So you’re saying you wish you waited until you saw that people hated it so you could join in and act like you were on the right side of public opinion and receive praise instead of criticism? That’s not only so weird but incredibly shameless and lacking integrity

Ended my night last night at 2200 subs on YouTube and that felt insane considering it took from December to like a week ago to get from 2000 to 2100. Getting another 100 so quickly just feels good. Last I checked it was already at 2253. It's slowed down but I'm still shocked

The video blew up and left my regular viewership. I also got a bunch of hate lmao One person suggesting that if Xbox was a gang I’d be dragged into the streets and killed “mad max style” whatever that even means lol People are wild. One dude left like 10 comments, he’s so mad. He’s so butthurt lol

I keep saying that Eric absolutely nailed the feel of LUCID. It feels good to play. The music is so good and the art has more soul than a lot of games do I love when I see my own thoughts reflected in other peoples opinions on LUCID because that just shows that it truly is a wonderful piece of art

What about this is 'metroidvania'?

Do video games have an age limit? Can you be "too old" to play video games? youtu.be/zasD6_8QE3g

With Nvidia's AI upscaling and with frame generation and everything that comes with it... at what point is the game you're looking at the actual game, or just an approximation hallucinated by an algorithm?

I braced for hate comments on this one but they were mostly positive with plenty of people sharing their experiences, even if they disagreed If you love Xbox I’m not trying to convince you to do or not do anything. I’m not an influencer, I’m just a dude talking to a camera about video games

Funny enough, in any gaming circle I’ve interacted with in real life, hardcore gamer never explicitly applied to those who played on the hardest difficulty, which seems to be what social media has warped it into. Hardcore gamer, to me, always meant someone that spends a ton of time playing games.

I will no longer be an Xbox customer. They blew it imo youtu.be/21cfdQiI_-Q

I'll never forgive Microsoft for cancelling the Perfect Dark reboot. I'm editing a video about Xbox and grabbed the trailer for Perfect Dark as B-Roll... I watched it in full and it gave me the same chills that I had the very first time I saw it and I'm so fucking disappointed

What movie did you watch over and over as a kid?

Some new faces so. Shout out to the lists 🤝 Hi I'm Sam and I have cerebral palsy. So I invented this at some point in the 90s. I forgot to trademark it tho so if you ever fancy a challenge.🙃 I pretty much just bombard you with every genre that exists, so if you like err...Everything I'm ya guy.

Both of my most recent videos did super well and they were both on topics I love. Handheld gaming has been so important to me and I’m glad that so many other people resonated with that and shared their stories of how handheld gaming has impacted them as kids and even as adults

I got some new followers thanks to @tncarly.bsky.social and @arrontk.bsky.social sharing their starter packs with me in them. I’m honored to be a part of that! I’m a gaming content creator, podcaster, and a fan of all things metroidvania I make videos on YouTube and sometimes stream. Links below

OnlyFans but it’s just me talking about Metroidvanias. It’s called OnlyJump. You don’t get double jump until later

No thanks. I accidentally pressed the copilot key on my work laptop once and that was already too much

LUCID : fun even when just "greyboxes" 🌸 #pixelart #aseprite #ドット #indiegame #metroidvania #IndieGames #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev

Hey if no one has told you today then let me say.. You are strong, awesome and amazing! 🥹 You deserve to be happy, you can push through your struggles and you matter and always will matter in this world! 💜💜🫂

Handheld gaming has been around forever but it wasn’t until recently that it really boomed and at this point it’s actually pretty close to being on par with consoles youtu.be/u3m1OKlLSz4?...

Thank you @samthesamurai.bsky.social for tagging me and making me aware of this bundle. I’ve actually only played Ultros on this and $12 is an absolute steal for the amount of games you’re getting!

“You’re smarter than you give yourself credit for” is a sentence I say a lot because the problem I’m helping you out with might be my specific expertise but judging your overall intelligence based on not being good at this thing is not fair to yourself at all. Everyone has something they’re good at

Cleaning my office and rearranging my desk after buying a new shelf thing and oh my Christ my back and abs are tired I need to be more active, this sucks lol On a positive note, my desk is starting to look real good!

The Steam Deck is a great little handheld but is it still worth it in 2026?? youtu.be/V8fmafCVKLI?...

A couple of weeks ago I had my AirPods Pro in my hoodie pocket and they accidentally fell out into the toilet. I cleaned them off with isopropyl alcohol and left them to dry and they still work… But transparency mode is dead lol. I think the mics that facilitate transparency mode were damaged 😭

What do y’all use to edit images on your phone to add quick jokes/memes? The photos app has some features but not a lot and I don’t want to use something heavy like Canva or Photoshop

The thing that sucks is if they actually implemented something like this the regular consumer will never know and Sony can squeeze money here and there out of unsuspecting customers Can’t companies just be happy with creating and selling a product? I may be getting old but this shit is insane to me

I have the original version of this that I got when I first started content creation 4 years ago. I’m jealous of people who are starting now and get to choose colors for shit. You could barely get things in white 4 years ago and now look at all these colors! lol I wish I had more money!

We’re all entitled to our opinions on exclusivity. Personally, despite owning both Xbox & PlayStation this gen, I’m not a fan of the “just buy the other console” mindset that often comes with it, or the idea that having to pay ££££ for multiple platforms each gen is "good for the consumer."

My only avenue to play PC games is a Steam Deck but if you have any of the GPUs mentioned here you can enter to win a code!

Friendly reminder to never compare your journey to others. You never know how much time, money, luck, or experience some creators have. Focus on your little victories instead.

I’ve been thinking about this conversation and it makes me really sad because as much as Xbox as a company has been making really weird choices lately, I actually really like the Series X as a console. I like the controller, the features, the aesthetic. It’s now just an obelisk that sits on my desk

Every other video on my TikTok feed is a shop ad peddling some weird shit and acting like this is normal *creator known for collecting trading cards*: “Tiktok sent me this truck winch to me to check out and it’s made by glorbiglev so you know it’s high quality” Me: WHAT

I haven’t owned a PlayStation console since PS2. I really don’t have any interest in buying one now I’ve lived without Sony’s games for a long time and I can do it again. Just a shame, really

LUCID absolutely deserves to be in Nintendo’s Indie World showcase. I understand there’s plans for a Switch version so I’d love to see it pop up in a future event!

This quest was particularly insane. I feel like the one with 3 Blangongas might have been harder because they go fucking insane and jump around… I suppose so does Mizutsune but at least Quematrices are kinda slow and hobble around

Bunch of companies with announcements this week. Elgato has their Wave Next tomorrow, Nintendo has an indie direct tomorrow, and Apple has some stuff they’re sprinkling out over the course of the week Would be a great week to see news about the Steam Machine, just sayin… 👀 @valvesoftware.com

Finally had the opportunity to play MH Wilds online on the Steam Deck. Me and my buddy @isitthesh0es.bsky.social got wrecked by a 9⭐️ Nu Udra but the deck handled online play just fine! Now I need to test it with a party of 4 and see if more people strain it a lot more. I feel like it will be fine

So you don't have a Switch 2 or think Pokopia is too expensive?

Thanks for all the love, the demo is staying up! 🌸 GO PLAY LUCID! Its like really really good, you'll want to Wishlist it I promise 😘

I had a nice long weekend but coming back to work is always the worst. I’ve never been able to understand people wanting to get back to work after a time off. They “feel refreshed” and that’s not me. I always feel worse lol
