Super curious. Do you watch or listen to anyone out there who's been making stuff on the internet as long as we have been at LoadingReadyRun? For reference we started in October 2003.

Sometimes my browser logs me out of YouTube and I end up on the generic no one logged in home page and it's fucking terrifying. Overly loud/obnoxious thumbnails with people who likely have way too much money, creating entirely forgettable content.

Why yes, I AM old and jaded. Thanks for noticing.

Random question for today. What browser do you use most often?

I think my life would be significantly different if it wasn’t for Mr. Dressup.

Hold up. Surely if we ever do invent AGI (whatever that fuck that even means aside) the super intelligent robot that was trained entirely on all human knowledge would think taking over the planet is wildly cliche no? The real curve ball would be fixing everything. Touché robot overlords.

Every few months I remember that I have the Pokémon TCGP app still installed on my phone so I open a couple packs. Look what I got this morning!

IT’S PIKACHU!!!!

Not too shabby y’all.
Not. Too. Shabby.

I’ve been completely wiped all afternoon, struggling to stay awake, but optimistic cause we only have one more full Dawnguard shift.

Truly seconds ago I realized it is in fact Tuesday, not Wednesday. Oh no.

And beyond me being super strong, Ashton did a hand stand! Emily got slightly tangled up… she’s fine, promise! Would I be laughing otherwise?
And finally we all came together for a cute group photo.

See y’all tomorrow!

Get yourself a photographer who captures your raw strength like @kolin.me does, and friend who believes you can actually balance a heavy ass chair with one finger like Liz.

@desertbus.org is a strange place y’all.
November 17, 2025 at 8:28 PM
Ok. Next year let’s start @desertbus.org on Thursday and take the Tuesday in the middle off.

I’m sleepy. 😴

GIMME YOUR LOCAL GOOD NEWS STORIES!
It was nice hanging with all of you today and guarding the Dawn! Tune in again tomorrow, and don't forgot to submit your local good news stories at goodnews.desertbus.org

1H20M UNTIL @desertbus.org!

We've had a BUNCH of $5 donations before we started, let's see how many more we can get! Head over to desertbus.org and throw $5 in the pot if you can :D
November 14, 2025 at 9:38 PM
Today at 3:00PM we kick off the 19th @desertbus.org.

But I'm already on Dawnguard time and 3:00PM is 8 hours away. Plus, if I go to the office now I'll just be sitting alone in the dark. So why not Punch-A-Chunk? twitch.tv/james_lrr

In an effort to expand on James's annual thing, I will match the next $500 in donations made through desertbus.org/2025/

The total is currently at $9039.

Ok. Holy shit. Plur1bus is fantastic. This is the kind of show that will either execute perfectly, or fall flat on its face. But that’s always where the really great shows start. I’ve got high hopes with Vince Gilligan at the helm.

Oh neat, here’s the actual science as to why I want to yell all the time :P youtu.be/Mo1A45ShcMo

Someone should write a series of novels studying the relationship between Game Makers, Streamers, and Viewers. Cause good lord, what a perfectly fucked up little trifecta we've created over the past 10 years.

There has never been a time when humans can be as angry at as many different things than right now and it’s breaking our brains.

I am a man of my word. Y'all came through in a big way with the $5 donations and I promised a match, and a match you shall get.

If anyone else would like to match my match that would be super neato, but at the very least let's keep those early $5 donations coming! Onward to $10,000!

Been on a bit of Bob Dylan kick recently and I think when I grow up I wanna be a once in a generation genre defining folk singer-songwriter.

So I just gotta learn how to sing... and write songs... and probably play guitar? Should I also pick up a harmonica as well?

We hit our 100th $5 donation last night so I’ll be making the $500 matching donation as promised in the next day or two. If anyone else would like to join me in my matching donation I wouldn’t say no 😛 desertbus.org

And thanks to everyone who’s donated so far! We’re already over $5000!!! 🥳
And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

Happy Halo 2 day y’all! On this day 21 years ago one of the all time GOATs was released. And a few years later we made this video.

At this point I think the reality we crafted in this video might be better than our current one? 😬
