No stream tonight, friends. Work ate my brain.

We’re taking our chaotic good (?) energy to the Forgotten Realms! Join the Con-G staff as we stream our Baldur’s Gate 3 campaign, featuring questionable decisions and many dice rolls.

Hang out in chat and see where the dice (and our choices) take the party

Lessashamed - Twitch Attempting some overly ambitious Earthbound Streams lately...

Hey friends,

Need a break from RE9? I’m going live streaming more of my Earthbound musical analysis and even some gameplay sometimes in a bit.

It should prospectively be Friday nights at 9:30pm EST moving forward.

Panellist Spotlight

SURVIVING CAPITALISM
AS A CRAFTER
A talk about the realities of sustaining a handmade craft business in today's hyper-capitalist marketplace. How can makers fairly price their work when stagnant wages & consumer affordability collide?

Con-G, the virtual convention, is happening this Fri/Sat/Sun!

Come see my panel!

Don’t feel bad. You helped her for as long as you could! That’s a good thing!

The final total is in! We raised $34,753 for animal rescues across Alberta!

115% of our $30,000 goal! 🎉

Collectively, we raised $31,995 for animal rescues across Alberta! (Donations are open through tomorrow, so the total is likely to increase a bit).

I had a great time, though I'm still exhausted today.

WE DID IT! We hit our $300 stretch goal for the Help A Buddy Fund! 🎉

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who donated, and everyone who popped into the stream to say hi!

I really appreciate each and every one of you!!

KON'S FMV DANCE PARTY
Kon has a bunch of great dance AMVs - Do you have the moves?

Kitty, an animated red squirrel girl wearing a large white sweater, stands in her treehouse room. Vines hang from the ceiling and glass jars sit on the table in front of the window. Text at the top reads: 9 Lives Video Game Marathon. For the Help A Buddy Fund.

Tomorrow! 10am MT (Noon ET) and going until Sunday at 2am MT, I'll be streaming to raise funds for the Help A Buddy Fund, a charity supporting multiple animal rescues across Alberta!

Come drop into the stream and keep me company for a while, if you can! Donate if you're able, but no pressure.

Attention Earthbound fans! (and people who were always curious about the game)! After a bunch of prep; tonight I will finally be kicking off my full play through with comprehensive coverage of all of the details. Localization, musical analysis, glitches, and stories. We doin it all! #earthbound

Panel 1: An undetailed figure holds Shen as he coughs lightly in his arms, beat-up, tired-looking, and sweating a lot. The figure says "OH MY GOD!! WHO KICKED YOUR ASS??" Panel 2: With a shaking hand, Shen reaches out and points outward. The figure holding him watches his hand do this. Panel 3: The figure raises his head and eyes to look at what Shen is pointing at. Panel 4: Standing before him is Shen himself, still beat-up, tired-looking, and sweaty. Shen is no longer in the figure's arms, though they are still posed like they were holding him. Text below: "This is what it feels like to go to the gym"

Con-G hyyyyyyyype!!!

I'm returning to @con-g.ca again this year with another collection of indie video games that remind you all of some of your favorites from ages ago.

If there’s a classic game you can think of, there’s an indie for that!

It would mean a lot to me if folks could spread the word about the Great Magicite Fight V going on this weekend (Feb 7 + 8, 11a-11p ET Saturday and Sunday) 🥺👉👈

Myself, @victorylime, and Nick Z will be racing through Final Fantasy 6 to raise money for Trans Lifeline!

That would be the most handy, but I’ll settle for a button I click manually, I just feel it should remember my Twitch link.

Get your entries into the video Masquerade! We have amazing prizes this year!

$50 gift card to The Dangerous Ladies and  $50 gift card to Cospayton Cosplay, a pair of tickets to the following - Toronto Game Expo (March), Tri-Con (May), Yeti-Con (June), Pretty Heroes (July) and Animethon (August)!

I streamed last night and would have loved to use the BSky Go Live feature, but I only remembered it at the last second and so I didn’t have my link ready to paste in, so I had to skip it.

Why doesn’t that feature keep my link?

You still have 1 week to get your Virtual Masquerade video submissions in!

So convenient!
