Trickiest thing for me to grasp (heh) was the timing on the command grab counter #Onimusha

Thinking Bout: Romeo Is A Deadman Something happened while making this that convinced me I had Kojima's prescience, but you'll have to watch it all to find out youtu.be/L2iV2I8Il60

Passing Thoughts: Ninja Gaiden 4 Combos? In MY action game??? youtu.be/RVVAKcY_hKg

thinking of doing a 'Revisiting' series to return to games i already reviewed and see if i can reappraise them helps that the newest version of Cemu doesn't require any external applications that mimic downloading from the Nintendo eShop

Sneaki Breeki: Velvet Assassin youtu.be/dD3VjKsQRFE Seriously, how do you fuck up tall grass stealth like that?

Metal Gear Solid Delta: (STILL) Not Feeling It Back ... with a vengeance! youtu.be/dNZfEac5Khs

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Not Feeling It Not so much a takedown of the game itself, but an appraisal of the trajectory of video game remakes in the wake of RE2 (2019) onwards youtu.be/l8mra0_MaVo

Stranded In: Metal Gear Solid 3: The Sorrow's B̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ River youtu.be/aDRomM4jX7I Replaying Snake Eater got me #nooticing again

This boy Gucci'd down to the socks but still needs $20

Passing Thoughts: SNATCHER Reporting for duty youtu.be/H_rbMFwl6tM

Beat Metal Gear 2 for the first time Bit harder to get into from MG1 bc I had to relearn how sightlines worked, but I can see the blueprint that led to MGS1 Again, supports my theory that Kojima's design is borne from Adventure Game Logic (looking at you, Owl)

Beat Metal Gear Solid 2 again after so many years It's a cliche, but Kojima's prescience about the digital age will forever be his greatest quality as a writer The throughline from this to the modern Metal Gears and even Death Stranding is a straight shot

Beat Metal Gear for the first time Hit a wall at some point and consulted a walkthrough Worth playing to see the early gestation of Kojima's ideas, but supports my theory that his immersive design is rooted in Adventure Game Logic instead of an im-sim background

Beat Snatcher for the first time Out of everything, I'm surprised at how "short" it is Fallout 4 owes Kojima money

Going through the Mightreya playtest No tutorial yet, but I'm getting the hang of combat and how meters factor in damage I see where WZN's come from the Overclock system in Assault Spy and mixed in some Bayo-isms youtu.be/ZR0v46S1ueo

Trying Out: NextFest (June 2025) Micro-what? youtu.be/SnfNNKGG7KU

Went back to the Aeromachina demo to see if I could find a better method You don't have to keep the afterburner revved up if you're not gonna use it - just rev it preemptively when you know you need the burst Doublejumping after every bunny hop maintains speed and handles turns better

Trying Out: Mechanical Fury (Demo) Got early access to a demo that just dropped today and put my thoughts out. youtu.be/SBUKK-CSGAA

Tried the SSR Wives' demo in a genre that's got as much overexposure as soulslikes, it manages to stand out from other indie survivor horror games with strong presentation and music

Tried the Aeromachina demo Friend told me that once you get all the upgrades, you can really blaze past everything with the shmoovement, and it's almost like bunnyhopping in how you need to time your jumps to preserve your momentum Downside is the Afterburner's constant noise

Gonna have to make a self-imposed embargo on covering Cruelty Squad-likes if looking at them for too long gives me a migraine

i would love to know why i always get only 1 dislike on all of my videos is there someone cockwatching my channel or are those each different people disliking my vids?

Sneaki Breeki: Crysis 2 The game's promo song is so right, 'Prepare for disaster,' indeed youtu.be/csQhsjL-SJQ

Watched Ballerina + extremely funny to couch it between Ch 3 and Ch 4 + respect for not playing up [REDACTED]'s cameo (No not Him) + the beam struggle is, in fact, hype and aura - i think it reveals too much of the world - villain should have been fleshed out more 🍿🍿🍿🍿

I had to grind for this view

finished the script and audio for the next vid now i can finally be rid of this game from my hard drive

Beat Half Life 2 again for the b-roll Forgot a lot of the back half of the game and had to redo several sections Cool buildup but I really dislike the Strider setpieced

Oh yeah my writeup for yesterday’s State of Play: s’good

Replaying MW2 to get b-roll on a specific chapter and it’s the only edge case where I appreciate being able to skip No Russian

Every time I see the Ghosts of Yotei lead, I get Slumdog Millionaire flashbacks to this

I like how I'm seeing this more often than actual tweets nowadays

Thinking Bout: Skin Deep It's cute how she refers to bullets as 'beans' youtu.be/cLQfL-euLek

incoming

Sometimes this counts as an instant win and sometimes it doesn't I think it all has to do with whether the heads survive the blast or not #SkinDeep

played Bioshock for the first time in over a decade it's still so good it makes you forget about Binfinite

I should be working on the video but I keep finding excuses to play the game under the pretense that I'm missing footage for certain scenarios #SkinDeep

Man I do *not* wanna work on the Crysis 2 vid

Huh Cruelty Squad doesn’t play as bad as I thought it would Got used to the atypical control scheme surprisingly fast

Skin Deep updated and the changelog looks good, but I think they should roll this back bc it's too funny to remove The game should force you to be mindful of what you're handling like Receiver but goofier

beat Quadrilateral Cowboy held off on this bc i wasn't that great at my programming class in high school, but it's a testament to the game's design how well it streamlines the process to learn its simple scripts middle part kinda sags with the Crack in Time missions

3 hours into Quadrilateral Cowboy

Beat Skin Deep If I didn't already have Promise Mascot Agency as my indie GOTY, this would have locked it in Takes everything that Brendon Chung and Blendo Games have done and refines it into a cohesive experience Replaying to clear every challenge bf working on script

Watched #Sinners twice Spoilers ahead, but I had some thoughts about the film's themes, as I think it's more than just 'don't trust those honkeys'

uninstalled all of them someone stronger than me can do the work to make that video i'd rather wait for Ninja Gaiden 4

Thinking Bout: Promise Mascot Agency So is Ronald McDonald a Mr Mime situation? youtu.be/3zB5xDAnyz0

Trying to diagnose why GTA V stutters despite showing 187 FPS in the benchmark, and it turns out you have to cap the framerate at 60 But if you don’t want Vsync input delay, you need to add a cmd to a text file in the game folders called ‘Command Prompt’ R* apparently knows but does nothing

Beat Promise Mascot Agency s'good working on the script rn
