We're turning up the heat with more #MetroidPrime4Beyond, and this time I'm planning on gunning it straight through these zones to make some fast progress. Will I really? Probably not. But let's find out! twitch.tv/ayotocorp for the thing!

I feel like #MetroidPrime4Beyond is lying to me constantly about everything up to and including the actual subgenre it exists inside of. It's a VERY strange feeling. It's not bad a game, but it's weird the more I think about the design decisions.

More #MetroidPrime4Beyond is happening now, we've got a big wide open world to explore so it's time to RIDE (and basically do a lot of riding, like a LOT). That's at twitch.tv/ayotocorp right now!

Initial thoughts of the first 4 hours of #MetroidPrime4Beyond: Atmosphere is good, combat feels fine as normal, NPC voice in your ear is thankfully minimal. Still present, but not overwhelming. Cautiously optimistic.

Alright, stream is happening now! That's at twitch.tv/ayotocorp, so stop on by and let's see what this long-awaited return to 3D has brought us!

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 Stickman Inc has officially expanded into the construction business 🏗️ You can now put your creativity to the test in the new LEVEL BUILDER MODE! To celebrate this recent expansion, we are now on sale, 20% off on Steam!

I refuse to pay $70 for a new videogame. Haven't done it yet, won't start now. The Switch 2 version has no features I'll be using, so why bother with the extra $10? Anyway, stream later

I can't think of a less appealing way to play this game

Masahiro Sakurai: "I added a story mode to the light-hearted kart racing game I made, please check it out when you aren't playing City Trial :)" The story mode for some fucking reason:

Lol lmao #KirbyAirRiders

We have Balatro at home.

Completed the true ending for Road Trip in #KirbyAirRiders. Was honestly not expecting to enjoy that mode as much as I did, kind of feels like a pseudo roguelike with bite-sized chunks of gameplay. Honestly probably great as an intro for brand new players.

It's honestly a crime against humanity that this video only seems to exist in two locations: a tweet, and a Reddit post from ~9 years ago. Youtube only has a version with audio that sounds like it was recorded with two tin cans connected by twine and the others lack the video. #Evangelion

What a great headline

It's really fascinating how EGS could have been a real, true, actual market competitor to Steam that would have driven the PC market forward for years to come, and it totally flopped because Tim seems to either have a savior complex about PC gaming or a grudge against Valve.

Friendly reminder for people wanting to buy #VR gear with the upcoming Mass Consumerism Season: 90% of the time if you see a "VR" headset on sale and you don't recognize the name, it's either a stationary display with no tracking, or a plastic phone shell.

Merry Thanksmas to all the USA folks today! Remember, after today you're finally allowed to be obnoxious about Christmas decorations and people can't complain about it directly to your face, only grumble about it to themselves.

There's a melancholy mood about me tonight. I can't help but think about how so many of us are trying to sell something, whether that's a product or ourselves. I don't like the feeling in the back of my mind where any interaction could be an opportunity for business or promotion.

I think it's pretty funny how every few months someone goes viral for discovering the Grenadier boob reload gif for the first time. tenor.com/view/grenadi...

Cross Blitz 1.0 is finally out! We've been working on this for over 6 years. An absolutely exhaustive undertaking. I learned a lot during its development, and I'm a much stronger artist and writer because of it. I hope its characters and world resonate with people, if even just a little.

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

Ah, a perfect toasted bagel

Reminder that this is the second-cheapest new headset you can buy (after the Quest 3s) and is also the cheapest headset with eye tracking functionality that's readily available (courtesy of PSVR2Toolkit). Also the headset is pretty comfortable once you use the top strap mod. #VirtualReality #VR

Also if you ever wanted to know why it's important that you make your official social media accounts visible and easy to find so people can tell and verify what's official THIS IS THE REASON WHY

New weird grift seems to be dropping on birdsite. There's a number of these fake brand accounts for newer indie game releases, created without the knowledge or sanction of the actual developers, masquerading as official accounts. This needs eyes on it. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #indiedevelopers

I watched Amazon's War of the Worlds (2025) starring Ice Cube last night. BRO

An open-source tool for Windows PCs with Nvidia GPUs adds eye-tracked foveated rendering to a huge number of SteamVR games:

Half-life fans: Wow I can't wait for Gabe Newell to announce Half-life 3 today! Gabe Newell:

Man, that game is super cool as a concept. EXTREMELY jank and honestly really frustrating because it feels like so much of it hinges on praying the AI happens to walk into the right room, but very cool concept.

You know, I had a really funny thought about the #SteamFrame. Valve says they want to make it cheaper than the Index. The "normal" price for the Index was $1000, but the price for the actual headset was only $500 of that. Could you IMAGINE if the Frame was $500? #VR #VirtualReality

Admit it, everyone loves a girl that's a little crazy. Bee has foreclosed on my heart for real. 😍 You know what's also crazy? ✨Claire a la Mode comes out TOMORROW! ✨ store.steampowered.com/app/2292860/... #indiegame #indiedev #platformer #pixelart #villains #steam

I got bored halfway through watching this #BlackOps7 playthrough and went to go play games with people, then picked it back up this morning. This is like peak ludonarrative dissonance distilled into a videogame, it's really quite astounding.

After hearing so much about the #BlackOps7 campaign, I decided to check out a full gameplay video of it. I'm 20 mins in and wow the writing in this is terrible, it's just running on the assumption that players will just go "Yeah sure whatever" whenever they're told something

"I can't wait to get home and see my family" I give it 40% odds that dude lives. It's only that high because maybe it's such a well-known trope they'll break from tradition and he really WILL get to see his family. Also you could save the animals so it's not ALWAYS everyone dies

I'm going to say something crazy... I kind of miss doing long-form edited #Youtube videos. There's something missing when streaming, because it's all very spontaneous and you never know where it's going to go, vs being able to craft a narrative via edits and cuts.

I'm back and I'm RUSTY, but #Silksong still has completion go to, so back to Pharloom we return. Stream live right now over on Twitch at twitch.tv/ayotocorp.

We're trying to revive the original dream of Vine. techcrunch.com/2025/11/12/j...

I posted a big long multi-point post over on Mastodon, which you can check out here (I think) tl;dr is #SteamFrame seems super cool for people new to VR, but less cool for existing VR users, and I really hope it's worth the price point they sell it at.

Ha Haha HAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT WAS ME, I DID IT, I CAUSED #STEAMFRAME TO BE ANNOUNCED YOU'RE WELCOME

Sigh... Guess I now have a reason to consider a Steam Machine

Price guess: Steam Controller: $100 Steam Machine: $600 Steam Frame: $800

Lowkey I just need to yap about the Steam Frame. Stream live at twitch, twitch.tv/ayotocorp.

Welcome to fam, ya'll! -Steam Controller -Steam Machine -Steam Frame (Growing our @steampowered.com Hardware Family in early 2026)

Well, so ends a saga. Five years ago I helped kickstart the #WrathOfTheRighteous CRPG by @owlcatgames.bsky.social, and finally after all this time I find out I apparently missed the address cutoff date for my Collector's Edition. At least they did make good on a refund, so it all worked out.

Claire a la Mode is out in ONE week! Don't be a doof! Add it to your wishlist on Steam If you don't, I'll come to your home and make you drink ketchup water. store.steampowered.com/app/2292860/... #platformer #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #cute #retro

G4 geomagnetic storm hitting the US right now. Apparently it's strong enough that they're getting #aurora activity in Texas. And it's 100% overcast in my area.
