Can't wait to live in a world where we rent GPUs that actively turn artwork made by real people into garbage.

🐢 #pokopia

Pokopia's meta-story is about a generation of adults who disappeared from Pokémon fandom, and now must return to their dusty memories, clean them off, and use them to rebuild their affection for dozens of little critters they'd long ago forgotten. It's a literal re-entry point for the series.

@reneritchie.bsky.social Hey Rene! I'm curious if YouTube has been made aware of buffering issues on live streams? Since around January, myself, fellow streamers and our viewers have all been dealing with it. Essentially, streams keep buffering. People need to be at least 10s behind just (cont)

I want to be excited for physical media and then I remember that this game is a key card 😅 Still probably a good thing overall but I maintain that key cards themselves are poop from a butt

This does make the game a *little* more tempting but I really wish it had online support for trading/battling

Twitch is dropping it's anti-competitive practice of punishing streamers who combine multiple chats on-screen! I stopped multi-streaming awhile back and this rule was the biggest reason. Now that they're done being weird about it, I'm thinking I'll give simulcasting another shot!

Cancel Nitro. It's not about whether you view adult content or not... It's about your data and privacy. "It doesn't matter. Everyone has my data anyway" Well, it certainly seems to matter to *them* because if that were true they wouldn't be fighting so hard to get your ID and/or biometrics?

Honestly Steam could easily replace Discord for me personally. I wouldn't even need to convince my friends to make an account! I'd just have to get them used to the idea that I'd be DMing them there instead of the platform we usually chat on 😅

It's so odd to me that it's the 40th anniversary of the Zelda franchise and Nintendo isn't doing anything to celebrate. No sales, no new releases, no re-releases... Am I just missing something? It's entirely possible I'm missing something but it doesn't seem like it...

That's actually pretty cool

Sorry to have to repeat myself, but... Cancel Nitro.

Keep cancelling Discord Nitro and telling the company how you feel And please... No matter how restricted your account feels when this rolls out, please do not give them your ID or scan your actual face. youtube.com/shorts/T2K6h...

If true (I have doubts), I do hope it's a one-time eShop purchase and not something in the NSO GBA app. Sounds like it will indeed be stand-alone based on these supposed leaks, so that's kinda cool! The 30th anniversary is upon us so the timing makes sense ... I guess we'll see!

It appears Discord has reversed course on their age verification system being mandatory for "all new and existing users." discord.com/press-releas...

Even if kids shouldn't be on Discord (they shouldn't) entrusting our sensitive data to third parties, especially these days, isn't the solution. Discord already exposed people's IDs and now they're rolling this out globally. Cancel Discord Nitro. www.bbc.com/news/article...

ACNH 3.0 this month, Pokopia in March, Tomodachi Life in April ... Strong start to the year for chill games! What else are y'all looking forward to this year in that category? I suppose Pal Farm is another one I'm really curious about myself.

Not @wilbo.bsky.social rating his OWN game 2.5 stars... bckl.gg/qYU5 lol easily a 5 star game someone please go grab it on itch and tell Wilbo he's wrong. Also I'm using Backloggd now to track the games I'm beating this year. The goal is one per month and it's going.... ok.

Simply having Microslop's AI features on your Windows PC puts wear and tear on your components. Even if your computer is just idling! RAM and other PC parts are too expensive for that and I can't stress enough how important it is that people consider wiping all the AI off their machines.🧵

Followed a guide for this and wow... I can't even begin to explain how much faster my computer feels! I expect Windows will continue to get worse, but for the time being my operating system finally feels like it should... Invisible.

Bout time to deep clean all the AI off my windows system. Their last update won't even let me shut down my computer though, so idk why I'm even bothering. I probably just need to test some Linux distros or swap to a Windows enterprise build at this point. Tech is so laughably bad right now

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Living in 2026 is just owning rectangles that make you angry all the time

Just my (very late) opinions here, but while I felt Stranger Things S5 wasn't perfect, I still enjoyed the ending overall! I think we're just in a place now that when something THIS popular ends, it's impossible not to see negative criticism because negatively is what spreads in algorithms.

Not that Nintendo left them a lot of choice in the matter

Surely even more media consolidation will increase the quality of films and TV shows!

I should just add, I am very grateful that enough people watch SO much of my content that I end up being one of the top creators on ANY list. While I am upset at how these are executed, I did fail to mention that it's cool that I've been on that many screens in the first place. Thank you!

Just another example of YouTube's AI getting stuff wrong. Literally every single one of these recaps I've been sent that has my channel as one of the user's top channels, puts it in the "DIY home projects" category. This is because I did a "30 day DIY island" Animal Crossing challenge.

Everyone is sharing their Spotify Wrapped and I'm over here predicting its downfall Either I'm ahead of the curve or this episode is gonna age reeeeeeeeal bad 😅

Zelda amiibo are only $9.99 but selling out fast Scan the amiibo in Animal Crossing starting in January Amazon: bit.ly/4lI89WI Best Buy: bit.ly/44uglnB

It's so weird that I finally have this! Gonna stream with it a bit later and rage quit some old games 😅 youtube.com/live/NztsmWB...

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little. aftermath.site/the-alters-a...

Stuff like this is why I'm collecting physical media again www.advanced-television.com/2025/11/04/g...

Introducing ✨quality control✨ Shout out to those of you who let me know about this issue. It won't be a thing in future episodes 🙂

This is my new podcast. It's about collecting things!

i need them to bring back my king Inkwell in this new horizons 3.0 update

After Animal Crossing 3.0 I won't be hearing any more cases for why New Leaf was the "better game" lol for real New Leaf was an awesome game and built on everything the series had done up to that point. 1.0 New Horizons was a huge step back at first, but we got there eventually! I'm so stoked!

Animal Crossing 3.0 is happening for real and I'm in shock... More multiplayer slots, NES games to play, creative mode... I think I even spotted bulk crafting?! I'm so excited youtu.be/7nODHyw3lgs?...

Finished my Pokemon Z-A living dex last night and set my boxes up for an Alpha living dex to slowly fill in as I continue knocking out side quests and my 1000 battles for the shiny charm! This has been a much faster Pokemon playthrough for me but I'm enjoying it quite a bit

Don't mind me just prepping for my Pokemon Z-A stream later...

They'll run out of emoji's before No Man's Sky stops delivering free updates

Every time I open my Switch and see the cover art for Pokemon Z-A I get excited all over again! Gonna be live tonight on YouTube for the launch 🎉

Vouching for @nyxlockee.bsky.social Awesome creative talent here if you're looking for a professional thumbnail designer!

Trading doomscrolling for gaming has been a difficult habit to form, but sooo beneficial for me. I'm sleeping better (feeling great overall) And if I do take some time to read news, etc I'm not falling into a huge several-hour depression spiral about the state of the world.

Friendly reminder, don't buy Steam games from Amazon 😅 I bought Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart and it's sooo much fun but runs not super well. I thought, "That's ok, I'm only an hour in. I'll just return it and pick it up for PS5!" But I bought it during this big Prime sale, so that's not a thing.

Oh wow pretty big Mario Kart World update here... lol the new Sonic racing game must have them pretty shook en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/...

@cosmicscale.bsky.social Hello! If you have a second, I got my PS1 games ripped, converted to ISOs, and added to my SSD through the PSBBN launcher. Unfortunately though, I'm only able to see my PS2 games in my collection. Is it possible that I missed an obvious step?

Nintendo is gonna come after them for this but listen... I'm excited for Palfarm and I'm ALSO excited for Pokopia. Now I can play two creature collecting farm sims back-to-back! youtu.be/AmurGwwjvGM?...

Started a new series and episode 1 drops tomorrow! Between this and the new games coming out over the next month or so, this will be the busiest my channel has been in a long time Feels good!

I would like to thank YouTube's awful AI filter for helping me watch less shorts. Every human in my shorts feed looks like an oil painting and it's so distracting that it literally broke my scroll. I kid you not I was about to lose like 1-2 hours to shorts and now I can go eat instead.
