Just emailed the repair shop again to make sure they haven't been doing anything funny to my property during the longer-than-expected wait (and inquire about installments). Anyways, if you'd like to help me finally end this nightmare (before debt gets $3k worse in 5 days), ko-fi.com/ompuco/goal?...

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

tip me @ ko-fi.com/mailcty and you'll have the chance to vote on which of these games i should revisit on stream, because a heated season should perhaps make heated games essential to play again!

mailcty's monthly REFUELATHON

Get a chance before the month ends to make me revisit games I’ve had trouble with...

You’ll be able to vote on these games and more if I reach these goal points:

25% = Minority Report: Everybody Runs, Sonic R with friend(s), etc.

50% = V.I.P. (PS1 & PS2), Mr. Bones, etc.

75% = A Week of Garfield, Rise of Kong in VR, etc.

100% = Bug One & Too, The Sniper 2, etc.

the Super Nintendo/Famicom is a platform i wish i got to spend better time with in the last month, because it does seem to reach similar highs as the PS1 library does for me, perhaps not so surprising since its that system's spiritual predecessor after all 😏

Various doodles of Xammy, a Jammer (from Cosmo Gang) counterpart of Xela...or maybe just another one of Xela's forms?

Leftmost doodle has Xela happy raising Xammy like a baby, middle doodle is a close-up of a heart-eyed Xammy being pet, and the rightmost doodle leaves Xela shocked as a Jammer as a piggybacking Xammy smiles at him

idk why i felt the need to rank the mainline, Itagaki era Dead or Alive games, but its hard for me to deny that Team Ninja was truly cookin' here early on! all iterations of DOA2 are perfection in my eyes, but 4 did not slouch at all and rest are still very enjoyable in their own ways imo

since i intend on lowering this month's goal, i've retroactively lowered April's own to this new target, which fortunately means its time to vote on my first troubling game to revisit before end of next week! would like to thank everyone who tipped last month once again ❤️ forms.gle/ec7rhgsxMQaG...

i'll admit that the initial $600 goal of my first Monthly Refuelathon was high, which was an attempt to prepare for a change regarding my state's free healthcare starting in 2027, but perhaps it's best i do further research on how to get ready for that closer to this year's end

2026's platform months start with the Game Boy Advance, which indeed feels like a handheld SNES not only for its capabilities, but for its game variety and ambitions as well — while titles from Rhythm Tengoku to Mario Bros. are excellent, its also neat seeing games like Payback and Iridion II here!
