A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.

More Rites! More Quest for Glory 5! More #SavingOften! The Hero of Silmaria waters his hydrangeas so they stay hydrated. They can run, but they can't hydra. Uh, something about hydraulics? I don't know. This week @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I fight a hydra. youtu.be/DEmD6hnfbQk

“Get in, loser, we’re going to hell”

I think I'm going to break from streaming tonight - there's a cold going through our house and it's caught me right in the throat along with that old favorite, painful sneezes 🫠 We'll hopefully wrap up Ratchet & Clank next week!

i often think about this review

Quest for Glory 5 rolls on on #SavingOften! @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I have freed the fishing villages, and now it's onward to the Rite of Conquest! Surely a thief of Adonis's caliber will be stealthy and silent as he invades the island of Sifnos. youtu.be/ldcrIU6p3iU

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

Some King's Quest fanart inspired by the YouTube Channel where I watched it, Such Minutiae (Saving Often) Thank you for such a great playthrough of this series! #art #King'sQuest #SavingOften @suchminutiae.com

if somebody is in the "quiet room" in the library and they are talking on their phone, then it should be legal to throw them off the roof

More Ratchet & Clank in 30 minutes! www.twitch.tv/suchminutiae

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Guile... Guinan... Guilenan

Quest for Glory 5 continues on #SavingOften! Yeah, yeah, science, whatever. This week, @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I wrap up with the eggheads and are finally ready to begin the Rites of Rulership! Surely 5 people are needed to conquer the Rite of Freedom. youtu.be/Ff-Wb_pE3Mg

the fact that I still routinely see this, the least interesting and most tepid take, is proof that there is no wisdom in crowds

Imagine being so deeply disliked, a wretch on such a fundamental level, that everybody cheers when you’re sad

I got my key for Gobliins 6 this morning! So excited to see these goofballs again.

Having some technical difficulties… Hope to start by the top of the hour!

Alright, let's do something completely different. Tonight we're gonna play RATCHET & CLANK for the PS2! Starting in roughly 30 minutes, come hang! twitch.tv/suchminutiae

it's time to play METAL GEAR SOLID on @prozdplaysgames.bsky.social, i've never played through this game before AND i'm atrocious at stealth games, should be a WALK IN THE PARK www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqQm...

Thanks to YouTube's excellent and poignant AI-generated response recommendations, I never actually have to think about what I'll say ever again @captainq.bsky.social

Tom Morello live in Minneapolis

This week's episode of Quest for Glory 5 on #SavingOften is all about SCIENCE! @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I go to Science Island, talk to a couple of turbo nerds, and finally get to engage in a pizza puzzle. youtu.be/b6MrO-cc3SU

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

I've nearly 100%'d Nine Sols. There are two more achievements that I need, both of which will require a new game. I only ever go for 100% if the game is really special, and this one was special.

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

I was so amped after finishing Nine Sols last night that I booted up the boss rush mode and beat it three more times. Let's-play-itis is real - I made a couple adjustments almost immediately that made my counters way smoother. Thanks to all that joined! We'll start something new on Sunday!

Nine Sols, man. NINE SOLS. What an incredible game.

Let's end this! Nine Sols conclusion (hopefully) in about 30 minutes. See you there... twitch.tv/suchminutiae

Hey, if you need a reason to not support any upcoming Earthworm Jim stuff.....you can go on X, The Torment App and see the creator Doug TenNapel talk about how great AI is and quote tweeting everyone who disagrees. I wouldn't suggest it though.

once again, I ask where all the "good guys with guns" are who were supposed to be protected by the second amendment so they could stop the government from killing citizens

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

God it fills my heart up to read stuff like this

Quest for Glory and #SavingOften roll on! Somewhere in Silmaria, there is a basket. @sousourocket.bsky.social, @mewd.bsky.social and I will kill however many people it takes to recover it. youtu.be/Q-OCS5mJSAQ

Jensen Huang of Nvidia, $NVDA, has said relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has done a lot of damage, per Techspot.

this was a great moment in modern American history, it instantly stopped this man from becoming a more consequential figure

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike! Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

Nine Sols marches on tonight! Aiminig for 6:30pm but may be a little late. Subscribe to get notifications or whatever, is that how it works, I don't even know, anyway, BE THERE www.twitch.tv/suchminutiae

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

Finally working on getting my twitch VODs up on YouTube after promising it for months, and it's frankly embarrassing how many technical gaffes and snafus my streams have suffered over the first year. Maybe I'll get my shit together in 2026 (said every year)

Every time I hear "I'm old, it's too hard to adjust" I think about this man in his 70s seeing transphobia take hold of the country and saying directly, with conviction, from the highest soapbox he could find, "fix your hearts or die."
