Am I willing to partake in Twitch drama if it helps me raise my clout? I answer this question during my latest Overwatch stream! Between the triumphant wins and the salty losses, we also discuss coping with jealousy as a streamer, missing dim sum in this current state of the world, and I unveil a new Channel Points reward.

Headlined by the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and Switch, the 8th generation of consoles has been a weird one for me. Coming off the previous generation where I spent more money and invested more time into gaming than ever, this one did not come close to capturing my imagination in the same way. That said, there were a few bright spots that should continue to shine going into the new wave.
With the sun setting on the 8th generation of consoles, here are the events that shaped my experience with it.
Each day in Stardew Valley takes about 14 minutes in real time. By design, you won’t be able to do everything before bedtime. Oftentimes when I’m playing the game, I feel overwhelmed by the amount of things I might want to do in a given moment. While I’ve mostly chosen to go with the approach of doing whatever feels good in the moment, it feels like I could use more than just the game’s in-game tracking tools to keep my agenda straight.
Off the strength of two stellar SteamWorld Dig games and the excellent SteamWorld Heist, Image & Form have proven themselves as a developer worthy of my attention. I’m willing to give them a chance on whatever they put out.
Put that line of thinking to the test when I finally got around to SteamWorld Quest. This time, the talented studio tries their hand at creating a turn-based JRPG with a card battling system. Does Image & Form continue its hot streak?
In between Overwatch matches, I share my latest round of spray paint art. Not only do I have the final products here, but I also have video documenting my process! We also discuss the awkwardness of blind dates and thank Queen Victoria for the Canadian long weekend!

Having just purchased a Humble Bundle, my friend JJ found himself with an extra copy of SteamWorld Dig on the Nintendo 3DS. He was gracious enough to offer me the code. Then I forgot a out it for awhile.
Eventually, I found myself sitting on a train to Montreal with nothing to do. Firing up SteamWorld Dig for the first time, time melted away as I tore through their brilliant take on the Metroidvania genre. As the train pulled into Montreal, I was actually mad that I didn’t have a few extra minutes to wrap things up.
Thus began my love affair with Image & Form, the brilliant minds behind the SteamWorld series.
Loosely inspired by Wario’s Woods, Treasure Stack is an indie puzzle game that’s quite stressful!
“Haley is ignoring you.”
After receiving a harsh comment from Haley in Stardew Valley about my perceived lack of fashion sense the other day, the animosity grew with this latest interaction. Refusing to even look me in the eye, I decided to find another way to her heart: through my phone.
In one hand, I picked up my phone. The other hand was holding down the button to my new voice changer. Now sounding to the viewers as if I was actually on the phone, I left a pathetic voicemail of my character begging for Haley’s attention.
As I hung up the phone, the Simp Phone was born. What started as a silly spur-of-the moment test of my new voice changer became a recurring segment. More importantly, it was a step towards shoring up one of my biggest weaknesses as a streamer.
The latest hero in Overwatch is an interesting and tricky character to get a hold of. Nevertheless, we give it our best shot in this debut outing! We also discuss the new emotes that subscribers to my Twitch channel can now use, thoughts on the Guilty Gear -Strive- closed beta, and finding one’s niche as a streamer!

I really enjoy Justin Bieber’s music but I have some serious issues with the writing on his latest album. Tune in for my poetic readings of his new songs! Oh yes, we also play Overwatch and discuss life in the post-pandemic world.
…and I might have attempted to play a 6ix9ine song on ukelele?!
