Recently obsessed with the 1991 game "Another World" released on SNES in 1992 as "Out of this World". Picked it up based purely on its beautiful vibes and I've found that it's one of the most beautiful and elegant cinematic platformers ever created. A wonderous fish from a small obscure pond.

I fucking hate this so much and it's terrifying to think that I might have to just stop streaming - the career I love that makes up half of the income I'm surviving on. I've hung on so long. It's scary to stare down an extinction comet. We'll see what comes to pass. I won't go down without a fight.
Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
Creation, achievement, successes. The common idea is that it's like you're building a structure. Brick by brick. Oftentimes though, it feels more like keeping a campfire going. Log by log consumed. Go out and chop some more. Isn't the fire nice? Let's cook. But I cannot sit long. The night is dark.
Had this professionally framed. It'll be on display at the Arts League Philadelphia starting August 7th as part of their summer collage exhibition. (And for sale too.) It's my first time ever exhibiting work in a gallery. If you're in the area stop by and take pictures cause I can't go in person.
Submitted some art to a gallery exhibition. Didn't get in. I'm not supposed to be upset about this. Stop it. Stop. Quit it. Stop caring. Stop.
Pity me not for I am rich in sunflowers that I grew myself.
Had a fantastic time talkin' Kaizo and gaming news with @monolithfiji.bsky.social for this excellent podcast. Also got to shout out a lot of friends and their projects as well! Check it out, tell yer friends.

Guess what? You don't have to be performative or even mention being nonbinary. It's okay if it's a completely trivial incidental thing in your life. It doesn't make you any less valid. Not everyone is empowered by being loud. Some prefer to not let others in on that aspect of themselves. Respect it.
Home is where the kitty is. Thanks for all the beauty, SGDQ. I've made it home safely and though I'm carrying all these memories the weight is light. I'm sure our hearts will guide us back to AGDQ, and not a moment too soon.
My flight home has me leaving at 4AM. I'll be in the lobby all night to chill and talk with folks. Please come say hi if you want. Leaving this one makes me sad, man. AGDQ when? I'll stop the world and melt with you.
GDQ ending always makes me sad. It's mathematically impossible to get as much time as I want with everyone but I try to make our moments count. Let's rock it tonight. Come up and check out Rebounder at the indie booth to get a glimpse of the future.
Dram world 3 will be an amazing run, a show stopper of the highest order. Please make sure to donate so we can unlock it as a bonus game, you will NOT be disappointed!
At approximately 9:45pm eastern, I will be commentating Super Dram World 3 at SGDQ. It’s an amazing SMW hack, and Revolug is absolutely gonna crush it on stage. Definitely think you should tune in to this one twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
ICYMI That very cool simultaneous two-player Kaizo hack by CircleFriendo "Super Mario and Luigi World: Brotherhood" seen at SGDQ is now up on SMW Central: smwc.me/s/42669
Oh apparently I'm the #1 seed right now in Tetris qualifiers? Huh. Seems I've earned the right to get beat up by gods tomorrow. Let's go.
I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you to tune in for the SMW relay tonight on sgdq. It's going to be a fantastic event! I'm on the couch with the wonderful @carrarium.bsky.social and CircleFriendo! 4 fantastic racers will have to cooperate to take down the challenges this time don't miss it!!
I'm having a beautiful time at GDQ, of course, and if I'm not posting a ton it's just because I'm out here trying to live in the moment - maybe time will stop completely!
Travel anxieties suck but I know there's a lot of good people and good games and adventures at the end of the road. Looking forward to seeing everybody at SGDQ. Time to spin my traveling song yet again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fWw...

Grand Theft what now? I duno man I already own thousands of vidya games to play. Eighty dollars buys me a lot of pinball games and groceries. Grand Theft Go to the Polls or whatever. Grand Theft deez nuts.
Found this at the library book sale in the "self help" section.
