My @GTWScar head canon: Mr Wizard's familiar is just a normal cat that he claimed during a failed ritual.

@chrono32123 So what I'm hearing is that you need to move to Texas so we can play board games and acclimate you to taking turns. 😁

@DenalidTX I think because I usually play platformers, shooters, or action rpgs. Standing there and just getting hit bugs me lol. I get that there’s systems that determine that and I clearly don’t mind it on Pokémon but sometimes even turn based Pokémon bugs me .

@chrono32123 Want to have a tweet fight over whether turn based combat is outdated? You can reply, then I'll reply, then you can reply...

@chrono32123 Why do you find it odd? Tabletop games still do it.

@DenalidTX Idk man. I’m a fan of ATB (Chrono Trigger, FF7, FF9) it pure turn based combat is odd for me. Like in Pokémon where it’s 1v1 most of the time sure but a whole RPG party? Meh.

@Darminious Can confirm, he went live. Jury is still out for Mario's aliveness.

Live on Twitch 9AM EDT Playing Super Mario Bros. 3. Having beaten the Original Super Mario Bros. last week, it's now time to start another challenge. For some reason I didn't realize that this one is 3 and not 2 until today. Wish I could say I wasn't alone on this misunderstanding. Hope to see you there twitch.tv/darminious

@Deadlydill I want this to be good... But I have no confidence in Star Wars anymore.

This trailer is better than the whole sequel trilogy.

@chrono32123 Agree, the faces look worse.

I like how it handles textures and materials. Hate what it does to faces. I think it's net negative for gaming as art.

@cubfan135 Keep fighting the good fight, Cub.

Don't let Minecraft Live being next week distract you from the fact it has now been 7 years since Fletching Table functionality was promised.

@chrono32123 @B1gDaddyMarv Pok-ay-al Crossing, obvi

@B1gDaddyMarv P-okop-ia because what’s life without whimsy lol

Are you team Po-kopia? Or team Poko-pia?

are you an npc?

@trashh_dev Why is there only one person typing on that keyboard? You can vibe twice as fast with two people.

day in the life of an engineer 2026

@chrono32123 Or... Follow me on this... You could play all day every day for the rest of your natural life.

Okay so Pokopia's real time cycle means that my ability to stream it is not great. I mostly stream in the evenings/at night so there's only one cycle of the game I can experience and show on stream. Maybe just recording my sessions and grabbing clips or moments is the way to go though.

@MrBarryLewis I'm amazed you both still have all your fingers.

Mrs B joined me to test more viral kitchen hacks. From slicing butter with kitchen towel to pitting cherries with a straw… and attempting to open a wine bottle with cutlery (don’t recommend that one). Watch the full test youtube.com/watch?v=gadn5e… #KitchenHacks #CookingTips #BarryLewis

@ProdiCole Believe it or not, AI. I still have to be very particular about how I use it, and I have to double check everything it does. But they are now good enough that I can design and plan a feature very quickly, then have Claude execute. At least, until it catastrophically fails.

What’s once thing in Gaming or Tech you are enjoying right now? Games, System, Code?

@ProdiCole Productive! 😁

Happy Hump day y’all How is everyone doing today?

@ShadelessReview Agree, I just wasn't sure which you meant. 🙂

@DenalidTX This is probably subjective. Either or is fine. It just depends on the goal of the creator.

Thought: I understand how marketing works in the drink and supplement industry, but I’m curious about your perspective on content creation. I see many “feeling” based content creators who primarily offer entertainment value. How can one go beyond that and provide more value?

@Slinger92 @GalapaGames @Slinger92 I'm curious to know what sorts of projects you've done with it. (Professional interest: I do this for a living.)

@GalapaGames Honestly, it's super helpful. From someone who has almost no coding experience, it's helped me a lot for some minor coding projects.

I really want to learn how to code! Need input on free ways to do it and preferably stuff that gets me hands on with it cause thats the only way I learn.

@GalapaGames @Slinger92 If you go with AI, be careful about which parts you ask it to teach you. Claude is the best coding agent right now, but it fails frequently on security and complexity. Make sure you always tell it to explain both how the code works and the risks involved.

@Slinger92 Hmmm never thought about using AI

@ShadelessReview I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean creators should do on-demand content to build up the audience, then start streaming once the audience is there? Or do you mean building the audience generally, then getting sponsors later?

@DenalidTX Right. I remember when I used to take that angle. It's almost like one ought to focus on building their followers/views first, then engage with streaming, with a focus on sponsorship.

@ShadelessReview Gotcha. The folks I know who are trying to make money are turning toward merch. Stickers, branded swag, etc. A few also use Throne and similar services to get non-monetary benefits. It seems like most sponsorships aren't profitable unless you have a very large audience.

@DenalidTX Not mine specifically, just creating a conversation to see what others think about this topic.
