Be safe. Take care of each other. Do good.

Guess it’s “back in the hotel room before 9.”. It’s hard to not be a little down about that.

Day 0: 21k steps, 9.7mi.

Just because it’s #TwitchCon day 0, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t exercise (workouts the rest of TwitchCon are up in the air).

Naps are OP.

This year I’m trying to be good with not going to things at #TwitchCon. Going to meals when I want them, going to bed when I’m tired. I have 0 external parties on my list, and that’s ok.

downside to working at a startup game studio is that when the president rat fucks the economy, funding dries up real fast. on a related note: anyone know anyone remote or in Seattle looking for a senior executive admin, chief of staff, or project manager?

I swapped my #workout splits from full body to upper/lower, and my upper is sufficiently toasted.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

VGHS was peak entertainment, and you'll never convince me otherwise.

WE ARE LIVE RIGHT NOW! COME HANG OUT!!! // twitch.tv/critbard!

Took a break and now I'm doing an afternoon stream of Borderlands 4 as we get Rafa through the campaign. Chilling before #TwitchCon. twitch.tv/rss

I wanna do some card cataloguing from yesterday's set of pulls, and then probably some video games. Stream will start in a few minutes, so come hang out if you want to do some chill co-working esque stuff to start your morning. twitch.tv/rss

Semiu might be my favorite character in Gachiakuta.

So my Luffy from Fist of Divine Speed came back from Beckett as a 9, which is a tad frustrating as it was all print errors, but still not too bad. I did manage to pull a non-foil Soul Stone from the Spider-Man Play Booster box at least.

The stream has started. Beginning with the Spider-Man #MtG Play Boosters, followed by #OnePieceTCG "Legacy of the Master", and then the mystery box... twitch.tv/rss

Ok yeah. Somewhere around 2-3PM PT I’mma be rippin these open. twitch.tv/rss

Friends who play Pokémon TCG pocket, I need you to start wishlisting cards you’re missing. That lets me see what you want and what I can give you!

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Counterpoint: the lead actor is a piece of shit that people don't want to support. I really enjoyed the other TRON movies, but I refuse to see this one.

Guess I should stream opening these tomorrow. Wonder what’s in the blank box…

Spider-Man and One Piece acquired.

Time to go be irresponsible with money and spend too much on cardboard.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Wanted to share this post from the #Twitch Partner Discord, since I've seen some chatter about it here as well. I don't have more info than what is posted here, but I wanted to share it for visibility and to hopefully help some of the concerns I've been seeing.

10/10/2016 I started as an entry level Customer Support Rep at #Twitch. I'd moved across the country for an opportunity to join the company that supported so many communities that I adored and was a part of. I got to advocate for creators, viewers, and have a voice, even as an entry level rep.

Hoooo boy is the state of Marvel SNAP garbage. I think it's finally time for me to let it go.

I know lots of people are worried about the current state of *gestures widely*. To quote the blog "In order to protect attendees and the integrity of our safety operations, we can’t disclose specific details publicly.", but here's some high level info for TwitchCon: blog.twitch.tv/en/2025/10/0...

Batting 0.000 in recent work discussions feels great.

@okayperview.com accept my trade offer ya dingus!

I'm confident that wired airpods are better at clinging onto things than grappling hooks ever could be.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community. Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

Who could have seen this coming? The downside of being forced to provide an ID. Shocked. Shocked I say.

I got an AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme 3 to see if it would work any better for me as a capture card, and I can only get a black screen in OBS. I've updated all firmware, installed everything it's asked me to, and still nothing. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know.

Lunch too big. Tired has arrived. I'm in the office though, so no nap time.

Just in case folks didn't see this email, wanted to share the news. TL;DR - Prime Gaming as a brand is retiring, but nothing of actual substance with relation to Twitch and Prime subscriptions will change.

Some days you just feel even more tired than normal. Guess I should try turning on my happy light.

Looking for something to do this #PeriodActionDay? The Prison Flow Project is hosting a webinar panel on periods in prison: how periods impact the experience of prison, how current policies hurt menstruators, and what we can do to make change. 10:30 am CT, October 11th! Sign up at bit.ly/4pzXKj5

Trying to get Workflows to interact with items in a Slack List is legitimately one of the worst user experiences I've ever come across. The documentation is bad, the interface doesn't make sense, and it's just all a mess. Holy hell.

Shut it down. Shut it all fucking down. Trump has the losing hand here & he knows it, so he's trying to blame his shitty shutdown on the dolls, hoping spineless dems will sacrifice them on the altar of civility. Fuck anyone who crosses to help him. Fuck them and primary them and hassle them to Hell

So @domesticdan.com , it seems Megabonk is the new Vampire Survivors for encoder slaying.

With the current stability of BL4, the DLC character really should have been named "CR4SH".

The default settings for Sledding Game (Demo) are very nice.

This comparison is funny.

Continuing to stream for Bike MS! Gonna play some throwback FPS games for a bit. Donate at BlinkingGuy.com Watch at Twitch.tv/drewscanlon
