Miss a day of Mario Madness? Fear not, the archive of each game is being saved on Twitch! You can find a link to the full Mario Madness spreadsheet (with video links) as well as my other socials here: linktr.ee/walranium

Not that I use Twitter much anymore anyway - but fuck Elon and all of his bullshit. If I get back into social media a little more, it'll be at a place better than this...meaning literally any other site. But especially ones that are bluer and higher up. Fuck Elon.

@Toad22484 Hope you get it back soon - I had my account hijacked a couple years ago, and took them a month to get it back to me - I'm hoping they are able to get you your account back faster than that.

@bschaeffer12 The last couple of weeks have given me a little hope that maybe, if the front office can be just a *little* daring in the offseason and spend a *little* differently than normal, that we can be a winning team again next year.

Richie Palacios and Drew Rom carry the Cardinals to victory. Just how you drew it up.

At this point, we all have to think that Elon is intentionally trying to destroy the site, right? Like, can someone really make *this* many stupid decisions?

@BoardBoosters @_BugDoctor_ I've never seen this weird version of Homey D Clown - didn't know we'd be playing a bootleg

The Wheel has spoken, and our new collective speedrun target for August will be... DEFENDERS OF DYNATRON CITY, FOR THE NES! If you want to participate, be sure to reach out and we'll get you set up in the discord for some speedrun HYPE!

@KBobcat A month or better to get it back - I swear I can write coherent sentences. Good luck with getting it back, hope it goes quicker for you than it did for me!

@KBobcat If you have trouble with getting your Discord account back - Keep contacting them or following up on a support ticket. I lost my Discord for a month due to me being an idiot, and it took a month or better (including them 'reactivating' my temp account instead of my main one...)

ok... I'm not going to lie. this entire past week has been terrible. and now that I can't access my discord account or my outlook/microsoft, I have no idea what to do. I thought I was smarter than this.

@junkyard_dave I think I have a different hot take, which is that Ninja Gaiden is not a particularly fun game to play and that I do not find the speedrun nearly as entertaining as a LOT of other runs to watch.

Ok, I choose violence today. What does everyone else think? My old PB was 12:24 and sums were 12:02 before I dropped NG1.

@LordTwisted00 @_BugDoctor_ Not the remake - gonna go chill with the original on SNES

@walranium @_BugDoctor_ Regular or the remake of SOM? Either way great choice of a chill game!

To get back to feeling better mentally, gonna stream a game we've played before and know we like - we'll be starting a Secret of Mana casual play today, dedicated to our friend @_BugDoctor_ for how much he *loves* this game XD

I BET YOU NO ONE HAD A FUCKING MR. DO! TOURNAMENT IN 2023 ON THEIR GAMING BINGO CARDS. Live in about 10, starting sometime before 3:00 p.m. MDT. Come check it out if you're free. :) twitch.tv/arcademonthly Retweets and likes again appreciated. Thanks for supporting. :D

Are we also taking bets on whether or not Twitter's ability to log 'number of tweets you've read' is correct? Judging by how bad they are at everything else - I'd put my money on 'it does not work at all as it is intended'

@junkyard_dave @Chill_Dragoon You know, I really did mean to do a run and submit it...and then forgot. One of these days I'll actually participate and not be a complete scrub at this XD

These were the final scores (and we held a tournament which will be aired soon) of everyone who participated. :) This month's game for score attacking is going to be Tetris (Nintendo version) on NES. If anyone wants to join this month, let me know. :)

Remember - if you think you're bad at your job, you cannot possibly be worse at your job than Elon is at running Twitter. It's almost literally impossible to do a worse job than this.

Just in case there was any question where I stand - fuck the Supreme Court

@TanukiDanShow yoo - I'm leaving work early today, and plan to be doing a bunch of D4 this evening - if you do any D4, I'm totally down to join in with a group!

We are doing a 12 hour stream today to celebrate hitting our subgoal! 12 PM to 12 AM CST! Just Chatting and Lego Building, Mario Maker 2 Trolls + Puzzles, Iron Bros, Jackbox/other community games (Diablo 4?), Spelunky 2, Legend of the Mystical Ninja (SNES), and Stardew Valley!

@zachbussey Thank you! I thought Discord was just hella bugged out, good to know this is a 'feature', even if it's a somewhat sloppily implemented one considering I didn't see anything about it in Discord itself

Wondering why usernames on Discord look like this: z... If a user has set their new username and not set a nickname, AND you are a streamer in Streamer Mode... It protects names from being visible. #StreamerNews #TOSgg

Retweets appreciated. Is there a channel willing to host a small personal fundraiser for someone? I was reached out to help possibly host one, and I'm honestly unable to being very busy right now in real life. It would likely span 1-2 days (not overnight) submissions depending.

@Chardmonkgaming Terranigma. It's generally described as the best of the Soul Blazer trilogy, but I've tried to play it three times and never get very far before I just get bored with it.

I just can't get into Final Fantasy Tactics. This game is too long and bored me to tears. Name a game you just couldn’t get into despite knowing it’s apparently amazing according to everyone else
