2025 Life Recap: - Lost 110lbs - Made some awesome new friends - Made closer connections to some existing friends - Started getting back into sports (Pickleball and Power Lifting) - Hitting new Strength PRs (300lb bench press, 500lb deadlift) - Developed additional Sleep Problems

I know I don't stream on schedule anymore - but debating doing a streaming Advent Calendar. 25 Days - 25 Different Games across multiple consoles. The only hurdle are Tuesday nights because of Pickleball League, so it would be 2 games on a Wednesday lol.

Officially down 100lbs this year. That's all, back to your everyday doom-scrolling

Streams comin' back Friday night. New Pixel Quest layout will make it's debut! I think we'll pull out a Super Mario World to launch it off! -- Let's Play Pixel Quest Youtube Uploads are coming probably in the next month (need to make those thumbnails). -- PS5 streams will come back in Oct.

Down 80lbs this year - there's a lot of things you're not prepared for when losing a lot of weight, in my experience. - Body Dysmorphia. As I lose this weight, I don't see change like others are seeing, all I see are the imperfections caused from being overweight. It's hard to take compliments.

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it authorblues.github.io/lecture-slid...

The world is officially healing.

We'll try not to have a scuffed stream this weekend lol. I'll hook up the Xbox tonight and get things set up and tested. Maybe we'll try out The Last Bounty Hunter this weekend. However, in our scuffed-ness I learned a lot about Game Gear capture lmao

Might try and stream tonight. Maybe hook up the Xbox and try out the DVD games Maybe mess around with some random games to figure out how we do long plays vs let's play. The world is our oyster, so they say lol

Happy Donkey Kong Day

Level 38 today. Rolled decent stats and decent proficiencies I guess to last me this long.

SGDQ 2025 - Reflections and Shoutouts pastebin.com/ixaW99cc Best GDQ I've attended for a lot different reasons, mostly because of the people I was around.

I watched this at GDQ - the death animations are top-tier

i genuinely believe that GDQ pushing conservatives and nazis out of its events and doubling down upon support for human rights after they started whining about it like a buncha children who had their toys taken away was one of the best things that GDQ's ever done

I've had this dilemma for about 5 years now on Youtube.. I never know how to organize and separate Raw Playthroughs and Playthroughs with Commentary. But I think this is the year I try and figure it out since I don't do much on Twitch anymore. www.youtube.com/@eBloodyCandy

oh yeah.. the amount of friends I watch on Twitch and say literally nothing is amazing.

first day after GDQ and back to boring food lol

Heading down to the lobby for the good byes. Will miss y'all, but I also miss my own bed lol

Final meal with the crew

This has been - hands down - the best GDQ I've ever been too. Not many things in my life are good, but seeing my friends and meeting new friends this week has numbed a lot of that bad and has made this the best week of my life in a while. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I can be a lot <3

Incredible energy at this year's Eliminator Boat Duel community meetup at #SGDQ2025 @ebloodycandy.bsky.social thank you for the engagement
