So the guy who went to #VCFSoCal with me spotted these Glitchbits pins and there was a Cube one.

You know me.

I had to have it.

Also.

I have a special thing for West this year. Not the final name but.

Also if you were at VCF SoCal I’m totally down to be mutuals on here. Damn near everyone I talked to was friggin awesome.

And I really appreciate everyone who stopped to take a selfie with Rootie! You made her very happy. She promises not to hit people with a hammer.

And that’s #VCFSoCal in the books. What a time.

I’ll definitely have more to say about it later. Short of that little fun occurrence earlier, it was a blast.
February 16, 2026 at 3:28 AM
Yeah uh I’m just coming off having seen this and dealing with it (catching the kid in the act and reporting it to the showrunners) but man. This makes me not want to bother with AIM for West this year. At least on my machines.
February 15, 2026 at 11:52 PM
At #VCFSoCal?

Miss AIM?

Want to try and score a blind date for V-day weekend (this is a joke)

Come on down to table E51 and chat like it’s 2003 again.

(PPC.IO and the Luggables exhibit are also participating!)

#VCFSoCal day 2.

Prayers, ibuprofen, and aspirin

So we found a battery bombed newton at the VCF free pile and it came with a fun surprise.

…still sealed, 26 years old at least.

Here’s my Flickr album for #VCFSoCal 2026, so far. If you want to keep up.

I would say today was a good day.

Getting my Cube looked upon by the one and only Action Retro.

For those at #VCFSoCal who wanna get slugged:

There is a Rootie Instax sitting on the arcade machine in the exhibitor hall. Still there as of 3:20pm. Yours for the taking if you want a little photo of a cute ‘lil sea slug.

Start of day 1.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay

#VCFSoCal
February 14, 2026 at 4:45 PM
Sigh.

So it goes, I was informed that “my” cat, Autumn, passed away earlier today. She was my ex-roommate’s cat but she kinda bound herself to me and from 2012-2024 we were besties. She had to get rehomed due to the 2024 meds but we knew where she was and visited now and then.
February 14, 2026 at 7:50 AM
So yeah: if you see one of these on your table at #VCFSoCal, you’ve been slugged! I promise it’s nothing bad. Just a wholesome reminder of the occasion and Rootie hopes you cherish it as much as she had fun doing it.
February 14, 2026 at 4:05 AM
Well, at least nothing died on the way here. #VCFSoCal
February 14, 2026 at 12:53 AM
On the road.

Goooood mooooooorning

It is time for #VCFSoCal day 0

Hoping for no fun surprises.

And here I was earlier today saying “come on Epic, give the blessing already. I know it’s not a hard game to get but come onnn”

And they did.

I’ll side eye Epic for many an other thing they’ve done but this is a cool move. Especially since you can’t legitimately buy it anymore.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is now available for free.

...well, I mean, you probably could've grabbed a GOG offline installer out the back of a truck earlier, but NOW it's Official/Legally Free and has the in-development community patch packed in for ongoing support. www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut...

Once again. If you do this, you are literally doing worse than just doing nothing at all. The question asked was intended for people who are actually familiar with the problem. If you’re not the target audience, them’s the breaks. Do not fucking insert yourself into it by using AI.

Rootie and Chicken Sandwich are packed for #VCFSoCal

This has me legitimately curious. I’ve tried to go back and play the original trilogy and I really can’t get back into it after having played 2018 and Ragnarok.

Maybe it’s just that I enjoy the Norse aesthetic way, way more than the Greek aesthetic.

I know I’m politicking a bit here but this is why I can’t stand Car Guys™. They’re all cheering this on. They legit don’t care about how their actions affect everyone else they share this planet with.
