Slowly recovering from the weekend, but I took 1st in Sailor Moon S at Otakon making up for my loss to @maxdoutex.bsky.social at Frosty in 2025 :V #otakon2026 #sailormoon

Vs Metal Gear at Otakon

Welp, I broke Strider at Otakon. Even when on the road, games break when I touch them. #otakon2026 #capcom #jank

Another bucket list item checked off; I have now been trapped in an elevator.

No streams this week as I’ll be in DC for Otakon.

It's taken awhile, but @maxdoutex.bsky.social and I are finally streaming footage of our Mystery Tournament from SQXL 2025! twitch.tv/bonuslizard #sqxl #fgc #mysterytournament

Watame was very glad to see that I reused the bucket seat from my previous rig. It was literally the cheapest, new seat I could find on eBay, but he loves it all the same.

Nearly missed it, but June’s 1-All clear is of Salamander 2. Watch me ignore safe strats and rank management to make life much harder than it needs to be! #stg #1all

Looks like the weather in Raleigh remembered what month it is.

Having video issues with my streaming PC, so tonight’s stream might be off : /

With MiSTer FPGA tournament issues making the rounds again, here’s the link to the TO guide I put together nearly 2-years ago to the day! wiki.supercombo.gg/w/User:Bonus... While the details need to be updated, the basics are still relevant. Please share this with your local TO’s! #misterfpga #fgc

Ok, the Metal Slug 1CC took a lot less time than I thought. Still not thrilled with how the game handles difficulty though : / Maybe Black Tiger is next? #vtuber #metalslug #1CC #wheresfio

@sardoose.bsky.social watching American Gladiators reminded me that UK Gladiators was better, and that Wolf was the best. youtu.be/PF5Qb2OvPs4?... #ukgladiators #wolf #bringbackwolf

Forgot to post it in a timely manner, but the top 3 finishers for Animazement 2026’s mystery tournament were: 🥇 @ryyudo.bsky.social 🥈 Vetenoa 🥉 @ghostlymilk13.bsky.social Thanks to everyone who participated, and stay tuned for more mystery! #animazement #fgc #mysterytoutnament

With Strider beaten, I need some new side 1CC's to work on! Maybe Ghosts 'n Goblins? Metal Slug :( ? Any suggestions that aren't Final Fight? #vtuber #1CC #oldgames
