STREAM NEWS:
Starting in December, my schedule at work will shift my days off.
This means I have a static weekend of sorts, but it's going to be a Sunday/Monday thing. Which means more static days to stream!
Gunpla builds, Backlog Bustin, and other stuff is on the table.
Stay tuned.

It's officially November, which means I've been told that I *have* to stream for my birthday. I know some Plum Champs have been plotting. 👀
So come join me for a short birthday stream on Thursday, November 13th at 6pm EST! Maybe this year I'll remember my mic and headset. 😅

Reading the sentence "Rush to tour in 2026 " was not something I was ever expecting to read.
Am I happy to have another chance to see them live again? Yes.
Am I conflicted about them doing so without Neil (skill of his successor notwithstanding)? Also yes.
Regardless, the news is welcome.

I used to see Weird Al all the time in the aughts. I really fell off seeing him somewhere in the '10s
Finally saw him this week, and it's genuinely impressive that a man in his mid 60s can maintain the frantic energy for a whole show. Much less a whole tour.
Puddles was also great, too. ❤️

sega dreamcast turns 26 today
26 years ago today, @sega-west.bsky.social released their final console in the US.
I refuse to let the impact it had on the gaming market fade away, because it laid the foundation for things modern gamers take for granted.
Keep thinking, Dreamcast.

Congrats to @teamcherry.bsky.social on the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong!
Silksong is Silknow, and very likely much more of a satisfying payoff than Shenmue fans had for Shenmue III.
Enjoy the game, y'all. :)

He's done! My first gunpla build is a success!
@plumnemui.bsky.social was a wonderful guide every step of the way, and was able to manage my unique brand of chaos.
If you missed it, I revealed that I picked up a new kit! We played a couple rounds of YDKJ!
Thanks, y'all!

It was hot, I'm not as spry as I once was, and it was a good day to stay in the shade. But it was nice to visit an old friend today. It was a short visit, but I often enjoy my visits to @kingsislandpr.bsky.social .
Perfect day at the park, even if my old bones protested.

It's been a tough week this week, but at least I have a trip to my home amusement park on the docket tomorrow. 🎢

I fired up and finished Super Metroid for the first time over the weekend.
Took me far too long to get around to it, but I understand why this classic gets the praise it gets.
Beating this means I've beat all 5 in some way. But I want Mercury Steam to go ham and remake 1, 3, & 4.
Why not? 🤷♂️

Losing pieces is apparently part of the gunpla experience, but none so terrifying as truly losing it to the void.
....only to find it nestled in some nearby footwear that you checked more than once. 🫠
Glad I'll be able to finish the build fully, but man.
Gotta be careful with those nippers.

All things considered this was a pretty productive stream! Save for an unfortunate loss of a part to the void, @plumnemui.bsky.social and I had a good time yet again!
There should be enough for one more stream.
