YAY FROGS

Wait til @kaizengameworks.com find out what my phone background pic is

IMO 99% of games have not enough water but that’s just me you know

My ringtone is better than yours and that’s because it’s this song from Promise Mascot Agency youtu.be/jritIudMtQI?... @kaizengameworks.com

Why are we using past tense here

This is how I feel when teachers pronounce that a student’s work is AI because it lacks specificity. I mean maybe, but also, it’s such a common human error that in Year 11 we gifted our English teacher a stamp saying “BE MORE SPECIFIC” so she wouldn’t have to keep writing it on everyone’s papers

Now that I've just discovered @pixeladay.bsky.social, thanks to @realdavejackson.bsky.social, I now get to do my favorite thing and binge the channel. It's my favorite ways to explore new creators. If you haven't seen her latest on Wanderstop and Celeste it's a must watch.

👏👏👏

What do Wanderstop, Celeste, humanistic psychotherapy, and my shitty 2025 have in common? Watch my new video to find out!

Wildly good video. Get it watched

Have you watched my latest video? (And have you shared it if you enjoyed it?👀) Here's what people are saying about it! "This might be your best video" "a timeless masterpiece" "Yep and that's me crying" "extremely inspiring" "This came at such a perfect time" "I think I needed this video." "Meh"

Yep and that's me crying. Absolutely beautiful video.

Beautiful comment *wipes tear from eye* I do have the correct opinions on water levels

***New video is out!*** About what Wanderstop and Celeste have to say about self-acceptance, and how all of it got very personal for me last year. Video here: youtu.be/op6c1FaliyQ Support me here: patreon.com/pixeladay

I complained in my second ever video about this mechanic feeling tired in Horizon Zero Dawn and that game is neatly a decade old

New video coming VERY SOON and it's gonna be a personal one folks

The new video is being polished off. If you're not a lucky early access patron, you'll have to wait a few more days 👀

Then & now

I’ve never done A/B testing, my secret is only ever having (at most) one thumbnail idea that doesn’t suck

Went to the zoo today and I just wanna say I would die for this little guy

Game recognising game

Remoctopus

Watching season 2 of Culinary Class Wars and praying this doesn’t awaken anything in me

Fuck yes

ICYMI

I had a mate Ben who bragged about being the original “Benjamin” in WoW. No 1s, no 3s, just Benjamin. I’ve never seen anyone so proud

Some people want to meet their favourite actor or pop idol. I just want to meet the former finance minister of Greece

It's honestly difficult to think of anything that GenAI could usefully do for me re: the channel. The closest thing would be video editing I guess. Finding and inserting clips can be fairly boring, and theoretically AI that could do that might save time on what is largely "drudge" work -

I suppose now is as good a time as any to clarify this, but I've never used GenAI for any Pixel a Day videos or articles, in any capacity. I am a much better writer than ChatGPT is, and there is nothing it could do to help me with the process of coming up with a video idea. (1/3)

Treasure stag

We're hitting the streets today to protest this POS and our prime minister's baffling decision to cozy up to war criminals

Finally got round to watching @pixeladay.bsky.social's video on Blue Prince. Really good, comprehensive portrait of one person's attempt to make sense of a fascinating and often brilliant game that nonetheless has kinda bad puzzle design youtu.be/RYQl5hcipUM?...

Already can't wait for the @skipintroyt.bsky.social ep on this

Final bump for my new video. What does Mouthwashing feel like to play, what makes it creatively unique, what does it have to say about abuse and complicity, and what on Earth does a company mascot have to do with any of it??

Just watching the tennis and realising that the Kazakhstan flag reminds me of the colour palette of In Other Waters and I like that

I can see by the lack of reposts that either no one here has seen the film or no one agrees with me

As an OG fan of the 28...Later films ever since I saw 28 Days Later in the cinema as a 14 year old and it ruined me, it makes me very happy that the franchise is still thriving and doing cool stuff, that said Bone Temple is not as good as the previous one and everyone saying that is tripping

Sorry I know I'm contributing to the outrage machine here, but god I'm just baulking at the idea that games critics need to be MORE aware of how negatively gamers feel about us and our work, that we are somehow oblivious to it. "Did you know many people don't like your criticism of Game?" My guy.

Here's one I got just last week! This is a pretty typical one actually. The cruelty from commenters is incredible and constant. People who have never created anything in their life going, "Hey, I noticed ONLY 30 thousand people have seen the thing you made. That's not much. You kinda suck huh"

Extremely funny to somehow not be aware that the most rancid, cruel, soul-calloused people in this space are not games critics but the reply guys who mass harrass and dox them

@pixeladay.bsky.social and @jacobgeller.com videos. Good eats. youtu.be/EHN5zToH3n8?...

Do you feel like watching a neat video about a neat game? My new video on Mouthwashing is out, and it's a very digestible length!

Even though I adored Mouthwashing, I never found an appropriate angle to tackle it analytically, so I'm glad to see smart, thoughtful folk write about it in my stead

***New video is out!*** What you’ve done cannot be undone, nor forgiven. It can only be taken responsibility for. This is a video about Mouthwashing. Video here: youtu.be/EHN5zToH3n8 Support me here: patreon.com/pixeladay

Coming later this week - a video essay about Mouthwashing

It was my pleasure to hang on this stream last night :) Go check out Nina's FINAL stream next weekend and help her raise some much needed dollars!

I hope you will all TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and watch my upcoming video essay on Mouthwashing. Coming soon.

Somebody please help me stop playing Against the Storm

Having a little wine tonight purely to celebrate making it to the end of Darkwood (just barely, by the skin of my teeth). Christ what a game - more than twenty hours of endurance and survival in a rotting evil forest, half of the time squinting coz it's so dark you can't see shit

I'm not even a game dev but this was an interesting read!
