it's interesting how i didn't even notice the glaring inaccuracies in NESticle's sound emulation at first because i was so blown away by the mere concept of playing SMB2 on a damn PC

i wish this would happen to me

ONE-STAR HEROES: playing bad games all day to pay my bills! (part 2) twitch.tv/rachelretro

hey!! part 2 will be starting soon, but first, i gotta get lunch and also call someone back about a job interview??

rent is going up next January, amongst other things lmao. i had a feeling this was coming

Today I'm releasing an early prototype of Nintendo's "Joy Mech Fight" (FC), from over a year before its release! This build, then named "Battle Battle League" (FDS), was created for the 1992 Nintendo-Dentsu Game Seminar. Links are below! hiddenpalace.org/Battle_Battl...

it is after 3 am and the people upstairs are active, stomping around, dropping shit on the floor. i can hear it through my headphones. i cannot take this anymore

ONE-STAR HEROES: playing bad games all day to pay my bills! twitch.tv/rachelretro

oogh... i am more or less awake. gonna get some lunch and caffeine and then do this thing

the sounds of bit-crushed laughter and multi-segmented mechs gyrating in the distance can only mean one thing: the return of ONE-STAR HEROES, the show in which i play bad games all day to pay my bills! Sunday, Sept. 27 and Wednesday, Oct. 1, starting when i'm awake and ending when i'm all gamed out!

cool cool i just can't watch YouTube embeds in Discord anymore i guess. good and functional website not run by idiots and assholes

oogh, i think today's gonna be a nothingburger. the booster got me all sleepy

we got our boosters today, and it was about as painless a process as it could possibly be. the PNW isn't perfect, but it is real nice that we are actively taking steps to isolate ourselves from some of this administration's most infuriating decisions

500 Coin Special: Raffles For Tired People twitch.tv/rachelretro

barring any disasters, today is a 500 Coin Special raffle day... but i am starving and need to get some lunch with the roommate. please forgive me if i start late 🙏

dude the cylinder on this chair is giving up the ghost. it just randomly starts lowering while i'm sitting here doing nothing i think i'm overdue for a new chair in general

Spiro no Lactone (Studio Ghibli, 1989)

THE HOLY GRAIL

whoops, look like i got a VOD mute for... whatever the fuck this is? (it's the Mega Man 8 item shop music) more like you are a babadoodoo person

BOSS PANEL: 1000 Coin Special twitch.tv/rachelretro

hi folks. thinkin' today is raffle day. probably not the double-raffle megastream i originally planned, but we'll see how things go

something i used to enjoy doing when i was younger was recording MIDIs with different soundfonts and then mashing the results together with some added reverb to get a real big wall of sound. here's symphony.mid, a sample file that probably came with my AWE32, with three different soundfonts

pray for me

Tree Top Tech Demo got second place in SMWC's SMB2 Level Design Contest! the winning level, KeyKey's Powerful Delivery Service, was hands-down the one i had the most fun with, so i'm perfectly content with this :) SMWC is currently down, so here's the spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

i'm over here! watch someone that doesn't play fighting games play a fighting game! be nice to me!!

if you've ever watched one of my streams and thought something was amiss with the audio, it's not just you! apparently my stereo channels have been swapped for God knows how long thanks to a miswired Logitech RCA to headphone adapter

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

what if we just had a nice chill stream, as a treat twitch.tv/rachelretro

if i'm being 100% honest, i don't think i can go live at my usual time today. i am a fatigue elemental and i just want to lie in the grass and absorb sunlight for a few hours

made some updates to this thing i never use. my stream scripting makes angels cry

not a single fucking moment of peace here. the water's been shut off for like the 5th time this month, a new dog park is being installed right outside our bedrooms, and we've gotten a 48 hour notice of entry to test the fire systems

kinda feeling the urge to redesign/re-style OC Rachel just a little bit, but have no idea what i'd even do with her wehhh

BOSS PANEL: Predator (and maybe other Pack-In-Video delights) twitch.tv/rachelretro

some cranky asshole tried to shame me for my opinions on current events, but it was immediately followed up by the most delicious and picture-perfect Panda Express i've ever had in my life, so i'm gonna take that as a sign that i'm doin' just fine

i remain the undefeated queen of dumbass solutions to dumbass problems if you remember my adventures with OBS hard-locking my machine, i believe it was a race condition caused by having a docked SAMMI Panel that loads when OBS starts. so i just made a placeholder page with a link to the panel lmao

learning how to fight with dot_lvl! twitch.tv/rachelretro

i need to live my life in a way so that when i die, the majority of people who know of me will be sad, or at least not actively celebrating and posting zingers about it.

hey!! i'm starting late today, but i have a good excuse this time, i swear see y'all soon...

People will say "check this out" and bring out something weird like this

heyyyyy i think i'm having a bad time

i would pay good money for an extension that moves the cursor to the chat box every time i open/switch to a Twitch tab

i keep telling myself i need to do more casual streams at odd hours and every time i do one i end up proving myself right

super-casual SotN randomizer to calm the nerves twitch.tv/rachelretro

feeling down, might stream an intensely casual SotN randomizer or something

when u look 2 the night sky and u hear a mischievous laugh, that is gurploid rachel, shining down upon u and blessing u,

for toushun :>

hello! just a friendly reminder that there will be no (planned) stream today! have a happy Sunday :3

No kidding, this is absolutely what it's like.

cripes. i was considering paying five bucks for Deck Hopper, currently the only actively maintained SAMMI deck app for Windows, until i learned that the author left the SAMMI project because they implemented a "no AI" policy

"Here Comes a New Challenger!!" Squared up today to play Street Fighter II with my friends, and all of our portrait art was done by Brace and they're all incredible!! #Gammaesthetic 🎨: @brace4haste.bsky.social
