Sorry for the politics crash out, and especially sorry to everyone outside the US, I’m just beside myself that the “opposition” is so…idk culpable?

Anyway, here’s a picture of Crazy Taxi on the Sega Dreamcast

This is maybe corny but I’m genuinely so, so, so honored to be a background guy in Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. If you know me, you know I absolutely adore the work the great folks at @digitaleclipse.bsky.social do and MKLK is a towering achievement. @danamrich.bsky.social you all are awesome.

It’s Happy Hour

Ok so for today’s migraine-infused stream I’m gonna just read a couple Master System manuals. Golvellius, Action Fighter, Black Belt? Maybe even Marksman Shooting & Trap Shooting??? It’s a lot but let’s see where the hour takes us.

12 PM Pacific
Today!

Hey Kev, you heard Vice President Cheney died? Yeah, big news, big news. Yeah apparently the police are questioning Lorena Bobbit after learning that Dick’s gone

I’m in this video as two powerful new characters:

- “Player 2’s hands”
- “person in the back absolutely flipping out”

I didn’t get to dress up ultimately (though I did have a box of wine in a backpack for other thirsty parents) but my older daughter coraline dressed up as jinx!

I just posted in that wig once as a little bit of timeline horror lol

Happy Halloween! Did you do anything?

Photos don’t do it justice but we’ve got a street a few blocks away that’s become the best Halloween street I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s feels like it’s out of a movie and it’s just incredible

I’ve been lucky enough to get a code for Silver Bullet from the good folks at @flynnsarcade.bsky.social and it’s a lot of fun - great art and fun vibes and if you like gallery shooters with some unique enemy types I think you’ll enjoy it!

There’s this gambling app called Kalshi and the ads on YouTube are these bizarre AI generated ones and now they’re advertising the chance to bet on..Donald Trump getting a third term. We gotta shut down these apps man, just brain rot central

If you check out this manual, each team has a sort of confusing lineup of players. Sometimes they’re themed (Crosby, Stills and Nash are all players on the Toronto Condors) but it’s exceptionally spotty. I appreciate that kind of soft commitment lol

I just can’t believe the LA Surfers and Toronto Condors delivered such a classic tonight!
