Today we're taking a break from community shenanigans to do something a bit more low-key and peaceful out in the Finnish country-side. GIF kiiiinda relevant. Live now at twitch.tv/ballistictoaster !

Can you believe it's been- *checks watch* oh christ since before Season 1 since I've played this game? Well neither can I but I've been feeling like coming back to this game for a while and today we're gonna do just that with the community! Live now at twitch.tv/ballistictoaster !

Feels great to say this after so long, but thanks for tuning in! Today was a shorter stream than usual & while there's a lot to fix with commands, redeems and alerts, it was a pretty fun chatting stream all the same! To end stream we raided out to @goobergutz.bsky.social playing Silksong.

After six months, several (ongoing) revisions to stream, and freelance gigs, the time has FINALLY come to return to Twitch! Tune in to twitch.tv/BallisticToa... to stop by, catch up, and say hi!

It's been six months, but Daddy's finally coming home & he's bringing home plenty of bread. Tune in September 14th, 2025 (Tomorrow!) at 1PM EST/11AM PST as we catch up & do something *super* unexpected, all while slowly remembering how to stream & praying that things don't break!

Good things come to those who stay toasty.

This guide uses the "True Peak" format on OBS. I've found it to be more reliable than Sample peak for monitoring. Can change it in settings here: Feel free to ask me any questions! I've done a lot of work on the audio side of my stream to make it a pleasant experience.

My cheat sheet for OBS/Stream audio levels I know a lot of folk struggle with levels, so use this as a base to work off of! Labeled lines at the edges of zones is the max that sound source should be if you want a "standard" audio balance for a stream.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

[🔴LIVE] Remember that time last week when I tried to stream and things just flat out didn't work? Well, let's try that again and try out another game about going fast, because t'is the Ramadan season to go fast I guess? See you at twitch.tv/ballistictoa... !

[🎬STREAM FINISHED] Thanks for tuning in! We certainly did become the crabbiest streamer on Twitch, though unfortunately that was due to rampant technical issues. Look forward to a do-over stream sometime this week after I do some stream IT. We raided out to @lief473.bsky.social to end stream!

[🔴LIVE] Tonight, one toaster will cast aside his humble bread-heating ways to embrace the peak of evolution. The alpha. The omega. The apex predator of all life on Earth: C R A B. Tune in to see the crumbiest streamer on Twitch become the crabbiest one! twitch.tv/ballistictoa...

[🔴LIVE] It's been a while but we're back & streaming on Haram hours! Tonight (well on my time zone anyway) we're gonna play some cards, get screwed by The Needle, & catch up a bit! Feel free to stop by twitch.tv/ballistictoa... to loaf around and watch me get tilted at a bunch of cards.

Whatever it takes, wherever we go, our swords belong to you, not a single step is taken in vain. "Daydreams" is an album that paints your grey skies with unimaginable brilliance... March 10, 2025. 12pm PST Pre-save below! ⬇⬇⬇

Announcing I'll be participating in this years Uplifting Women Unite raid train! Celebrating women within the creative, gaming, and STEM spaces. I'll be doing a "Code and Coffee", where I work on something and share my own experiences. My time slot will be 3/3/25 @ 9am EST! #AccelerateAction

the buried lede here is that they made tools to do recompilations of Xbox 360 games for this similar to the N64 recompiler, seems this opens the door for other PC ports of Xbox 360 games too

Doing a guide for the Discord mess- (As I did on Tumblr!) Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like the image below. Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

[🔴LIVE] It's been a while since I went live, so why don't we shoot the breeze, stack some bricks, play some cards, or anything else? Tbh I'm kinda winging it this time. Live now at twitch.tv/ballistictoaster

NO STREAM TONIGHT. Myself and the team I've been working with for the last few months are getting a lot of final preparations done for a project launch event that's going to be happening tomorrow evening. Will try to make up for it with a longer stream on Sunday.

Today, we're taking a break from playing games to talk about whatever comes to mind! From incoming channel updates, to impressions on games I've played, what I've been up to, what chat's been up to, & maybe touring through one REALLY messed up house! ▶️ttv/BallisticToaster

I installed the game for real, definitely need to check my Steam library to make sure what's installed and what isn't. Anyway i'm live again!

[🔴LIVE] After a week of housekeeping & returning to freelance work for 2025, things have been a little crazy on my end so why don't we just blob out and powerwash a bunch of random stuff and yap about whatever comes to mind? Live now at the link below! twitch.tv/ballistictoa...

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, an incredible NYE, and an amazing year ahead. We're live now with 2025's first stream as we chat about the year past, the state of the channel, and where BallisticToaster is headed next. twitch.tv/ballistictoa...

[🔴LIVE] Not really feeling like Lies of P tonight, so why don't we chill and play some Tetris instead? Gonna be a bit of a low-key, shorter stream as we chat, clear blocks, and unwind for a bit. Live now at the link below! twitch.tv/ballistictoa...

[📰Update] I'm going to be delaying Lies of P's stream to Tuesday December 17th. I'm not sure if I'll stream tonight & if I do, it will likely be a bit later than 7PM EST and may involve a completely different game. Watch this space for any changes.

[🎬Stream Finished] Thanks for tuning in! We talked a lot about Silent Hill 2, from my thoughts on the game to its story & characters & finished the Born from a Wish scenario! Pretty chill stream, but had a fun time all the same. To end stream we raided out to @lunalore27.bsky.social
