Queer neurodivergent dweeb. That super textured voice on Pixel Spectrum and Castle Bravo. Trying my best, despite all odds. Links: https://linktr.ee/derbycityderek

Big Walk does some INCREDIBLE stuff! Not that anything is does is GROUND BREAKING! But after years of what we've come to know as "FRIENDSLOP," It takes those familiar mechanics and fine tunes them so you know it's made with passion and not for a quick weekend buck

Matt aka Stormageddon 🎙️@djstormageddon.com · yesterday

Played Big Walk for 3 hours tonight and I must confirm it has the sauce. Such a goofy fun time. @househouse.com has made something that is pure joy. Shout out to @cgdannyb.bsky.social and @derekvandyke.bsky.social who had me giggling like a little kid the entire time. Cannot wait to play more.

I have intentionally paid little attention to the new Fire Emblem past the initial reveal trailer, because I know I'm there day one no matter what But I'm guessing that if I had been paying attention, the nun with the blicky wouldn't suddenly be making any more sense, huh

See what I mean? Cape Fatigue isn't real, it's just that people want the shit they actually want. Brand New Day's insane success on the first weekend is purely because people wanted Spider-Man. It seems like people love it, but THIS doesn't happen without people desperately wanting to see it already

The average person has been tuned out of the MCU because BOTH the movies have been mid and people's connection to the OGs did not carry forward to newer characters. Spider-Man is going to do gangbusters. Doomsday and Secret Wars are going to be massive.

Back home after spending a few days on vacay in Kansas City. Cool place. Cool people. Stayed the perfect amount of time to do several cool things and then get home to my babies before the "missing my babies" got too bad. I passed an unusual number of vehicles on fire on the way back (unrelated).

I’m grateful that people know “if I really had assaulted her, why would she still cook me dinner” is an insane misunderstanding of domestic violence that it’s practically an admission of guilt, and I’m glad people are calling it out! But I really don’t want to see an abuser’s smug lying video either

Please don’t share that autoplaying video of Max Miller insisting his wife is lying about his domestic violence. Share articles and links, but the autoplaying video is so triggering for survivors and it’s all over my feed right now.

Batman the animated series made me believe in a formative manner that there’d be a whole Fucking lot more goddamn blimps in my life. But there’s almost no blimps. Every time I see a blimp, I gasp. I shouldn’t have to gasp. Blimp should be around for my life. Where blimp

I was on @funandgamespod.bsky.social talking about the history of James Bond in video games! A huge thank you to @djstormageddon.com and @gnoisegenerator.bsky.social for having me on. Go give it a listen!
