CraigGame - Twitch Week 2: The Arrows Continue #ITLOnline2026

Been stepping on arrows last week & we're not stopping now www.twitch.tv/craiggame

*complains about randomiser in TGM1*
*Proceeds to spend the next few days playing the original SEGA Tetris with all it's other bullshit & even worse RNG system*
... I never said I wasn't a hypocrite

Full run for the record

After over 100 hours on & off for a while, I finally got the GM grade in TGM1 & now I feel qualified enough to give my opinion on the game as someone who grew up primarily on guideline
Fuck this game & the RNG system it rode on

CraigGame - Twitch Mixolumia TE New Update

Gonna stream some blocks. Going over the new changes to Mixolumia TE
www.twitch.tv/craiggame

It's been a while
New Endless options as well as Master mode rebalancing coming soon to Mixolumia TE

Can confirm the game runs perfectly on Switch 2
Truly the most performance-taxing game the S2 can handle

-Passing a Lvl 17 chart after this break ✅

Imagine being forced to PFC this chart to unlock it
Konami have always hated their players

Played some SMX on monday after 8 months away
Little annoyed at the drop in avgs in places but understandable given how long it's been since last session
Fun fact; over half of the 35 Wild charts added since Update No51 (June 7 '24) are lower end Wild difficulties (21 & lower)
More high-end wild pls

CraigGame - Twitch More Mixo TE. Why did I make this so hard?

www.twitch.tv/craiggame
Block game
Master mode, maybe some Endless TE

I've seen what my future holds & I want no part in it
So I'm just gonna try achieve what I can until I'm satisfied or until I hit that wall that is impossible to overcome

If this still doesn't address the whole "meaningful value outside of this small video-game bubble" bit, that's because aside from the potential health gains there isn't anything that does
Frankly, I've given up on it
After years of adapting to my social discrepancies, I'm still too autistic for this

Aside from that, I have a video idea where I attempt to improve one of the worst board games with a deck of playing cards
I won't elaborate further other than it doesn't seem like it's been done before (surprising given how popular the game is) though search results are obfuscated by similar games

In terms of other creative endeavours, I still have a Godot course that I've been sitting on for a while which I should really start working through, with the intention of working on my own project, even if is just remaking Mixolumia in Godot with no intention of releasing it publicly

Mixolumia:
Want to do some more streams, even if its just more Tournament Edition stuff. Also want to do more competitive stuff, even if it's just one-off exhibitions just to show off the viability of competitive Mixo more
Intend to add replays to TE. That will likely be the last update planned

Overall weight goal remains the same as back in 2023 when I first publicly attempted weight loss:
160lb (which will definitely not happen unless I go about it in an unsustainable way)
25% body fat
All I'm going to do is see how close I can get & not get too disheartened when I inevitably fall short

Next: Diet
I like food too much tbh
I think I end up comfort eating much more than I'd like to admit which is why the weight-loss in prev years wasn't as efficient as I hoped. Short of calorie-counting, stat-checking & returning to intermittent fasting I honestly don't know what else to do tbh

This year I want to revisit a challenge I set myself back in 2020:
1st-5th Mix PFC
(this time with DDR timing instead of ITG)
Alongside that I have other goals:
-lvl 15 + 16 PFC
-passing a lvl 17 chart after this break
-passing a lvl 18/19 chart for the first time
Lastly:
-Endymion CSP pass (lmao)

Which brings me to DDR
Since SMX fell through in July (due to Seaton Carew not maintaining their cab) I haven't played much DDR up until December thanks to A20+ finally getting a UK release

Ultimately, given that my weight has see-sawed back & forth over the last few years, maintaining motivation to reduce & sustain a consistent weight is going to be a major factor if I ultimately want to return to a healthy weight, or at least a weight that I feel that I can perform well in

First: Health
As of this morning my weight is 239lbs (37.8% Body Fat). This not only undoes any efforts done in 2023 but also any efforts up to June '19 at a minimum (that's as far back as stats go)
In short, I'm a fat bastard

This year, I'm hoping to manage my time more efficiently & attempt to be more productive in creative endeavours, as well as re-focus my efforts in previously neglected areas both in gaming (specifically rhythm games, as I fell off mid-way through the year) and RL (i.e. Exercise & diet)

Last year I felt kind of adrift, particularly towards the end of the year (even if I was acting & being productive then). Finding any level of purposefulness while simultaneously having meaningful value outside of this small video-game bubble has been fruitless & perhaps a non-starter of a concept

Happy Holidays🎄
Finally got around to hosting Mixolumia: TE somewhere that isn't the Mixolumia discord (at long last)
Enjoy
