If you want a good example of how much we’ve degraded as a society, listen to “Just the Two of Us” by Grover Washington Jr. (1981). It has: -about a minute and a half of singing -a 3 MINUTE sax and steel drum solo -45 more seconds of singing -ANOTHER nearly 2 MINUTE sax solo Now that’s culture

I’m appreciating Mina even more on NG+, I could tank most bosses normally but now I have to strategize and learn patterns much more to win. Plus the lack of checkpoints makes you become more creative in how you can use shortcuts to get back and heal. I’m using every last potion in long sections now

So did anyone find the jumpscare in Mina yet?

ICYMI yesterday, very fun video where I got to chat with Yacht Club about Mina’s amazing game design bsky.app/profile/snom...

every incarnation of Funky Kong looks like an early 90s WCW wrestler trying out different gimmicks

New video Saturday on a certain game that comes out soon and may or may not include an interview with the dev team :) very hyped for you all to see it.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

NEW VIDEO - Let’s start a new series: SnoStorm! Where we talk about ideas for the channel that never made it into fully fledged videos, all while hanging out playing a game. Enjoy! youtu.be/75K3xZCGYBY

What’s your Mount Rushmore of indie developers? For me it has to be: Supergiant Games Team Cherry Yacht Club Games Sabotage Studios

NEW VIDEO! Another Paper Mario-like? Yeah it really is that good - probably the best one since Bug Fables. Let’s talk about Escape From Ever After and why it feels so good to take down capitalism. youtu.be/B8MaCK_77PE

New You Need to Play dropping today 👀

Whatever happened to ARMS?

“New Starfox Game!” “Remake of 64”

A slice of cucumber fell in our dog’s water bowl and I was gonna take it out but you know what, she deserves it

good tweet

Last plug for this, it has been really awesome seeing the reception for this video. People are very kind and it was a lot of fun to look back, critique, and laugh at how things have changed over the years bsky.app/profile/snom...

My ★★★★★ review of Escape from Ever After (2026) on @backloggd.com : Absolutely phenomenal as an homage to Paper Mario; extremely similar, but elevates a lot of elements that only real fans of the series would appreciate. Read my full review at: bckl.gg/tjVX

Friends, the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of Sayonara Wild Hearts and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes are OUT NOW. 120fps/1080p in handheld mode, 120fps/1440p or 60fps/4K in TV mode. + Because of the faster loading, the new game mode Remix Arcade for Sayonara Wild Hearts. Enjoy.

My ★★★★ review of Pokémon Pokopia (2026) on @backloggd.com : A very addicting and enjoyable formula despite having several elements that I disliked along the way. Full review here: bckl.gg/tgYl

NEW VIDEO - “Was I ‘Game Design YouTuber-Pilled’?” Let’s take a look back at some of my older, more controversial videos and see if they still hold up today. Spoilers…I have some opinions. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride with me 🍿 youtu.be/b5LWsJGEOSU

This ended up being a lot more work that I expected, hope it's all worth it and you all enjoy. Something very different from the usual content on this channel. Coming in about a week 👀

I used AI for the very first time today, here’s what happened. I had a simple task: use a picture of 6 photo frames on a wall and turn the images inside the frames into high quality png’s. First I tried Gemini - it made 9 pics with incomplete grammar, not even remotely close to the pics I gave it.

The man bringing more gems to the forefront. This time with yo-yos.

I've been saying Pipistrello is fantastic!

In case you missed it yesterday, I talk about the most underrated game of 2025! bsky.app/profile/snom...

NEW VIDEO - The GBA had such a special vibe, from the beautiful pixel art to the music, and Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo feels like the perfect homage to the era. Let’s talk about why you NEED to play it! Enjoy and help share please! youtu.be/NmKO0XD6sQ0

Going to see the new Mario movie today, gonna celebrate by downing the rest of this milk I’ve been saving from Mar10 day!

Every time I hear “AI Agent” I just think of this

Still going strong with Pokemon cards, just passed 100 cards collected! Here’s some of the pages I’ve been putting together:

What I don't get about all these people 'vibe coding' apps with the intent of cashing in with minimal work is that if everyone can simply vibe code any app for any purpose, no one will be willing to buy your AI slop, right? If it's really that easy is it not now available to all for free?

Enjoying the core loop of Pokopia but I don’t like how much getting pinged by the Pokédex constantly slows things down. Traces of Pokemon for habitat hints just feels annoying now

I was today years old when I found out the singer from Gorillaz is the same guy that sings Blur’s “Song 2”

Looking for some feedback on a new video series idea:

This has been a really fun video to chat with people in the comments, a lot of people can relate to the topic which I really like. Was worried it would get some flack but I really appreciate everyone who watched and participated :) bsky.app/profile/snom...

Some great tips for indie devs by Snoman. Mechanics that we take for granted aren't perfect, and you shouldn't just copy/pasta the first instance you remember into your game.

I’m super on board for this it looks amazing! Only hang up is I wish the name had a little more pop. Dark Scrolls could be a Dark Souls pun but the gameplay looks way more wacky to me. Insta-wishlist for sure bsky.app/profile/doin...

NEW VIDEO - Sometimes I *want* to love a game but one little thing seems to drag down the entire experience. Let’s talk about the games that take mechanics I hate and put a spin on the formula to turn them into something amazing. Enjoy and help share:) youtu.be/Z-rDE0xqkzk?...

Got a new video coming Wednesday that has BAD in red letters on the thumbnail so I’m expecting it to do at least double the numbers for that reason alone 🙃

“Gotta take the kids to swim lessons” “We need to order groceries for the week” “Oh shoot I forgot to reply to that email”

Happy birthday to me!

HEY 👇 so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2. tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games. it's gonna be fun. we hope you tune in.
