NEW SCHEDULE! FOR REAL THIS TIME! 4 days of streaming involving Crowd Control, Randomizers, and a PRIDE MONTH themed Pokemon Shiny hunt. What more could you ask for?

Schedule for 6/22 - 6/26

TENTATIVE Monday: 11:00 AM - Mario 64 Randomizer vs Chat WITH CROWD CONTROL

Tuesday: 11:00 AM - Mario 64 Randomizer vs Chat WITH CROWD CONTROL (If we didn't finish) / TotK Randomizer otherwise

Wednesday: 11:00 AM - Pokemon Pride Shiny Hunt!

Thursday: 11:00 AM - Pokemon Pride Shiny Hunt or TotK Randomizer

ARRGHHH I MISS STREAMINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

So, first of all, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY (at the time of posting) and if your Father is absent from your life, I'm your Daddy now.

Monday is going to be up in the air. I have no idea if they're done with the construction work or not so I've got that set as a TENTATIVE stream. I should know by 9-10 am for certain so look forward to an update there.

Tuesday, if we didn't start (or finish) the Crowd Control Rando, we're going to finish that first. If we did, or if the rando ends quickly, we're gonna move into the TotK Randomzier and try to finish that up... Or at least get a couple checks marked off.

What's this?!? AN ILLEGAL WEDNESDAY STREAM?!? Yes, you read that properly. I'm gonna be live on Wednesday and we're gonna end off pride month with a Pride Themed Shiny hunt! We need a Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple shiny for this task to be complete. If you have suggestions, mark em below!

FINALLY on Thursday we'll either be finishing Pokemon Pride or Tears of the Kingdom Randomizer... or both! We'll have to see how things go.

Thank you all for being such incredible and understanding members of the community. It's been a stressful and hard couple of months lately so the support you've all given me means more than you realize. See you on Monday! ...Or Tuesday! I'll let you know!

PS.

You just lost the game.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hi!

Things are finally looking back to normal for me and my life so you know what that means.... STREAMING! This week we're gonna do something I am ridiculously excited for and that is the TotK Randomizer by Waikuteru. Not only does it randomize item locations but also weather effects, gravity, monster spawns, goals, it'll give items, it'll TAKE items... This is going to be pure chaos and I am here for it.

Speaking of chaos, next week, more chaos returns with the return of CROWD CONTROL! You read that right, next week we're gonna take another crack at the Super Mario 64 Randomizer BUT THIS TIME Chat can sabotage me in new and exciting ways!

Last thing to note, the hot weather is here. Please remember to hydrate, stay in the shade, wear sunscreen, and practice safe habits when it comes to the heat. Happy Pride Month and see you all TOMORROW MORNING!

So I went into Walmart to pick up something today and I spied another thing on the clearance rack... It was this goofy, ugly, Super Mario Toad print Hawaiian Shirt and I laughed wondering who would buy it. On an unrelated note, check out my new shirt!

Just an update on life. TLDR: We're streaming this week come hells or high water. Daddy isn't going down without a FIGHT!

cracks knuckles and neck

Alright, Imma not beat around the bush. You mighta noticed I haven't posted a schedule yet, right? Well, I wasn't going to.

APPARENTLY, until they finish the line work and replacing the poles, they can't do anything about my internet. That got me down. That got me frustrated. I hate not being able to stream properly... So I wasn't going to stream this upcoming week.

Fuck that.

I'm not going down without a fight.

This week's schedule will be IDENTICAL to last week's... because I refuse. So yea, streams might be interrupted. Streams might go down now and then. We're gonna power through regardless. So I'll see YOU Tuesday for more Legends Arceus!

010

8-Bit Archaeologist 🦇⛏️ @8bitarchaeologist.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Just a quick update now that I have power again...

Hey folks, as some of you know this week has been.... unreasonably bullshit for me so far. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon.

Instead of hemming and hawing over plans with uncertainty gnawing at me, I'm going to cancel streams for the rest of the week.

Luckily, I should have some answers from my ISP by the end of the week.

Love ya, take care of yourselves, and enjoy the Shorts/Tiktoks in the meantime!

8-Bit Archaeologist 🦇⛏️ @8bitarchaeologist.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

It's been over a WEEK since I went on vacation! But I'm back TONIGHT in 30 MINUTES over on the purple site chattering about the insanity of NON-STOP CONSTRUCTION WORK, POWER OUTAGES, and maybe some Minecraft!

8-Bit Archaeologist 🦇⛏️ @8bitarchaeologist.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

I'm back, people! New schedule too! WE'RE OFFICIALLY ENTERING OUR TRAINING ARC!

SCHEDULE
11/3 - 11/9 === 8PM EST
Monday - Saying goodbye to the Addams
Tuesday - Minecraft Skyblock+
Wednesday - Minecraft Skyblock+
Thursday - Minecraft Skyblock+
Friday - Horror Gaaaammmessssss
Saturday - ✨ Shiny Sub Saturdays✨
Sunday - Returning to Slumber

I'm even EARLY with this schedule! Who'da thunk! Hi peeble! I'm alive again! Hopefully everyone had an amazing Halloween because I know I did! I'd love to say this week was a much needed break but instead I was plagued by family, power outages, construction outside my window and other various annoyances. But it worked out for the best realistically!

While there's no stream Monday, Monday does start something special. I was planning on doing a 90 day "shorts" challenge where I upload everyday to Tiktok, Insta, and YT Shorts. So I sat down to come up with a plan and some scripts!

I might have overdid it.

I may or may not have 6 months of ideas + 50 odd scripts written....

Don't judge me.

kbai!

We had a pretty MAJOR announcement on stream last night that has been a few months in the making. I'll admit to both being excited and terrified at the same time, but I'm looking forward to taking this journey with you all!

As of October 1st, I am now doing content creation full time.

What does this mean?
This means things like streaming and Youtube are going to become my primary source of income. It also means I'm going to be working night and day on growing our little community, streaming more regularly, posting videos more regularly, uploading shortform content, etc, etc.

For you all, nothing much is changing except likely seeing me a lot more as I whore promote myself and work to grow my platform. It also means I'm going to try and be a lot more active in our community and the Discord as well!

This past year has been trying a lot of new things; some worked, a lot did not... But I'm excited to see what we can build together! Especially now that I'm not going to be half-assing it anymore.

Love ya,
8-Bit

Sometimes you try new things and they don't work out. There's nothing wrong with that. You learn, you grow, and you appreciate what you've done in the past. I've tried a lot this past year... but I think it's time to go back to basics. Nuzlockes Wheel Spins AND ✨SHINY HUNTS✨

021

8-Bit Archaeologist 🦇⛏️ @8bitarchaeologist.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

There has to be better shiny odds on the switch 2... I've had the thing like 3 days and I've already gotten all these as shinies with no sandwiches... Just random pokemon while I'm taking an hour or two to do tera dens.

8-Bit Archaeologist 🦇⛏️ @8bitarchaeologist.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

"I've got an hour for lunch. Lemme get some tera dens done" APPARENTLY LEMME GET 4 MORE SHINIES TOO

Fortress, Sandile, Meditite, mareep all shinies in the box

Hot take: Bidoof should get a mega-evolution. Not Bibarel. Bidoof. Make God Bidoof a thing.

An amalgamation of Bidoof and every early legendary to make God Bidoof
