Ballistic Bread Baking with BallisticToaster!

[Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from a text conversation I had with a friend in December 2020 that I decided to spin out into its own post about how I make my own bread. The recipe itself is pulled from various recipes and YouTube videos online, especially from Binging With Babish. Some things have been added, many grammatical mistakes were corrected, and a few sentences have been changed to make it flow better.…

This Week at the Crumb Club – April 10th, 2023

Happy Easter everyone! Hope y’all had a wonderful weekend with friends, family, and loved ones. This week at the Crumb Club, we’re settling down a bit. It’s been a hectic week from unleashing the Sinister Six in Spider-Man Remastered to hoarding shines in Super Mario Sunshine, fishing with Del Lago in Resident Evil 4 Remake (with Toasty bait to boot), and booping the snoots of Big Daddies across Rapture in Bioshock not to mention all…

This Week at the Crumb Club: April 4th, 2023

This Week at the Crumb Club, we’re engaging in a little spring cleaning. With the first Ramadan schedule behind us, we started off on a high note (heh) with Hi-Fi Rush, continuing with another round of Leon’s wacky European adventure in RE4Remake before capping things off with Metroid Prime: Remastered. These late-night streams have been fun, and it feels great to get back to a regular cadence once more! Today we’re going to touch on…

This Week at the Crumb Club: March 27th, 2023

Happy Monday and Ramadan Kareem! This week at the Crumb Club, we’re moving fast in more ways than one. With the completion of Dead Space Remake, we also played RE4make on stream and spent some time getting acclimatized to all the changes that have been made to its combat, pacing, and moment-to-moment gameplay. As someone who loved the OG RE4, it’s been an excellent time and I can’t wait to see more of this game!…

This Week at the Crumb Club – March 19th, 2023

This week at the Crumb Club, we’re moving fast and breaking things with exactly the kind of pace you’d expect from yours truly: This week was more laidback state of affairs, starting with a playthrough of A Way Out with CyberGamingX1 and a brief Destiny 2 stream in memory of the late Lance Reddick. For those who were able to attend any of these streams, I wanted to take the time to say thank you.…

Happy Sunday, you lovely bunch of weird-doughs! This week at the Crumb Club, we’re taking a breather; it’s been a compact week with three back-to-back streams all in a row and we’re slowing down a bit to collect our thoughts in preparation for the week ahead. While these blog posts have always been reflective pieces discussing the state of the stream, this will be a small peek behind the curtain as we explore new features…

This Week at the Crumb Club: March 5th, 2023

This week at the Crumb Club, we’re Marching forward. With the second month of 2023 firmly behind us, it’s time to discuss the state of stream as this week comes to a close and a new one looms over the horizon. As Dead Space Remake and Metroid Prime Remastered slowly near completion, Bioshock 1 was reintroduced (thankfully with no errors or issues!) and we also began Donkey Kong Country 2 with FamiliarDan. But aside from…

The plan is for these posts to follow the completion of any weekly schedule I post and to discuss upcoming changes, new features, and findings from the past week to provide a better…

Toasty’s OBS Setup: Touch Portal & Meme Scenes

In the first OBS setup post I published, I made mention of external stream control tools such as the Elgato Stream Deck and how they can greatly streamline and automate aspects of streaming especially if you only have one monitor. Today we’re going to be focusing on one such example that makes streaming much more convenient, only relies on a tablet or smartphone, and enables moments such as this: Meme Scenes If you’ll recall part…
