Man, what a Game Award show that was. I loved it but man I also feel so conflicted because while E33 deserved everything it got, games like Dispatch, Peak, and hell, even Sonic Racing: Crosswords and more should have won something too. A brutal year this year, but for all the right reasons, through.

And it happened. They caved.

Dick Durbin of Illinois
Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
Jacky Rosen of Nevada
John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Tim Kaine of Virginia
Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire

Shame on you all.

Am I crazy?

A funding bill might get passed tonight that would fund gov till Jan 31, fund SNAP & Vet affairs till then, and allow a separate vote on ACA subsidiaries.

1. Theres already emerg. funds for SNAP, so this means nothing
2. Just a vote, w/ NO guarantee? WTF???

This deal is absolute shit.

Yo Twitch, TwitchCon, and Dan Clancy,

Yall in need of a new event manager to plan your M&Gs? Cus your setup is NOT ok. Security, format, communication, every part of its execution failed. Heck, i'd give you some pointers FOR FREE that would cost you NOTHING that would help improve M&Gs SOOO much.

I swear, every time I go to Twitch Con it really makes me want to get back into streaming again, even if it is just for a while… again. I do really love everything about it (streaming) and Twitch Con helps to remind me that.

I'm so fucking done man.

All of these people spending DAYS flaming Hasan is WILD.

Animal abuse is absoluety NOT ok. But how about you put a fraction of that effort towards also giving a crap about YOUR country.

Everything in the US is on fire becuase of the orange turd, but naw, F Hasan, right?

It feels like we are in that moment right before Order 66 was executed in Star Wars. Trump is about to execute Order 2025 and the birth of the orange empire is about to begin.

I say this half jokingly but I also say it believing something really bad is going to happen soon and I’m scared…

What happened to Charlie Kirk is wrong... and yet, I cant help but feel only apathy at his death. I hate this timeline. Just so much anger and hate right now. And its probably going to get even worst now.

The saying, "It's going to get worse before it gets better" comes to mind today sadly.

The sudden boost Stop Killing Games has gotten is awesome.

Sad that we needed a villain to make it happen, but hey, I'll take it.
July 2, 2025 at 8:36 PM
Let's talk about Stop Killing Games, because it feels like that train has entirely derailed due to unnecessary infighting.

Let me list some points I think we can all agree with:

1. The killing of games is generally bad.

2. The idea(s) and the movement behind Stop Killing Games are a good thing.

It'd be crazy if a whole bunch of people RSVP'd for Trump's military parade... and then didn't show up.

But that would be crazyyyyyyyyyy.

Something I would neverrrrr do!!! NEVER!

...

Anyway, I hope you have a great day today. 🙂

All the recent talk of "Crossing the line" or whatever is hilarious to me.

As if Trump and each one of his criminal goon circle haven't already crossed the metaphorical line a 1 million times over by now.

What a joke.

P.S. Hey ICE, please and kindly, get the f**k out of LA.

I’m gunna be a stinky gamer for a moment.

The Arc Raiders hype-up leading up to today has been crazy:
Countdown timer to June 6th
Geoff posting a image of Scrappy
And other small hints

It left me thinking we would get an open beta, shadow drop, or something.

Instead we got a new countdown, bruh.
June 7, 2025 at 3:20 AM
This very accurately matches my whole journey with Arc Raiders up to this point.

I didn't think I would like it.
I ended up loving it.
I really, really miss it.

Even if Bungie/Sony were to flush the C-suite entirely right now (which should have happened years ago), it's probably too late.

The executives will fly away in their golden parachutes, while the devs suffer from the exec's actions. It's absolutely disgusting.

This June is going to be insane for gaming, there are so many releases it would take another post to list just some of them... so let me name a few:

Also, with June being THEE gaming month (rip E3), there's a good chance we'll get some playtests and shadow drops as well... *cough* ... Arc Raiders?

If you're feeling:
-Stressed
-Anxious
-Insecure
-and/or, Self-doubt
Know you are not alone... cus I'm feeling all of those things as well, lol.

Wild times we're livin in, but just gotta keep our heads up and keep on moving forward, one step at a time, together.

Can we reach 100 "once in a lifetime historical events" before the 100th day? That would would be crazzzzzzzy right? 🫠

Hey, atleast paying $500 for the Switch 2 + Mario Kart is looking like a possibility again, so yay for that, I guess?

I’ve been stuck at my local Microcenter for 8 HOURS NOW (and counting) getting my computer fixed. They initially said it should be fixed by the afternoon (3-5 hours). Now they are saying it might not get fixed today. It’s an hour and a half drive to and from Microcenter for me btw.

Was going to start my Dark Souls journey today but wanted to update my BIOS first (due to some CPU voltage issues) and well… my computer is borked now. Just a black screen now. Yay.

Seriously though, can we just start the general strike/revolt now? Like, it’s not going to get any better, so why wait till it gets MUCH worst?
April 4, 2025 at 5:34 PM
Nintendo Switch 2 preorders have been delayed so Nintendo can evaluate the impacts of the tariffs.

Cool, guess I’m not getting the Switch 2 then. Are we winning yet? Cus holy f**k does it feel like we are losing.
April 4, 2025 at 4:21 PM
So umm, I beat Fall Guys...

Now what?
April 4, 2025 at 3:39 AM
I hate how gooooooooooood the Switch 2 direct was.

Rip my wallet, big time.

Spolilers below!!!
April 2, 2025 at 4:54 PM
I think it might be time for me to get back into streaming.

At least it will help distract myself from all the baloney going on right now. Heck maybe I’ll actually post about cool gaming stuff again lol.

And maybe.. I’ll finally start a series I’ve been putting off since forever…

A “dark” one. :)
