Watch here: youtu.be/2QT5IItyRzA
I was live for a bit and realized how tired I am after being up at 7:30 and filming podcasts back to back today. So I stopped the livestream and will do a livestream tomorrow. I felt myself falling asleep on stream.😂 Goodnight, you guys, see you tomorrow at 7:00 pm!

Dinner was AMAZING! I’m stuffed, both with food and memories! 🩷

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so grateful for all of you, and to be healthy this time of year (normally I'm sick). Tonight's menu includes smoked turkey, Baked Brie with cranberries (without nuts), a purple cabbage salad, and stuffing. OH, and for dessert, Peach cobbler!

Steam intentionally killing an old, respected, and beloved decade old indie game studio through bullshit policy is fucking wild
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

No hits in the Pokémon packs, but the Spider-Man bundle was GOLD! The entire Spider-Man collection is amazing!

I hit the jackpot at Walmart! The odds were ever in my favor with Pokémon and Magic the Gathering 🤌🏼
I’ll share any pulls I get!

In Elden Ring, Ranni the Witch's actual body has red hair, unlike the doll in which her soul resides.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

My script for my Ranni the Witches questline walkthrough is DONE! Filming starts tomorrow. I can't wait for you all to watch this video!
