Behold what will more than likely be my new YouTube and cinema cam all in one adorable little package. Already recorded an unboxing of it, but figured I’d post a real pic of it and not just boxes. Oh yeah sorry for having to prop the lens up and not using a tripod 🙃 #gopro #newcamera #mission1

This is the MISSION 1 PRO ILS from GoPro, equipped here with a 17mm Laowa C-Dreamer f1.8 lens.

Oh yeah I did the thing and watched legal cinema today 🍿

This is an official poster marquee of the 2026 live action/animated legal comedy Coyote vs. Acme. It was initially shelved from release by WB for tax writeoffs, but was successfully rescheduled after its rights were acquired. Following the success of another WB project Ketchup Entertainment bought: The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie.

From time to time, I’ve said I look forward to meet some of my favorite people in showbiz. And then sometime after they pass on. Life is too fucking cruel. That being said, thank you for all the memories Tim. It’s gonna hit harder for when I watch Rocky Horror and Treasure Island 🫡

This is a black and white photograph of the sadly late Tim Curry, who passed away this year (2026). It was supposed to have been taken in New York City around 1980.

Giving YPP another go with the changes coming in February. Doubt I'll get in before then, but I might continue into next year. I discussed this body horror piece a few years ago and I'm happy to finally give it the longform treatment it deserves and discuss the absolute insanity of it.

This is a still frame from the 2021 body horror film Titane directed by Julia Ducournau.

NEW EMOTES incoming! As of today, Tack is now my channel mascot, as I continue theming my streams and videos around movies. Tysm and shoutout again to @angelrosestar.bsky.social, whom I previously commissioned for the Tora/XC2 emotes. 🧡

This is a screenshot showcasing three Twitch emotes commissioned by me, and ultimately drawn by Angel (@angelrosestar.bsky.social). The character represented in each is Tack from the unfinished animated feature The Thief and the Cobbler. He is a mime-like shoe fixer, or cobbler, who helps a kingdom and its princess to stop an ancient evil in the One Eye Army.

Last Friday, I did my second karaoke session IRL during GDQ. While I couldn't do much singing with my sore throat, I still had fun. But for those who missed my voice, I recorded a vocal cover yesterday for fun. This is my take on Red is Blue ✌️(spoilers for hoodwinked btw)

Another full week spent at SGDQ once again. Life has felt weird for me this past month. But I managed to hold my own and exit my room more often to watch runs, play games in the arcade room, and especially hangout with the friends I love. It’s not quite as great as last year, but it’s up there.

This dinner selfie was taken at Hells Kitchen in downtown Minneapolis. Everyone at the table is more or less the same people I’ve mentioned in each alt text after this one, minus Spade, Jack and Franken.

This is a group photo pertaining to the Hey You, Pikachu! speedrun race done by Burnt_Bowser and Bird650 (center right in Pokemon trainer outfits) respectively. I unfortunately can’t name everyone here, but the runners I can at least do.

This is a photo taken inside an Activate Gaming venue at Mall of America. Listed bellow from top to bottom:

Good morning ✌️

This is the first level, Lost in the Dark, on Chapter 3 in Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. At this point in the game, you lose your companion for now but still have access to the elder’s powers in the Magic Marker.

Beat a whole game and got up to Hole 4 in the second round. Thank goodness all the arcade visits I had in the last year

This is the Ice Cold Beer arcade cabinet produced by Taito in 1983.

This is the bottom left panel showcasing the scoreboard, including bonus points if you’ve made it past the next hole, the Tilt or how many balls you’ve used up (max being 4 starting at holes 6 and up) and the Game Over lightup after all the metal balls are used up.

Happy 8 years to one of my last RTP projects, Mirum Mirum, and my first *truly* original work. Had an idea of re-exploring the world and making a spiritual successor, with less cheesy B movie decision-making in development. (1/2)

This is the poster (on my dev YouTube) for my 2018 RPG Maker puzzle horror game Mirum Mirum. It has a minimal escape room storyline with cheesy stock sound effects, and the first *albeit cringe* track I composed.

NEW PB in less than a year! And of course finally completing the Sub 1:20 arc. Whether or not I'll be able to get 1:10 is debatable, but this was my best run in a long time. Huge Ws all around 🔥🔥

I'm holding the peace sign on top of a series of split times above a timer holding the time I completed my Max: The Curse of Brotherhood speedrun on Any%.

Reminder that RPG Maker 2003/RM2K3 is $2 once again, and that you can make fun shitposts like Super AF RPG in it. Currently have one I’m brewing up. Having Vinny play and revel in the fun is optional but awesome nevertheless.

SUB 1:00 achieved and Top 10 run in the process! Nearly lost it when I finished third split on Future Dream, but RNG really came in clutch for the last two boards. Will eventually hit up my PB on Easy CPU, but man this is a well deserved W.

SwaggBae @swagg.moe · 08/02/2026

Almost 5 minute PB inkoming! Last board again unfortunately killed potential of sub 1:00, but I am happy nonetheless that this run popped off as hard as it did. Like I've said before, it's any day now when I'll eventually get it. GGs.

Is it that time again? Well here’s the one GD clip I’d love to reenact at some point in my life. Also just happens to be of my favorite scenes in the whole movie. Anyways Happy Groundhog Day and whatnot 🙂

SwaggBae @swagg.moe · 01/02/2026

Almost a 5 minute PB, and my first Normal CPU run to break Top 15 on the leaderboards. Still had moments on the last boards where it easily could've been sub hour, but we'll take those dubs. At the very least, sub 1:10 and 1:08 has been achieved on my end for Story Mode.

This is a screencap of Mario Party 5 with a timer and list of split times below me on the right side of the screen. I took this to showcase my recent personal best on the speedrun category for this game, Story Mode.

SwaggBae @swagg.moe · 21/01/2026

This was a pretty mid run all things considered, in spite of me clutching the final two splits. Literally had the chance to get sub 1:10 here, and RNG did very some RNG things. Either way, this feels closer than ever to reaching 1:10 or even sub hour. Can't stop, won't stop.

This is a screenshot of the Nintendo GameCube game Mario Party 5 with a timer and list of times on the right side below a picture or facecam of me holding a thumbs up. I put on a sarcastic smile because of how unfortunate in game RNG behaved toward me.

SwaggBae @swagg.moe · 15/01/2026

Couple runback attempts later, we cut it back by 9 mins. Still got a ways to go until I get to sub hour, but this was a much better run than when I first started stream. GGs either way 👍

000

SwaggBae @swagg.moe · 14/01/2026

First run back on Mario Party 5, and first Normal CPU run done! Almost 20 mins off my PB on Easy, but this would've been close to sub hour if I didn't choke on 4th split. Either way, I'm ready to run it back whenever 😀

Video’s finally done and free of Content ID bullshit for now. Also the second longest on my channel, clocking in 8 mins short of an hour. Will at least thumbnail drop, but plan’s to drop it on Friday hopefully without any more issues on the YT side.
