Most likely tonight is gonna be me rambling trying to do a semblance of #gamedev, but I think the impostor syndrome is starting to overtake how I see doing something I enjoyed. I’ll try to get past it, starting at 8PM EST. See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/-SnXwaY...

I played Toyland Tussle by @toylandtussle.bsky.social! I admit I gave up before finishing it, but this was super fun! This was a well-made Cuphead-like that’s well-animated and balanced (I’m just bad at it LMAO), and I can’t wait to see what they do next! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/Vw70lDv7EEc?...

I forgot just how much I hate the Wind Temple. I HATE THAT DUNGEON SO MUCH! This has been the most rage-inducing #Zelda: The Wind Waker stream, and I managed to make progress, but at what cost?

Today's stream is cancelled. I do not feel well, and I think the best thing to do is to just take an extra relaxation day instead of being live while uncomfortable. I'll push the creative stream to next week.
Sorry for cancelling, see you all tomorrow for #Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Some of you have asked me to play #Bioshock (I hope you all can make it!), and it's been over a decade and a half since I last touched this game, so yeah, it's finally time to delve into the ocean and confront the horrors of Rapture! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! youtu.be/qsTYn--UrQQ
