Now preparing for Extra Life Chicago Gaming Convention tomorrow. I'll be teaching Lorcana. My goal this year is to reach at least $1000. If you can donate any dollar amount or share, it would make a big difference in helping the kids. www.extra-life.org/participants...

I know what I’m planning to watch this week.

My GF is great! She went out to lunch with a friend today and made a trip after to a game store that has weird hours so I never have been. She picked up so many games on my part of our wishlist and some she’s been on the hunt for. Was so excited to see one I regretted trading years ago.

Painting stream starting in 10 minutes! Continuing the DKC painting 🦍🍌 twitch.tv/Amaitae

Made it back to Lorcana for the Winterspell release draft. Won no games today but got a good amount of the Darkwing cards I wanted and also pretty great cards for the set. Such a fun store atmosphere that someone brought homemade banana bread.

Another Saturday of WoW and about half way to level 80 with my Druid! Come hang out around 12pm CT as we support @extralife4kids.bsky.social and @luriechildrens.bsky.social. And bringing back $5 donations for bean boozle! www.twitch.tv/davenerdsout

Today was really refreshing. Breakfast with family. Lorcana after and won a round. Then went to the gym with GF the smoothies/wraps for dinner. Leg held up on a bike, walking is still rough. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Had a fun day back on stream. Over half way to level 80 with my Druid. Had a great dinner out. Tomorrow gonna play Lorcana and drop off posters for our convention this month.

I believe this is my first stream since changing my Twitch handle! Come hang out around 12pm CT as I work on leveling my original Druid in WoW and supporting @extralife4kids.bsky.social & Lurie Children's! Will catch you up on what's new and wanna hear what's new with you. www.twitch.tv/davenerdsout

I’ll post tomorrow but may try to stream tomorrow. Gonna see how I feel and maybe breaks for PT stretches. But first week back in like 2 weeks of work so hopefully I can game for a few hours.

Making improvement with pain. Was able to do some light cleaning. Mostly watched some shows and got some gaming in. Was able to play some WoW and progressed in Final Fantasy Tactics. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Today we're asking you for your help in raising money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. Donate to have your message read on our shows. Let's protect our neighbors and communities from ICE. kindafunny.com/donate

Still recovering and making some progress. Hoping to maybe game this weekend and maybe watch another movie or two. What are you all looking forward to enjoying?

Monday was a long day. Took my dad to his last cancer treatment for now and got to be there for him to ring the bell. Then my pain was so bad he wheeled me into the ER there. Got some stuff that’s helping the pain but still not full health. So hoping on way to getting better.

Still in pain but getting a little better. So been watching more things and caught up on shows and movies. The Pitt can do so much sometimes in so little time. Watched part 1 of the Mel Brooks doc and it’s good. Finally saw Sinners and damn it was good.

Made it to urgent care last night and hopefully got something to help but may take time. So not gonna stream and just rest up. Stay safe and warm if you’re also getting this extreme cold weather.

Hoping to stream tomorrow, but currently at urgent care. If I can get this pain managed I’ll jump on for a short stream. Otherwise I may lay out on the couch watching movies and shows. This pain I’ve got has gotten to be too much.

Finally took the leap and making some changes to stuff I'm making. I think some of my social media handles will stay the same, but I've updated my Twitch channel now to www.twitch.tv/davenerdsout and my TikTok www.tiktok.com/@davenerdsout. So yeah new things for a new year.

Time to crank up this soundtrack and get work done.

Book 1 of 2026 finished. Started The Shining in December I think and it was a slow start which feels very deliberate, but towards the end I couldn’t put it down. Ready for more stories this year, in any format cause I’m a fan of books, games, movies, shows, and more.

I am SO close to unlocking the @extralife4kids.bsky.social Platinum t-shirt. Can you help me reach the $200 USD milestone? www.extra-life.org/participant/...

Made it to the airport in time but by the time we got to the hotel and time change, we’re gonna rest up. Tomorrow we will be at AdamCon! Looking forward to so much gaming.

Today I’m trying something different for the kids’ D&D session. Basically doing a story side quest to help get a wedding setup. No combat as I’m short on time so gonna be dice checks and asking what they wanna do. Also got them all sets of dice of their own to keep.

Can't believe it's year 16 of @extralife4kids.bsky.social and supporting @luriechildrens.bsky.social. I started because of the Totally Rad Show and Alex, Dan and @jeffcannata.bsky.social made it look like fun. I learned I had a personal connection as my mom was a patient at the hospital as a newborn

AdamCon 2026 is almost here, bringing a free, family-friendly weekend of board games, TCGs, RPGs, video games, and more, all to support @cincychildrens.bsky.social through Extra Life. 🎲🎮 Tag us in your photos from the con so we can see your squad in action!

Busy weekend ahead. I’m running D&D Saturday then have to drive an hour to make my flight to Cincinnati. I’ll be at AdamCon this weekend. Let me know if you’ll be there too.

Comic artist LeBeau Underwood’s daughter has been missing in Chicago since yesterday morning. Please share in the hopes we can bring the family a happy conclusion to this.

Goal for this year is to watch more movies then I have in last few years. May not always get to the theaters but gonna do my best to use streaming and library as best I can. Here’s what I got so far this month

I've been hooked on Slay the Spire lately so thought today would be a good day to stream it. Come hang out around 12pm CT while I try to get as far as I can in runs while supporting @extralife4kids.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/aerodash84

Real excited I got my preorder for Predator Badlands 4K Steelbook. Hoping it drops in price when it ships but definitely need it in my collection.

Just was let down by a restaurant I was waiting to go for awhile since they opened. Maybe it was a one off thing, but pretty sure server didn't put in my food until it was real late. Everyone was done and waiting on me to get my food. And they brought out the wrong order too and I dug into it.

Really gonna work on budget for this year especially with our big trip. I was paying for a Spotify family plan and had YouTube premium for myself. Got rid of Spotify and upgraded YT for family. Save some money and the apps seems basically the same but higher quality audio on YT.

Thank you to everyone who helped me raise $1000 for @extralife4kids.bsky.social and @luriechildrens.bsky.social in 2025! Year 15 was fantastic and I'm looking forward to 2026. Looking to try new fundraising ideas and stream more. And this year's page is live www.extra-life.org/participants...

Happy New Year and that means a new @extralife4kids.bsky.social campaign! I'm gonna also try a new game with Dinosaur Fossil Hunter. So come hang out around 12pm CT and let's dig up some dinorawrs! www.twitch.tv/aerodash84

No cheating, repost w your most recent picture of your pet(s)

Here’s my wrap up on 2025 and my reading and I think everything I read was included. Pretty sure I switched to StoryGraph few months into the year and my Goodreads data carried over. But yeah I’m looking forward to reading more stories this year.

Good news! I’ve watched Stranger Things so I’m back online! Happy New Year! Working on some posts about 2025 and 2026. Excited for this new year for a lot of reasons.

Wishing everyone a happy New Year as I probably sign out until I can watch Stranger Things tomorrow. No spoilers! Enjoy these napping cats!

It's been a busy week but excited for tomorrow's mini marathon. Come hang out with myself and some other Extra Lifers as we play WoW and potentially other games!

I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Kennedy Center.

Nintendo Switch 2 is $399.99 at Micro Center (in-stores) buff.ly/YD4AglF

Final mini marathon for 2025 supporting @extralife4kids.bsky.social and I'm going back to WoW. I used to play a lot up until 2011 or so. I'll be joining some other Extra Lifers in their streams as we play that and other games. Come hang out www.twitch.tv/aerodash84

On Patreon I offer high-res coloring pages, phone and desktop backgrounds, pencil archive posts twice per week, and a 20% discount in my online store for those in Guardmouse tier. patreon.com/davidpetersen

I think I will be pivoting for tomorrow. Trying to figure out game ideas for tomorrow. It'll be a surprise to all of us! Just like a true @extralife4kids.bsky.social marathon where I play what I feel like at the moment :)

Random goals/projects I wanna work on for next year. Upgrade my battery and storage on my iPod. I also wanna do an upgrade for my Game Gear. It works kind of. I don’t have the skills for some of that work so hoping to find someone at the cons I’m going to next year.

Mini Marathon part 3 is Saturday from 10am-4pm CT again. Working on details for games as I'm trying to get a group together. Hoping for a board game day, but will pivot if I can't make that happen. Come hang out as we support @extralife4kids.bsky.social at twitch.tv/aerodash84

This is a movie more people should own and watch.

Excited to revisit some of my favorites from streaming for @extralife4kids.bsky.social and can’t wait to hang out with y’all!

It's TIME! We are LIVE with day 1 of our @extralife4kids.bsky.social Game Day over at twitch.tv/RufiOOHHH Come on by and hang for a bit 😁 High fives included!

So thought I’d share what is probably the last Spotify wrapped for me as I consolidate my apps. I was paying for YouTube Premium cause I use a lot especially working and family Spotify. It’s gonna be cheaper to drop Spotify and change to a family YT account.
