New avatar looks great!

Doubleedger is good peoples, help support them on Twitch front page!

Okay, I got 4 out of my 5 SGDQ submissions ready! I have an idea for the 5th one that I'll need to flesh out this weekend and see if it's viable. Kinda been pushing myself hard for these because there's so much stuff involved in routing and recording.

When you're on WR pace and get with both RNG enemy placement and their damage output RNG also being set at one shotting you...

Going streaming some more The Abyss: Incident at Europa! Redoing commentary cause of some video issues and then seeing if I can get a new PB/WR

"we tried everything" The everything:

And lastly #GastTheGreatestLittleGhost a neat little #retrohorrorgame heavily inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas! Solve puzzles to defeat evil creatures taking over a park then do a Mad Panic Coaster ride to reach the evil clown Beleseblob. Its charming fun!

Also got #retrohorrorgame #Bureau13 a point and click game where a government agency of misfits and monsters solve weird cases. Has interesting mechanic of picking 2 agents out 6 and then puzzle solutions are based on their abilities.

New #retrohorror game gets for PC! First up: #TheGuardianOfDarkness a jank action adventure game where you play a mystical monk solving paranormal mysteries. Made by the same fine folk who did Virus: It is Aware! Had a PAL exclusive PS1 port too

Steel Battalion (2002)

The more I'm looking into Silent Hill the more I believe The Order is the dumbest cult to ever exist and they should pick new gods that don't die to a Dad wearing Jeans.

I just realise that this is gonna suck when I can't go back to full AGDQ/SGDQ, or even previous GDQ hotfix VODs when this will be implemented. I love going back to some of the past AGDQ/SGDQ VODs to see chat reactions and this really makes it difficult when it's nearing the date

Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001) Since I started doing these MGS posters it took me 5 years to get around to MGS2 as its my fave, and I wanted the right idea in mind for it... plus have Raiden as the focus!! #metalgearsolid #mgs #mgs2 #raiden #cigart

Much love, everyone ❤️

WOAH!!! #FrostFatales 2025 is coming to a screen near you from March 9-16! ⭐BONUS⭐ Tune in to help raise money for @nwlc.org!!

all this shit just to save on like cents of storage per user like me, such unbelievably cheap fuckfaces. AND IT BLOCKS YOU FROM MAKING NEW HIGHLIGHTS UNTIL YOU MANUALLY GO UNDER. GREAT. THANKS GUYS. i hope twitch management chokes on their piss dude, fuck you.

meet me in the famicom cartridge restroom at Twin Peaks High School

have yall ever noticed when AI bros talk they don't ever actually explain in concrete terms what the thing is meant to actually do? Like what the fuck are you talking about? like of course this is because genAI can't do any of the things being alluded to and this is basically fake but still??

what if you fed old games to the ai machine to keep them modern is just the natural endpoint of games culture’s total lack of respect for old games as intentional works

PS1 running animations montage (1/2)

swapping a single usb cable between multiple devices to keep them all charged like a mother bird trying to keep her young alive

Nightdive doing win after win! Really hoping at some stage if Sega doesn't do it inhouse that they could do a rework of Enemy Zero. Proper directional audio, lighting and physics (imagine seeing equipment being tossed aside by invisible creatures or steam briefly silhouetting one of them)
