When the math hits you. Two perspectives. #Survivor

Savannah vibes during the promo for next week and I’m absolutely living for it…

I don’t 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 pockets… I wouldn’t sit on one if I found it.

Play it and live to fight another day.

Drop something YELLOW! 💛

Paddington in A Christmas Story (1983)

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1692

6 Golden Coins!

Still holds up VERY well.

It's (now) Halloween!

Share some PUMPKIN 🎃

Thank you to Sage for bringing back hating somebody’s guts #Survivor

A couple of years ago I played a Guardians of the Galaxy re-skin of that game and, I swear, it lined up SO spot on.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

Sage’s response to Shannon’s hug filled love exit may be my favorite moment of this season so far.

Far be it from me to critique someone’s game but I feel like Nate should be threatening the nerds with changes to Marvel canon… #Survivor #Survivor49

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

Their Preowned B2G1 sales are worth jumping on.

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 Link’s Awakening for the Switch and got out $80 all in. 😳😳

As much as I have problems with GameStop, their push for #RetroGaming does hit some reasonable finds once in a while…

I’ve never played the #SNES version so we’ll see how this is. 🤔🤔

Photopea has been my go-to for forever for that. Never looked back.

Have you ever gone to a place to eat and been so caught up in the gossip of someone you don’t know the next table over that you just have to hang for an extra few to see if there’s an end to the saga?

3 Screenshots from the movie "Back to the Future Part II" (1989): First, a man wearing a headband and a yellow jacket is seen in a vehicle, looking focused as subtitles read, "We are descending towards Hill Valley, California at 4:29pm." 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 (con’t)-

* Pickleball? Really?

#TwitchCon

The Not so Hot (con’t)-

* 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 Twitch’s own non-response. Not a good look.

#TwitchCon

Things I liked (con’t)-

Last one… 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 (con’t)-

* The Toyota Retro Arcade. I can’t 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 ‘23 and it just felt… off.

#TwitchCon

Things I liked-

* The announcement of a Retro Creator Club! Once I’m back up and streaming regularly, it’ll be a goal to get approved to join.

* Everything GDQ. It’s 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.

#TwitchCon

Final thoughts on #TwitchCon!

For context, this was my fourth- I did ‘19, ‘22, and ‘23. I don’t go for the big name streamers- let’s be real, I’m a retro gamer. I know some modern stuff in passing but I go for the workshops, Artist Alley, demos, and people watching.
