I've wanted to play this game for a while, and this is both my first time and my collab partners' first time playing this, too, so this is about to be VERY silly...well, for you guys. We're all gonna suffer! Stream starts at 9PM EST, see you soon!

There's a huge learning curve to this game's controls, and mapping everything to the shoulder buttons took some getting used to, but I had a lot of fun, and parts of it reminded me of Rain World and Bionic Commando (of all things), plus I loved the setting idea! Fun time overall!

@pauseandeffect.bsky.social Oct 10, 2026, 6:08 PM

I tried Iron Bramble by @minibunnies.bsky.social, @emlise.bsky.social, and @playismen.bsky.social! I'll keep my thoughts in the response, but in short, it's a very unique metroidvania experience, and I had a good time! Enjoy the video!

Thank you for disclosing that information. I, on principle, do not play any games that have used any form of AI in any part of the game’s development, so I’m declining this one. Wishing you all the best, though.

For that being my first time playing #SOMA, it was good! I'm numb to ocean horror thanks to Subnautica, but other than a few heart-pounding moments, it wasn't that bad. Very tense, though. Fun either way! Thanks for watching, and tune in Sunday for #ContentWarning! See ya!

I’ve been feeling like I need to up the ante for spooky season, and I’ve never played #SOMA before, so I’m gonna try it and see what happens! How scary could it actually be? Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon!

Day 3: Miniature 8-bit Mario
Day 4: Cacnea
Day 5: Flyswatter from WarioWare
Day 6: Hinox from Zelda
Day 7: Peppino
Day 8: Trubbish

I had fun tonight! Tried my hand at #Inktober (don't expect good art from me LMAO) for two hours, then capped off the stream playing #ProjectZomboid for an hour. And I gotta say, it really lifted my spirits a bit, so it worked out! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #SOMA! See ya!

This week has been a financial nightmare, and I'm not in the mood for game dev. So I'm gonna do something else. But what? Drawing? Zomboid? Inktober? Something spooky? I dunno! But I'll figure it out and run a stream at 8PM EST for it! See you soon!

I tried #LightspeedLina by CornflowerBlue! If you like #Sonic games, especially Sonic Adventure 2, you'll REALLY like this! Fast speed, fun platforming elements, great music, this game has a lot and I'm looking forward to its future! Enjoy the video!

Okay, #Deltarune Chapter 2 was better than I expected! I went into things with curiosity and left really enjoying the whole thing! I'll get around to running the rest of Chapter 2 soon, I'm looing forward to it! Thanks for watching, and tune in Thursday for #gamedev! See ya!

Y'know what? After getting jumpscared finishing #Deltarune Chapter 1, I'm gonna keep the momentum going and play Chapter 2 for spooky season. Maybe it won't be scary. But who knows? I'm curious to know more, so join me in my suffering, live at 8PM EST! See you soon!
