Happy with this response. I checked the code of conduct and they now list the criteria that disqualifies a game for an achievement set, rather than just nebulously listing a set of 4 games that aren't allowed. RA is a really cool concept and I'm glad they didn't bend the knee to shitty folks.

Learning that they made a vocal version of Seeds of Life has absolutely made my night (if you were a wee canadian child watching YTV in the 90s you probably saw some of these CGI movies during the Short Circuitz blocks)

Twitch is actively fucking with me now

The Suggested Collabs listing on the Twitch sidebar, suggesting I collab with either the streamer with the username Andy playing Super Metroid, or collabing with myself with the username AndyAML who is also playing Super Metroid

i was curious to see if electric woodwinds were a thing and it turns out they are! They also look really fucking weird/cool! I'd love to mess around with a digital sax since I used to play in high school but they are around $800 and I don't have that cash to burn atm. Hey Yamaha wanna sponsor me???

A Yamaha YDS-150 digital saxophone. It has a bunch of keys tightly packed on a black body with a brass bell.

A Roland Aerophone electric wind instrument. It has a gray body with black accents and several keys along the top and sides of the instrument.

Thought Pillow deserved a new weapon so I did up a lil PSO DB Saber for her

A character from Cladun X3 with a custom weapon skin made to appear like the DB Saber weapon from Phantasy Star Online. It has blue glowing blades with dark blue and orange accents and abstract yellow text on the blade itself.

In case you're thinking "oh this is just people overreacting to some edgy jokes", you can literally get a pokemon called Furnazi which is a furnace doing a nazi salute. There is zero other way you can interpret this. RetroAchievements giving this shit a platform is absolutely embarassing.

A pokemon named Furnazi from the Pokemon Clover romhack. It resembles a furnace doing a nazi salute.

It's real strange, even the official NISA website news page has been dead for a year outside of announcing their PAX West attendances

I describe elona as a very scary game but like 90% of the time it just feels like this

I got a really funny/dumb stream on deck today, but after last week's connection issues I'm gonna do a quick connection test around when I'd normally go live to make sure I don't start dropping frames again. Assuming the test goes well, stream will go on as normal

(if you have never seen the official re-streaming rules they are absolutely hilarious)

An excerpt from the Street Fighter League's restreaming policy, notably stating that only the timer section from a match may be displayed on your stream and audio from the officially broadcast cannot be used on your stream

Got reminded of the official Capcom Street Fighter League re-streaming rules, so I updated Evo Moment 37 to conform with the new guidelines.
