why did i endure 55 consecutive fights in '3D Classics: Urban Champion'??? (because i wanted to see what different "Grades" there were you could rank up into lol)

Check out L33tStr33t Boys' new single "Yuri the Only One" if you get the chance. Sound of the summer.

every once in a while, i remember that Ultima Online is still running, and has a "Screenshots" page with a grand total of nine images to represent the game that all look like this

me getting a sip of that cool cool water on a 100° day

this shouldn't be a particularly hot take, but anyone you see willfully ignoring that kirk advocated for exactly the kind of violence that ultimately claimed his evil life / who's posturing at being noble for saying "my thoughts are with him and his family" are fucking clowns and cowards

it's hard work being a largely retro-focused streamer while also believing that most old games are mostly bad, but it's honest work

was craving a burger yesterday on my lunch break and wound up getting Wendy's for the first time in a long time. my stomach has been suffering for it ever since, and it wasn't even a particularly good meal. guess i'm taking another years-long break from them lol

BROKE: Referring to the SNES / Genesis era of consoles as either the "16-bit" or "4th" generation. 🫤 WOKE: Referring to the SNES / Genesis era as the "flop era" of consoles. 😎

Do It For Her

always reaffirming to remember that every other content creator i've ever had beef with has been the one in the wrong, and that i am always the one in the right. i have never been incorrect and never will be. it's a heavy burden being infallible, but i carry that weight proudly. you're welcome 💪

every day, i come home from work a little more tired -- a little less in the mood to do the streaming thing that we do goddamn near every day. and at this point, all i can do is channel that exhaustion into my stream persona, until i eventually just become a bad games mike stoklasa lol

love taking two and a half days off work to try and get over being sick, coming back on a thursday, and still somehow feeling like completely exhausted dogshit / staring down the barrel of a rapidly incoming full-blown depressive episode lmao. this 8 to 6 shit ain't for me, man

checking in on this "first five steam purchases" trend, and wouldn't you know it, but Audiosurf was apparently the first game i bought on it digitally? lol should also note that before steam became a storefront, i bought my copies of Counter-Strike 1.6 / Condition Zero as physical media. wild times

thinking it might be that time of the decade where i purge folks from my friends lists that i don't talk to any more, which effectively means "folk who don't regularly hang out in my discord server." i get that it sucks that the only way to talk to me is in a 400+ user server, but them's the breaks

bsky.app/profile/migh... everyone making fun of this post / poster is correct, actually: this shit is fucking Lame with a capital L

establishing myself as being above the pitiable sheep who support the modern AAA industry and their constant releasing of unnecessary remasters, by instead supporting faceless holding companies / purchasing every single dogshit conversion of 30+ year old arcade games being sold on consoles 😎

when you get mad at me, this is me, this is who youre getting mad at

just in case there are folk among you who see me post stuff like this and assume i'm perpetually on the brink of ending BGHOF: nah, i'm too dumb and stubborn to quit lol

what the world needs now is yet another parody news website writing fake headlines about the video game industry. the people demand it. please, for the love of god, i need a social media account to make a funny about how the upcoming LoZ movie will feature an hour-long scene in the water temple!!!!

you could say that i'm something of an "acquired taste" (read also; a miserable contrarian with an insufferable air of superiority about me) 😎

clean up the room, come on, clean up the room everybody's helping out to clean up the room clean up the toys, come on, clean up the toys we're cleaning up the toys so that we can see the floor

attempting to psychically will a 'Dame Nukem 3D' mod into the world that genderswaps duke with a stacked blonde, and replaces his one-liners with a sultry lady VA saying stuff like "hail to the queen, baby" and "damn, i love having sex with other women, because i'm fuckin' gay!!!!!"

remember that dude from back in the twitter days who summarized game news story headlines, tried to start a Patreon to continue funding his summaries, and then quit the internet in a huff when he didn't get enough patrons? remember how people called it a "loss for games journalism"?? good times lol

imagine if a video game was Good** (**not Bad)

a fun thing to do online is to establish yourself as a niche games writer, ingratiate yourself to a community of fellow struggling writers, get burnt out on writing; then pivot to video, immediately find more success in it, and then watch most of those friends you previously made sever ties lol

hilarious to remember that i'm still sitting on all the raw footage for 𝔻𝕌𝔼𝕃𝕀ℕ' 𝔽𝕀ℝ𝔼𝕄𝔼ℕ and design documents / prototypes for 🅱🅻🅰🅲🅺 🆁🅾🅳🅴🅾 (among so much other unseen 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐆𝐔𝐍 materials), and that there's nothing i can do with any of it beyond just sitting on it for now lol

someone please explain to me the appeal of watching someone stream themselves earning retroachievements. use small words because i am apparently an alien from another planet / the only person who finds the very concept of it completely tedious. also, i am an admitted hater of "fun"

getting started on my cross-country drive bright and early tomorrow morning. let's hope it goes at least slightly better than the last time!

not looking to "start drama" or anything, but: i'm getting real sick (read; jealous) of seeing some of the corniest motherfuckers in the "bad games content" scene still doing the performatively angry shtick and inexplicably maintaining wildly devoted fanbases for it lmao

shame about the layoffs, but fuck, man: what a disaster of a fuckin' game. what a stupid business model mixed with sub-par gameplay. what a dumb time to try and launch it, and a dumb concept banking off of ubisoft IPs when all that shit is as generic and interchangeable as can be

so, i'd been trying nicotine patches the past few days to try and help me quit smoking (only my umpteenth attempt); only to realize on the drive to work today that i am susceptible to the side effects which cause nausea and severe abdominal pain lol

strongly considering gambling with my livelihood, and doing the thing i have always recommended people Do Not Do Under Any Circumstances: quitting my day job and pursuing content creation full time lmfao

you know, i don't think i much like it when writers for the games news sites do articles about consumers protesting forced PSN account integration in PC games from the perspective of "it's really not that big a deal," and try to broadly paint review-bombing / boycotting as ineffective and immature

maybe one of these days, i'll stop being tired all the time and having to chug energy drinks pretending like they actually do something to remedy said tiredness. but today is evidently not that day lol

it's probably not great that the only game i really play in my spare time these days is a mobile app poker game lol. granted, i've only spent... $50 on it re-upping my digital chips (which you can't cash out, btw)? but man oh man, do i love the feeling of occasionally outfoxing folk haha

So can I post videos yet?

to be honest, i kinda do miss just ~Posting~ for posting's sake, so maybe i'll actually wind up using this side account for something after all? i'll be honest though: the inability to upload animated GIFs on this site is fuckin' brutal for our whole shtick lmfao
