The mercurial capybaratuber! Still figuring myself and this whole vtuber thing out. Stick around for some hopefully cozy vibes.

We're back with some more Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon! Two dungeons, three characters, and a couple of magic powers down, and a handful of each to go!

Stream is on! I'm going to be playing one of my favorite N64 games (and on of my favorite games of all time): Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon! If you haven't seen it before, I can guarantee a silly but incredibly fun time!

Hi folks! I just tossed a monthly update onto my ko-fi. I've been posting updates about art, game dev, streaming, and other stuff on there; it's not intended to be "worth" $5, but if you'd like to buy a capybara a cup of coffee, you now have some reading to go with it!

Screen capture of a segment of a ko-fi post. A paragraph of text is cut off at the top, while a picture of a rough pixel game is cut off on the bottom. The visible text of the paragraph states: "... value somewhere. Slow going since I'm still pretty new to all this, but it's slowly picking up. Turns out that when you practice something regularly, you improve at it! Who knew!"

Happy Halloween! 'Tis the season... for vampire hunting! Taking one last stab at a Classicvania before the end of the month with some Castlevania: Rondo of Blood!

Stream over! I didn't beat Castlevania, but I did learn a lot! Particularly, I learned that the natural enemy of the capybara is the flea man. Devious creature, not a cozy thought in its head.

We sent the love over to @razaldia.bsky.social, who is checking out Grunn! Surely nothing bad will happen!

I don't level up very quickly, but it's always very satisfying when I do!

I made a quiche! Quick, easy, healthy, cheap, and tasty... not sure why I eat anything else, really.

Stream is over! We might not have killed the *most* bosses, but we had fun and learned a lot, which is what really matters! Thank you to @elareneperidot.bsky.social for joining, it was super fun!

We passed the love onto @malphasvtuber.bsky.social, who's currently in the Call of Duty trenches!

We're finally firing up Donkey Kong Country 3! And streaming on a Tuesday instead of cancelling at the last minute! Will the novelties never end? Come find out!

Cover art of Donkey Kong Country 3. The title text says, "Dixie Kong's Double Trouble". Dixie and Kiddie Kong are on a raft, flying down a river. Kiddie is reaching for a banana while Dixie shields her eyes, keeping lookout. There are kremlings and pirate flags in the background.

Turns out when I don't have a schedule, I... don't stream. So here's a next week's schedule! Oh snap, look, a collab with @elareneperidot.bsky.social on Thursday! Holy cow! It's gonna be awesome!

Other than that... DKC3, finally! Please note the odd times and days due to IRL stuff. See you then!

It took a try or two... or twelve... but Donkey Kong Country 2 is DONE! Ended early due to scrunglevoice, but we'll be moving on to DKC3 on Sunday!

Thank you to fellow capytuber @molondrongo.bsky.social for the raid, it was great to see you! We passed it on to @razaldia.bsky.social with some RDR2!

(oops I'm late) Krashing through the end of Donkey Kong Country 2, then starting up DKC 3 if we have time!

Schedule for this week! Sorry, IRL stuff is getting in the way on Tuesday again, but we'll be back to 3x per week soon! 'til then... more Donkey Kong Country 2, followed by 3 once we're done!

We're cruising our way through DKC2! Hitting some gnarly speedbumps, but we're taking things on one world at a time. Still, having a blast!

Huge thanks to @dunniebara.bsky.social for the raid; it was great having you here! We passed the love on to @gammachris.bsky.social with some Crash Bandicoot!

No stream today, sorry! I've been taking care of a lot of IRL stuff the past few days and haven't been getting enough sleep, and I need an evening to just veg out and go to bed early. Might throw in a guerilla stream before Sunday, but no promises. Thanks for understanding; see you soon!

Donkey Kong Country has been kong-quered! Took me far longer than it should have, but we got there! We rolled right along and started Donkey Kong Country 2, which is already going DRAMATICALLY more smoothly.

We passed the raid onto @dunniebara.bsky.social, who is playing... a game. >_> Go join him!

Hi folks! In the interest of having monetization options outside of Twitch, I added a donors-only post to my Ko-Fi. It's not much, just updates on some projects I have in progress, future plans, and some screenshots of what I have going on.

ko-fi.com/perkyplaysga...

#KofiExclusiveChallenge
A partial screenshot of PerkyPlaysGames' Ko-Fi post. The top shows the end of a paragraph stating, "I wasn't able to finish it in time for my capybara "debut", so I just used the picture itself, but I'd like to finish my drawing at some point. Work in progress and original pic:". The bottom shows a portion of a digital drawing in progress of an onsen, with partially-colored outlines of a pillar, fences, roof, and water source.

I have been humbled. I went into Donkey Kong Country with all the swagger of a Dark Souls speedrunner. I didn't know. This game chewed me up, spit me out, and asked for seconds. It's not even that hard, I'm just learning how bad I am at retro platformers! Can't wait for round two on Sunday!
An edit of the "ok ima fight these thoughts" meme. In the top left, a boxer with a capybara vtuber's head with an angry expression says "ok ima fight Donkey Kong Country". In the bottom is the same capybara boxer with a dazed expression stating, "damn Donkey Kong Country got hands".

Let's get started with some Donkey Kong Country! I got all three games locked up and ready to go; let's see how many RetroAchievements I can knock out on the way!
