This bassline wasn't leaving me alone, so I exorcised it. Now, I fling "Tangent Shuffle" into the void and walk away (back to sleep). www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zq9... #chiptune

this pc-98 cover i did didn't get nearly enough eyes on it. link to full thing below 💚
That idea from 2 weeks ago morphed into this track, which I finally finished tonight. "Splintered Fortress" could be described as a rapid journey through the stages of an NES game that never existed. What kind of game would this be? www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ9f... #chiptune

Of course, the moment I need to go outside for a few hours is the moment my brain starts composing a chiptune in 6/4 time with metal riffs. Will I even remember it when I get back? Walking past a cacophony of street-level stores with music blasting from them makes this a little challenging. 😅
Slime2 is here! It's real! Welcome to Slime2, a desktop app for managing and customizing local overlays and bots for your streams, available on Linux, Windows, and macOS! And it's free! You can get it here: slime2.stream

This may be a long shot, but with Summerchin starting in about a month, I wonder how much closer to 2K followers on Twitch we can get before the event. If there is such a thing as "long-form streams" that try to be thorough and hopefully also cozy...I suppose this is what I'm aiming for at least.
Gentoo Rescue is now 1 year old! 🎉 I hate to do the announcement of an announcement thing, but *hint* Thinky Direct *nudge* is coming up 🐧 There's also a Steam announcement: store.steampowered.com/news/app/283... #puzzlegame #announcement #anniversary #indiegamedev
Ugh, this is actually sickening. I found out that a website used my voice to create an AI voice soundboard thing where people can generate words using the likeness of my voice. They linked it to my twitch. I found that other people are on here too. I submit a takedown request, but this is so gross
🎉 Yes, it's true! Thinky Direct is returning for 2026, with a whole new line-up of exclusive trailers and reveals for the most amazing thinky games. Keep an eye out for more info very soon! Puzzle sicko content creators and journalists, reach out! More info below 👇
Shout out to @fyda.tech for not only being the first person I've seen to beat the final level of ZENOMATRIX in the intended way, but for also solving the puzzle in a much "cleaner" way than than even me. www.twitch.tv/videos/27564...

Thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday for the Eyemother's first appearance. I appreciate all the kind words and enthusiasm for this... weird thing that I poured a lot of work into! Despite some scuff, I still had a lovely evening. <3
Finally, after three weeks of work on a new avatar and one week of work on a new background, everything is now in place. A new form is arriving this week.
Can't set the duration of notes? Just arpeggiate to fill in the gaps. (This may or may not be real advice.) Herb coded a cool toy to let chatters play musical notes via his stream bot, and I had fun putting together a little bit of Europe's "The Final Countdown" to test it out.
Tonight's coding stream was unhinged.
#NicoDrawsEveryMon A chipper metal eyeball Magnemite for a chiptune eyeball artist, @fyda.tech! Thank you so much for the Ko-fi!

This is the kind of intrusive thought I get when playing video games (in this case, Hollow Knight: Silksong). Here I am, hours later, following through:
I just got a DM from someone that pirated my game. They said (paraphrasing) that with hindsight the game was absolutely worth the price, and were asking my preferred avenue for them to buy it (Steam vs Itch). I've gotten a lot of great DMs from players, but this one is probably my favorite.
Thinky Awards 2025 nominations have been announced, and Gentoo Rescue has been nominated for: 🐧 Game of the Year 🐧 Best Challenging Game 🐧 Best Puzzle Design Please go vote here: thinkygames.com/events/award...
I'm glad I decided to revisit Mario is Missing! for DOS. It has been delightfully cursed. This time around, I discovered that Luigi can take a photo at each of the historical sites. I was so tickled by the game's rendition of the Louvre that I had to make this...
The original games at the core of Order of the Sinking Star are: * The Heroes of Sokoban series: by @ostroffj.bsky.social * The Promesst series: by @nothings.bsky.social * Mirror Isles: by me * Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes: by me
Marki is an incredibly sweet and thoughtful streamer who is thorough in his exploration of games new and old. He tackles the sorts of completionist challenges many people would shy away from, and does this in such a patient, calming, and pleasant manner that the time simply flies.
Good mornafterning, Bluesky. My name is Marki and I am a videogame librarian variety streamer on Twitch. I mostly stream slow-paced full completion playthroughs and wish to provide a calm and welcoming environment in which others can unwind. You are more than welcome in our library, friends. 💜
I'm back home just in time for the Twitch 2025 recaps. Phew! This was my 3rd year of streaming. Thank you for all of the support. This has been an exhausting year, and I am grateful for all the company, encouragement, and distraction while I tried to play some video games.
