Hello new people! I'm Lance, a Seattle based Twitch affiliate streamer who loves streaming indie games with his wife.

If you're a smaller game dev making an interesting new game, let me know! I want to support you!

TWO. WINS. AWAY!

It's much better when you can slow it down in replay. Just cutting straight to it in live play with no warning is motion sickness city.

He simply does not believe that the bottom corners of the strike zone are real.

Three games away!!!

I'm sorry your eyes were subjected to that.

Lance Icarus @lanceicarus.bsky.social · 2d

Yes.

Fun fact: She's originally a Spawn character that Marvel acquired a long time ago. This is what she originally looked like.

Definitely some choice changes made for Rivals.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

Also every game is a miracle.

Lance Icarus @lanceicarus.bsky.social · 2d

The more and more you see the game dev process the more you realize 90% of criticism people have for "the devs" was a decision made three pay levels above anyone physically working on the game.

And a majority of the time made by someone from a different company than the devs.

People might think this is way too much of a stretch, but when the Mariners were rallying in the 15th with victory in sight, who did they keep cutting to on the big screen? Humpy the salmon jumping up and down with the fans.

He was our representative that inning, the fish that assured victory.

Bryan Woo: So invested in the Salmon Run he's ready to hop over the rail.

Josh Naylor: Absolutely refuses to acknowledge the humanoid fish people in the outfield for fear that he is the only one that can see them.

So hard Sudo. So hard.

Good afternoon. My body is broken and my voice is gone but the Seattle Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship so it's all worth it.
