…but I can’t even really talk about what one as it would be rather identifying.

We went to an awesome locally brewery for dinner and drinks afterwards too and I LOVE that place and the decor but it’s identifiable.

It’s stuff like this that I wish I could talk about more but safety first and all

Sorry about the lack of posting. Life has been pretty full on and I’m just hanging on for dear life atm.

I’ll try to post more stuff but I’ve largely just… not had a lot to talk about that I can actually discuss online safely.

Mega, I and some friends did an awesome escape room yesterday! (Cont.)

Strawberries and cream cheesecake with a biscoff milkshake

Food pic!
Went out for coffee date with the wife and the little man. Got a delicious Biscoff milkshake with a strawberries and cream cheesecake. It was really good.

Oh and also we’re live on twitch.tv/aussiegrif right now with some gaming!

It's Wednesday mah doods! That means it's Mechwarrior Wednesday!
With the completion of the main Campaign from Clans last week, we're jumping back into Mercs for the new Shadows of Kentucky [sic] DLC!
Live now at twitch.tv/aussiegrif alongside @ripper253.bsky.social and @lostonetheavali.bsky.social

It’s bartending stream night! In 2 and a half hours (9pm AEDT) I’ll be live with bartending and making lamb and bacon loaded wedges (good bar food here in Aus).

Hope to see you there!

The Flea is such a cool mech. I much prefer it to the Locust in terms of loadouts.

It’s baking stream time!
Making a tomato soup cake for my son’s 2 month anniversary!

Ooooh look here, it’s homemade burgers (made in a takeaway burger joint fashion).
Good, now that I have your attention; it’s stream time! Twitch.tv/aussiegrif

(Also the burgers were super good)

Cooking and baking streams are so much fun. I’ve started doing them in the last few weeks and the best advice I can give you is just have fun with it. Even if the food fails people still enjoy it!

If you have any questions about setting up for kitchen streaming feel free to ask Mega or I about it!

Until I go live in 3hrs (3pm AEDT), you should go check out my friends stream (they’ll be joining in on the Mechwarrior Mayhem once I go live too)

Take however long you need Juwu. We’ll be here for you when you decide it’s time to return.

Until then look after yourself friend <3

An in-game bottle of Jack Daniel’s with a clearly GenAI label texture.

For context:

CoinPit is on Steam right now with a demo available. Does not have an AI Disclosure Statement… and look at this bottle of Jack Daniels.

If you know ANYTHING about how GenAI can’t really generate text (especially cheap, fast models) then you’ll recognise these ‘text’ artifacts.

It fucking sucks doing your due diligence and checking for AI Generated Content Disclosures, and then just being blindsided because they lied.

We’re 2/3 of Coin Pusher games I’ve been interested in that have had AI. #raccoin can’t come soon enough; it’s the only one I can trust in this niche.

Look at this shit! Mega worked really hard on this and you should get it because it’s awesome.

…

How fucking dare you accuse me of being biased?!

Yeah it’s a real shame that a lot of the great RPG companies have fallen from grace in one way or another.

BioWare made some REAL bangers back in the day (even if some were kinda jank; looking at you SW:KotOR)

I’m so keen for stream tomorrow night. No clue what I’m ever doing but I miss streaming.

It’s so nice to enjoy this hobby and vibrate with energy at the thought of the start of my weekly schedule. I’m so thankfully that anyone even shows up. You’re all legends.

It’s amazing how MicroProse made a comeback from obscurity. Now they are pumping out the hits right now.

Apogee is awesome too and I hope you can one day work with them too; creator program or not!

Fellow Content Creators:
What is one company/organisation that would be a dream for you to work with?

I’d love to do something with @microprose.bsky.social one day; they green light so much awesome nice stuff.

One day I might be a big boy streamer and get MicroProse-sempai to notice me UwU

Today in Ratboi’s Continued Capers in Carbtown: homemade chicken pasta bake.
It was very good.

We got 100m down the road and she was already crying and wanting to go back and bring him with us.

What wonderful things did I do to deserve such an amazing wife? <3

Friends, Mega and I went and watched Iron Lung last night and oh boy do I have things to talk about (but won’t because spoilers).

There’s so much to unpack in that movie; I spent all my shift at work thinking about it over and over and piecing things together.

What a great film.

Recipe:
Coat chicken in spices then bake (I used smoked praprika, cumin and pepper), leaving to rest for a while before shredding.
Coat fries in chicken salt then air fry until crispy.
Cover fries with BBQ sauce, then add shredded chicken on top, then a ton of cheese.
Air fry until cheese is crispy.

Cheese topped BBQ Chicken Loaded fries

I just realised it’s been a while since I posted any cooking/baking pics.

Here was lunch today: BBQ Chicken Loaded Fries. I swear there’s fries under all that cheese

Who dis I wonder?

I can’t tune in because I’m at work but people should go watch Voxid and check out their VGen because they’re awesome and a great person!

Made a friend whilst out at a coffee date with the wife.

Anyone able to tell me what kind of dog this is? (They’re known as water dragons btw)

My SEGA Dreamcast replacement parts should be arriving today and I’m so excited to have it fully functioning.

I bought this console unit only (no cables, controller, VMU) from Japan on a whim whilst I was over there. I’ve slowly been completing and fixing it.

This is heavenly when it happens irl just saying <3

Japanese chicken curry, choc hedgehog slice and a Passionfruit cider can

We’re live now! A little late because I was out here grabbing a feast fit for a king.
Gonna be chilling for a bit before MechWarrior Wednesday kicks off!

Don’t worry, there’s going to be plenty more cooking and baking streams to be had still!

Cooking segment of stream went really well tonight!
Grilled Corned Beef burgers were so tasty and some of the best burgers I've had in my life.
