In 2022 I held a charity stream supporting Bondi2Berry and dementia research. We raised $3k AUD. Two years ago our first #StreamToRemember raised $11k and last year we hit $14k! If you stream on #Twitch, come and help us smash that this year? Nov 14-17. streamtoremember.com/signup25

Folks! I have to listen to my tired old bones and not stream again today. BUT I'm speedrunning with the absolutely wonderful @frilioth.bsky.social in two days, raising money for @alzheimersresearchuk.org. We'll be LOCKED IN, which means we'll be awful, but having a lot of fun! See you there?

It begins. I'm losing my voice, so it won't be a huge stream, but let's spend some time together. Happy Pride Month everyone! 🌈💜 twitch.tv/richardthornton
Join us this time tomorrow as our corner of Twitch celebrates #PrideMonth. It's not lost on me how privileged I am as a cis white man and that I will never face what so many in the LGBTQIA+ community do just to exist. My heart, arms, eyes and ears are open. Hope to see you there.

I can't stream, but I CAN smash through some editing! Could it be a THIRD Border Hoarder episode in a week? You bet. I'm tired of hunting creepers, so I built a music disc farm, then hunted for some elusive flora instead. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAqu...

I have been belted by a virus and then pneumonia over the last few weeks. Doc told me to get actual rest, so I'm going to have to cancel this steam again I'm sorry. I'm really missing hanging out with you all. Loving my Border Hoarder series but chat is where it's at. ❤️

This is a common sight in our area these days, but every single time I see them, I can't help but think Jeremy Irons is around here somewhere plotting to rob a bank!

After all of the effort I put into finding the rarest block in Minecraft, the way it happens has to be the most unsatisfying! 🙃 Lots happening in this ep of Boarder Hoarder - we're really closing in on completion now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=191f...

And here it is. The long lost episode 10 of Border Hoarder! This is one of eps where everything falls apart so quickly... I find the stronghold and kill the big black bird with ease, but then trigger a hilarious series of stupid mistakes. Enjoy this one! youtu.be/ROYrEf2GmQE

TFW you finish editing and rendering a new YouTube episode to find another one you edited, rendered, watched with the kids, then completely forgot about... I guess this is a two-episode week of Border Hoarder folks! Sorry it wasn't out earlier. 🥴

Well, having been sick for a couple of weeks, I finally went to the doctor and I have some sort of pneumonia going on. Off for more tests. Sadly I'm going to have to skip this stream. Hope everyone at TwitchCon Rotterdam has a ball and you all have a great weekend wherever you are!

Once again, my Friday stream will be on Saturday, tomorrow will be today, today will be yesterday and I will hopefully see you there... Border Hoarder is nearing completion and I desperately need creepers, so you can imagine how that will go!!

One of my favourite parts of streaming is when things go wrong. When I opened my Border Hoarder #Minecraft world on stream over the weekend it was borked. Chat was amazing, immediately researching the issue and suggesting fixes. I'm so grateful for the diversity of our community!

It's Saturday Night. Live from Melbourne!
Is this a bonus stream? A catch-up stream? Who knows?! But let's see if we can find ourselves a big black bird in #Minecraft Border Hoarder.

If this doesn't make you nervous, you've never seen me play Minecraft!
I've spent the day with my sick kiddo and want to stream, so let's make some big bada booms. See you in about 2.5 hours.

As an Aussie, you'd think I'd be ok with spiders. But I'm not. Even in Minecraft...

I have a silk touch pick and I'm not afraid to use it! But, as it turns out, I am afraid of a few things and scream so much my computer crashes... This episode of Border Hoarder is just a little more unhinged than usual. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=66_r...

Well I'm about to go back to the dentist for the *second* time today, ugh, but I'm planning a relaxed stream with a unique Lego birthday gift I was given. It's a pretty raw setup, but will be a cosy spot to hang out for a bit! 4ish hours from now. twitch.tv/richardthornton

This might just be the most I have achieved in a single Minecraft episode... Villager breeder, auto carrot farm, mini trading hall and an iron farm! Not much border movement, but silk touch has been acquired!!! Oh and there's some fun music in this one. youtu.be/JXgu490UhKs

This week's episode of Border Hoarder probably has the single highest number of unique items I'll collect in this entire play-through... I'm dying over here! Oh and I rename Pillager Patrols, "Pillager Parades" and I think that should stick. K thx bye. youtu.be/gCKP2coWYJU

Well today's plans have fallen apart! I'm off to start a root canal at short notice, so won't get to my stream I'm afraid! I'll be joining my mate @frilioth.bsky.social on Sunday though for some speedrunning to support Alzheimer's Research UK... Come and see if we can beat our best time!
