If Sensodyne wasn't a toothpaste it'd be a move in Shin Megami Tensei for revealing all the enemy weaknesses or something

Right now is the time for people who have interesting things to write or make videos to get after it. The media empires have kicked out all their talent, and people that want actual experts and not just talking heads who spew bullshit all day, are looking for people to support and follow.

It's Fully Ramblomatic's first ever supercut as @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social and @secondwindgroup.com compile all of their indie game reviews so far for all the "GAMING IS DYING!" doomscrollers... (and yes, there are new segments to justify its existence in the YouTube algorithm) #FizzVsGaming

We crushed it on Second Wind in Q3. Typically a slower quarter, but as we close in on year two I’ve never been more confident in our business for the longterm. We had such a crazy start, and of course some rough patches early on, but we’re in a good spot now. Read our latest quarterly report.

Yeah, methinks someone at @secondwindgroup.com was having fun at @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social 's expense here. XD www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bHU...

Still a lot of people that seemingly don’t know we’re all @secondwindgroup.com now making the best stuff we’ve ever made. There’s literally nobody left working on video at the old site. Just a dead brand being used for name recognition for gambling shit.

Today marked a new first: the first time I ever literally fell asleep while playing a video game. Won't say what it was, for now, but it won't be getting high marks, I tell ye that

This week on Yahtzee Tries, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social checked out CloverPit, Hotel Barcelona, Carimara, and House of Necrosis!

It's a love / hate relationship for @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social and Hollow Knight: Silksong. Here's this week's episode of Semi-Ramblomatic!
