Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We have a little refrain, where he tells me something about one vtuber or another, and I ask, "which one is that?" and he tells me, and I say, "nope, never heard of her," and he says, "I've followed her for years," and I say, "I'm sure you have." And I swear it's a new name every time. 010
Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 08/10/2026In 2020 I show my housemate one short vtuber clip that came across my social media feed and mildly amused me, and six years later he hasn't spent one day without a dozen-plus twitch tabs open at any given time. 110

Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also there is simple entropy. My PC will not last forever; sooner or later something critical is going to fail. But I don't know how I'll ever be able to afford another at this point. 030

Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Oof, sounds nightmarish. (As far as I remember, my record was nearly four days awake.) Can't none of it be good for ya, that's for sure. Nowadays, even a single night without sleep leaves me feeling like hot death. 000
Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Literally what doomed me back in college. (Well, that and the unmedicated ADHD and severe depression.) Sleep entirely untethered from any notion of a schedule; 12h sleep, 38h awake, 4h sleep, 20h awake, 16h sleep, 6h awake, etc. etc. I'm on Rxs nowadays, but it can still happen a few times per year. 100
Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I'm mostly joking—the real answer has to be Super Mario World—but before the SNES, E.T. was the game I was obsessed with trying to figure out. It wasn't until adulthood, reading about it online that I realized the game was actually Bad, and kid me never stood a chance against those broken hit boxes. 010

Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Why game with Purpose when you could just do as I do and while away your precious time on earth disassociating by putting 1000 cumulative hours into various versions of Tetris and Dr. Mario? 120

Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It's more like I realize I don't need to air out my brain in public. A long post about my current anxieties? No one needs to see that. A dumb thing I think is funny but likely no one else will? No one needs to see that. It's just for some reason I waste time acting like I'm not gonna realize this. 110

Chris Roberts @rickzarber.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Maybe this was leftover from when they were still hoping for a crossover?
