People that have never smelled crack cocaine love the word “trap”.

90s voice: we were right all along!

Shadow of the Colossus (2005)

Aight...time to jump back into FF8 for the first time since before I had facial hair. Come kick it on Twitch or YouTube (live once gameplay starts). Twitch - twitch.tv/BacklogRobYT YouTube (16:9) - youtube.com/live/hkvrTAN... YouTube (Vertical) - youtube.com/live/W_p6wIk...

'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' was released on the Nintendo Switch 7 years ago today across the world.

Another excellent video about AI and the broader problems beyond just "it sounds bad lol." youtu.be/tl4mAIBA8jc

Every time I see Tommy Tallarico online, I end up saying, “his mother’s very proud”. Never fails. Every single time.

'Yakuza 2' was released on the PlayStation 2 19 years ago today in Japan.

Holiday cheer with a side of rock ’n’ roll. (via ​​Nana 25th Anniversary Edition, Vol. 2)

Tomorrow, I’m waking up, eating food, watching football, then jumping into FF8 for the first time since I started it as a kid.

Ty definitely wasn't trying to perform, man lol. Mans said "I'mma just do these ad-libs"

Scanline visions of Mega Tokyo 2032. ⚡

The Streamer Awards always reminds me that I have more work to do. Not in a competitive way, but a motivational way. Like "aye man, get up and do work, folks are changing their whole lives and you could too".

I think I'm going to start Final Fantasy VIII this weekend. It's not a game that I've never played, but it's a game I never finished back in the day and I think it's time for me to resolve that with the holiday season starting.

Shoutout to DuckStation, man. A real one.

The tough part about picking a retro game to play/stream is that there's SO many games. Like...so damn many.

Drew Gooden making that (quite good) video about wealth inequality and the economy is such a proof positive of the value of normal guys people like saying good things, as opposed to career ideologue type guys

Have a good weekend, friends! When you need a break from the bad news cycle, spend some time with #jokesters

i take back what i said about social media it's a great vehicle to bully rich ppl online

For fuck’s sake, ignore the “I asked chat GPT to make this woman hotter” guys, they literally get off on the attention. Never seen a more pathetic group of self-victimization simps in my life. Starve them of air!

The jewel of all jewels right here.

Seeing all the new Game Informer issues in photos at stores, but waiting for mine to hit my mailbox

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

Todd Howard invited Obsidian devs to the 'Fallout' S2 set so they could see New Vegas in person ☢️ "Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian ... they just did an incredible job on [that game]" (via pcgamer)

I almost bought ARC Raiders tonight, but after doing more research, I decided it ain’t for me. I ain’t really tryna drop $40 to have randoms rob me multiple times in-game. I’m cool on that. I’ll watch and cheer y’all on, though, I support y’all doing it lol

Yes, I believe in fighting the real fight. But yes, I also believe in finding ways to enjoy this life shit, because I’ll be damned if I’mma exist solely to struggle, fight, and die and that’s it. Nah, man.

World✨

I'm halfway to my partner watch hours on YouTube - screw it, let's keep the streams going over there then.

One of the homies was on his stream and went out of his way to say just how dope he thought my review of Dispatch was, and man...I needed to hear that. I felt like it got looked over after I posted it, but I really appreciated that.

Mean Machines SEGA #45, July '96 - 'Sonic X-Treme' Cover.

Heard folks are breaking people's Meta glasses for filming them on the train or out in public against their will.

I will forever hate the fact that I never got a DJ Premier beat.

How To Make It In America is now on Netflix. Netflix also just bought Warner Bros. Netflix, revive How To Make It In America, Love Life, and Rap Shit, then do nothing else. Let everything else just thrive and succeed, man. And let movies keep coming out in movie theatres.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

RIP to the legendary Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ➡️ deadline.com/2025/12/cary... He'll always be Shang-Tsung to me and killed every role he was in

Actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, known for his roles as Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat (1995), Nobusuke Tagomi in The Man in the High Castle, and Chang in The Last Emperor (1987), has passed away at 75.

Stole his whole flow 😭

Having folks hit me up and say I'm in their top 4 or 5 on their YouTube and Twitch recaps has been cool. I often feel pretty insignificant as a creator because I stand off to the side on my own in this space (intentionally), but having folks just enjoy the content means a lot.

I actually got to sleep early last night and for the first time in forever, I'm not sleepy at noon. Dark magic, this is.

I said I wasn’t gonna neglect Twitch, but if that punk-ass platform keeps forcing my streams to be encoded at 720p max when I have more than enough GPU and internet for 1080p and even 1440p, I promise I’ll keep treating them like the missing daughter on “Family Matters”.

Haven't streamed all week because I've been unsuccessfully trying to get to sleep early every night. I ain't had the energy to go live. Tonight, I'm forcing it. 10 pm, I'm in bed.

NGLs, honestly boxes, and whatever the next iteration may be have never really been it for me. If you want to fuck or fight, you gonna have to say it to me like you grown.
