Just a reminder, no stream today. We'll be continuing Rune Factory next Sunday!

Been playing Once Upon a Katamari and it feels like there's weird lack of "just make a big katamari" stages early on. So far they've mostly had gimmicks or just ask for specific items. I kind of miss those since they were my favorite type of stages.

Going live with more Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma in about ten minutes! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

I was wondering how I don't have more Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon games in the 100 hours pool. Then I remembered my 3DS capture card isn't tied to my account.

A bit delayed, but we'll be going live with more Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma in about 10 minutes! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

Remember to be considerate tonight while trick-or-treating!

Happy Halloween everyone. Hope everyone has a fun and safe evening!

It's been a crazy few weeks at work so my upload schedule has been somewhat inconsistent but I'm hoping to get things back on track in the next week or two. The next Oracle of Ages episode should be going up tomorrow.

Caught my first alpha shiny this weekend. Now to figure out how to fit this on my team.

It's been the week from hell at work due to last minute rush requests and it looks like I'll be working this weekend too. Might cancel Sunday's stream to get some leftover work done and to take a break but I'll keep you guys updated.

Excuse me?

Going live soon with more Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, now that we're past the Astral Shrine quests, it's time to see what's next with the plot. www.twitch.tv/thomal9

Apparently my channel hit 15 years old a few days ago. How the heck has it already been 15 years, it feels like it was only a few years ago when I decided to start doing LPs on a whim during college.

Let's give this another try today, going to be streaming more Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma with hopefully less technical issues in about 30 minutes! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

I think I figured out why my stream connection earlier was so awful. I guess Twitch silently removed a bunch of servers a week or two ago and the one I had on by default isn't an option anymore. Reset a few things and looks like it's stable for now. Going to try streaming again tomorrow instead.

It's been a month but it's time to return to Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma! Going live in about 10 minutes so let's see if I can remember what we were doing before we got distracted by the Bazaar. www.twitch.tv/thomal9

Finally home after driving most of the day, took forever with some random traffic jams on the way back.

The Trails in the Sky remake definitely picked an interesting way to pronounce "Liberl"

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

Been playing the Trails in the Sky remake and I thought that since I've played the original before that going Nightmare mode wouldn't be too bad. I'm a few hours in and I think I've died more times then my entire first playthrough of the original. Nightmare mode has hands.

I've been dealing with food poisoning all weekend and am basically running on no sleep right now. So I think I'm going to do the smart thing and cancel today's stream. I'll be out of town next weekend, so we'll get back to Rune Factory in October.

Food poisoning sucks. That's all.

found it

Yakuza 3 but with better combat sounds like an absolute win.

Just as a heads up, due to some afternoon plans, I'm going to be starting the stream earlier then usual today. We'll be getting back to the Grand Bazaar remake for another session or two! I'll likely be starting around 11AM PDT (about an hour earlier then usual).

Finished my no alert/non lethal run of MGS Delta. And yep, I'm a Tsuchinoko. Gotta love your Japanese snake cryptids. Overall, a very good remake of a very good game. Although it's a bit too faithful to original at times.

One day, I'll have a weekend where I don't need to catch up on work due to dumb delays from clients pushing things back. This weekend is not one of those weekends.

I can't believe The Super is bringing us some heavy rain.

I was about to be like “Why is he offering it like it’s a multiplayer experience, is he just going to sit there and watch her play” and then mid-sentence I realized every single Xenoblade fan in the world would do that

You know what? I'll take second place.

really big fan of this post. goated imo

Woke up a bit sick with a cold so I'm going to cancel today's stream. We'll get back to Grand Bazaar next week.

Just as a heads up, I might need to cancel tomorrow's Grand Bazaar stream. Some IRL things have come up but I'll provide an update tomorrow morning if I need to cancel.

I think the new things I'm most looking forward to from the direct are Fire Emblem, the new Yoshi game, the Fatal Frame 2 remake, and the Dragon Quest 7 remake (maybe I'll actually beat it this time).

Finally won the FFXIV housing lottery and upgraded to a medium lot. Now to figure out how I want to decorate it.

Going live soon with more Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

Finished my replay of Hollow Knight, I am now ready for Silksong.

I might try adjusting some of my stream settings going forward to try and improve the VODs, seems like lately Twitch's exports have been a lot lower quality than what I'm streaming at.

Bit of a tip when making stew, pay attention to the amount of liquid to make sure it doesn't all boil off since you had the heat just a bit too high. I might have burned my dinner because of that tonight.

me eyeing silksong

It's in the high 90s outside, seems like the perfect time for some Labor Day hot pot.

I swear whoever made the default export option from Twitch be to make videos public is the worst. I'll fix the title when I get home

It's the day after bazaar day, so we're going to continue with Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar in a few minutes! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

It needs to be Sunday so I can play more Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar.

It's finally launch day so I'll be checking out some Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar in about 30 minutes! Come on out and let's see how this compares with the original! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

Rise n Shine, a new review is out, this time for Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar. Marvelous has done it again with this re-imagining of the DS Classic! Major thanks to @storyofseasons.bsky.social @marveloususa.bsky.social for the chance to review this game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDZz...

We're taking a break from Rune Factory this week. Since the Grand Bazaar remake is right around the corner, I'll be streaming of the original today instead! Going live in about 20 minutes! www.twitch.tv/thomal9

Oof, I'm beginning to hear my computer fan starting to wear down. With how old PC is getting, it might be time to start thinking about an upgrade.

Man, I really want to replay Hollow Knight now that Silksong actually has a release date.

Man, I barely played the first Kirby's Air Ride, but I'm finally catching up on the direct and Sakurai is really tempting me to get the new one.
