More Hades 2 streaming! I'm either gonna do the final Vow of Rivals to see how the final bosses work, or I'm gonna work on the harder Chaos Trials. Haven't decided which yet, so come join me and push me in either direction!

Dear every game dev who stashes little goodies on top of buildings or crates to reward idiots who must explore every nook and cranny: I appreciate you.

At 8pm tonight I'm going to start the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Super Metroid Randomizer! It randomizes stuff for both games across both games & gives you doors that traverse between them. Sounds like it'll be somewhere between amazing and frustrating that is just right for streaming 😅

Have never been more aware of how brittle and paper-thin fascist belief systems are than I have the past year. These guys tremble at a couple drops of rain.
Between the Islamophobia, the anti-Semitism, the racism, and the homophobia -- it must be so bizarre to be afraid of basically everyone, all the time

Thinking of doing some kind of retro game randomizer (other than FF4 FE, sorry). Maybe a Zelda? I dunno, anyone have any recommendations?

BG3 is DONE! Now for the second half of Double Credits Day, Hades 2! Come joins me for these last two runs (hopefully I don’t die on either of them 😅)
Then tonight's stream will be Hades 2, which is just the beginning of the long journey with that game, but it is still rolling the credits! This will begin around 8:30pm and last until I'm done. Hope you'll come join me for my Double Credits Day over on Twitch!

I finished BG3! Been a minute since I wept openly on stream, that was nice. Sadly I didn’t get through the epilogue, so my stream will begin early tonight so I can do that before I move on to Hades 2! 😁
Today is Double Credits Day! I'm going to roll credits on two of the best games I have ever played in two streams on the same day! First up is Baldur's Gate 3, which marks the end of an amazing long journey with this truly excellent game. That will run today from noon-4pm or so

I played the demo for Marvel Cosmic Invasion! It feels awesome, which is to be expected from the folks behind TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. My team was Nova and She-Hulk, who played differently enough for me to not remotely get bored for those two levels. Can’t wait for the full release 😁
