I donโt blame MC for playing her idol just now during Tribal.
Ever since China with James- let alone 46 with the four in a row who went home with idols in their pocketsโฆ I wouldnโt sit on one if I found it.
Play it and live to fight another day.

Treasure Planet absolutely deserves more love than it has/got. Same boat as Atlantis.

The last go around a few months ago, I went #Zelda heavy and got Four Swords Adventures and the OoT Master Quest for the GameCube plus Linkโs Awakening for the Switch and got out $80 all in. ๐ณ๐ณ
As much as I have problems with GameStop, their push for #RetroGaming does hit some reasonable finds once in a whileโฆ
Iโve never played the #SNES version so weโll see how this is. ๐ค๐ค
Photopea has been my go-to for forever for that. Never looked back.

Second, a close-up of a digital display showing "OCT 21 2015" as the destination and present time, with subtitles saying, "On Wednesday October 21st 2015."
Oct 21st 2015 - Doc, Marty & Jennifer arrived in 2015 to prevent Marty McFly Jr. from getting arrested.

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
The Not so Hot (conโt)-
* Pickleball? Really?
#TwitchCon
The Not so Hot (conโt)-
* This very much is a me thing so YMMV on this- but the workshop programming is pretty much the same year to year.
(The Branding, Growing Pains, and the aforementioned Improv were definitely bright spots.)
#TwitchCon
The Not so Hot-
* Security. We all (sadly) saw the Emiru situation. I feel for everyone who streams at that high a level and deals with those parasocial creeps.
The only thing worse was Twitchโs own non-response. Not a good look.
#TwitchCon
Things I liked (conโt)-
Last oneโฆ The Improv Workshop. Lowkey was dying laughing for an hour making an idiot of myself with everyone else in the hall where it sectioned off.
#TwitchCon
Things I liked (conโt)-
* The Toyota Retro Arcade. I canโt stress enough how much joy playing #StarWars Trilogy Arcade again gave me Friday. Plus Area 51, World Series Baseball, Jurassic Park, etc.
* San Diego in general as a host city. I was in Vegas for โ23 and it just feltโฆ off.
#TwitchCon
Things I liked-
* The announcement of a Retro Creator Club! Once Iโm back up and streaming regularly, itโll be a goal to get approved to join.
* Everything GDQ. Itโs one thing to watch them do their thing from the couch and another to see it live in person with the vibes in the crowd.

Final thoughts on #TwitchCon!
For context, this was my fourth- I did โ19, โ22, and โ23. I donโt go for the big name streamers- letโs be real, Iโm a retro gamer. I know some modern stuff in passing but I go for the workshops, Artist Alley, demos, and people watching.
