A friend of mine once had a theory that if I was getting mad at a game, all I had to do was record myself playing the frustrating part to "prove" how frustrating it was, and then that would be the run in which I beat that section. ...So far he hasn't been wrong. 7th attempt, 1st successful.

I have a new video review! I normally I get passed over for review keys, but I was surprised to get one for Yooka-Replaylee from Playtonic. I was just gonna cut down a stream highlight reel but I decided to scramble and make it a proper video. But it's a quickie! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxYL...

Giving the new Ring Racers a spin. I vibe with it a little more but I still think: 1. A non-trivial number of these tracks are bad and frustrating 2. The game is way too punishing 3. When people say the game is too complicated, their response was to add new complicated mechanics

Thinking about REDLINE, appropos of @blazehedgehog.bltn.net's review on letterboxd Fuck... I gotta watch it again... or at least listen to Yellow Line like ten times in a row www.youtube.com/watch?v=doEw...

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

If he keeps this shit up I’m gonna stop using my Renner App

Resharing this again. Other ways to support me in the linked posts (Patreon, KoFi, stores, Beck's stuff, etc). Honestly, it's really stressful. This thing is looking good, but timing is still being sorted. We're out of this apartment 11/30. We don't have a new place yet, so...

FYI if you're in the UK it's not just "adult content" that you'd expect to be blocked for you, but a few other labels that you absolutely cannot trust a tech brained US company's automation to handle properly. The "Sensitive" one, are you fucking kidding me?

They just shouted out Doom WADs and Kaizo Mario romhacks in the fucking British parliament lmao! youtu.be/ONX2KUhyFow?...

Oh wow, Wreckless finally boots in Xemu. It doesn't run super fast on my machine, but this is one of those games I check every time I update Xemu to see if it'll run and it never has before. Feels like a big leap in Xbox emulation.

This is complete hogwash

Ominous

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

Sometimes I worry about how much I need to charge for my indie game, then I see how much "F2P" mobile games charge for a single skin in a live service game that could easily be shuttered in a year. #indiedev #gamedev

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Got two days to assemble all of this footage before the deadline expires on this review code they sent me. CAN I DO IT? (Of course I can. This video's like one third of the length of most of my recent videos)

It's weird to think about how Tetris was made by some guy and isn't much older than I am and isn't a game that's just been around forever with no clear inventor like chess or baseball

I'm always saying this

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

Look me in the eye. And tell me. That David Lynch wouldn't have done this

Can anybody link me examples of video essays on YouTube where someone dropped the f-bomb uncensored and the video reached triple K views?
