Probably your favourite foul mouthed pro-wrestling twitch streaming Australian pirate. More political than you'd think. https://linktr.ee/fireabroadside

Also looking at you here @robbotron.bsky.social - I know you've got The Dark Room tonight, but come play some Secret Hitler. We can even use the modern version of the rules where you can just openly be a fascist and nobody cares.

If this is still on the cards, I'm in.

@ifycomedy.com - come play a game. I'll even let you pick the game.

Let's goooooooooo

Ahoy folks. At #PAXAUS this weekend? I'm floating with no agenda and open to playing games with new people.

If you're interested in sitting at a table with a random pirate wrestler for a board or TTRPG game, pop a reply here or send me a message and we'll line something up.

I enjoyed packing using a list so I could leave straight from work and then spending the entire day at work thinking cool thoughts like "I know you have the passes on the list, ticked them off as you packed them, and know exactly where in your bag they are, but what if you hallucinated all that?"

Ok.

Without saying the name, what's your favourite video game?

It certainly was an incredible experience. The pure joy of seeing opponents flung far into the stands, of weapons flung at my skull by referees. The absolute nihilistic lows of the futility of existence from the 10th hour onwards.

Is it one I'll seek out again again? Remains to be seen.

The Buccaneer ➡️ PAXAUS @broadside.bsky.social · Jul 19

That 12 hour stream? It's kicking off now. Head on over to twitch.tv/fireabroadside if you want to see me not understand how to play a wrestling game.

12 hours! Wrestling Empire! Let's go!

A screenshot from the game Wrestling Empire. Someone in a hat is sitting behind a desk with a speech bubble reading "You idiots may think you understand this business, but you'll feel differently when you're sat where I am!" The tag team Piracy have been added to the image from a real photo. Badly. There are inexplicably still ring ropes over them, even though there is no ring in the room.

I promised. You delivered. Now I'm delivering.

Since my community were lovely enough to get me a video card, it's coming.

The MDickie masterpiece, Wrestling Empire.

12 hours.

Australia's most ok wrestler takes on the most ok wrestling game.

10am AEST tomorrow.

A image of wrestlers in a wrestling ring, in a screenshot from the game Wrestling Empire. The three in the centre are taken from the screenshot of the game, one wrestler is seated on the shoulders of another, while a third wrestler is jumping from the turnbuckle to deliver a dropkick to the seated wrestler.

In the left, another wrestler dressed as a pirate is very poorly photoshopped from a real photo, delivering a chokeslam.

Hey, remember back when Microsoft put an AI chatbot on Twitter and it got goaded into saying nazi shit and they shut it down?

Amazing how far we've come since then.

The Buccaneer ➡️ PAXAUS @broadside.bsky.social · Jun 27

What's that? I'm about to go live with my eternal opponent The Misift at twitch.tv/fireabroadside and we're going to be talking about old matches and then maybe playing some Dinkum?

It wraps in a very Inscryption way.

Well, after a long weekend that felt more like a month, it was super lovely of the weather to deliver a much needed late night walk in the rain.

The Buccaneer ➡️ PAXAUS @broadside.bsky.social · Apr 1

Well. You got me. I was fooled.

The Buccaneer ➡️ PAXAUS @broadside.bsky.social · Mar 25

Or even just until the drive to work doesn't happen.

I hope all his excited customers are happy with their $15,000 salt lamp. Since he was so bang on.

The perfect pi day joke. No notes.

People paid channel points to make it happen. Subscribers voted for it. It's finally here. It's Hades day. Will I be really too distracted to interact with chat? Probably, yes.

Let's go. It's a first playthrough of Hades, kicking off and going #live in about 30 at twitch.tv/fireabroadside

Oh hey, I haven't watched The Wrestler since before I started training. I wonder if it looks different now I'm a wrestler.

*Watches Randy pocket a fan's sharpie 4 minutes into the movie*

Yeah, that tracks.

Well, now you're at least going to need to get some gear and face paint together.

The Buccaneer ➡️ PAXAUS @broadside.bsky.social · Mar 2

But I did get to hang out with @sonneveld.bsky.social and his crew after he raided, so that was a nice little unexpected softening of my failure to get things done.
