Here's some Snapcube streams I like:
Her Ratchet and Clank Ms. Marathon series, where she played through all the major Ratchet and Clank titles through to Rift Apart, is really strong and builds on the vibes that the games have. I've said it before, but "selling Clank for 640,000 bolts" is one of my favourite Snapcube bits, and that's after a whole game of great bits - and there's like six more game playthroughs with great bits of their own right after that.
One of my favourite playthroughs of the year has been Dragon Quest 8, which ended due to a busted PS3. I really dig on that earnest RPG adventure experience that this playthrough has - it's a great juxtaposition between like some super unique and charming RPG problem-solving and world-building from the game itself, and Penny's characterisation of the silent MC as lame, rude and aloof. The run is incomplete, but the streams that are there are really good and it might get you to play the game for yourself.
Her Sonic Unleashed playthrough with Mar just finished. It took me a few minutes to get into Mar's performance as Chip, like I didn't think I'd like the exaggeratedly cloying kid sidekick characterisation, but it was such a short turnaround from "oh man idk about this" to like gut-busting laughter. Mar takes Chip up to 11 and it absolutely rules, and whether Penny and Mar are bouncing off of each other or doing their own solo bits between Sonic and Chip, the ride literally never ends and it's such a good time. Penny's appreciation of the Jason Griffith era of Sonic really shines through; whether you're a VODhead or mostly acquainted through the Real-Time Fandubs, this is essential viewing.
Both of the Fairly Odd Parents games she covered are great watches. They're cel-shaded PS2 platformers that capture the vibe of the show, even with the PS2-era licensed game crust. One's better than the other, but I even liked the generic cookie-cutter NPC characters in Breakin' Da Rules that don't feel like they fit in with the property's art style, specifically because they were generic cookie-cutter NPC characters that don't fit in with the property's art style. I grew up with the PS2, so even the crustiest PS2 licensed game jank is like chicken soup for the brain.
I can't name every stream in her catalogue because not every game appeals to me, or because I want to get to those streams after I play the games for myself. Penny has done streams for the Norse Mythology God of War games, she's done a Ms. Marathon for the Halo games and the InFamous games, she played through both of the Last of Us games, a bunch of the Resident Evil games, Jak and Daxter, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime, Kingdom Hearts - and the list goes on. I didn't even get to Yakuza 7 (OR MIDNIGHT SNAP I LOVE MIDNIGHT SNAP), and I'm not going back to find a link but it's there.
Measuring by the hour, there's weeks worth of Snapcube video content, and there are video edits on her main channel that are approx. 30 minutes long if the full streams are too daunting for you. Future Snapcube streams and videos are gonna be great fun, but rather than hanging on for the next stream, I wanted to highlight some older streams that I really enjoyed as well as to highlight a large swath of her other stuff for people to potentially go back and enjoy at their own discretion. There's twenty TotK streams. There's fourteen Dragon Quest 8 streams. There's twenty-seven Ratchet and Clank Ms. Marathon streams over 7+ games. The content is there.

ShTh: Damn Damn Damn Hell Hell Hell, look daddy I’m edgy!
Jak and Daxter:
youtube
Reply: lol, I’m reminded of the fact that apparently Sonic was meant to say “I’d hate to piss off GUN” in Westopolis, but was changed to “tick” to better fit the 12+ rating, I suppose. Imagine if they kept that. Imagine Jason Griffith saying “piss” in his hyper Sonic voice.
Also, some consider “You’re going straight to Hell” as a swearword, but not really? It’s not even the only Sonic game where “hell” as a location is mentioned, hello Secret Rings. Here instead they do use it as a swearword lmao.

*shoots flare through dashboard*
I was tagged by @ultrajester for this one. Hey, what’s up, my dude?
heres 11 facts about me to anyone who cares (lol)
1. I’m afraid of eels. Dunno why, or when this happened, but I just cant stand ‘em. I mean, have you even searched up a Gulper Eel before? bloody thing looks like it belong in the Twilight Zone.
2. I have Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder. What does this mean? well, basically, I daydream excessively and have a second world with fleshed out characters and a story in my mind that I have been adding on to for about 9 years. maybe more. Really, as long as I can remember. Its kinda lonely, like being the only one in fandom, where you make all the fanfics. Things can trigger MADD too, such as music, media, art, or basically anything I find interesting. The good thing is it helps me with creative process when it comes to writing. (its not all sunshine and rainbows though) Sometimes I can’t sleep for hours without daydreaming.
3. If I could have a dream job, I’d love to become an author. A fiction author. I’ve always enjoyed reading, I grew up on the harry potter series, Series of unfortunate events, The hunger games, Andy griffiths books, Roald Dahl. I’d just find it absolutely amazing if I created characters that people would cherish or find as a role model.
4. I spent 3 days of my life shiny egg hatching for a mudkip. Got a shiny male mudkip. Named him Tiffany. He can mega evolve too, which is always humorous to see a giant pink buff frog boy called Tiffany.
5. I’m suuuuuuuuuuuper sapphic.
6. My hair (on my head ffs) is currently around 93cm long. 
7. I’m Australian. Not really a fact because it’s in my bio but oh well. G’day mate, chuck another shrimp on the barbie.
8. The term ‘chuck another shrimp on the barbie’ is actually false. We don't say shrimp. We say Prawn. Shrimp is what the government wants you to think, we are all in danger. Does this count as a fact about me? you bet it does. 
9. I play piano! I’m also a freakin’ nerd because I learnt how to play Fun fun fun Dayo (from Lucky Star). Also, I prefer Dub. hoo boy, but thats a controversial debate though, let me just say that I will watch it subbed if the voice actors are bad dubbed, and visa-vera.
10. (almost done!)...right when I start running out of things to say...I sure do love me some vidya games. Theres really no genre i’m into the most, although I do have a soft spot for nintendo games (Breath of the wild looks sicc). My favourite game is Jak and Daxter: Precursor Legacy. It’s an oldy, but boy does it punch my nostalgia in the boob.
11. One time when I was sick and at home, I decided the best thing I could do was create a language. Or at least, recode the english alphabet into hieroglyphic looking codes. I can write fluently in this code, which i’ve named Zout (After the dutch licorice I was downing while sick, seriously its super helpful for colds). I write quite frequently in my work books in zout, people think i’m crazy, and you know what? maybe I am a little. But we all are, y’know? What do you require to be considered normal anyway?
Wow would you look at that, you actually read all the way through. Or maybe you didn’t. (But hey, to the people that are reading this, you’re super cool and talented.)
Ok ok so who do I tag?  whelp, first up, I’m taggin’ @themaskhero, because you my main nintendo fan blog and also you be super cool my dude. Second, I’m taggin’ a new follower of mine, @pictureofaphotograph (omg I love your name dude), aaaaand last...but not least...We gon’ tag @thepsychounicorn, ye whats goin’ on mate, we met at @lord-arden-of-svalgard‘s house remember that? lol alright I’m officially rambling at this point, so THANKS YOU GUYS FOR READING AND PEACE.

Tyler placed his camera into his bag alongside his notebook before slinging it over his shoulder.
“Hey, guys!” He called through the house from the front door. “I’m heading to Mandy’s care home! Anyone want to come?”
He’d expected Matty to come along, and maybe Eliza if she wasn’t busy. What she hadn’t expected was for all of them to decide to join him. (Besides Heather, who at the time was getting ready to go to work.)
They all walked as a group along the streets. Quinn held tight to Eliza’s hand, Damian and Ant arguing about something stupid, Matty skipping and talking about a new song he was working on. Tyler smiled. He loved taking trips out with the others.
The care home was a new building. Mandy had had help from Lauren when raising money for it (Which might’ve been helped by the fact Lauren was constantly followed around by a very large dragon). It stood tall and welcoming, the orange bricks painted over with white paint. The windows were clean, and Tyler could see the flower-patterned curtains inside and a little cactus on one of the window ledges.
He knocked on the door and a small, round woman with fiery red hair answered. Her eyes lit up when she saw the group and she smiled wide. Her face radiated the same warmth and kindness as the building itself did.
“Oh! You’re all here! That’s lovely,” She opened the door and gestured for them all to enter. The inside of the house smelled of brownies. “Gracie… Had to stay home today,” She said sadly, frowning slightly. “But Molly said she might stop by later to help! Until then, feel free to introduce yourself to any of the children.”
“Uncle Ty!”
Tyler barely had chance to look towards the source of the yelling before a blur of pastel colours threw itself at him. He stumbled slightly as he looked down, seeing a small, blonde girl beaming up at him.
“Pixie!” He laughed, picking her up and spinning her around. She giggled, kicking her legs.
He placed her back onto the floor and dragged him into the main room. There was a table in the corner with chairs set up around it. The surface was covered in paper, pencils and crayons. A box of blocks lay scattered on the floor near the window, two small children talking quietly to themselves and building little houses. Pixie pulled Tyler towards the table and made him sit town before climbing up into his lap.
“Look what I drew!”
On the paper in front of her was a drawing of herself, her brother Mikey, a kid covered in band-aids that Tyler could only guess was Jessie, a kid holding a book that was definitely Will, and then Lauren. Tyler smiled. “That’s wonderful, Pix! Where are the other little monsters, anyway?” He asked.
Pixie kicked her legs and picked up another pencil and a new piece of paper, beginning to scribble more people. “Think Mikey an’ Jess are playing football in the yard,” She shrugged. “Mandy said Lauren’s got college an’ she’ll visit us when her lesson is done. Think she’s doin’ English.”
“What about Will?”
Pixie paused. “He’s havin’ a bad day. Mandy said he hasn’t been talkin’ to anyone today, not even her.”
Tyler frowned and nodded. Given Will’s past, moments like this were expected. Tyler turned around to the others, seeing them all looking around. It was their first time really visiting.
“Hey, Quinn?” He said.
The angel looked up, lip red from biting it. “Mm?”
“You remember Will, right? D’you think you can go sit with him for a bit, make sure he’s ok?”
Quinn nodded and turned to leave the room. Mandy walked with her, leading her up the stairs.
The others all looked around, deciding they should probably communicate with some of the kids too. Matty walked out towards the back door, following the sounds of giggles and small voices. He found Jessie and Mikey outside – Jessie up in the treehouse and Mikey on the floor as they threw the football to each other. Matty grinned.
“Hey guys!”
The two turned to look at him and instantly lit up. Mikey grabbed hold of Matty and tugged him towards the treehouse. “Wanna play?” He asked, handing the ball to Matty.
“Hot potato?”
Mikey nodded. “Yeah! But Jess wanted to be higher up, so they’re in the treehouse.
Matty laughed. “Of course, I’ll play.”
——————-
Back inside, Eliza had followed the smell of brownies to the kitchen. A young teen, possibly around the age of 13 if Eliza had to guess, was sat at the kitchen table with a worksheet and a frustrated look on their face.
“Hey, dear,” Eliza said softly, sitting down on the seat next to them. “Do you need help?”
The teen shook their head. “No. I gotta do it by myself or it’s not the same.”
“Oh,” Eliza said. “You know, you’re allowed to ask for help if you’re struggling, dear. It doesn’t make your work any less good. If it helps, I can give you questions like what you’re answering, but with different numbers, and I can show you how that works, and you can apply that to your work. Does that help?”
The teen finally looked up at Eliza and nodded slowly. “Y-Yeah, ok. That works.”
Eliza smiled and picked up a spare piece of paper and a pen from the stack in the corner. She wrote down some questions and handed them to the teen. “Oh, and I’m Eliza,” She said.
“…Nadine.”
——————-
Vikki had taken to the two boys sat on the floor building houses. She sat next to them, slightly floating off the floor. One smiled at her, the other nodded in her direction but kept his eyes on the blocks.
“I’m Gus,” Introduced the blonde boy, lisping slightly due to the missing front tooth. “That’s my brother, Daxter. He doesn’t talk very much but it’s ok because Mandy says I talk enough for both of us.”
Vikki laughed. “Well it’s nice to meet you both. Mind if I build?”
“Sure!” Gus grinned, pushing some blocks towards her. “Why are you floating?”
“I’m a ghost.”
Gus shrugged. “That’s cool. Oh! Here’s this little man, you can stick him on your house when you’re done. I called him Mr Orange because he likes to wear an orange hat.”
“I love that.”
The three build together, Gus occasionally piping up with a silly joke or to ask for a block or ask Daxter for help. Vikki eventually handed Gus her little house with a man on it. “Does this look right to you? I don’t build very often.”
Gus smiled wide and sat up straighter, clapping his hands. “Good! Look, Dax, isn’t that cool?”
Daxter looked up at the house and smiled, nodding.
Gus handed it back to Vikki. “If Dax likes it, that means it’s super good.”
——————-
Quinn hadn’t spoken since she’d entered Will’s room. Instead, she’d curled up on the chair next to his bed, sitting quietly as he slowly rocked himself. If anyone of the group knew how to handle Will, it was her. Forcing him to talk wouldn’t work – She had to wait for him to make the first move.
“Can I see your wings?”
His voice came out soft, cracking slightly. She nodded and stood up, moving to sit next to him on the bed. She closed her eyes and felt her wings appear, shaking and stretching out. It’d been a while since she’d let them out. They were a soft lavender colour, the lower feathers burned and stained with ash from her fall. Will leaned against Quinn’s side, smiling slightly when Quinn wrapped her wings around the two of them.
They sat in silence for a while longer. Will’s eyes closed.
“I was thinking about… Them… again,” Will whispered.
Quinn didn’t need to respond with words. She just wrapped her wings closer around them, a hand taking one of Will’s. Will sniffled and curled up a little tighter against the angel’s side.
“I just wish I could forget it. All of it. Sometimes I can pretend it didn’t happen, but sometimes I can’t.”
Quinn lightly squeezed his hand. “I know, Will. And it’s going to hurt for a while. Maybe for a very long while. But… But there are ways to deal with it if you want that. I can find you some people that you can talk to, and maybe they can help you feel better.”
Will nodded and rubbed his eyes with his free hand. “P-Please.”
Quinn kissed the top of Will’s head. “You’ll be ok. I promise.”
——————-
Ant and Damian walked around together. Some of the other kids were out at classes, but they eventually ran into two kids upstairs in a bedroom, dressed up in costumes. One of them was a little redhead covered in freckles, a gap between his two front teeth and a wide grin on his face as he raised a fake cardboard sword. The other was dressed like a dinosaur, messy blonde hair covering his eyes. His hands were held out in front of him like claws.
“Hey there, boys,” Damian greeted as he walked into the room, Ant following.
Both boys turned, their eyes widening. “Woah!! Your eyes are red!!”
Damian and Ant shared a look and grinned.
“Yep, they are,” Ant nodded.
“Pointy teeth!” The blonde said, looking at Ant.
“Pointy ears!” The redhead yelled, looking at Damian.
“My name’s Damian,” Dami said, smiling and kneeling closer to their height. “I’m a demon.”
“And I’m Ant,” Ant waved. “I’m a vampire.”
Both young boys jumped around, excited.
“I’m Bryan,” The redhead introduced himself, bowing and laughing.
“I’m Danny!” The blonde joined in, striking a pose.
And laughed. “I guess you two enjoy acting? Mind if we join in? Damian would make a great damsel in distress,” He joked, winking towards Damian. Damian stuck his tongue out.
Bryan lit up and ran to a chest at the base of one of the beds, pulling out some accessories. “Of course, you can join in!!”
The four of them acted out scenes, each taking a turn at the different roles until Tyler called them down to leave.
——————-
Tyler hugged Mandy at the door. She smiled, holding out a tin to him. “There’s some treats in there for you all as a thank you for stopping by today.”
Tyler took the tin and smiled back. “We’ll try to come by again soon.”
“Please do,” Mandy said. She looked into the main room where all the kids were now settled in front of the TV with blankets watching a movie. “I can tell they really enjoyed seeing you all. They’d love to have you back.”
“Then we’ll definitely be back,” Eliza promised. The rest of them nodded in agreement.
“Have a good night, Mandy,” Tyler said as the group walked away.
“You too, dear.”
