The top left of a macOS Discord window, but it says "gaming" beneath the stoplight buttons

the word 'gaming' is lodged in my top left of my discord window

my original ds lite is the only nintendo device i've owned that has ever completely stopped functioning. i had zero desire to fix it. pathetic ds

i consider this a win for all 30-somethings trying to get into rhythm games. i will now return to never scoreposting

Sound Voltex Nabla cabinet, displaying "FORCE EVOLUTION!! 6 - CORAL CLASS UP!!"

after years, i've finally broken through the sound voltex 16 volforce wall

16th biggest tiltify fundraiser of 2025, but the #1 coolest thing i've contributed to in my career

least favorite was KB. i genuinely do not know how you're intended to do this fight, especially on this difficulty. so i jumped on them and prayed. hate this dude

favorite fight was YW. although it was responsible for nearly half of the deaths of my file, i ended up loving the design of the fight. extremely challenging yet very fair, a perfect test of bumpslashing skills

Steam achievement, "I Beat Han-Tani's Challenge", completed by Karsh on January 9, 2026 at 8:38PM. The achievement description reads "WHAAT? Send the devs a pic of your playtime/deaths and we'll indust you into a hall of fame."

@hantani.bsky.social i finally completed the @angelineera.bsky.social han-tani challenge. i am now the world's 6th most powerful bumpslasher

@angelineera.bsky.social i'm up to probably 200 deaths to YW on a han-tani challenge run. i finally beat them.. sort of. this is the true #AngelineEraExperience

An isolated photo of an enormous burger from Kirby Air Riders, now available as a Nintendo Switch 2 user icon. The UI says "GOT IT!" because I most certainly did

my favorite kirby character

Kirby Air Ride patch notes, reading: "Balance Adjustments The performance of a rider [Rick] has been adjusted. Affected modes: City Trial/Air Ride Lowered HP and Defense. Lowered the power of the Rip-Roaring Rick Special."

evidently i wasn't the only one who wanted to destroy rick. i apologize to rick, the only character adjusted in today's kirby air riders patch

deploy rick annihilation beam

Image of my Kirby Air Riders license card, with title "Temporary Rick". On the card, Kirby is aiming a partially-charged laser cannon at Rick. Rick is sweating because he knows that he is the Temporary Rick.

kirby air riders' rick is too cool and lovable. to preserve the balance of the game, kirby must eliminate rick

i'll see what i can do..

they should've called it hollow knight 2, because of how often the game has made me shout "2 of them??"

that would've been smarter, but nope. we cut out the mouth pixels and put a phone in there

Slack post: "i was thinking about some way of visualizing TTS on the dog plush, ranging from "motor that moves the dog??" to "LEDs or something idk", and had a dumb idea: attach a spare phone or ipad mini to the dog, load up a page connected to the TTS relay, and animate the two mouth pixels in sync with the TTS" with an attached image of the Annoying Dog Pillow Plush with a phone over its mouth, saying "hi" with two pixels lit up in one frame

there are a million things i want to talk about, but instead i'll first take credit for the latest in IRL vtuber tech, the synced TTS dog mouth

i was responsible for the UNDERTALE 10th Anniversary stream tech and memories project. truly thankful to be part of something so important to so many, even as a humble internet janitor

I'm starting to believe good code architecture is bad because it lets you keep blowing up scope. If your code turns into spaghetti by the end of the month you have more incentive to make it releasable sooner

said this as a joke but honestly,,

trip report, one week in: it's brutal, but i think i'm through the worst of it

absolute rock bottom was monday, featuring the hour where i laid on the floor, sweating, after a 102 fever. but sweat can also beneficial, as pocari sweat has been my lifeblood through this mess

it's been five years, figured i should finally try out 'COVID'. i got the 'RAZOR THROAT' variant. i do not recommend it

damn. i hope you really let them have it, after what they've done

fwiw the demo didn't use steam cloud, so make sure to check ~\AppData\Local\DELTARUNE. hopefully it's there..

pleased to announce that for DELTARUNE Chapters 3-4, i was asked to reprise my role as –Website–. i hope you enjoy my performance!

The final screen of Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, with several of the main characters accompanying the text "Congratulations! The survey of Planet Mira is 100% complete!"

i'm free from xenoblade x, after a mere 102 hours

SirSamVimes on Something Awful: "it's been really funny watching a poster go from "I hate this game" to "I have complicated feelings about this game" to "I'm getting a tattoo of a symbol from this game""

the blue prince experience

i figured i'd be done with blue prince by now, but it keeps going. the puzzles don't stop. genuinely impressive how it continues to add new layers, even 40 hours deep

i put down my 60+ hour xenoblade x save in favor of blue prince. mira can wait a bit, gotta solve these puzzles while they're fresh

the game is best when you go in with the same mindset as outer wilds—try to explore something new, one run at a time. be patient, you will discover things gradually

for those starting out and feeling repulsed by the "roguelike".. embrace the randomness. always prioritize new rooms. leave yourself a path or two. schreier's tips are a great starting point bsky.app/profile/jaso...
