First day back at work, and I already want to get back on stream with all of you.
Finishing Horizon Forbidden West next week, Mutant Football League the Week after.
Got some great games that I can’t wait to add to stream. What do you want to see?

Sorry to everyone who stopped by my #XBox Partner Showcase stream today. Changed encoders cause Streamelements causing me more headaches, and some settings were off.
Damn computers.
Made some changes and should be good now.

Sorry for the lack of streams this week. This time of year always seems to be the worst for me. And I always feel I can't be of good use to others if I can't take care of myself first.
Time to fire up today!!! Good things coming.

Hey everyone. I’m a little under the weather tonight. Don’t need to be playing with tissues on stream. (Phrasing…)
I’ll be back on twitch Tuesday. Might take a trip to Springfield.
In the meantime, check out @gametimeart.bsky.social later tonight.

One Million Percent Correct!!!
Some of us were saying this from the day his press conference happened, but too many CFL fans wanted to be faux-outraged - as is the way of things on the internet in 2025.
CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston has explicitly said that US expansion isn’t on the table, that they are hearing from Canadian possibilities, and that going to 4 downs isn’t happening.
Can we please calm the fuck down about the phantom Americanization of the CFL and just enjoy the sport?

Spent the evening creating my new 2K arena and titles for Backbreaker Pro Wrestling starting in January.
I am a horrible procrastinator, so this feels like an accomplishment.
Anyone wants to see it you can look up Backbreaker or miketheref in creations.

Best episode of wrestling TV I have seen in the 2020’s
#AEW Blood and Guts is STILL in the top 5 trends of BlueSky, nearly 20 hours after it began.
It really WAS like a free PPV on live TV! This usually happens after a big PPV. 🙌

This was awesome! It seems that Bang Bang Gang have a truly magical ability to make a great tag unit out of any combo of their wrestlers, because Austin and Juice clicked. FTR lost in a shock, and that makes their story more intriguing.

Needed a detox day from work tonight. So I grabbed my controller and turned on MLB the Show. Amazing how something like that can make you relax.
Pretty much done the game at this point, but always good to go back to once in a while.
