It's a lot of doom and gloom these couple of first days of the year, yet seeing the Arab League of Misfits prototype getting close to the finish line with draft music, voiceover and effects gave me so much hope. I'm so thankful for the people behind our project.

I am glad to see countless US folks now reaching the conclusion that voting "Democrat no matter what" is not acceptable when they're supporting murder or genocide - the US was always going to implode into fascism unless the Democratic party was forced to be better than "we're not the Republicans".

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

As a kid we had a small toshiba tv that we neglected after purchasing the xbox 360. Idk why but i decided to hook the xbox to it and then i was so amazed by how much the graphics had improved and by the frame rate. I still want to own the same toshiba mini tv but i can't find it 😂
