13 years~ 💜💙 @rannchan.bsky.social

He has arrived 🤩

Evercade started out life as a handheld retro gaming console in 2020, and since then we've evolved a lot.

On the way home from MomoCon, but just the thought that Bubsy 4D is waiting for me at home… hell yeah.

I’m SO hoping that @20xxpo.com hits their goal cause, come on… it’s a Mega Man Convention!! Help make it real if you can, there are virtual tickets as well~! 👇

On my way back from working MomoCon. It’s my third time there for work; I love the job, but I’d love to be able to actually experience the con and see friends more. We were so busy that I couldn’t even go to the vendor hall. And I feel my channel isn’t near where they’d have me as a guest.

Alright Gunvolt faithful, you won't wanna miss this! I'm doing a playthrough of Gunvolt 1 on the 20XXpo stream! Right now! 😁 Be sure to tune in and support the event if you can! Even just spreading the word helps~! www.twitch.tv/20xxpo

My favorite shot of the mini try on haul at Hot Topic on my birthday. I do make this look good~

So for those who’ve been watching my streams for a long time, y’all know I normally stream in the evenings, typically 4 PM or later-ish (when on time). How would you feel if I switched to late mornings/early afternoon times after I return from break? Could you tune in more or less than before?

Well I think I may have thought up a few ways to jazz up my short form videos a bit while still keeping the Sanic fans happy. I’ll start whipping things up after I’m back from MomoCon. Feeling a bit better from earlier, thanks yall~

About halfway through my stream break and how do I feel? … honestly, not super rested. Especially w/ me working MomoCon. (Which I am excited for, fr) I feel Seraphina passing threw everything off, but I guess I can’t really break ever it seems as my brain won’t let me. But it did get me thinking…

Yall, go see Mortal Kombat II. Seriously could be my second favorite video game movie ever (behind Sonic 3, of course). The story, the fight scenes, the faithfulness, and Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage? *chef’s kiss*

I wanna go to Okashi again. 😞

Fellow long-time creators, hear this: you'll have members of your community who are regulars for years, perhaps feel like family, who suddenly leave. Remember, unless they make it personal, don't take it personal. It can hurt hard, but tastes change. Availabilities change. But keep going forward.

"The west doesn't know how to make good Visual Novels" Oh yeah?

Guys, can yall stop using AI for your going live messages, announcements and thumbnails please. I’m trying to blind eye as much as I can for good ppl but surely yall know why it’s a problem by now. Canva is super easy, trust me

Well if I am winding down on playing Sonic Rumble, at least my last Red Star Ring purchase fits me perfectly. 😂

Life is too short to hate watch guys

Doing testing work today for some upcoming retro carts that I’m so excited for!!!

Thought my birthday was great, ngl this first weekend was pretty rough. I’m still trying to settle back in to other things outside streaming but heavy thoughts festered in the last few days. I think I feel like I have to walk on eggshells with too many things in my life and it’s very tiring.

As I’m slowly coming back online from my break, I noticed a very important discussion appear that had me thinking… are one-on-one interviews dead now on YouTube? Some say they are, with exceptions of long podcast-style chats and TikTok clip-form taking over (of course 🙄). What do you think? (Cont)

My nearly eight hour “multi-part” video about Digital Pictures, a leading force of FMV games in the 1990’s, premieres live in about a half hour. Featuring mountains of unreleased footage, interviews, internal documents, and canceled games. youtu.be/QM-I1G_UEr0?...

Thank you all SO much for the birthday love, fam!! If I’m up to it, I’m planning to do a chill birthday stream tomorrow on Twitch if you’d like to hang out~ Maybe we’ll play some Genesis shmups or something ☺️

A year older but still turning back the clock~ 💜🖤

Okashi was fun! Sad that they are closing though, I’m gonna try to make it out there at least one more time before they close up shop. Best of luck to them; wish I could have gotten out there sooner.

Pre-birthday shenanigans~ @rannchan.bsky.social

The things you find in your garage that you forgot you had 🤩

Also celebrating a birthday today: Einhänder. I can't stress enough: Experience Einhänder any way you can. Emulate/FPGA it. Watch a longplay or someone's stream of it. Square's venture into PS1 shmups/STG is *magnificent*.

In local gaming news, this is really sad… I met the co-owners of Okashi at Animeverse Fest and they were really sweet. Been meaning to go there but it’s so far from me. Guess I need to go now. Maybe for my birthday…

One of the most important moments I had early in my career is when I asked an actor(ess) I respected about how important social media was, & they replied: “Who f***ing cares? You know why the colleagues I know aren’t posting on socials? Because they’re busy WORKING. Acting will always matter most.”

Man, Miku brings everybody together. Even those who hate Mondays. 😂

I get asked for these all the time so here they are for your edification. 11 hours of Sega Genesis music mix, and my popular "Good Ending" playlist. From real hardware knightmare.dedyn.io/sega-genesis...

Feels good to actually finish a Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Festival! Only took me having to take an online break 😂 (Seriously, that was so fun)

If you see this, post a concert photo you took TJ Davis @ Sonic Expo ‘24 Yes, I freaking cried when she sang “Diamond in the Sky” 🥹

Less than 42 days before I don’t drive anywhere for a month

Quick Update: I've decided to extend my online disconnecting break to 5/7. I didn't get much rest this week between Seraphina passing away and other IRL things not letting me chill so I think that's best. I'm planning to do a birthday chill stream on Friday. Thanks yall~

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only— The Simpsons Futurama Seinfeld (MTV's) Downtown Buffy the Vampire Slayer Arrested Development Daria Rocko's Modern Life Beavis & Butt-head Batman: The Animated Series (Sorry I really can't get to 15, yall keep going 😅)

Man... I just realized this is the last week before I have to choose the next age range when completing surveys 😆
