Gig was fun, if way more of a logistical pain in the arse than it needed to be. Had a great sound person tonight who really got it and made sure it was as deafening as it needs to be. Happy someone caught this part of the set too, where we just go silent for a while. Can hear a pin drop. Very funny

I don't like ragging on creators just got recommended a video with a bunch of views talking about why old games feel better than new ones. Immediately it's just "old games don't have DLC and I didn't have a smartphone back then" and just jeezo how many times are people going to make this video

Just told my 10yo daughter about
#ZohranMamdani
. She had tears of joy in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Zohrkanda forever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

It's not like this solves all the problems or whatever, but it's really nice to see. Just run on policies that aren't hateful and actually help working people! Don't suck off the fucking billionaires! Be cool! That's it! That's all the "lessons that need to be learned"!

As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.

Took down the story post bc it was breaking containment and getting people riled up in a way I hadn't anticipated (but prob should have). It was honestly just an immensely hyperbolic shitpost. Kinda my whole thing on here. Sorry for giving people the wrong idea. I promise I actually enjoy games lol

What makes Mafia: The Old Country so remarkable is a historically charged script that seeks to understand the conditions that birthed the mafia. I spoke to the Hangar 13 team about the Italian labor issues and political unrest that are inseparable from the mafia.

I found a football pitch in Baby Steps. I then decided to make an entire video about how it's the best sports game I've played in years. No, seriously! Hope you enjoy it. Jokey framing aside (or not) I really like how this one came out. If you like it, sharing really helps me out. Cheers!

Bumping this again as it seems to be one of those vids that just doesn't get picked up (totally fine, but I feel like there are people who would get a kick out of it that might not see it otherwise). Thanks so much to all who have checked it out so far!

🌸NEW VID🌸 Silent Hill f almost drove me insane with how much there is to talk about. EVERY detail led to a rabbit hole of research, but what I kept coming back to is how it's a game about the curses in our blood... curses both supernatural AND societal.

Always odd to me that people say they desperately want remakes of Metal Gear 1 and 2 on the MSX. I know people want the story and all that, but especially with 2, if you make that 3D... you just end up with Metal Gear Solid. Like, so many of Solid's scenarios are just lifted straight from MG2

Been v excited to watch this and it did not disappoint. With this and the podcast Critical Error, I find myself really resonating with his approach to criticism. As an aside, it's wild how my own opinion on Yōtei has continually soured since my already negative review. I think it *really sucks*.
