Had a random epiphany just now that I need to know when #AGDQ2027 registration is going to start. Come to find out, coincidentally, that it's TOMORROW! I'm super excited, because I've only ever been to SGDQs due to them being in my home state. Atlanta soon! #GamesDoneQuick #GDQ @gamesdonequick.com

Been taking photos at the #MODE Photography Festival in Minneapolis the last couple days. It’s just a few blocks from the Hilton, so you know I had to stop by for a rush of feels and nostalgia. Already looking forward to #SGDQ2027 (after we swing by ATL for #AGDQ2027, of course)! #GamesDoneQuick

Lobby bar area of the Hilton hotel in downtown Minneapolis, where Summer Games Done Quick is held each year in Minnesota.

Between games like *Divinity: Original Sin* and *Wasteland 3*, I've been on a real CRPG/TRPG kick. I've been in the process of wishlisting a bunch on Steam for the future, when I just so happened to find out that Humble Bundle is doing a CRPG bundle specifically. Happy day! 😄

Nevermind. The Direct ended like 30 seconds after I posted this. My delusions have gotten the better of me once again…

PhantomTMac @phantomtmac.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

So far, my favorite announcement from this #NintendoDirect has been that Scrum Debates will be returning in #Danganronpa 2x2. Still (naïvely) crossing my fingers for any news about #AceAttorney 7 or #DragonQuest 12…

Between this #NintendoDirect and the previous one, I really wish they’d ban the word #Deltarune from the chats…

Funny/sad thing about #Palworld 1.0 release; my friend tried a month ago to find ANY game we agreed on to play together. At the time, he was addicted to the #Pokemon Legends games, so I recommended PW. We played nonstop for two weeks until I got bored. Now the game has new players and is trending. 😅

PhantomTMac @phantomtmac.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Holyyyy, I'm excited to play this one.

So, after Fessy with the HOH sink, and Angela earlier this season with the HOH tub faucet, I can only foresee that this four people in a tub together with boots on thing will only end badly... #BB28 #BB20

I feel like it changes depending on the year. Sometimes there's a door, sometimes it's just a hallway (like it is now).

I feel so bad for all of the casual watchers who have to wait until Wednesday to see the nomination ceremony aftermath drama, because it’s going to be so stale and old-news by then. Way to miss the chance to strike while it’s hot, production! #BB28

Got bored, so I made a cinematic trailer for my #RAMP2026 map "Dilapidated Data" (MAP80), my #DOOM submission for the Rabbit's All-Comers Mapping Project led by @davidxnewton.bsky.social every June. To play it with #UZDoom, along with over 220 other maps, here: ramp2026.doomproject.com/download.php

My brother & I were friends w/ neighbor kids, but only hung w/ them once every few months (houses were spread out). When we'd go, they'd ask us to bring #AnimalCrossing for #GameCube so they could leave their console on indefinitely, since the game was playable after removing the disc. #NGC #Retro

An open Nintendo GameCube with no disc inside. The case and CD for Animal Crossing sits beside the console, with the game still being playable on the television.

I briefly mentioned it in an earlier post, but I have a small (growing) #collection of #Nintendo64 games that are complete-in-box (with cartridges, manuals, inserts, etc). I realize I hadn’t shown it on here yet, so here’s a semi-recent photo (there are a couple not in it). #N64 #CIB #RetroGaming

A photograph of a black bookshelf with complete-in-box Nintendo 64 video games. There is a console and controllers on top of the shelf, and a CRT television nearby.

For a bizarre concept with entertaining results: "Gordon & Daxter" For purely nostalgic reasons: "GEX: Enter the Gecko" For hilarious gameplay and commentary: "Hey You, Pikachu!" For hype cooperative collaboration and expert-level gameplay: "Kingdom Hearts II" For insane mindscrewery: "SM64"

Say what you want about Angela and her antics and her gameplay, but I see a lot of my own mom in her, and it does hurt me to see how pained she is to find out that Jason was playing with her motherly emotions. #BB28

There's a TV on the wall of the office-I-work-in's breakroom that never gets used. If I wasn't so concerned about annoying my coworkers, I'd be playing vods of GDQ runs on it for background noise/entertainment.

Siiiigh. Why am I be being like/follow spammed by bot accounts with generic bios, the same cringe one-liner posts, and each with a pinned giveaway for A.I. stuff I don’t care about in the slightest? Time for a block/reporting spree…

If I gotta sell my precious #N64 collection, or work every weekend for the next six months—this winter’ll finally the one where I make it to #AGDQ. I’ve been fortunate that #SGDQ is in my state, so I’ve been able to go, but I desperately want to be in ATL for #AGDQ2027. 🤞 #SGDQ2026 #GamesDoneQuick

PhantomTMac @phantomtmac.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

A video from this guy named “Smash JT” came out earlier this year, and I regret choosing to click it out of curiosity. It took every ounce of self-control not to write a 5000 word comment about why he’s ignorant, offensive, and just plain wrong about GDQ. My blood was boiling. Absolutely disgusted.

Haha, between this and your profile picture, I'd say I grabbed a couple of good shots during your run! 📸
