God almighty some things never change…

My decade old, second hand MSI GE62 is somehow still kicking, though!

Me walking around TwitchCon today looking at all this shiny new equipment while, in reality, my streaming laptop is being held together with duct tape and a prayer every time I go live…

Like to add that, after I get back to the hotel tonight, I’ll probably be blowing myself up no less than 100 times to figure out how to Wind Bomb after watching this live.

Great job, @glubbers.bsky.social!

If Lucario is Link, then is it Linkcario or Lunk? 🤔

I normally don’t brave #TwitchCon crowds (or really ANY con) on a Saturday…. but the back to back runs of #Sonic Adventure 2 and #BOTW from @gamesdonequick.com?

Too good to not drop in for and watch.

Kind of like SDCC, the LVCC was bag-free as well when I went to Vegas in 2023.

As their swag bag/badge pickup giveaway, it was a #Twitch purple mini-bag cell phone holder which turned out to be oddly helpful that whole weekend.

Forgot to post this up last night… This year’s #TwitchCon swag bag contents.

Pretty underwhelming- not that they ever were necessarily OVERwhelming. But at least I can definitely use the mini-tote bag itself once I get home. 😬

A tribe swap, a fake game, AND the cursed Kele blue tribe still exists when the dust settles?

Not going to lie- this being included MAY have tipped the scales in my scramble for a replacement Switch since it was included in the listing…

It's ok our brains don't run on default settings.
It's ok if you're struggling as long as you're still here with us.
If you feel alone, reach out to help or connect with another person.

T-minus 1 week to #TwitchCon and a glorious long weekend back in San Diego!

I feel for Jake last night getting med-evac’d. Going out via snake bite is a tough way to go.

Mother Nature is no joke but I was VERY happy to see he made it back to see his kid be born!

Good morning to everyone who locked in and went to work today even though they wanted to stay home burrito themselves in a blanket and play Pokémon all day, and to them only.

This made me genuinely laugh this AM after watching that entire challenge unfold from the beginning the other day…
