Tonight's race is part two of a doubleheader btw, so it may not start right on the hour depending on how the previous race goes. I'll be too busy prepping to throw up alerts right at race start, so here's the link to the stream where the first race is kicking off now!

Live now! I'm playing STRIATUM, a small indie project by my friend from the Earthbound speedrunning community @missdesgames.bsky.social (but the game is not like Earthbound). Never played this before, come hang out!

I will say this any chance I get: Itoi was part of far left student protests in the β60s - β70s where he physically clashed with police, was arrested 5 times, and ultimately dropped out of law school from his disillusionment
so he indeed knows how they work

A side-by-side comparison of the battle sprites of Captain Strong from Earthbound and Sans from Undertale. They are striking the same arms-behind-the-back pose and have similar body proportions.
A screenshot of dialogue captured in the middle of text rendering with Captain Strong that happens shortly before his boss battle in Earthbound. He is saying "At times like this, kids like you" and the rest of the line has not rendered yet. The line should finish "should be playing Nintendo games."
A screenshot of part of Sans's intro dialogue to his boss fight in Undertale. He is saying "on days like these, kids like you..." The following line is "Should be burning in hell."
broke: sans is ness theory
woke: sans is captain strong theory

I can't stress enough how healing it's been to scream "FUCK ICE" repeatedly for 12 hours and hearing it back in both chat messages and donations (big and small.)
I've worked so many charity events, but there's an energy to this one that's completely unmatched. It's righteous, direct anger.

An older woman with curly brown hair (Georgette Spelvin of the Youtube channel "MEpearl") sits facing the camera wearing a silver sequined top and a metal collapsable vegetable steamer basket on her head. Held close in one hand at shoulder height is a somewhat anxious looking young possum with its own metal hat. Behind her is a backdrop of UFOs against a night sky. Above the image is an Earthbound text window reading "You confront the Starman and its cohort."

A screenshot in which Melody stands in the middle of Greenridge near the fountain and Higgledy Piggledy's Diner & Inn and talks to Beverly, an anthropomorphic pig wearing a waitress's uniform. Beverly says: "I dunno what a paladin really does, but I know you're giving it your all!"
A screenshot of a battle. In front of a rainbow-tinted background, Claire casts Scorch, causing a diamond-shaped fire effect to appear over an Ominous Polygon, an enemy shaped like a d20. There's also a Helper Jelly, a silly-looking slime enemy with a nurse's hat on. On the party UI, Melody and Allison have the "infatuated" status, while Claire is shielded.
A screenshot of the party entering the Astral Plane, a surreal layer of reality that appears to be made of stardust.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
Discord chat log ThatChristGamer2011 9:46 PM I just don't think we should allow glitches on the leaderboards, it's not Christ-like shredberg 9:47 PM What the hell are you talking about ThatChristGamer2011 9:48 PM Psalms 104:5 says "he set the Earth on its foundations, it can never be moved." Glitches are trying to move the foundations of the game set by God through the devs shredberg 9:48 PM ??????????
Dude I am officially so done with speedrun leaderboard discourse
so I know I haven't streamed much lately, it's because Obsidian just recently started open beta-testing a turn-based mode for the original Pillars of Eternity and now I'm finally playing that game now that I can be free of terrible RTwP combat
but I'll try to do some Earthbound speedruns next month
