It's time for Sten's 2026 Media Thread to begin! Just gonna give my general thoughts on every show, movie, or especially game as I beat or finish them. Pretty simple really. And what better place to start then:

Someone make a Zote Custom Machine in Kirby Air Riders and my life is yours!

Am I crazy for saying that the main thing keeping me from liking Silksong more than the first game right now is the amount of enemy ambushes or bosses that summon enemies that exist in this game? Like genuinely can we stop with these please??

Made this like months ago when @ascuffedsten.bsky.social was playing Sonic Advance! Felt like sharing it now since the 100 Indie Games collab is out! Why I didn't share this doodle before is beyond me lmao

From the bottom of my heart... Thank you.

Woah no way I did too

Okay last announcement for today: I’m uploading my segment from “100 Indie Games YOU Should Play” ( @ascuffedsten.bsky.social ) separately on the 2nd channel. I covered #robloxpressure and it’s the most outdated video ever of all time BUT GO WATCH THE FULL VIDEO it’s in the replies

Massive News!! Thanks to an incredibly generous donator from our stream today who donated $200, we've pushed just past raising enough money for charity to add another day on to the livestream marathon bringing us to 9 days in a row! More info coming soon 👀

Day 1 of the Week-Long Charity Livestream Begins Now! Today we'll be playing Mindustry alongside @patnat.bsky.social, @dailysilksongnews.bsky.social, and @definitelytinta.bsky.social! Hop on in! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhUM...

Reminder that the Week-Long Charity Livestream Marathon begins tomorrow! An additional day gets added for every $500 we raise and we're over halfway to a 2nd day being added to the marathon so if you want to see MORE streams with MORE guests then let's keep this rolling! Hope to see you there!

In case you missed it: We've announced the schedule for the Week-long charity livestream marathon we'll be hosting! As a reminder, for every $500 we raise, we'll be adding another day! This includes what we'll be playing as well as who will be showing up assuming nothing comes up. See you then!

Okay that was a lot more varied than I expected.

Here's my segment for 100 Indie Games! Watch me nerd out about Yume Nikki! 🪟 #indiegames #YumeNikki #vt

I'm starting to understand why they made Kamek so rare in Mario Kart World now

Episode 22 of The Special Hour features @ascuffedsten.bsky.social where we discuss his brand new collaboration video on 100 Indie Games (for charity)! (Link in Replies)

Yeah that seems about right. Lord only knows what my Spotify Wrapped is going to look like

It's only been ONE DAY and we've already raised enough money to add an additional day onto the livestream marathon! Thank you so much everyone! Now let's see how much longer we can keep this going👀

Now Presenting: 100 Indie Games YOU Should Play... for Charity! A massive collaborative video project where 100 content creators share one of the favorite indie games and tell you why you should play it! All to raise money for mental health! Give it a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp9L...

Clearly I only listen to the best tracks while I'm at work on Black Friday

Heard this new racing game just came out. Been hearing constant talk about it all over my feed. Thought I would see what all the fuss is about... wait what do you mean I'm late?

And there it is...

November 30th at 6pm EST See you all there...

So I just got done with a big debate between a friend of mine who was talking to me about how he believes that to make it in content creation you NEED to focus on livestreaming and chase trends or its never going to work and something about that just doesn't feel right to me? (Cont.)

I'm sorry what do you mean Youtooz is making lego sets now???

I think my new favorite way to find video game music to listen to is to go into YouTube Music, skip to the end of a playlist, and let autoplay rip. For me its just been a series of a bunch of Sonic music with the occasional SilvaGunner rip and the Final Lap version of Toad Factory for some reason.

Me currently manifesting this as a Stardew Valley collab even though I have never played this game in my life.

So like... does the "Show me less like this" button on this site actually work? I've kept pressing the button for things like politics and fetish art and stuff but that all keeps popping up anyway

My roommate clowned on me for having Vanilluxe on my team in Z-A but I'll have him know I beat Zygarde by just using Vanilluxe. Yeah. Who's laughing now idiot.

Oh yeah that all adds up- wait what do you mean I've played 3D Land for over 200 hours???

Okay can I just say I'm really liked Legends Z-A so far but man the amount of times you have to refight someone shortly after you just fought them the first time and is getting pretty redundant I'm not gonna lie

Today I learned there are people who unironically think 11am is considered afternoon. We have truly failed as a species.

Oh hey I know that guy

Hello it is me John Twilight

Nintendo what do you mean you recommend I play Another Crab's Treasure because I played the Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game? What do you mean???

You know you're in for a crazy trailer when this is the thumbnail

I cant wait to see my Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year and see at least half of the top 100 songs be Sonic music.

You might not like it but this is what peak human performance looks like. If you're not like Bill Ding, what are you doing with your life really?

Anyone know where if there's anywhere to find high quality rips of the Sonic Racing Crossworlds OST on YouTube yet?

Today I learned that infamous Pokémon character Ball Guy is voiced by the same guy who voices Glamrock Freddy. Just thought I should share.

Okay its not very often that a game has me sold from first impression but this really seem so up my alley and I am genuinely so intrigued by where this goes.

Okay you know what, I've come to a final conclusion: This is the best Mario soundtrack in history and its not even close.

Quick update: DMs are back open!

Felt like sharing a thumbnail I had done a while ago for a video that was scrapped because I still can't get over how awesome this turned out so I at least want it to see the light of day. Maybe I'll revisit the concept at a future date but only time will tell. (Art by @wiggle-rain.bsky.social)

Guys I'll be real I think I found one of my new favorite video game soundtracks

What do you mean there's a company like Youtooz except they're figures of Youtubers made out of Legos. Do not tempt me.

Ayo is this writing fire??

So I learned that apparently people can still message me as normal but I'll never be able to see who or what it is. That is going to drive me up the wall so bad.

So apparently I need to verify my age with an ID or SSN to use things like DMs on here now because of the stare I live in. Considering the fact that DMs on here are one of the primary ways I reach new creators especially for the kind of projects I make, that seems like very bad news for me.

I uh... I think I just cheated death
