Gamer dad doing some streaming, yapping, and maybe posting some other fun stuff in his free time.
Just having a look over here in case the blue butterfly app goes up in smoke.
If you're here and bored on a Monday, I do a little streaming over at https://www.twitch.tv/dexdoinggames
I kinda want to dive into Hollow Knight -- another game that I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED BY NOW what with Silksong's recent release and whatnot...
But another streamer friend is also doing their first playthrough and I would really REALLY hate to make it seem like I'm trying to steal their thunder. I played a fair amount of action/platformer things like Adventure of Link, DuckTales, Metroid, and such before "Metroidvania" became a thing... so I'm anxious to see how Hollow Knight feels. But I can wait.
There's a little family stuff that will need attention tomorrow in the morning, so we might see about sneaking in a mini midnight stream tonight as well as an evening one tomorrow.
We'll be yapping through the second round of Moxxi's Underdome, possibly the third if all goes well.
Alrighty. I've got tomorrow and Monday off, which means there's a stream on Monday. Thinking I'll split it into 2 separate games between 8:30am and 2pm CST.
Tentative plan:
8:30-11:30 - Borderlands. Continuing from New Haven where we left off. If I get a few levels, I might try jumping into Moxxi's DLC for a bit.
If we skip Moxxi:
12:00-14:00 - Minecraft. Going to pick a town and settle in. First objective will be find a nearby cave and monster spawner, second will be to whip up an iron farm.
Busy, busy, busy... but, hey, have a #KPDH inspired cake.
Haven't got any images or deco sets, but we can still be creative and dance along the gray areas of copyright law to give a kid what they want for their party.
Holy moly, I wish this place had Photoshop or Krita and a decent selection of fonts. We have hundreds of images, many with preset text, and all of a dozen generic fonts to choose from -- most of which don't match preexisting text on things or mimic any style
For example...
There are a lot of Minecraft options, but 0 fonts that look like they'd come from the game. Nothing remotely close to that blocky "MINECRAFT" on the title screen. It's criminal.
Maybe I'm being overly cautious with the warnings, but I recall seeing something about labeling anything that may remotely connect to death, so... gravestones, the undead, and gothic iron fences... y'know?

If you don't hear five teenagers with attitudes shouting out prehistoric animals, we can't be friends. /j
