JANKuary a bit later today peeps, but let's warm up with some Sonic Rumble first! Wanna get at least one stream in before the Godzilla event ends. Jump in and play w/ me! #SonicRumblePartner 🟣 twitch.tv/gtothenextle... 🟣 (Also, don't forget to use Creator Code: "GTOTHENEXTLEVEL" if you're buyin')

LMAO they folded after less than a day Absolutely incredible. I HOPE THEY'RE PANICKING If you want to take some time to beat them while they're down, you can submit a feedback request voicing your disdain for genAI here: support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

I've noticed that I get a decent amount of YT views from Bluesky-- awesome! However, it consistently has my lowest average watch time. Just a PSA: don't click your friend's vids and just leave. It does harm to those all important stats that convinces YT to push videos further.

EVERYONE DO THIS SURVEY MAKE DISCORD PANIC AND REGRET AND REVERSE COURSE DROWN THEM IN YOUR HATRED FOR GENAI

The first day of Jankuary has already been 👨‍🍳😘! The fun doesn't stop, here's a peek at Saturday's jam-packed schedule so you can plan your day, or stay tuned to jankuary.com and scroll down the page to see who's streaming at any given time!

So after much finangling in OPL Klonoa 2 LIVES Man, that game requires a LOT of editing to get to work right without freezing and even though there's hiccups every now and then it runs damned near perfectly! This was just a personal goal of mine since I'm not the biggest fan of Phantom Reverie!

Just watched The Bad Guys 2 and maaaaan now I just wanna watch Lupin the Third.

If you haven't heard about Jankuary then check out the blog post I wrote and read last years interview so you are ready for the event! Lots of good people play some really Jank stuff

hi i am celebrating my birthday with a small birthday stream next thursday, january 15. i want to play a game that's modern & new (to me): super mario odyssey. hope to see you there 💗

First and foremost THANK YALL SO MUCH for the donations to Nacho's meds! He's much better now! As a heads up gang! No stream tomorrow! I'm pushing it to Saturday Morning at 11am to put the final touches on this Klonoa Retrospective for a YT, personal piece! It SHOULD still be going out on Tuesday!

If you're playing Sonic Rumble, I need people to join my crew!! Much appreciated if you do 💙 Search for "Next Level Fam" and if you see the Silver the Hedgehog Icon, that's it! (And also use creator code: "gtothenextlevel" in the store if you like~)

Tomorrow is the start of @jankuary.bsky.social ! An amazing event coordinated by @neonarcade.bsky.social and @cobracommanda.bsky.social with some of THE most amazing retro creators on the platform and I'll be KICKING (get it?) off my part on the 13th in Jet Li: Rise to Honor on PS2 at 11am ET!

Introduce yourself with 4 games.

These Might and Magic games are probably the silliest fun I've had on the Playstation 1 but will that continue to the PS2? I guess we'll find out when I play Shifters (of Might and Magic) on Friday at 5pm ET!

Started playing Dirge of Cerberus last night and maaan what a cool game :V but when THIS happened, it caught me COMPLETELY off guard...

Applications are NOW OPEN for SUPER NIN10CON!! Do you LOVE Nintendo? Are you a live streamer? APPLY NOW: forms.gle/whDTLvgezn5s...

The mood I'm taking into 2026

Really is a shame about Crusaders of Might and Magic: While ultimately more simplistic and linear, Warriors of Might and Magic felt like a natural progression of difficulty that kept things tense while also keeping things fun CoMM hits you with a difficulty wall out of NOWHERE and no way to prepare

Alright let's kick it with more Warriors of Might and Magic! Seriously this game is legitimately good fun and I'm REALLY sad to hear it got panned when it came out. Yeah the combat is simple and the plot is nonsensical but sometimes you NEED a game like that! hop in on BOTH Youtube AND Twitch!

Watching @gamesdonequick.com and Hatsune Miku got burned into my screen so now her ghost is a part of Soul Reaver forever.

Goooooood mornin Booskee!! I CONTINUE my fundraising efforts to get Nacho his medication paid for! We're over HALFWAY THERE! Stream is up in an hour! (11am ET)! We're finishing Warriors of Might and Magic and I'm gonna check out Crusaders of Might and Magic after!

Thanks to the amazing support from the community we're officially over halfway there! I'm over the moon gang! I'll see y'all tomorrow morning at 11am ET to FINISH Warriors of Might and Magic!

And we are LIVE! We're raising funds for NAcho's medicine and if ya wanna come by and vibe and watch a silly ps1 game being played I'd appreciate it! hop in either on Twitch or Youtube! youtube.com/@kaelarcade twitch.tv/kaelarcade

Anything you can donate, and any and all subs and tips and bits this month are going to medication expenses! Anything and everything helps! Thanks again y'all for getting us to 34%!

Hey gang I've been trying to crunch the numbers on how I'm gonna be able to take care of Nacho and get this video out on Tuesday and I don't see it happening on time So the Youtube video is gonna be pushed to next week but I AM streaming tonight at 5pm ET! Let's finish Warriors of Might and Magic!

NOOOOO! The Polyhedron! That's where I work!

So I might have made a grievous error by picking up Neverwinter huh? *checks time" Uh oh.

I beat Klonoa again last night to refresh my memory on it and to finalize some production on the new video. It's JUST as much of a gut punch as the first time I played it. I get overly emotional at the ending every time.

TODAY (January 4th) is the LAST DAY for Jankuary 2 streamer spotlight submissions! 👇🙀 The jankfest kicks off this Friday 1/9! 🥳

Despite some hiccups at the end of last year we're still ON TRACK to getting the first retrospective video of 2026 out on time this Tuesday! I hope y'all will enjoy it!

Hey so...Tamon's B-Side is going to be my hyperfixation for the next 2 months and I will not apologize for that. But now I gotta wait a whole week for a new episode? This is criminal...

Thanks for an amazing first day of the Nacho-thon! We've raised 34% already! If we can even hit 50% I'll be over the moon! Stream CONTINUES on Monday at 11am!

It's a New Year! Which means it's time to play some vidya games! Starting with Warriors of Might and Magic ont he PS1! I'll be joined by ThunderCougarFalconScoop and we're gonna raise money for my fur baby Nacho's medication!! hop on in here! twitch.tv/kaelarcade youtube.com/kaelarcade

Today at 11am I'm going to be playing a silly game called Warriors of Might and Magic on my PS1 to ring in the first stream of the new year! We're goin to be starting day 1 of raising money to pay for some of Nacho's vet bills so if you can donate, check out the pinned tweet!

Update on Nacho! He's doing much better right now, but If you CAN donate anything please see the pinned tweet! We need to recover at least some of the money we spent on medicine this week so anything helps! I'll be streaming tomorrow at 11am ET to raise money!

woke up in a miserable physical state, but I'm surviving! Gonna be a rough couple days but I gotta press on

we've got some meds to break up the stones and we're gonna be monitoring his bio activities, and some stuff to keep him hydrated, and to ease the pain but there's no blockage so he's not constipated. He's just been straining quite a lot. I'll be funding as much as I can but if you'd like to help:

Happy New Year y'all!! I don't usually do resolutions, so my proper goal for this year is the same as it's been since 2020:

I'll be stuck at work all day for a 12 hour shift but I hope y'all are having a fantastic start to your new year's eve plans and here's hoping 2026 will be everything you want it to be! I've got a lot of things planned for the channel going into 2026 and I can't wait to share them with y'all!

Started playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla recently as my offline game and I got to the settlement part and it feels like it's all downhill at this point. When a game has some kind of fort/base/settlement management system it typically starts using that as a crutch for a lacking plot. 100+ hours?

So Nacho had to go to the vet this afternoon. He's alright, and he was VERY brave and didn't whine except for on the way there. He's got a bit of a bladder stone situation happening. It would be expensive ($800) to try and do surgery right now so we're going to be medicating and waiting it out.

Stream Returns Tomorrow! We’re ringing in 2026… by going back to 1995, w/ a Growing Up Genesis Sega Channel SPECIAL! Checking out the newly FOUND games preserved by the VGHF, including The Lost Levels of Garfield: Caught in the Act, some Hard Mtn Dews, and celebrate this year’s wins. See you then!

How I'm crawling out of 2025

I started playing Crimson Gem Saga on the psp while at work and dang, that sure is an Atlus game in the writing and narrative so far. Only about 2 hours in but I can easily see me sinking a lot of time into it in my downtime when I have an hour or two to kill Early impressions are good!

So I've mentioned this in the discord and I've been floating the idea around but I think in 2026, I want to add a "modern gaming" day. We're still doing PS1, PS2 and PS3 games, but I want to throw in the occasional PS4 game! We're still staying almost exclusively Playstation though!

This has been the most relaxing Christmas week I've ever had. I'm sad that I haven't been able to stream for y'all but I am SO ready to come back next week! And I'm gonna be coming back FULLY starting on the 30th! (POSSIBLY 29th but work has said they want me in sometime that day)
