CRJ tour! Allen and I debating making a Vegas trip out of it, the venue is smaller than SF and actually on a weekend. 🤔

Hi gang I need to do a new pinned post since my old one was out of date so you can disregard, or heart it if you want I’m not the boss of you :)

Seriously contemplated posting on X today just so I could be a Karen to a brand but ugh no it’s just…ick. Are brands responsive on Instagram? Do I actually need to use threads? Not that Meta is any moral angel either. I used to be annoyed brands wouldn’t pivot to bluesky but maybe its for the best 😅

All these shitty little stunts that cheetolini is pulling with the LGBTQ community is to try and create a distraction from the real issues in the midterms. He’s going back to the old playbook of “Kamala is for they/them” that he believes won him reelection. They want leftists to fight on this.

Until we have private bluesky accounts I do have a close friends filter on Instagram (mrrobroberts) lemme know if you want on it :)

Hosting a sold out show tonight! I should probably get to writing some jokes lol. (I will be fine this is part of the reason I have a weekly podcast again is to stay current)

Trying to get clips of my new show out there, you sometimes get comments from know-it-alls or people who just want to tell you you're wrong but like, idk i've hit that i really don't care part of my internet existence, thanks for the engagement and strengthening my algorithm presence :-)

This isn’t at all what the rumors were making it out to be (what a shock) but still some huge surprises like halo studios being shrunk and development going to Activision, that’s wild. Still, it’s job loss and a sad state of our game industry as these monoliths get bigger 😔

Beat the Final Fantasy Resonance demo! That was pretty darn good- very generous/long demo took me about 4 hours and I still have one side quest to finish. Game def got better as it went on. Story felt all new to me. I think I tried brave exvius for a hot second but don’t remember it at all.

Finally watched the new season of #thetraitorsus (is it new blood or season 5? This is going to get confusing). I’m trying to speak vague to avoid spoilers. I can only imagine what some contestants were feeling watching the episodes and seeing the definitive “what happened” with a certain situation.

Was so exhausted last night I went to bed before midnight for a change and woke up at like 9:15 I feel much better today :D ☀️

Episode 1 of the Midnight Arcade is up! Here’s a Spotify link, the @midnightarcadeshow.bsky.social account has iTunes and YouTube links as well! Thanks again for the support!!

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Pros: i did it! No technical failures, solid turnout (thank you) and I didn’t struggle to speak or fill the time. Cons: the pilot had more funny moments but episode 1 is always going to be a lot of exposition. It ran 30 minutes longer than I expected but is that THAT bad?

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Before I get back on this horse in 10 minutes I just wanted to say thanks to those that have supported my crazy online shit over the years. Sure I’m not an uber famous online personality but you know what? The fact that even one person gives a shit about what I say is a privilege. Thank you 🥺

trying to get everything set up for the midnight arcade debut tomorrow (my new show if you missed the earlier announcements during dragoncon). music is done, SIMPLE intro video done, layout done, now to just bullet point the topics for tomorrow and we'll be back on this horse!!

Haute and Freddy was so fucking good!! I’m really going to regret this trip and those four drinks tomorrow though!!! But when you are hanging out with clowns, act clownish 🤡

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

This is going to have exactly the opposite effect that the powers that be(tm) want it to have and that’s all I have to say about that!

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Haute and Freddy concert tonight!!! While I’m excited for the show, I don’t love trips all the way to SF on a weeknight. I’m not sure I’m fully recovered from DragonCon still with no end in sight 🥴. I think I’m holding Sunday this weekend as a me day to literally schedule myself for nothing lol.

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Diablo 5 yaaaay but what is up with these huge ass runway of release dates? I guess announcing 3 expansions at once worked well for WoW so let’s reveal things super early! I will contain enthusiasm until we have gameplay video.

finding myself drawn to playing IIDX at the arcade again this Friday. Must be this Halloween waifus fault

An anime character “Going to play a trick! Oh good morning. Oh this? It’s pretty cool right? It’s a costume for the Halloween fair. Happy Halloween! If you don’t order a drink I’m going to play a trick on you!”

Dee’s already probably the best new era Survivor winner. Like her game or not, if she even gets to the Final 4 of #BB28 she’ll really be cemented as one of the all time reality game greats, like Cirie (who is really untouchable at the top of that club) or Sandra (did well at Traitors).

9/11 was a weird day and very different time in my life. I remember I was actually listening to Howard stern that day and really remember how the vibe was completely different, that’s when I knew how serious it was.

The ad money made from your tweets, which goes directly into El0n's pocket as a non-publicly traded company, paid for this.

I have been absolutely slammed at work these last two days, in which I’m also celebrating 7 years here… but you know what? Overall I’m lucky to have a great job and a smart team. People legitimately take interest in my DragonCon stories too. It’s just nice to feel acknowledged for the nerd I am 🤓

Literally what crack is Sony smoking? They have just burned their bridge and handed their biggest competitor Microsoft a huge opportunity to correct what has always been their biggest blind spot -- AAA titles from Japanese developers. Yikes on bikes is Sony shooting themselves in the foot this yr

It’s hard for me to process Nintendo news and Apple News while I’m getting slammed with non stop meetings as I get caught up from being gone for over a week. And I still need to unpack a lot of my suitcase. Uh Yay new toys?

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I watched the Nintendo Zelda Direct with Bobby before heading to the airport- Ocarina looks great. Truth be told I had a very hard time pivoting from 2D to 3D when the game first came out. I think more modern 3D controls (two sticks) is going to be huge, and I look forward to giving it another try.

Some pictures taken by @bobbyblackwolf.com from my weekend- me with some content creators talking about authenticity in streaming, with the cast of Stargate SG1 moderating a panel, and a one on one panel with Lena Headey!

Not a lot of updates from DragonCon because I have been insanely busy to the point that I forgot to take my meds today :D I am fine but just really exhausted. I’m loving my trip but with as much as I got to recharge pre con I am draiiiiined now that con is almost done 🙃

I had a LOT of fun moderating this FFXIV panel with @javierprusky.bsky.social , @senabryer.com , and Peter bramhill (not sure if using bsky). Some really neat behind the scenes stories, and LOTS of fun voice samples from our crew. Cant wait for Evercold :)

Panelists as described in post, with several audience members seated and engaged.

#DragonCon update: I got to invade Jack Quaids personal space since he decided to make an unannounced appearance at the lower decks panel. I’m a really really lucky guy to get to do this stuff. Get Dragon Con TV so you can see his Boimler walk demo.
