A Supernatural! Saturday stream awaits!

We return to Withering Rooms, where we've been betrayed and captured by the masked man, in a dream. Unfortunately for him, we learned witchcraft. Come by to see if we can overcome the curse energy and escape!

Starts at 5pm ET on www.twitch.tv/calamitynolan

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I started almost a year ago but last night I finally managed to get Hollow Knight's "true" ending without being hit or damaged even once!

Check out the run at www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Zd....

You can follow at twitch.tv/kyleanderror13 to hang out while I do runs in the future! (Silksong next...)

Thanks everyone who joined, followed, and stuck with us through the technical difficulties!

I had a great time with Bookslap in Resident Evil Revelations 2, despite periodically losing all control of my character. But we managed to grin and bear it, with Monster Plush of the Week Plaid Bear!

Bye!

it's "gadzooks!"' time to shine

I feel like "yikes!" has fully atrophied as a generic exclamation of surprise and is now entirely an expression of distaste for others' actions

I do think overall shiny pokemon is a terrible mechanic because it curses impressionable players with stats madness

but also...

sometimes there are good color palettes on a pokemon, and I would like that as a plush

Nolan "Scare Bear" Filter @calamitynolan.bsky.social · 3d

hey quick question why don't they make shiny versions of every pokemon plush

Thanks everyone who joined!

Made it through a couple more levels, and only got unreasonably mad at the camera and colliders a couple times! Can't wait to see how the rest of the game holds up.

yeah they're all pretty different!

and the most expensive is $30. you can almost buy all of them for the price of one AAA game

Nolan "Scare Bear" Filter @calamitynolan.bsky.social · 4d
