Yeah, it's a one week before stream. We're not going to do a week long stream before our week long stream :p.

@desertbus.org Oct 11, 2026, 11:02 PM

Join us this Friday, October 16th, at 4PM PDT for a special one week early pre-marathon stream coinciding with the donations for #DB2026 officially opening, as well as the prize schedule.

T-minus two weeks until #DB2026! The tip-top training continues.

Hey, guess who's done with her Desert Bus Craftalong prize for this year?? @desertbus.org #DB20 #DB2026 #DBCraftalong

Two characters from Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth, standing across from each other at a tiny chess board. The whole scene is captured in a small diorama case meant for storing a baseball. A pretty wooden floor is made with maple veneer.

Close ups of the two characters, from before the glass covering was added. Phoenix looks thoughtful, and Miles relaxed.

The diorama sitting on a stack of papers for scale. The top paper is Edgeworth inviting Phoenix to chess, presumably. The text is "lorem ipsum" gibberish, but the addresses are silly things poking fun at the English localization.

The diorama shelved between Nintendo DS games and manga books, for scale. All are Phoenix Wright themed. The Slash 2 character ship creation board game is just in shot on the right of the photo. This was certainly not an absolutely intentional choice, no ma'am.

Cracked a pack and got this, what do?

Did you know it's our 20th marathon? That's not a golden anniversary, but we couldn't change the colour of this card. Seems like like a little bit of an oversight, don't you think? And yes, we know this the twentieth annual marathon, but "only" the 19th year. Anyways, please join us at desertbus.org or twitch.tv/desertbus on October 23rd at 4PM, Pacific. We going to be raising a ton of money for Child's Play Charity. They're a really cool organization that helps children manage the stress and anxiety of being in a hospital through video games. Not specifically the game we'll be playing, which is pretty boring, but like, you know, good ones. They got probably a Zelda or Mario in there, I'd wager. Speaking of, this year's run is earlier this year mostly we could all play the Ocarina of Time Remake afterwards. Wow, for not letting us pick a colour, they certainly did let us cram a lot of text in this space. I wonder how small the font is at this point, and what the maximum length is. Don't worry, all this rambling is going in the alt text of this image. Hrm, kinda ran out of steam there at the end. I should go. See you in a couple weeks.

IT IS COMPLETE!

Six years of stitching, and it's ready for @desertbus.org. I can't wait to see who wins this, and I hope we can raise a (house)boatload of cash!

It's 20 years of Desert Bus, and I can't believe it! I started watching in 2010 and raised over $20K with my work. Absolutely insane.

FINALLY FINISHED!!

Behold, my entry for this year's @desertbus.org : A Hollow Knight/Silksong bug mask display!

The masks are made of porcelain, with some thread for Lace. I stained, varnished, and lined the wooden display cabinet myself. The masks are attached by magnets.

I hope folks like it!

Preserve that f5 button and wait a couple of weeks ;)

We're just over three weeks away from Desert Bus for Hope 2026! What are YOU doing to prepare?

@desertbus.org Sep 28, 2026, 11:01 PM

We started with 64 moments, and found our champions in the Meta, Funny, Feels, and Weird groups. Now, they must face each other in the Grand Final.

We're approaching the end of the tournament, which means we're feeling the feeliest of feels.

Johnny was late to his shift but didn't believe us.
Ben left a video running "1 hour of silence broken up by random Thwomp noises."
