It's time to get some Halloween Vibes in here! Playing Medievil for the first time. I've been told this game is up my alley and it fits the month because the main protag is a skeleton, right? Come catch me on live.andybundy.net!

My favorite part about making presentation slides on canva is how sometimes I'll tell it to do a thing and it'll say "okay, I did the thing" and then I look and it didn't do the thing. Just send my image to the back layer you jerk

The level of workout fatigue where the limb that always hurts *somewhat* hurts a lot more and you're *pretty sure* it's just regular soreness/fatigue but not *100% sure* you didn't hurt yourself so you just mess with it a bunch hoping it'll magically tell you one way or the other

They like to "have". They don't like "to make" and all the messy, hard growth that comes with actually making things.

Might have to part ways with a gaming community I've been an active member (and leader, in some capacity) of since 2019 over use of genAI. Feels bad, man, but I refuse to turn a blind eye, especially when people asked me to do something about it

It would be really cool to get through a whole week without someone or some org or some interesting project going mask off, pro AI “it’s not a big deal, bro” on me

I'm sharing this as a mea culpa, because it turns out this game was coded with Claude, a fact that is reasonably difficult to track down for a piece that was intended as nothing more than a quick, fun "hey look at this" kind of thing.

Btw, this interview finally came out last week while I was completely swamped with stuff, but now that my time has freed up a bit I assume yours has as well, and you can listen to it now. Because you haven't had enough ✨me✨

You know how sometimes you think of a really good pun and then have to look for an opportunity to use it because you can't be the only one to experience the brilliance? No? Just me? k

“2026 has been a generational year for us with multiple smash hit games across a variety of genres and teams, what’s the best way we can completely torch this momentum?”

Also, to come back to this, the big thing is that tech issues can just embarrassing. We all wanna put on a fun show and engage/hangout, so it's a problem that feels WAY bigger to the streamer than to the audience, but still, we generally appreciate the heads up so we can do a good job for you

Woke up to find Tilly refusing to put any weight on one leg and completely panicked. Several hours and lots of massage/supported walking later, and she's been able to go outside, have breakfast, and take her meds. *Great* start to a Friday

Apparently I streamed for 3 hours without the game sound audible at all. No one said anything despite me specifically asking *multiple times* for feedback about the sound. Seriously, say something

Resist the temptation to extract all humanity from art and repackage nostalgia as a new product, whether it's free or not

I've heard people say they like Ragnarok a lot but prefer 2018, so I'm curious how it changes the formula. I have it but will take a break for now. Gonna play it before Laufey, though, because I'm so curious about her

Managed to finish God of War (2018) yesterday afternoon, and man, what a game. Really haven't enjoyed a new(ish) game completely blind like that in months but am so glad I gave it the time of day. Absolutely revitalizing

The taper on a PS5 controller feels so weird. The pinky and ring finger are for strength/support, but they have nothing to hold onto so it feels like the whole controller is constantly falling forward

I actually do love Laura Linney, lol. I used to do an impression of her "I'm Laura Linney, and THIS is Masterpiece Classics" all the time. It works for introducing anything - my dog, a sandwich, etc.
