Check out L33tStr33t Boys' new single "Yuri the Only One" if you get the chance. Sound of the summer.

every once in a while, i remember that Ultima Online is still running, and has a "Screenshots" page with a grand total of nine images to represent the game that all look like this

they've never been particularly great lyricists, but i feel like a song about how "drinking cool water is really cool (water)" is a bit beyond the pale even for them. water is for surfing, not for drinking!!! 🤬

reminder that the beach boy's "cool, cool water" is one of the most fucking meandering, vacuous songs of all time (lyrically at the very least lol)

this shouldn't be a particularly hot take, but anyone you see willfully ignoring that kirk advocated for exactly the kind of violence that ultimately claimed his evil life / who's posturing at being noble for saying "my thoughts are with him and his family" are fucking clowns and cowards

what i'm really trying to say is, i wish our audience mostly consisted of fellow melancholic queers who find our shtick amusing lol

i guess what i'm trying to say is, i wish our audience were broader than just dweebs who wanna see us play pre-2000s video games and pretend like we're having a great time. we need more folk who appreciate us for Us -- who can get behind a cranky old enby committed to putting on a performance for em

meanwhile, we pour ourselves into making sure every single minute of our streams is packed dense with jokes, criticisms, and engagement with our audience. and for what? so that we can deal with doofuses on youtube who are mad we don't respect fucking Super Mario Kart enough, i guess??

it's very funny to consider that folk in our sphere who are inordinately more popular than us get there by just dryly playing old garbage that all seem to blend together, for an audience that just likes seeing said old garbage that they've already played being played by someone else lol

it's hard work being a largely retro-focused streamer while also believing that most old games are mostly bad, but it's honest work

when i suffer infinitely less stomach distress and genuinely enjoy the taste more eating a dozen dirt-cheap-ass sliders from Krystal's, that's probably not a great reflection on the current state of the burger game

was craving a burger yesterday on my lunch break and wound up getting Wendy's for the first time in a long time. my stomach has been suffering for it ever since, and it wasn't even a particularly good meal. guess i'm taking another years-long break from them lol

you're right: it's wild to debate which is better when both consoles are bad and have no good games. a real "lesser of two evils" situation if you ask me

BROKE: Referring to the SNES / Genesis era of consoles as either the "16-bit" or "4th" generation. 🫤

WOKE: Referring to the SNES / Genesis era as the "flop era" of consoles. 😎

hilarious in hindsight how a party member in a PS1 JRPG i never even got around to finishing back in 1999 irrevocably impacted "my type" to the extent that it did tbqh imho lmfao

always reaffirming to remember that every other content creator i've ever had beef with has been the one in the wrong, and that i am always the one in the right. i have never been incorrect and never will be. it's a heavy burden being infallible, but i carry that weight proudly. you're welcome 💪

thank god we have the likes of charkie around to counteract me with positive energy and enthusiasm -- to contrast with how burnt out and negative i am at this point. it's a time-tested comedy dynamic, and it's conveniently also our reality haha
