I should pop my Shadowbringers fishing achievement in an Endwalker zone, and see if anyone notices.

The stream is over! We stayed with the SNES Classic version of this game, and made some good progress. We'll be back on Saturday with Digital Devil Saga 2, and next Sunday with more Super Metroid.

We missed a few chatters on YouTube, sorry about that! We'll be sure to tab over to the multistream chat next time we're live.

For now we raided @XyzzySqrl who's playing Secret Files 2.

The stream is over! We got Cielo back in the party in Digital Devil Saga 2, but we've yet to reunite with Sera. We also have Roland, a new party member. We'll be back next Saturday with more DDS2. In the meantime, we'll be back later tonight with more Super Metroid. No raid tonight. It's late.

It's Slow Burn Saturday! Let's discover why the sun has been corrupted, and just who Angel is in Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2.

We also have a very special goal. When we get 300 followers on Twitch, we'll stream Pit Fighter on the Sega Genesis for you. This is a retro game that's quite infamous. Help us reach our goal!

In our livestream of Super Metroid, @silver_huskey complains about her lacking skills when it comes to beating the second boss. This game definitely has a period of adjustment, especially if it's new to you.

Random Roar: Talking About My Games Backlog, Part 2
It's been nearly two months since part one? Wow, time flies.

We beat the first boss in our Monster World IV filler stream. It's a Sega Genesis platformer with beautiful sprite work and an interesting story. That said, we won't be revisiting it in the near future, if ever.

Random Roar: Watch What You Say… Literally
If there's one thing I've been noticing a lot lately, it's the use of artificially generated captions for videos.  On YouTube, for example, many of the shorts uploaded to the site contain captions built into the video itself, even though we can usually hear what's being said, no problem.  I assume they're intended

The stream is over! Our run of Super Metroid was a little cursed because of getting used to the game, and the quirkiness of the SNES Mini. We'll be back on Saturday with some Digital Devil Saga 2. We raided @MK who's playing Pokemon Unite.

Check him out: https://www.twitch.tv/mk_emkay

You know that moment in a game where you're actually at the final boss, but don't realize it? Yeah, that was totally @silver_huskey during her run for us last Sunday.

Channel J: Four of My Favourite Doctor Who Headcanons
I still think it would be nice if someone from Canada got a chance to run Doctor Who for a few years. I'm not that expensive to hire!

The stream is over! We finished Beyond Oasis, even after pausing to show off convention swag. After that we played Monster World IV as filler. We'll be back next Sunday with Super Metroid.

We raided Mini_Lilly who's currently playing Mount & Blade: Warband.

Check her out: https://www.twitch.tv/mini_lilly

The 100 Floor challenge in Beyond Oasis is tough. We beat the challenge, but only just barely here.
