Congratulations to @sandfallgames.bsky.social for their #GoldenJoysticks sweep. Ben Starr and Jennifer English's speeches were everything. This is why I love these games and the people who breathe life into them from QA, and Devs to stand out performers. youtu.be/m3JXAiQbyXU

Saw an article today about "holding off on buying that big screen tv" I buy the cost of a big screen tv every time I buy necessities at the grocery store, the fuck? So much financial advice seems so divorced from the reality of where costs really are: food, housing, healthcare

I can't argue with any of the nominees for #TheGameAwards but I wish Split Fiction had been in there. But I can't rightfully say what I'd take out. My personal #GOTY though is Expedition 33 and it's not close.

One of my favorite things as an author has been seeing or hearing a good insult some where and immediately writing it down so you can include it in a book.

What's a Game you loved and wish more people knew about? I'll go first:

If you want people to like gen AI, use it to solve actual problems like cancer research, not profit margins. It's that simple.

There are two primary reasons many people get upset about AI, including that used in Arc Raiders: 1. Ethically (it displaces workers, has high energy costs) 2. Enshittification (it's usually much worse than the workers its replacing. Its just cheap and fast) It's unnecessary as is and harmful.

If you cut corners and use shitty AI because you don't want to pay people who are integral to the creative process of games, yes, that should be considered in reviews as a negative. It's a completely and utterly unnecessary enshittification shortcut that Embark took.

You wouldn't know it by looking, but this guy is about to make a poop joke about an RPG.

I am so so freaking excited about this mod.

Firing 40 employees for simply talking about unions and then delaying your game is crazy work. Gross man. Just gross.

Playing some more Veilguard and just happened upon this line

So this little bit of breakdown between #EXODUSGAME and #Osirisreborn got flagged as "shocking content." If you'd like go go be shocked by...aliens? Check it out. There's no tentacles...or bears. Not in the #bg3 way anyway : youtu.be/a81bKYCUdkQ

If you use gen AI in your game i just assume you're trying to cut corners and be cheap. Yes, that includes arc raiders despite all its good features. No reason not to pay actors to say "wires." You're not innovating. You're being cheap.

Two of the games I am the *most* excited for in the coming years: @exodusgameofficial.bsky.social and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from @owlcatgames.bsky.social They feel like two heads of the same coin, and I couldn't be more excited for both. youtu.be/a81bKYCUdkQ

AI has the stink of "trust me bro" vibes but what's undeniably real is the human cost. I cover games mostly so from that narrow slice we've seen thousands of layoffs and cancelled projects all for "trust be bro." Its maddening. Devs who have produced are being cut for what?

Yup youtu.be/wpAQA5VZ6fY

What's your Game of the Year so far? #gameoftheyear

Empathy is one of the greatest human qualities that gives me hope.

Rise, my debut novel, is currently on sale for $0.99 to celebrate the audiobook release! You can pick it up at your favorite book retailer: books2read.com/u/m2MEJr

When I made the RPG channel...this BG3 video exploded. Since then nothing has replicated it until... #expedition33 came along.

New World is a game that exists

Dear All Game Devs.... Please do THIS instead of shoving AI voices into your game.

I know there's a lot of demos out there to play right now but two I'd definitely recommend are the @owlcatgames.bsky.social published CRPG #ShadowOfTheRoad for a promising feudal Japan turn-based experience. And @ofashandsteel.bsky.social for that crunchy old school RPG feel Video reviews below->

I can't be the only one that feels its a lil shitty to give the header ad to a paid advertisement during steam next fest right?

Lets hear it, what's your favorite demo so far from #SteamNextFest ?

One of the things I learned over time is that its a big mistake to consider your opinion to be the majority opinion in just about anything.

Let's have a chat about the upcoming Sci-fi CRPG from @epictellers.bsky.social that looks to mesh together Divinity Original Sin and Guardians of the Galaxy into a nice little package. PS. Sorry about the evil laugh youtu.be/QbjNPYsRWRY

One of the strangest things in the world to me is this type of MMO player: "I want a new MMO!" New MMO starts dev New MMO gets cancelled "Well it probably sucked, so good its cancelled"

massivelyop.com/2025/10/09/f... The company logo is killing me.

The enshittification of AI slop in every avenue is so disheartening man. You can't opt out, you cant avoid it. It's just there. Most recently holy shit spotify. 10 new artists recommended, only one was an actual real artist. This is nuts.

been a while since I played some @playstarsreach.bsky.social and wanted to check out there new onboarding tutorial: its solid and much improved! But nothing has me more excited than seeing this in the skills window

NGL it's been a rough year for content. Getting two 10/10s back to back on the #RPG channel has been tough. It boggles my mind that these are two similar format videos on the same channel only three months apart:

Thank you @larianstudios.com for making #BG3 , a game that gives me the opportunity to instantly regret the videos I make, like this one: youtube.com/watch?v=NzWMmb1xXm8&feature=youtu.be

truly underrated RPG/Action Adventure, had a lot of fun with this game and picking it up on this big of a sale is 100% worth it.

The Lore tease for the new @everquest.bsky.social expansion sounds cool as hell

Gaming right now in a nutshell

My thoughts on the EA sale and how it impacts #Bioware and some of our favorite series like #Masseffect and #dragonage Spoilers: it's a poop sandwich youtu.be/gnB8Wi1pa6s

Please stop shoving ai into everything

Guess where I am?

Making videos like this about great RPGS like #BG3 is my guilty pleasure. youtu.be/D59y2Xxli0o

Empathy is a virtue.

cool so #everquest fits in the new Nintendo patent that never should have been granted. I'm sure nothing bad will come of this.

Re: Nintendo BS youtu.be/WNHNpfIbalI

Just making a video rq...

My #writing channel gets less traffic than my gaming channels so the like/dislike ratio tends to hover around 100% to 98%...Guess which video here suggests that AI is shit and you shouldn't be using it to write or research for writing...

AI so far has essentially just been a shortcut to the enshitification of things. Crappier results in every aspect.

From #Dawnwalker to #Exodus with maybe a little bit of #Enshrouded these are my Most Anticipated RPGs going of 2026 youtu.be/eHOrXRbXSts

I don't know who needs to hear this but the conscious absence or removal of of cultural or political things is *also* political. Apolitical is a myth.
