Hoping my friends to the north are safe, and I'm hoping to see as many of you as I can when I visit in April for VGM Con!

Don't forget, carry salt with you. It melts ice.

I thought taking an extra day off this weekend (because I have to work next Saturday) would be relaxing...

Nope. Between yet another murder by federal agents up north, as well as the fire alarm going off in my building yesterday, this weekend has kinda sucked.

It was so nice to finally meet you, even if it was just for a short time!

Yes, day off tomorrow. OMG I still need it. This mag kicked my ass.

MAG was incredible, and I'm incredibly sad that it's over...

What I am not sad about is I'm home with my kitty, and I slept in my own bed last night. For more than just a few hours.

And I have tomorrow off too.

I actually have something for you. I'll try to find you after TC

Weird. I know him too!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the subtle homestar secret theme this year...

Been awhile. Again. Sitting at the vgmcom both at magfest before rehearsal starts at 3. Hope everyone is as well as they can be...

Man.... Trivia night 3 of 10 for the month of May... There's a LOT of live trivia for me this month.

Also sad I can't get up to MSP next Friday to see the TCGSO play their show, thanks to a gig of my own (not VGM related).

Also, stay tuned, some new pics coming in, and they are awesome!

Why am I not surprised Tim has a Danganronpa fic....

Shit. That either means special trip out East (that I probably can't afford atm), OR I have to wait until January....

Yep. There go your posting privileges....

A digital painting of Sprigatito. It is relaxing on a cat tower, staring at you.

Cozy tower

The number of meetings that could've been an email is a number that is far too great....

Aw fuck!
Even though it's late...

HAP BIRF!!!

PurpleLink33 - Twitch Archipelago night!

Trivia night tonight (last one until June)!
Then I randomize... something.

BTW, you also don't have to fully understand something to simply respect someone's wishes. #TransRights

For those struggling with the recent news and how to react to it, here's a great way to think about it now:

ProtonJon is an entertainment brand.
Claire is the woman behind it, and she has been for the past 18 years.

Love you @protonjon.bsky.social, and I wish peace for you moving forward.

VGM Con is always a great time, it's just short, that's all. All conventions are short. But someone is definitely happy I'm home...

Thanks for a great time music nerds. See you next year

I'm really happy that I'm playing more again. And that there are recordings to prove it (although Ed made the Contra bones sound REALLY good) youtu.be/bpaCAu5dYv4?...

My home (for over 90% of my life).

And it's not for fucking sale.

I've been playing a lot of Metroid Dread Randomizer, and I've been getting *kinda* good at it. Latest run was a PB by quite a bit... Blue time is my RTA, started at the point I pressed the button to start, and ended at when the cut scene took me toward the ship. Holy fuck.

Let's play some trivia, and then some Metroid Dread Rando! www.twitch.tv/purplelink33

That track has no gat damn business going that hard.... Wow. Awesome competition last night!

From what I saw on the bracket, not only was Coconut Mall eliminated in Round 1, it was eliminated by the eventual champion!

Sitting here at Gary Con in Lake Geneva, helping out get some people signed up for @extralife4kids.bsky.social and taking donations for @childrenswi.bsky.social !!

I am so sorry to hear that Kepler has left us to join Sagan. Many good vibes of healing for the two of you. We love you and will miss you Keppy!

today I walked to my nearest Culver's. I wish they were physically here, but I can feel them with me. I miss them, but I know they're enjoying whatever it is they're doing wherever it is they're doing it.
