Rexy   Judges ⚖️

Since 6 was too many to keep all at once (lol), I'll keep it simple this year. Finish that PlayStation EP - no excuses, this year is the Western release's 20th Anniversary. I need to really focus on that now - especially with all that I learnt since getting re-active on OCR again. Get back to shredding weight - due to my mental recovery and my dad's health (he's good now with his new kidney!), this took a backseat last year. I'm set to focus hard on that nice safe-for-stage frame! Get an empty jar and fill it with good things that happen over the year. I saw this over Facebook once - so instead of worrying about not doing enough for the year, I can look back inside the case and see everything that made me feel GOOD! Basically, all I really want to keep resolving is my wellbeing. I hope this will be enough!

1 - Spyro 2 - Dr. Cortex 3 - Ristar 90s platformers represent!

In my defence, I have a big family - I have 8 sets of aunts / uncles and their offspring, and there's still a handful that are still happy to give me presents beyond childhood. We're close knit for the most part x)

Lots of Sonic and Skylanders merch, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, bunch of Steam games from various OCR members (you know who you are ), The Art of Naughty Dog, Tetris cookie cutters (lol)... AND A DRUMKIT! (Actually it's a tiny desktop drumkit for messing around on xD) It's a good year! \o/

I'm fine with my work being used as long as credit is given. But I know I can trust you to do that, right? :3

Like I said, it's Christmassy - 2 hours of wintery-themed Sega arranges, and I'm giving out prizes throughout the show too. The whole thing is going to kick off in just over an hour with Turbo blasting through. Go join us at the RS stream!

On this day in 2013, Esther Fiona Lloyd came into the world to follow in the footsteps of her parents David (aka our own djp) and Anna. However far she's getting along is still anyone's guess, but from what we've seen and heard from Daddy Pretzel™ himself is that she's been given wonderful care and she loves her parents very much... and djp may have consumed more coffee than he might've done in the past 10 years? Nevertheless, congratulations on hitting one major milestone with the little one! Let's see her keep developing into a fine young lady!

Nevermind orphans, it's the devils of SLEEP that are trying to fend me off! But I got a render coming! Hold onto your inbox, TC! ...and I guess I'll also clean mine >_>

I'm going through some final tweaks too - should be doing good!

Pasted in Community because myself and Sir Jordanius are involved in this! The RadioSEGA staff enjoy not only the niche Sega gaming community but also the people that have done a lot of service to it, including the folks across the remixing community for arranging tunes from various Sega products. It's all about a wintery get-together throughout the entire weekend, complete with loads and loads of prizes to give away! Don't miss out on ANY of them if you want some cool Sega / gaming swag! Turbo will lead the charge this Friday at 8PM, complete with a Christmassy SEGA Mixer Drive at 9, the Opus Science Collective doing a guest mix at 11, the Sonic Show's silly show thing at midnight and Sir J blasting out some beats at 2AM. The rest of the schedule's on the website for you to take a look at and plan ahead your pre-Christmas weekend. You may get some early Christmas presents too! So yeah. Be there and have a good time!

Orphans or no orphans, i'm making good progress. I'll also take the extra day into account as well O.o

I still stress that you should've thought about your Kickstarter rewards as well. Some of the most successful Kickstarters actually offer tier rewards that are relevant to the person / organisation behind it; could be other albums from the artist / group's back catalog, highly-coveted requests for those too-lazy / without-the-tools to do it themselves, or maybe even contribute to the final product in a way beyond just having their name written in small black lettering on the back of some sleeve. You're not meant to go into a KS to attract a "specific" audience - no FF fan would pledge to a KS to end up with some classical music album NOT done by the person that started the KS in the first place; instead, they're looking for something unique and exciting that's either related to the person (hence building up a following) or the wider FF series in general. You want those funds? You got to open lots of doors to get them! Does that make sense? o_O

The kickstarter page itself also looked badly organised - no information on what it's about and why you want to do it? Unclear shipping? Not only are there too many tiers but also a lot of irrelevant giveaways to the cause (i.e. What kind of final fantasy fan would be interested in owning a copy of the Nutcracker suite anyway?). You should have spent more time planning it out and figured out the hows and whys of doing so.

I'm one step ahead of you guys. And so is Mr. Burns.

...my shitty handwriting baffles once again. Yeah, you didn't include anything specific in your wishlist, so I went in the direction of OCR compo references. Making the Elec Man doll was a fun challenge though, and I'm glad everything came in one piece!

Hey Chernabogue - I think Zero's gifting you. He gifted me Abe's Odyssey, Gunstar Heroes and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - 2 retro games and something more recent, and given how ADDICTED I was to the original Binding it's a nice fit! Thanks Cash!

I meant if you actually received anything! xD We still need to get to the bottom on who has Tables's package, haha.

I'd post something if I actually have something - and the only post I've had all week are a few bills. Damned, Chernabogue, what's your statuses?

I'm up for appearing on tonight's Talkback. It's been a while, hasn't it?

I'm very anxious now - the Royal Mail tracking service now states the package is delivered. I hope it came in one piece!

I find it hilarious that some of the staff and artists would throw dignity out of the window and pimp their own work... That said, 15 years is an amazing feat for any website! Here's to 15 more!

Say Chernabogue - assuming we're the only two non-Americans doing this Secret Santa, who do you think will have which? xD

According to the Royal Mail online tracker, the package has hit my recipient's country. Shouldn't be too long now!

Eh? I wrote it, he performed and produced it
