Just had this as an early birthday present! @jacobgeller.com is a phenomenal writer/video essayist, one of my favourites for years now. His stuff bridges the gap between gaming, history and art, providing deep, philosophical and personal insights into how games impact us. A class act all the way! 😃

Found out today that generating a five-second AI video consumes roughly the same amount of energy as playing PS5 for five hours, or running a microwave for an hour non-stop. So the choice between either producing one pic of AI Slop or an afternoon of Devil May Cry 5? Not a tough decision, is it? 😎

My first game character model bug! Did I do it right, Ubisoft? Am I a real developer now? 😂

But I already have MY own likeness! Why the heck would anyone need this on YouTube?! 🤣 I don't need some algorithm doing a weekend impression of me when I'm not uploading! “Hello fellow humans, I am AstarVexxExe. 000111010100 TELL ME YOUR SECRETS! 🤖"

If you're a musician, but slowly getting invested in the power and speed of AI-generated music THAT much, sell all of your instruments & equipment right now, and use only AI to make music, from now on, for the rest of your life. Don't need all that stuff anymore, do you? 🎸 Go on. I dare you. 🙂

😊

Lotta people are posting 2016 vs 2026 photos, soooo here ya go! 😃

I've had this image in my head for several months now and have to get it out

I volunteer at a music course where we teach people with mental health issues to write songs, play instruments, perform onstage, etc and we work with someone who's uploaded 11 ALBUMS in SunoAI. 285 SONGS of AI-nonsense! Doesn’t really align with our goal of learning and skill-building, does it?! 😡

😡😡😡 Not. Happy.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Here's all three of my solo albums on Youtube for FREE! Enjoy! youtube.com/channel/UCpX...

People selling AI Slop should be considered scamming people out of their money because it's NOT art. AI Images, AI-written Books, AI-made Music, it's all bullshit and I will never ever support it and neither should you. AI Artists are not artists. Passion is found in the process, not the result.

How about a TV quiz show, where you answer trivia questions while playing Beat Saber at the same time? That'd be sweet :)

Happy New Year, everyone! 🎊🎉🎈🍷🌹🥳🍾

Obligatory reminder that YouTube routinely takes money to advertise gambling sites on the videos it hosts. The platform falsely punishing users for “promoting” gambling is one of the biggest gambling promoters online.

Still one of my favourite videos of all time. It's nearly 11 years old but I still have SO many questions! xD Why is he telling us all these obscure recipes? Why are there panties & eggs stapled to his greenscreen? Why does he randomly burst into flames at one point? 🤣 youtu.be/GbvGQvZCkbc?...

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

Just started Muppet Christmas Carol and YEP, still my favourite Xmas film, still makes me laugh, and still makes me cry. It's funny without undercutting the sadness, it's warm without being mushy, and silly while still being emotionally mature. It's perfect. ♥️🥹🎄☃️🐸

Only negative I can find with Expedition 33 (other than the Picto UI) is that I keep having this game-breaking bug when fighting Renoir. Once "Une Vie À T'aimer" starts playing, I'm stun-locked IRL and can't move or breathe or do anything. 😵

All that AI processing power draining the entire world of it's valuable resources, and all it can muster is a Vampire Survivors rip-off! GARBAGE!!!! 🤣 www.eurogamer.net/heres-the-wo...

333% Deserved. Legit, one of the best games I have ever played. I am inspired. 🌹🗡️🎨

Oh look what I predicted!!!!!! youtu.be/RiavNl4qxWY?...

Oh yeah, bet the studio lost a TON of sleep over typing "GronkGBT, pls make a mcdonads ad where Xmas is bad but Mcdonkaldz hamkburger is best thing evaaa!". Sad, pathetic and cringe. Not lovin' it. (Also, saying "AI didn't make this" after you spent several weeks writing AI prompts is stupid!)

Had to redo my main character model due to a corruption error migrating it to my Nvme, and in the space of ONE night, I got him from standing in a T-pose, to working idle animations, walking, running, snap-turning, jumping, drawing his sword, doing a 5-hit sword attack and then putting it away! 🥳

OH. FUCK. YES. I remember playing the original back on Windows 95, this was my jam! Gimme! youtu.be/W_Q-zLbsaA4?...

I'm surprised a spinoff racing movie/series hasn't been made exclusively around Pod Racing. Star Wars' very own Redline, it would be wicked!

Think anyone's ever made love while listening to the Crash Twinsanity soundtrack? 🤣 youtu.be/XfGHswP7VSc?...

Kinda odd that a lot of my favourite RPGs came out BEFORE FF7 took over everything. Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana, Terranigma, Super Mario RPG, Illusion Of Gaia, Breath Of Fire 2, Dragon Ball Z: Super Saiya Densetsu, all bangers, all brilliant. ....Especially Terranigma, but nobody played it! 🤨

One of my favourite things to do is colour grading the live-action Disney Remakes to imagine what they'd look like in ACTUAL colour. 🌈

Dubbing Voice Actors have said they earn less for an entire season of anime than they would from just ONE commercial voiceover gig. And now Amazon are like: “Cool, now we can replace you with the blandest algorithm for $3.50!” Fuck that shit! Pay them well! Pay them NOW! It's about fucking time!

SO, turns out someone on the McDonalds creative team is a Spongebob fan! 🤣

I'd honestly rather play Bubsy 3D or Superman 64 than a game made entirely by AI! 😂

Going from Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 to Sonic Racing: Crossworlds is like emotional whiplash! 😂 One minutes it's like: "Not everyone is going to make it....We've lost so many already...." 🎭💔😓⚔️ 🎨 Next minute it's like: "YEEEEAH, UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC AND RAINBOWS, WOO, CATCH ME IF YA CAN!" 🌈✨🚗 🎸💖

Hey, critters. If you use Chrome, new update has activated robot. Use image below. You can kill robot.

This new Enya Inspire guitar of mine has a 15W bluetooth speaker built *into* the body of it and it is AWESOME! 💖 No amp, no pedals, no cables, I can play it anywhere, run different preset sounds and FX, I can play backing tracks and drum machines through it, this is great! :D I'm unstoppable!!!! :D

State of Play Japan airs on YouTube tonight (Nov 11) at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 11pm CEST / 10PM GMT | Nov 12 at 7am JST If a Bloodborne remake or remaster is even mentioned, I will PERSONALLY trade-in my PS5 for a PS5 Pro to play it in its nicest quality until PS6 comes out. And that's a promise! 😠

New Guitar arriving tomorrow! 🎸 Something very different....

Trump just stands there after a man collapses during a press conference. How is this not an Onion News article? This is insane, this man is insane! www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Predicting it now, THIS is how America will look in about.... two years. Donald Trump is basically Immortan Joe if you swapped the desert fortress for a golf resort. Immortan Joe promises water. Trump promises greatness. Both love the poorly educated.

You can't taunt enemies in Devil May Cry 2. That should've told me everything way back when 😂

Does anyone else remember this cartoon from the 90s? I feel like I watched maybe two episodes of it when I was about 8, but it always stuck with me for just being such a wacky premise. 😂

Lukewarm Take: Starfox Adventures is actually pretty good. People are just mean. 🫤

Amazing quote I heard from @joshstrifehayes.bsky.social : "Me and the Comments section do a tiny amount of Psychic Chip Damage every time you see them but nothing heals that back." And as someone who's been on YouTube my entire adult life, is it any wonder why I've gone unlisted for a while? 😅

I gotta say, we've been SPOILED this year. Expedition 33 may have forever changed it's genre. Hades 2 and SilkSong practically perfected theirs. And Split Fiction, Kingdom Come 2, Blue Prince, Doom Dark Ages, Death Stranding 2, Nightreign, Shinobi, Ghost Of Yotei, Sonic Crossworlds, aaaaaa!

Watching people speedrun Devil May Cry 1 is turning me into one of those guys that shout at the TV when the football's on. "WTF ARE YOU DOING?! YOU'RE WASTING SO MUCH TIME! JUST TURN RIGHT, YOU CAN SKIP GRIFFON AND JUST PUNCH THE DOOR! WHY AREN'T YOU USING DT?! OR THE HOLY WATER?! RUUUUUUN!!!"

If this is true, Microsoft are gonna be COOKED 🔥 Let's hope it's just a rumour. 🫤 www.vice.com/en/article/n...

I think Pixar should team up with Peter Jackson to re-release the original LOTR trilogy to include a fully-rendered CGI Mike Wazowski, so he can be part of the group and have a musical number called "Put The Ring Back Where It Came From, Or So Help Me!"
