If you're feeling helpless about the state of the world, please remember that you DO have agency. You CAN make a difference. Try doing just one generous thing to help others. Here's an easy one: You can donate $5 to my Extra Life and help sick kids get the care they need. bread4kids.tv/extralife

Late night TV shows with Kimmel, Stewart, etc are one of the only ways I can mentally deal with the daily onslaught of cruelty, injustice, and idiocy coming out of this administration. Their ability to speak truth to power and make me laugh at the same time has meant so much. #CancelDisney

For the first time in my professional career, I took two full weeks of vacation and fully unplugged from work. Why didn't I allow myself this sooner?

Growing out the mohawk begins now...

If you don't want to miss content like this, you gotta follow me on Twitch. twitch.tv/bread4kids

My Oura ring shaming me... Um I mean "encouraging" me to get to bed on time tonight.

On this Father's Day, I'm thinking of all the Dads who are sitting by their kids' bedside at my local children's hospital, waiting for good news, or helping lift their spirits, or just being there. We can make a difference in their lives. Please stop by and show your support! twitch.tv/bread4kids

Excited for my new setup for streaming board, dice, and card games on Twitch. 😄 I wanted to make it easier for us to capture the action, and more enjoyable for you all to watch. We're LIVE now for #ExtraLife Tabletop Weekend! Stop by and let me know what you think. 🙏

Another Twitch revenue share payout donated to our @extralife4kids.bsky.social! Thank you to everyone for making this a thing we can do! #ExtraLife

One year ago, #extralife Tabletop Weekend brought me and my three best friends together after years apart. And then playing board games became our new monthly tradition! Join us this Sunday to celebrate a year of playing board games and helping sick and injured kids!

I knew the final day of @streamraiders.bsky.social was going to be a difficult and emotional time, but I wasn't ready for this amazing showing of support for our #ExtraLife as well. So many people contributed to help the kids at my hospital and this act of kindness made a tough day a little easier.

The FINAL day to play @streamraiders.bsky.social is tomorrow! Please join me for a proper farewell to this game that was truly one of a kind. Stream starts at 12pm ET twitch.tv/bread4kids

Of course I'm going to take the day off from work for an all-day stream to celebrate @streamraiders.bsky.social and a proper farewell. 😭 And how appropriate to be joined by these two amazing Captains who have shown the game and it's community so much love over the years. Hope to see you then!

Some of the best moments during our Tuesday Game Night streams are thanks to this game. 😂 #Repo #RepoGame

Steady progress in #RocketLeague! I feel like my game sense is good but I've hit a ceiling with my current mechanics so time to learn some new moves to keep climbing.

I tried playing Balatro for the first time and I lost my entire Sunday.

Not sure why so many people hate on Twitch's Stream Together feature. It's great! If you take 10 minutes to learn how it works and set it up in advance, it is an amazing way to collaborate with other content creators. 🙌

Live with our final @streamraiders.bsky.social skin-a-thon with 100% going to help sick kids at my local children's hospital via #ExtraLife! Raffling off Steam gift cards, gold skins, and more. You can also earn your very own Stream Raiders head skin artwork! 😮 twitch.tv/bread4kids

I've been running Stream Raiders battles every stream for almost six full years... How could I not do one last big event before it ends forever? 😊 Hope to see you this Wednesday as we celebrate the journey while helping sick kids at the same time.

There are three days in February without a @streamraiders.bsky.social skin-a-thon scheduled. Should I do it? One last big Stream Raiders event? For the kids?!

It's only day 44 of 2025 and look what we accomplished... Over $1K earned to help sick and injured kids via #ExtraLife! This is all thanks to the generosity of my friends and our wonderful community on Twitch. Simply amazing. 😍

Thank you to all the @streamraiders.bsky.social fans who bought or gifted my skins which made this donation possible!

I don't participate in #ExtraLife for the fundraising perks, but I will say I was very happy to receive this Xbox controller. Thank you, Extra Life team! Every time I look at it in my hands, I will be reminded of how many amazing people came together to make a difference in the lives of sick kids.

So I posted on Facebook about how Transgender people will not be erased by that abhorrent executive order and invited anyone who disagreed with me to comment so I could happily delete and sever ties with them. I am pleased to report that my total number of shitty, racist Uncles is now down to zero.

I've been playing a lot more Rocket League on stream and consequently have been cursing more often. We're supposed to be family friendly so I need to correct this. Starting today, I will donate $1 for every time I curse while LIVE and you get to hold me accountable! twitch.tv/bread4kids

How did I miss the announcement of DOOM: The Dark Ages??!! But now that I know, I have to wait until May 15th? 😭 Holy crap this looks amazing. Gimmie! youtu.be/4tk8lkmYGWQ?...

"I will not be done in by an expired piece of pie. This is not how I die." This is how our stream started tonight. twitch.tv/bread4kids

Honored to be featured in my local children's hospital's yearly publication. The article highlights our efforts to help sick kids through gaming and #ExtraLife! issuu.com/lifespanmc/d...

When I retire from software development, I am going to open up a breakfast place and this will be on the menu.

Making carnitas for the very first time! Serving street tacos to the family tomorrow. And, since it will take 10 hours to cook, I have a legit reason to stay up until 2am playing Rocket League. 😛

Huge New Year's plans with the Mrs!

Six hours into our final stream and we hit our #ExtraLife goal for 2024! I am so thankful for everyone that made this possible. The impact that you made in the lives of these kids is nothing short of amazing and my heart is full. How much more can we raise before midnight?! twitch.tv/bread4kids

My final stream of the year is on Monday from 10am - midnight ET. We'll be recapping all of the amazing events that happened during our 2024 #ExtraLife journey AND raffling off some cool merch if we hit our final fundraising goal! 😮 Some fellow streamers and Extra Lifers might also join us. 😍

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. Having a lot of fun with Marvel Rivals at the moment!

My co-workers have gotten used to Loki messaging them on Slack when I've stepped out of my home office and forget to lock my computer.

It's a Doom Christmas! 🎄 twitch.tv/bread4kids

Grab a cup of hot chocolate and join me today at 5pm ET for our annual "It's a Doom Christmas!" stream. We'll be cozying up and fighting the demons of Hell against a soundtrack of your favorite holiday classics!

Being a software engineer means that I can just make whatever I need to support the needs of my Twitch stream. Just added automatic queueing of a song if a supporter makes an Extra Life donation and includes the link to the song in the donation message. I think it. I want it. I code it. I got it.

I can see that my CPU upgrade was delivered but my wife won't let me open it until Xmas!! 😭

My #SteamReplay. Looks legit.

Just finished watching the Unreal Tournament episode of Secret Level and for 19 glorious minutes I was a young man again, fragging my friends during a basement LAN party.

When I'm asked in my work standup if I have any current blockers...

Our 2024 goal of raising $20,000 to help sick and injured kids is now within our reach! With the holidays approaching, you can help me provide the gift of life-saving equipment and medical care to kids that need it most. No amount is too small. Thank you!! extra-life.org/participant/...

Then why am I still losing the war on Dad bod? You're saying I have to eat and sleep well, too? 🤪

We are a polarized nation, but the one thing we can agree on is that Reese's Peanut Butter Trees taste way better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

The BeanBoozled and Egg Roulette #ExtraLife donation incentives were a hit. And of course, the yolk's on me! 15 eggs cracked and three of them were raw... And all of that silliness resulted in almost $500 raised to help sick and injured kids. Amazing!

We're LIVE with our tabletop stream! Board games and silly #ExtraLife donations. All to help sick and injured kids get the life-saving medical care they need. One egg has already been smashed and luckily for SwampyJoe, it was hardboiled. 🤣 twitch.tv/bread4kids

We decided to spice things up for tomorrow's tabletop game stream. 😮 While we play board games for your viewing enjoyment, there will be these 3 #ExtraLife donation incentives! Let's have fun and help sick and injured kids at the same time! See you tomorrow at 2pm ET!

My friend Jesus and I had too much fun setting up our new #RocketLeague clan. Maybe with our new name I'll remember to let my teammate cook. Maybe.

During the glorious LAN Party days I was the big fish in our little pond. Everyone hated me for my mad skillz. I was rail gunning people out of the air in Quake 3 and 1v3'ing my friends in StarCraft. Then the games moved online and I faced a sad reality...
