To any new followers: thank you & welcome! I spend my day job doing neat IT things, but please also note that I spend a lot of time here discussing video games, niche VG soundtracks, spandex-suited heroes, & karate bugmen on motorcycles, so temper your expectations accordingly.

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

I'll unfortunately be canceling most of my streams this week; I'm dealing with a bit too much right now. (see my last post for context)

That said, the one stream that's still happening should be fun! You can watch six of us go through the Last Wish raid in Destiny 2 at twitch.tv/wmgso on Sunday

My schedule for Twitch streams during the week of 2025 October 27th. I will be playing Destiny 2's Last Wish raid on the WMGSO Twitch channel on Sunday at 6:30p EDT. I will not be streaming any other day this week.

Today was the first time in my life, as best I can remember, that I threw up due to stress instead of sickness

Was not fun, would not recommend

Any retro-gamer who used emulators in the 90's NEEDS to see this awesome interview @zophar.bsky.social just posted with the creator of ZSNES, zsKnight! I really enjoyed this one: www.retrorgb.com/zophar-inter...

We're going live right now! Join us for... well, honestly, I have no idea what to expect, because Jackbox 11 is brand new, so these minigames are all gonna be pretty fresh to everyone

Jackbox Party Pack 11 just released today, and we’re playing it on Sunday! 🥳 Join the stream as an audience member to trick or treat (they’re likely expecting the former) our players. 😈

That said, I will still be hanging out for the WMGSO stream on Sunday where we play the brand new Jackbox Party Pack 11, so if you wanna catch *one* stream this week I'm involved in, that will still be an option

Jarel Jones @arrowned.bsky.social · 11d

I was not able to stream last night (as some of you probably noticed when I didn't actually go live), and I'm gonna have to cancel Saturday's stream too. I've just got way too much going on, so this week was mostly a wash from a personal standpoint!

I am *extremely* not a fan of Twitch sending notifications that look like go live messages for streams you’re not following but are actually just global notifs in disguise

Global notification from Twitch about Justin Bieber going live on stream, pretending to look like a standard go live notification from a channel you’re following, whether you’ve followed his particular channel or not

Gonna have to miss yet another day of streaming, I’ve just got too much on the docket. Hopefully catch some of y’all on Thursday!

OverClocked ReMix (We ♥ video game music!) 🎮🎵 @ocremix.org · 23d

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

Next week's schedule! I'll be playing FFXVI this coming Monday as well as the following one. The week after that (Mon 10/27) will likely be a Genshin week since there will be plenty of new content with patch 6.1's release. twitch.tv/AnArrowReborn

Schedule for the AnArrowReborn stream on Twitch during the week of 2025 October 13th. I will be playing Final Fantasy XVI on Monday at 7:30p EDT, Metroid Prime 3 on Thursday at 7:30p EDT, and Skies of Arcadia Legends on Saturday at 4:00p EDT. I will not be streaming on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday of that week.
