Been a while since my last stream, but I'm back with a new game, Pragmata! Been looking forward to this one and excited to play through it. twitch.tv/vertz505

Thanks to @fluffybommel.bsky.social redeeming a new speedrun, I now get to learn ... Link: The Faces of Evil for the Phillips CD-i twitch.tv/vertz505

Will be live fairly soon for the Big 20 race, which starts at 12pm ET -- looking like a 4 to 5 hour run for me if things go well, sub 4 if things go amazingly. www.twitch.tv/vertz505

How willing are you to suffer through Mega Man Zero? I love that game, but I imagine an intense run!

Finally put a bunch of stickers my wife has gotten for me to use!

I'm playing on Switch 2, entirely handheld, and the battle frame rate is sometimes atrocious. Even outside of battle, it can suddenly drop - the scene after the first Lynx fight was very slow. May be better docked.

Time for Big 20 practice! I've learned 9/20 games so far, and it's time to tackle the tough ones. twitch.tv/vertz505

Twitter is a hell hole, of course, but it's sad to see so many people blindly defend an ICE agent who 1) is an absolute idiot for putting himself near the car, and 2) is so clearly at fault it's painful. I really hope that the state authorities can hold him accountable for murdering Renee.

After a weird set of ALttPR runs this week, it's time to try out Demon's Crest 100% ! I know the route, but can I do the things? We'll see! www.twitch.tv/vertz505

Back-to-back Rando streams! Another step ladder race, this time inverted with starting flute. www.twitch.tv/vertz505

Joining an ALttPR Step Ladder race -- Open Boots this time! Race starts at 10am ET www.twitch.tv/vertz505

Joining a multiworld, and doing my part with Chrono Trigger! www.twitch.tv/vertz505

Hey you! If you like JRPGs, you should check this one out! It's one of my favorite games of the year and has a lot to offer.

The last one seems risky, but gotta try new things in the new year 🎉

Orphen: Scion of Sorcery - the worst PS2 launch title? YouTube video by Vertz505

Not entirely sure why, but it's been cool anyway -- my Orphen: Scion of Sorcery (PS2) video has randomly gotten a ton more views over the last few weeks! I had a lot of fun making this one and felt a bit disheartened when it didn't do well, so a sudden surge is nice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lFN...

I hope you enjoy it if you get it! One of my favorite games this decade, to be honest. It's very special!

Yup, visual novel! If you haven't played Slay the Princess by the same developers, that's an amazing experience.

I finished Prime 4. Need some time to process and write about whatever that was.... Guess that's what a nearly 20 year wait gets you these days.

The Pragmata demo is great YouTube video by Vertz505

I checked out the new Pragmata demo, and I think it's worth your time! Check out my quick review here: youtu.be/2G-p9O4tbOw

lol

lmao even

This looked pretty rough, but it's still pretty crazy for them to basically soft cancel this? If they're refunding preorders, this seems like they are done lol

Loved the game!

My game ranking, specifically discussing Quartet from @somethingclassic.bsky.social , was interrupted by a mini cat battle: www.twitch.tv/vertz505/cli...

Twelve 2025 games, ranked YouTube video by Vertz505

Here is my ranking of the twelve new releases I played this year! Really good year for games. There are a few hot takes in here related to the common Game of the Year contenders. 2nd place may shock you!

It's time to rank the new games I played in 2025! Putting 12 games in order with some hot takes thrown in for good measure. www.twitch.tv/vertz505

Tomorrow morning will be a combination of things! Probably ~10am ET?

* Ranking the new games I played this year (gotta undercut the Game Awards, right?). I played 12 new games, several big releases. Some hot takes.

* Chrono Trigger playthrough continues with the Reptite Lair, then Magus Castle.

Speedruns, then Chrono Trigger re-play today! Starting with Forza Horizon 2, then Super Mario World. www.twitch.tv/vertz505

Developers really don't trust gamers to figure out how to play their games. It's extremely natural to see a message about obtaining a new map *and then open the map* -- I don't need to be told to do that.

While I'm enjoying Prime 4 overall, I really don't like how frequently NPCs insert themselves. I'm hoping it improves. This clip (spoilers) shows me checking my map in a new area, thinking about a route, and then ... being forced to look at it again by MacKenzie. www.twitch.tv/vertz505/cli...
