Getting Everything Set Up For The Fortune Cookie Stream Tonight! Adding In The Last Few Games In Our

getting everything set up for the Fortune Cookie stream tonight! adding in the last few games in our library just so everything's up for grabs

if you don't know what Fortune Cookie is, every ~30min i pick 5 random games from our library and chat gets to vote on which game i play next

my partner and i have a lot of unique titles in our shared library so i think it'll be a treat 💙

i've been meaning to try this for a while and if it goes well we might make it a monthly thing!

good morning !! im birthday

never realized just how many goddamn video games i own until i had to start writing them down for streaming purposes, good LORD

hey everyone! i kinda disappeared for a while there, huh. just had one of the longest roller coaster weeks of my life, i'm sure i'll have a lot to say after i've recovered. short version:

we lost another cat

a job i applied for months ago finally got back to me, interview soon

might postpone sunday stream again

and today, i shall pretend to be functional for an audience of none. this is one of my most secret and powerful magicks

tomorrow for my birthday i am streaming my unfinished "magnum opus" Mari0 level pack from ten years ago, Zeta

and i am going the DISTANCE to show it as close to the original vision as possible. like adding all of the custom music that wasn't supported at the time (40+ tracks!)

i won't have time to build the few unfinished levels that remain but i *am* finishing the big final boss, which was maybe 25% done. to preserve its original vision i'm building it out with modern tools like custom enemies and event scripting – the result will be well worth the effort

i'm doing all of this while trying not to spoil myself on the rest of Zeta's level design, so that my reactions to it after 10 years are genuine... Zeta has this baffling yet strangely compelling design ethos that i want preserved in amber – from a younger me trying to "take level design seriously"

if you enjoyed my stream of my first level pack, New Super Mario World, then you're going to LOVE this

Zeta is a little more mature, a LOT more ambitious, and not a single iota more professional or respectful of the player's time. it's gonna be a riot
