This comment on the YT upload for the GDQ Subcon run made me smile. Although it does mean that if you meet me along the road you must kill me :(
(Please don't kill me)

We talk about "centering the joy" in game design - focusing on how good it feels to simply move and exist in the world of the game. It occurs to me that Nintendo's success at this might be owed to their history of making physical toys. Easier to center the joy if you study it IRL.

Don't talk to me until I've had coffee in my "Punk Whale from Return to Subcon" mug that my wife got me.

Okay you can talk to me now.

Back to the gym after a vacation week off. Feels good. Get strong. Fight the world or at least the parts of it that suck.

Oops hey so much for starting early. ( I fell asleep )
Join us for a fun GDQ recap stream and some games over here on www.twitch.tv/glitchcat7

Back from GDQ and woooah I got a lot of followers on Twitch. So hey, new friends, I stream *full time* (my sole occupation for 10 years) Monday - Friday with occasional bonus weekend streams. Usually I start around 7:30pm EST but today I'll start a bit earlier so we can have a fun GDQ recap stream.

Mallow and his little buddy that I got from @pockettoku.bsky.social at GDQ. All the artists and indie devs were wonderful.

I figured eventually GDQ would move away from Pittsburgh. It's a personal bummer that both GDQs are about to be bonkers expensive for me. I love the event with all my heart and want to attend, run, or volunteer every single time.

Home is where his feets are.

I treasure our time together, GDQ.
There's never quite enough but it's always what I need. They say "find the others" but I'm glad to be found, myself. Thank you old friends and new.

Fulltime streams are back on tomorrow night. There is much to do and discuss.

It's been a week of greetings
It's been a week of heights.
It's been a week of breakfast
It's been a week of nights.

It's been a week of laughter
It's been a week of pause.
It's been a week of whimsy
It's been a week of cause.

But he said "Let's run and we'll have some fun now, before I melt away."

Glad we all decided that GDQ lasts forever now and we all live here and have fun every day forever. It's a good decision for us.

Everything is shiny, inside and out. My heart is a light above the rooftops of the city. We are beautiful and strong, one and all.

Before every GDQ run I always listen to this song. Not because I'm from a land down under, but because it speaks to the feelings I have at the moment - a stranger away from home who finds others like himself and through that, finds joy.

Can't you hear the thunder?

My GDQ run is tomorrow around 2:20 pm EST. I'm a little nervous, I always am. It will go well, it always does. All week I've been trying to try new things, make new friends, new activities, new foods. Next new thing to try is not to worry so much.

Won my first Kuso Grande round playing "Primitive Woman" for NES. Inverse relationship between the quality of the platforming physics and the quality of fun! I'm still alive for the next round!
January 6, 2026 at 6:22 PM
I qualified for Kuso Grande and my first match is this afternoon in a few hours! Looking forward to trying my luck.
It's also lucky how many wonderful folks I've gotten to meet so far this week. Let's keep up this energy.

Hi new follow friends! Come say hi at GDQ if you're here.
I wanted to share this one again today. Some reading material for you for a quiet moment whenever. This is a short story I wrote about video games, sentience, characters, gods, and the meaning of life.

It's not empty.
No.
It's full of possibilities.

About to be posting a lot from AGDQ. I'm looking forward to being on 3 couches in addition to my own run. Please feel free to say hi, I enjoy meeting new friends!

2025 was the year I quit smoking, bought a house, and went to the gym 123 times. I finished over 100 canvasses and streamed full time all year.
I'm bad at congratulating myself, or feeling like I'm enough - always pushing myself to work more. But I'm trying it out just for a day. Then back to work!
