Believe it or not, this is a completely valid and viable way to play Poinpy.

Pretty sure this is the third pre-order in a row that Best Buy hasn't bothered to ship in time to arrive on launch day. On the upside, it'll actually get here before the weekend this time. Regardless, SPLOOOOON

I mean, I choose to reserve my memory for games I actually want to play, but this game that I already clicked the "Ignore" button on is exactly what I'm talking about.

Never mind, I found it:

'Tis the hour of Unusual Alfred

What arguably made my heart sink the most was that there's now… blatant product placement? There's an obvious Frosted Flakes ad in this mural at Dirt Yards and power-ups with the Gatorade logo slapped on them. I guess you gotta make your money somewhere, but I expected better from a $40 kids game.

IT'S FINALLY HERE 🥹

While we're pulling receipts on Pepper, I felt like bringing up this time in 2023 when he • Found a couple of TikTok videos I made about him a year before despite blocking him there • DMed me on Twitter asking to talk • Ignored everything I had to say and led by explaining his political views

Could use a thought cleanse right about now 🩵

Hope you're keeping cool!

In lighter news, I'm extra proud to be a Tidal user today with their new AI policy!

When I talk about @gamersoutreach.org and how they spread "the joy of gaming," this is exactly the kind of joy I mean. Shoutout to everyone who donated during the #VTuberSummerSlam, on my stream or otherwise!

One game down! It was a blowout with Angela dominating on the mound, Achmed hitting the cycle, and Sidney pulling off a called-shot grand slam. Taking a break to set up for a performance of John Fogerty's "Centerfield" and ready myself for round two!!

I don't anticipate buying a whole lot this year, but welcome back, Steam sale dwagon!!

TOMORROW! It's once again time to help kids in need find joy in gaming through one of my own childhood faves, but unlike how I've ever played it before. I'm taking Team Sandy to Sandy Flats for a few rounds of Backyard Baseball with Crowd control, all to support the lovely work at Gamers Outreach!!

Personally I wish I could go grey faster. Screw it, I want the full Taylor Hicks.

Closing out my night with a gay popsicle

Hey Linux-savvy friends, any idea why this keeps happening to me? No matter which distros I try, I keep getting this weird false hover behavior. Device is a Lenovo Yoga with a touch display, for reference.

I'm genuinely surprised we haven't seen any of the big gaming accessory companies put out mouse grips for the Switch 2 Joy-Cons yet. Using them as mice isn't particularly comfortable, but I got a friend to 3D print these for me and they make a huge difference!

3 years too late @bsky.app

10 years ago last week, I came out for the first time. I'd never felt so confident in myself and so at peace with the world. 10 years ago today, that all disappeared in an instant. Never forget the 49 of our own we lost at Pulse. Keep fighting the good fight so we may all live in peace.

Good morning, it's your friend from Maine! If you're hear to criticize us about our state elections and you don't live here, I have one simple request:

On the other hand, BOOOOO they didn't say the thing.

A few selections from what I drew in the in-game art classes, while I'm at it:

Going through my old save data before I have to start fresh on Wednesday and once again I'm in awe from the bisexual lighting cave

This week marks the 5th anniversary of my favorite game of all time! I'm personally due for a replay and I can't wait to show it off to a whole new crowd. Join me on stream this month as I revisit Chicory: A Colorful Tale!!

10) Courage is such an iconic little scrimblo bimblo. I just want to keep this skrunkly little pink guy to be safe and happy.

9) The sheer number of timeless Pokémon designs introduced in these games is unparalleled

8) The way they depict howling as wolves singing to each other is inspired and more media should take notes
