It's nice to wake up and discover a fascist dead. Good riddance to Charlie Kirk.

That's right, folks. I am joining The Nickscast for the Race Against Time supporting Trans Lifeline. To call this an important time for this support is the greatest understatement I think I've ever made.

Join us for Sundays in the Valley!

Hey folks. We have a major windstorm here today that keeps knocking out the power. So I will not be streaming tonight. I'll see you all tomorrow instead since @nt3rp.io isn't streaming.

The Video Game History Foundation is about to launch a digital library! For years, we've been building a collection of magazines, behind-the-scenes documents, and other unique pieces of gaming history, and now we're opening it up to YOU. Whether you're an author, a YouTuber, or just a curious fan, the VGHF Library will change the game for video game history research. Come see what we've been building — and get a first peek at some lost media we're sharing for the first time.

Okay! MAGFest panel is finally on the schedule! It's at... 2pm Thursday!

I need all you early birds to cram into this room, because I'm going to show you some amazing stuff

I'm into doing challenge runs and speedruns. I like playing rpgs more than any other games, and I enjoy the nostalgia of retro rpgs that I played when I was growing up the most. The banner artwork on my channel is courtesy of grimmzero1386@gmail.com
