This is my 10th year participating in #ExtraLife This year I'll be doing my 24-hour stream on December 13th. A goal we hit is me doing a 12-hour Karaoke stream in December. If I reach $2,500 before the stream I'll do a full hour that is all Creed and Nickelback www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fu...

In completely unshocking news, Even In Arcadia is an incredible album from Sleep Token. The shape of the sound of each track is masterful. Vessel and II just understand the emotional power and art of music that it makes it impossible for me not to feel it in my core as I listen to what they create.

Gods... this Damocles track from Sleep Token is really hitting me in the feels. It's ultimately a song about a dread most can relate to. Once I stop, with stopping ranging from ending what you do or leaving this existence, will I be remembered? Is what I've done enough? What is my legacy?

Especially this.... "Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself" I get in my own head more often than I ever talk about. I just don't talk about it because I convince myself, wrongly, that my struggles are nothing compared to those others have. It's sometimes hard for me to allow myself to feel.

It's why songs like this hit me like a truck. They are so relatable to what I feel and often what I hide. Now, I have no problem crying in public at movies or anything like that, but expressing emotions is different than the pain we choose to keep. Anyway, Sleep Token continues to rule.

The bridge is just an emotional gut punch "And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell" I hide my grief and anxiety well. I feel this HARD.

Everyone should play Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion III. This is doubly true of you’re a game developer. You’ll laugh and cry, mostly at the same time. Not like, cry from laughing. But laugh then realize “oh that’s too true” then cry.

10 hours into Blue Prince and I'm still learning new concepts. Not strictly in terms of the game introducing new ones but about patterns I didn't completely understand that the game doesn't outright tell you. I feel like some are too focused on the puzzles in rooms versus the puzzle of the house.

I’m convinced Mox wants to have a Bloodline-esque thing but in “Mox style” and yeah it just isn’t working. There isn’t anything interesting here. It’s a story that has been and continues to be stagnant. Nobody cares about the matches at this point. You’ve felt it the last few PPVs.

I don't have time at the moment to gush about how much I love Caramel by Sleep Token but, y'all... it's so good. Incredibly sad song! I'll probably talk about it more later. Listen while reading the lyrics. Very real, and something that lots of artists experience.

GAVIN NEWSOM: So, again, you were talking about the importance of- EDGAR THE BUG WEARING HUMAN SKIN FROM MEN IN BLACK: SUGAR WATER GAVIN NEWSOM: Yes, sugar water. And my party hasn't acknowledged how much people love sugar and water. My son was shouting SUGAR WATER at me the other day on xbox.
