Discord is switching to teen-by-default settings next month, with face scanning or ID upload required for full access.

Unrelated - this past October, Discord suffered a data breach where 70,000 government IDs and info was stolen.

Cancelling todays stream. Pickup for furniture is still ages away potentially so can't sit comfortably until it's done.

Really liked a lot of the Nintendo Direct partner showcase today. Bomberman collection is so good!

It was a pleasure being a part of this event again. Getting to speak to so many, watch so many amazing runs, it's fantastic.

I still feel a little imposter syndromey with it sometimes, but I appreciate how fun, welcoming and inspiring this community is.

I can't wait for Green
It is time ...

I’m really so happy to get this in an event and successfully pull it off

It’s stressful doing this kind of run I have no idea why I put myself through it sometimes

At UKSG Red now. Run is at 16:12 ish gmt. Am i excited? Yes. Am i nervous? Yes. Katana Zero is a scary game. I'll get it down but honestly this has a high chance to mess me up. Terrified is a good view
January 31, 2026 at 9:15 AM
Likely was in part for that. The series took a completely different direction after its half way point which I know some really liked - but i didn't enjoy 2003 personally after that. The bits that were done faithfully were great though.

Finally finished watched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I read the Manga years ago but finally got this done. Damn they did it so well. Sure it was a rushed start but the rest was so good. It really is one of the best shounen series/anime series you can find.

I do feel for the highguard devs, the game shouldn't have been in that spot for TGAs, but sounds like Keighly forced it there. Some mentioned already but a shadowdrop would've probably had a better reaction.

Ultimately this genre doesn't help - but the pressure hurts it more

I'll be a sap at the moment. This time last year I was still finding what I wanted to do with streams and while some of that has not changed. I'm just so incredibly humbled for these numbers watching, following etc. I don't deserve it but i appreciate it all the same.

UKSG prep, last stream before Red. Sonic 3D Blast run then Katana ZERO practice!

But I've noticed I have to think about using social media now too and don't miss not being on it all the time. Is not being on here boosting productivity? Not so much yet. But getting there
January 24, 2026 at 1:09 PM
I've been so stuck in a bubble the last few weeks with thints I've not really looked at much else. I've kept up with some anime and things but I'm so out of whack with other bits it's like waking up to a new world every time I check social media.
January 24, 2026 at 1:08 PM
Yeah we thought the same after as well. It definitely is a small thing all things considered but it did catch us off guard
January 18, 2026 at 10:54 PM
Ermm. Well that's definitely a name

When you read the full thing it looks like would should've been removed and it'd be fine but yeah...
