I respect Zexion. It is a very specific kind of challenge executed perfectly and it goes all out with it but I am probably never playing this again.

I feel like the final boss of Zexion is demanding a reaction speed far beyond my capabilities.

I have a lot of criticism towards Clair Obscur E33 and this isn't even the biggest one but I don't personally enjoy seeing a french game selling itself on being "very french" by flanderizing itself. Clair obscur is like if they made a full game out of the idea of Baguette Boy from that Bioshock DLC.

I would never let a video game top, let alone 10 of them.

Forgot to say last time but I'm taking a short break from stream while I'm at my folks for xmas. See you again in January.

We interrupted of the devil on the stream for ~reasons~ but we will go back to it eventually right after we're done with Trails in the Sky.

I wish people would stop telling me to go to therapy when I explain that I suffer from chronic depression. Going to therapy won't change my brain chemistry. It's not going to manifest a job offer. It cannot magically cause every member of the ruling class to stop being transphobic.

it's hilarious how useless sleep is in elden ring. The majority of enemies are not affected at all. For the few who are, at best you're getting a crit opportunity. at worse, they stumble for a second and resume their attacks. Stance breaking at least interrupts the enemy. Sleep can't even do that.

I guarantee you that for every glitchy texture or floating tree or erroneous ability description you find, there was a much much more severe crash or soft lock or save corruption bug that got fixed before release and you never had the misfortune to experience.

Whenever you find a bug in a game, before you start going off about how it's jank and QA must have been alseep, I need you to consider the bugs that were fixed instead.

Lots of people asking why they wouldn't just have one long collision and I feel like the explanation is pretty simple??? They clearly wanted the bridge to wiggle believably as you walk on it and you can't do that if the whole thing is a single object.

my hot burning take today is that if you actually played E33 clair obscur all the way through to the end (not just act 1 and 2) and didn't find the ending deeply misogynistic, then you suck at reading subtext

Not what I expected from the novelization but I can dig it. @gamechangershow.bsky.social

Yeah sure he's a piss drinking anti vaxxer with reprehensible misogynistic views that are widely listened to in the industry but also he made a video game I like. That evens it out, right?

this stream is 100% embezzlement free unlike some other stream happening tonight and also much more fun because Estelle Bright twitch.tv/paulineragny

one thing you gotta deal with being a woman online (perhaps more so when trans?) is people will treat you like an uneducated idiot for the opinions you have only to see those same people start expressing that same opinion a year+ later but still consider you an idiot

Every year a week of how much the The Game Awards and the people run it sucks ass followed up by two days of oh my god the game awards who's watching with me 😍 let's discuss the contenders and why who got picked by these people we know suck ass it's only meaningful because you're giving it meaning

Now that I have a handle on the systems the game is getting a little too easy. Lemme try bumping the difficulty up a level. Ah...

It's bread.

It's very frustrating to criticize repeatedly bad writing in a video game series and have people react like we just hate having any story at all. NO!!! I JUST WANT THEM TO MAKE A GODDAMN EFFORT

The plan for December was to stream Prime 4 but that game turned out to be awful so we're pivoting to something I'm actually going to enjoy.

The lamorn plot feels much more Metroid but it's so half baked. It's a lost civilization that wants you to take their combined knowledge and history with you but you barely learn anything about them. Through the game.

Why were the Metroids fusing with bosses? Like I'm not asking for strict adherence to the lore or whatever but the series already has an organism that fuses with other creatures to make them stronger: THE FUCKIN X PARASITES.

I woke up and I'm still mad at prime 4.

Do you think late in development someone pointed out they had no metroids in the game so they were like "uhhhhhhh the bosses are controlled by metroids I guess. We'll show it happen in one cutscene"

deeply mediocre. I will not be replaying this.

What is this fuckin Halo ass bullshit

The bike is the gimmick of Metroid Prime 4 they hyped up in all the trailers and they do so little with it. I'm reminded of how Beyond Good & Evil did so much more with its hovercraft. They had races. Caves where you chased a guy. Hovercraft puzzles in a dungeon. Metroid Prime 4 has none of that

I think so far the only parts of Metroid Prime 4 I kinda like are the bosses. I don't like them as much as Prime 2 bosses but they don't make me angry and surrisingly the NPCs stay silent. No tips.

You know it'd be one thing if the worst sin this game commited was having an annoying guy tell you how to do your job on the radio but the game was otherwise similar to prime 1 and 2. But every level is worse than the last. These last two levels have been a series of action setpieces No exploration

Ok can I just say that the level themes are extremely uninspired. You have jungle, ice level, lava level and now mine level. I feel like they're just retreading Metroid Prime 1 level ideas and overall doing them much much worse.

Wow, this sequence at the start of the mine level in Metroid Prime 4 was immensely stupid.
