid. I mean that literally. I'm playing two romhacks that flip the game along one axis: Mirrortroid and UpTroidDown. Hoping to at least complete the former this afternoon. watch.cney.stream

Stream coming up as soon as I sort out a new mysterious technical difficulty I've never encountered before, where OBS refuses to see _both_ of my video capture windows at once...

Day 4 of the 10-year streaming anniversary event is Shovel Knight day! Playing Shovel of Hope this afternoon and Specter of Torment later tonight, my two favorite campaigns, both of which I've speedrun years ago, not that I remember any of the tech anymore lol watch.cney.stream

okay but my 10th anniversary streaming special wasn't expected to be a _summer_ vacation, it's freaking mid-April, we've had blizzards within a week of this time of year here

Day 3 of the 10th Anniversary Special features indie games that I consider to be the best I've played in their respective genres. For the afternoon segment, we're revisiting Assault Android Cactus and Celeste. watch.cney.stream

It's day 2 of the 10-Year Streaming Anniversary Special, with a full playthrough of Quake a couple of months ahead of its 30th anniversary. watch.cney.stream

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

Time for part 2 of day 1 of the 10-year stream anniversary event, featuring a sampling of GZDoom/UZDoom-based indie games! Relentless Frontier to start, then Selaco, then Supplice if I've got enough time. watch.cney.stream

The 10-year stream anniversary special begins with The Ultimate Doom! watch.cney.stream (You can find a link to the full event schedule at the top of the page)

the OldUnreal team has decided to add functionality to enable LLMs in UnrealEd, which has killed my trust for these patches ut99.org/viewtopic.ph...

New awareness campaign

Woke up with my throat feeling a little funky today, so I'm going to take it easy tonight to maximize chances of being good to go for the stream anniversary event starting tomorrow.

More Blast Wind for Shmup Book Club watch.cney.stream

A reminder that ALL billionaires are the enemy. 'Good Guy Gabe' is every bit as loathesome as all the others. He's just smart enough to keep off social media and out of the spotlight while he enjoys the 24/7 party lifestyle on his FLEET OF MEGAYACHTS.

I reckon I've probably finalized the schedule for next week's special stream event at this point. Will still likely be doing more preparation tomorrow off-stream.

Back to Hexen: Beyond Hammerwatch. Maybe finishing Shadow Wood? watch.cney.stream

Picking up where I left off in MeowGun, which was...being stymied about a particular secret while finishing E3M3. Wondering if I might have a shot at finishing both E3 and E4 today... watch.cney.stream
