I am still baffled why a massive number of websites don't offer dark mode options; maybe I am blinded by the migraine inducing white background in options menus and I am missing seeing them BLEGHHHHHHH is the emotion I wish to express

First Sichuan dish I learned to make; boiled beef. It’s very thinly sliced beef with whatever veggies you have (onion celery for me), but the broth is the magic: Soy, sesame, beef broth, cilantro stem, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and chili oil from scratch with sichuan peppercorns

I played Silksong mostly blind; This is my act 2 final boss fight that was my 2nd attempt, it absolutely made me pumped/focused/fired-up and so I wanted to share: www.twitch.tv/videos/28333... I had never seen this fight until today, but was so in the zone that I owned it #BeastCrestBest

So cooking has been a hobby for me for many years, tonight I did quesadillas with an Asian fusion take; homemade mayo, soy based reduction with chili oil, homemade salsa and a sharp cheese blend 👌 I’ve tried making tortillas but never been successful with them yet

It definitely feels a bit surreal having a computer again, streams will definitely be occurring more after I redo a lot of my assets; today I am just sitting with GIMP and OBS making overlays and troubleshooting No idea why but OBS can’t locate my webcam 😂

CovertMuffin @covertmuffin.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I’m back; stream in ~ 30 mins or so where I’ll be doing first time setup stuff, programming some livesplit stuff and happy to chat and answer any questions people might have because this year has been absolutely ridiculous Twitch.tv/Covert_Muffin

CovertMuffin @covertmuffin.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Alright it’s time for my ritual; what SGDQ runs were good watches? Can be biased or like an obvious title like silksong etc I couched Constance by 8bit (must watch), system shock by Bloodthunder, and Dark Forces 2 by Alnak; all great runners and performers, I am looking for other standouts

CovertMuffin @covertmuffin.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Never thought I’d say this, but potential stream tomorrow where I’ll be setting up my new laptop; it’d be an open AMA of the ridiculous year I’ve had and a peak behind the curtain of setting up a stream and speedrun based computer

Also mouse suggestions; I use a fingertip grip which is rare, so curved sides are a pain, so if something has flat sides that are orthogonal/perpendicular to the mouse pad that is ideal And fewer or no side mouse buttons as well; I am literally looking for a basic mouse that can keep up with 3k DPI

CovertMuffin @covertmuffin.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I am looking to purchase a gaming laptop by the end of the month; suggestions? I’m looking for something under $3k but will let me play games like Elden Ring and stream older games Optic seems like the best long term but Lenovo and other companies are cropping up, so I’m curious what is best?

Reality check for yall wanting someone to be blamed/fired: I've volunteered behind the scenes, and the biggest strength I've come to appreciate in the GDQ communities is an environment that treats mistakes as human rather than shaming those who make them. It's why we get to enjoy the events we do.

I'm just going to say the unpopular thing: Cheering for somebody to get fired because a mistake was made (and summarily corrected) is ghoulish. Clearly there was an oversight and people don't have to demand blood for every error. Some of you should reevaluate your morals.

I appreciate when people make an error and then establish their intent direct and clear GDQ did that after re-evaluating an initial decision, and cut a stream, which honestly was fast after digging in to an oversight. I appreciate strongly they admitted a mistake, and they rectified it immediately

If you missed @lifel1ke.bsky.social running Cyberia during silly block at #SGDQ2026, it is definitely a must watch. Lifelike has a particular monotone deadpan humor which proves that there are many different ways to do commentary to best represent the speedrun. Absolutely brilliant performance

Sadly I woke up this morning absolutely floored; I either have flu or COVID (tested negative each day) so sadly my presence at SGDQ this week has come to an end Still got to see tons of amazing friends + people + couch 3 runs; time to watch the rest of the event in an absolute fever dream from bed
