Myself in an Extra Life t-shirt that says "Play Games, Heal Kids" in a heart made of pixel blocks. I'm giving a double thumbs up while at an event in a warehouse for a sponsor/partner in this years fundraising.

OK, but to be fair, its the one genre where its impossible to distinguish if a chatbot brain vomited a country mad lib or a suburban poser in a cowboy hat thinks the word "truck" has real depth

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience

My wife built me a backdrop and made a curtain to go on it to help me feel more comfortable when streaming.

Go go chroma key technology!

Feeling excited for (my) Extra Life Game Day on Saturday, November 15th @ ~10am EST.

@devolverdigital.com Time to announce another game to come out the same day... Or delay something. Preferably the former than the latter.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.

Also, after spending a while on a nice Mastodon instance, it really sucks only having 280 again...

Playing through The Outer Worlds finally after seeing the new one in action (not that it matters, will kinda run like arse on my desktop) and had to dump ~45 min of gameplay as I hadn't made a save in a while or before making a potentially big decision.

Big shoutout to @retrogamecorps.com for their guide on getting a *LEGAL* PS2 BIOS dump to use with PCSX2 (link below) so now I can dump my PS2 games that have sat in their cases for ~15 years or so.

With more and more game developers creating AI slop, or just using AI generation for stupid things in their games, we need more ways to avoid them.

I forgot how fun the introduction/reveal of the Founders and Dominion was. Man, still can't believe I slept on this show for so long.

Really enjoying this second watch through.
