Update: It's still happening! Two hours and zero views. For a Short that means it's not getting pushed to any feeds whatsoever, including subscribers. Also the copyright scan has been stuck since last night so maybe the AI is having trouble scanning it and categorizing it? I WILL FIND OUT!

I screenshot of the Blocks for Babies short showing zero views, which means YouTube is not pushing it to any feeds including subscribers.

My buddy @c222.bsky.social took this pic of me at PAX West and it makes it look like I'm welcoming you to my dark carnival. "Welcome to my thrillercoaster! The first drop is TO DIE FOR!"

$500 dollar goal MET for @fredhutch.org Raids for Research! Thank you all for donating to such a wonderful cause and for unlocking the Lance S. Pumpkins horror stream in October. No thanks for trying to use sounds to scare me and then succeeding in distracting me for a jump scare. #forthehutch

DUCKS FOR RESEARCH GETS SPOOKY! We're already at $100 dollars raised, but we still have even more for Lance to deal with as every incentive met is getting closer to having his cowardly self get more immersed in the game. Raising money for Fred Hutch! www.twitch.tv/lanceandgin

My wife says it reminds her of when Zoisite dressed up as Sailor Moon to trap Tuxedo Mask.

Next up is one of the more surprising games of the show, Take that Mainstage (@takethatmainstage.bsky.social)! It's a sort of life sim where you play a musician in 90's Grunge era Seattle, but apparently it was inspired by Civilization?? You can see me visibly shocked by that one! #paxwest

Lance Icarus @lanceicarus.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Next up: Blocks for Babies from @bunkstunkis.bsky.social and crew! I played this Tetris and Doom mashup last year after I was done making content and I made it a point to talk to Noah this PAX. I cannot wait to play this one some more! #paxwest

Getting my interview Shorts together, but wanna give a quick Bluesky preview for my interview with @kjartankennedy.com about @causewaystudios.com's upcoming game The Final Cut of Lilith Cunningham. Posting it on YouTube along with other PAX Shorts on Monday! #paxwest

It is an honor to once again be an Ambassador for the Stream for Fred Hutch program. This program has been growing so fast. The new Ambassadors just prove the embarrassment of riches we've gotten in talented streamers in just a year. Raids for Research is gonna be the best yet. Let's beat cancer.

Also a very special shout out to my buddy @roguedizz.bsky.social who handled all the camera work for me. I would have lost my mind trying to handle everything. Dude is a pro.

It was my second year as an official PAX content creator and I'm still blown away by how absurdly talented these devs are. I also got to meet fans who told me how much they loved my streams and even bought games I recommended in One Minute Steam Reviews! Videos soon, but tonight, rest. #paxwest

Meetings and interviews are done, so I played one that's just for me. That shoulder button combat style takes a lot of getting used to, not sure how much I like it yet. Try to play it like Yakuza and you will get demolished. #PAXWest

If you're looking for a last stop for PAX, go to the FMV room at Summit and check out A Rum Case in Fogtown. They have their whole filming setup now for their live action puppet game and it's SO impressive. I fell in love with the game after playing the demo. Give it a shot. #paxwest

What a ride just to get here but finally heading to PAX! Say hi if you see us!

It's very important to test your mics before a big event like PAX West. Luckily I have the finest assistant in the business helping me!

Spending the week finalizing my PAX West plans, but wanted to give one final shout out to the amazing team behind @desktopexplorergame.com and thank them so much for putting me in the Desktop Explorer credits twice! (I was given a game key by the devs, but can confirm it is well worth the price)

I am ecstatic to announce that I have been selected to serve a second year as a @fredhutch.org Stream Ambassador! It has been an honor to work with this talented group and have a small hand in helping this wonderful program grow. Lets raise money together to find a cure!

Look at him Rob. Happy, smiling, enjoying his sweet new dragon jacket. A little check in on his team a couple minutes after this and it's 0-2. M's can come back, he thought. He's a different man now Rob.

Adding the popular tag to my already existing "AISucks" tag, because as it turns out it always sucked.

Two Twitch tags that say "AISucks" and "AIOptedOut".

The most devastating part about being a Seattle Mariners fan this year is seeing the 2025 AL MVP runner-up end the game on three swings at balls so far out of the zone they don't even have a color behind them. Some coaches ain't coming back next year.

Cal Raleigh swings at three pitches listed as very high out of the zone.

Just finished Romeo x Juliet aka "Get in the tree Shinji." It may in fact be the most 2007 anime I've ever seen.

Mariners WIN! Don't ask about the game though you just need to know we won it. #MLB

Thank you for everyone who donated to the last two days of charity streaming. They were full of kazoos, OnlyGoats, and a healthy amount of Muppets. I thank my co-Rizzo Aeta for being my partner in crime to help raise $70 dollars for @translifeline.org . Until next time, this was totally Gonzo.
