As the industry tightens its belt to keep shareholders happy, the devs at the lowest rungs are the ones that get hit the hardest. It's this, or exiting public trading for private equity, usually Saudis now.

Turns out, the game has been made unavailable to purchase ahead of the shutdown. Physical copies still connect, but that clock is ticking hardcore

I'm going for the platinum before it dies. Wish me luck

I wanted to do a straightforward video on Mindseye, but the more I learned about its production and how the devs were treated, the more complicated things got. The story is so much worse than the game itself, and a lot of people only touched on that story in favor of "game bad".

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hssr... This was a phenomenal video by @summoningsalt.bsky.social that examines the nuance of whether Speedrunning is dying. I feel like this change in trends can apply to the wider Youtube gaming sphere as a whole. Great work and impeccable research as always!

Several games didn't make this list, but honorable mentions were Hades 2 and Mario Kart World. Hades 2 would've probably been there if I had the time to play it, but there were genuinely too many games this year, and I didn't have time! On the other hand, Mario Kart World was unfun to complete.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfur... Happy holidays everyone! It was a little bit in the making but new year, new list of best games! This has been one of the best years for new games in a long time, so picking ten was tough but a lot of fun. Hope you all enjoy!

I am incredibly devastated hearing about this. Lamarr was a wonderful person and a great creator, and I'm so sorry for his family, friends, and loved ones. I'm lucky to have known him, even very briefly.

Just beat Prime 4 today. Overall, it wasn't one of those "blow me away" kind of games but I genuinely liked a lot about it.

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

I've been really enjoying Metroid Prime 4, but I've had a few friends say they were annoyed with the game telling them where to go. I actually got lost at a few different points so far, so maybe it just depends on the person?

Bumping for the weekend crowd! It's easy to go full rage-bait on the internet, especially with Nintendo, but the truth lies somewhere in between. Voting with your wallet isn't as easy or simple as some folks make it seem.

Execs can re-interpret your decision however you want, and you can only vote "for" something, never "against". However, every purchasing decision you make does have a demonstrable impact, and I wanted the conversation to be more focused on your own personal decisions, and "ethical consumption".

Today we're taking a look at the insane world of Nintendo's pricing

Cannot let this incredible intro go unseen either, thank you SO MUCH to @downstait.bsky.social for the incredible new theme, plus the amazing artist who put this animation together.

I think the Silksong vid got buried a little bit on Friday. I really think it's one of my favorite Completionist episodes we've ever done, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Real quick, want to highlight the new Completionist intro that premiered in today's episode! I'm so incredibly thankful for this, it was a phenomenal effort and it's just so damn HYPE.

Silksong soon.

Guess who just found out that Ball x Pit has New Game Plus PLUS

Finally got the platinum in Ball x Pit, only to find out there's a NG+. Been having a ton of fun, but leveling up characters isn't really super rewarding anymore. Am I missing some crazy farming strat that makes this way easier?

The world might suck, but Ball X Pit is tight as hell.

Been a while, but I've got a new vid up! 14 games that I completed between 2024 and 2025, including some crazy ones like Diablo 2 and Powerwash Simulator. Went for a bit of a different vibe here, but I'm pretty happy with it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pQ1...

Here’s a video I’m very proud of. youtu.be/wfOQDgy8rAI?...

How’s everyone doing? My life is pretty rough right now, but I am keeping my head up.

Hey y’all. How’s everyone doing? I’ve been on insane grind for work. It’s been a lot. But I’m in okay spirits.

Hey friends! How’s it going? I’ve been so stupid busy, it’s taking all of my energy to not break down. But I’m still here and I’m somehow okay!

Now that I am using Bluesky more, I’ll get back to my self promoting ways (no ads, just stuff I’m making and doing) - here’s the newest episode of The Completionist (Which airs every Saturday, a new video!) https://youtu.be/C5r6trSj70c

I wake up every day on social media to see dozens to hundreds sometimes thousands of people dunking on events and things that happened to me several years ago. I don’t know what to tell those folks - I’ve always tried my best to be a good person. Just gotta shrug it off I guess?

Hey so I’m making a lot of games and let me tell you - it’s so fucking cool. I’m publically producing 3 games, but I’m about to join another team for another game, talking to 2 more teams who I’m close with and I love already - AND - [REDACTED] All I’ve ever wanted to do is make an impact! :D

Hey everyone - I am struggling to keep my head above water and don’t feel comfortable sharing this on other platforms without crazy folks dog piling on me. But I just wanted to say - thank you for giving me a chance. Just giving it my all! 😎👍

I have an announcement. I love video games. That is all. Here’s Boofy my dog. *walks off stage*

I guess this is where we go now.

I think my biggest issue with bluesky is that - I just keep forgetting it exists and I’m already so tired of rebuilding social media platforms again and again. It’s like proving to people you have value and worth after doing it already for 12 years. Anyways, you all rock.

I’ve been on the app for a few months but didn’t have too many homies here. But I see more are showing up! @jessecox.bsky.social @goldenboy.bsky.social @rubberross.bsky.social hey hey boys!
