Sara's streaming Silent Hill 3 tomorrow 3pm GMT tomorrow - trying to finish the game! Swing by 😊 twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Me: I’m gonna say this so gently, but COD is a known propaganda arm for US hegemony and has ties to the CIA, Abu Ghraib and many others -please don’t be mad at me- COD: makes a “jokey” ad about TSA violating passengers‘ rights and thinks we won’t notice because a white man is getting harassed. 🙂🙃

Our exploration of the newly unlocked parts of Martinaise unfurl further mysteries: of the Feld Building and its history in relation to the World Revolution; a death by the water; and some strange phone calls... youtu.be/Ze-rYk6YuuY

Live with Silent Hill 3 twitch.tv/gameassistyt

We meet a group of kids who want to repurpose hallowed ground for the worship of anodic dance music, but before going to church we find someone we've been looking for! youtu.be/7ijFIxyqO-g

i'm so freaking excited to play Silent Hill 3 you guys

just found out Rama Duwaji is 28. what am i doing with my life. also where do i get an aloof Syrian wife

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Day 3 begins, and it's good to have Kim back, even if Sara can't figure out why they want him to like her so much. We head to the fishing village at last, unravelling many new secrets, and gaining new (older) accommodations. youtu.be/yxe789D8sVU

Before Day 2 comes to a close, we finally meet the Smoker on the Balcony's mysterious Sunday Friend. Let's just say neoliberal gays make Sara homophobic. youtu.be/ICy_xg8bhD0

In the Doomed Commercial District, we talk to ghosts, and finally find a living person among them - a mysterious dice maker who has somehow survived the vagaries of capitalism, which ate whole the rest of the district. youtu.be/iyQ2U2PQxs0

my question to you, Silent Hill fans

Other than Silent Hill 1-4 and Silent Hill f, are there any other SH games you would be curious to see us stream and discuss, particularly for its political themes? 🤔

thinking of finishing the game tomorrow at a similar time! don't let period pain get you down, play Silent Hill

Sara continues the investigation alone, now that Kim has gone to fulfill other, supposedly more important tasks. What is even the point of this game without the problematic cop yaoi? youtu.be/cj5Jl3sxKQc

streaming more Silent Hill tomorrow at 6.30pm GMT 😈 twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Waking up to another day in Elysium, we start unravelling the intricacies of the Dockworkers Union, a path which starts with the militant Hardy Boys and ends with the slimy Evrart Claire. Meanwhile, Lena sends us on the hunt for her husband, the cryptozoologist. youtu.be/b1PL-fOEk1A

Sara investigates the communist ghosts of a run down apartment building; rummages around in the trash; debriefs with Kim; and ends day 1 by slipping into a symbolic nightmare of Lynchian proportions... youtu.be/B3YPLqMXa20

Silent Hill (original) stream tomorrow at @gameassistyt.bsky.social most likely around 5pm BST 😃 twitch.tv/gameassistyt

In this episode of Disco Elysium, Sara finds herself pulled deep into a conversation with a woman who, probably not coincidentally, resembles the Great British Witch: Margaret Thatcher. youtu.be/zQ0LmIM6wwQ

i think in some ways Mad Men tries to do what Bojack Horseman does spectacularly, but to be honest it doesn't do a very good job

Oops! We forgot to post about the first few episodes of Sara's Disco Elysium stream! Catch up with episodes 1-4 on our handy dandy playlist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqHo...

made to play all the silent hill games for spooky season, forced to work

was really anxious about driving cross country today especially on my own for 3+ hours (took 5 hours with traffic in the end lol and the weather + visibility was horrible) but i did it!!! longest drive i've done

The end of Detroit: Become Human is here, and considering how badly this game wants you to be a pacifist, our militant run ends pretty well. Sara consolidates our final list of clumsy race metaphors (which doesn't even feel complete), and shares their final thoughts. youtu.be/toCRgtE8w6M

Live with the last Silent Hill 2 stream - I'll be chatting multiple endings and playing the Born from a Wish scenario! www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt

it's killing me that LIS2 and Lost Records soundtracks are only available on vinyl and not CD 😭

i love it when i fail miserably to get the ending i want for a game live on Twitch 🫩

Live now!!! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

next Silent Hill 2 stream @gameassistyt.bsky.social will be Thursday 6.30pm UK time btw! will be trying to finish the game (and see if i get the ending i wanted 🙏🏽)

ok you guys are getting me excited about silent hill f

Our three protagonists come into contact, and find themselves at crossroads. As Kara and Alice begin their final push to the Canadian border, the deviant hunter Conor confronts the possibility of becoming a deviant himself... youtu.be/bL4tlCnh710

Live now with Silent Hill 2 www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt/

come hang out while i stream one of my favorites 🤌🏽

In their investigation into deviants, Conor and Hank meet the creator of the first androids, who offers some BS philosophising on the nature of humanity (sound familiar?). Sara continues to take Markus down the militant path, and finds some catharsis in it. youtu.be/mTlTNdlShk0

While Conor investigates the fallout of Stratford Tower, Markus must decide between pacifist protest or militant revolution. Kara and Alice are running away from Detroit and the action, and all of this begs some questions about the gender politics of the game thus far. youtu.be/vKqaN0QuuYY

come hang out while i play Silent Hill 2 tonight!!!

Markus makes his speech from Stratford Tower and the player has the opportunity to... within certain parameters... articulate a series of political demands for the liberation of androids. Sara does their best to author an Android Manifesto within the limits set by David Cage... youtu.be/mIkJGFqOuMw

finally felt calm on the motorway today AND did an auto belay class even though i was terrified at first - i no longer know fear 😎

relating to Diane Nguyen is not for the faint of heart. remember how much people *hated* her? and for what 😭

of course BoJack himself isn't a role model but BoJack has become so positive to rewatch - almost 4 years into sobriety and as an abolitionist it's just a beautiful show about how it's hard, but possible, to be a little better every day, when you truly take responsibility for your own actions

Apologies in advance for a slightly choppy recording, because while Kara and Alice make some new friends, Markus engages in his first direct action, and the police (Conor and Hank) face off against lesbian sex worker androids. I know who I'm rooting for... youtu.be/Olbz0iQsLck

Going to stream some Alan Wake II at 1pm BST (in about 45 mins) over at @gameassistyt.bsky.social - come hang out! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

i really, really hate the dog man, but it's the horse man. the horse man is worse

NOOOOOOOOOOO

While Kara tries to find a place for the night for her and Alice, Markus casually rises from the dead like Android Jesus, and Conor finds that he won't be able to proceed with his case if he can't improve his relationship with Hank. youtu.be/hLHHrRiT_tw

Kara and Markus break free of their programming to defend themselves and the ones they love. Conor's "humanity" is perhaps found in confronting the moral quandary at the heart of being a cop: if you want to be a kind, caring person, you shouldn't be a cop at all. youtu.be/NEyYKq3yX_A
