Decided to briefly boot up the first Broken Sword game to get some footage for something this evening and am now going to bed very late, pretty good sign for an adventure game that I played it for 3 hours straight without getting stuck or bored.

Please pray for me, the they/them who just did a Leg workout and lives in a place with two sets of stairs.

If anyone needs me I'll be hunting down who ever is responsible for me having to do leg day at the gym today

Love getting to the last ten minutes of editing a video only to discover that gathering images and clips for them might take as long as the entire editing process has so far.

Hey everybody; I always hate this, but end of the month is almost here and I need to close the gap on rent again. Any and all donations, even small ones, are GREATLY appreciated. I’m always very grateful for everything. My PayPal and Interac use sincerelynataliereed at gmail dot com Thank you! ❤️

Genuinely considering digging my PS1 out of the attic just to get that authentic start up screen audio hit

Fuck it I might go back and relabel some of my old videos with this too to see what happens

Saw another history creator just explicitly put NO AI in their video title and I honestly might just have to be that explicit about it too given how much AI history slop is being thrown on youtube these days.

Having what I think are some motherboard problems, which isn't that big a deal but if I have to replace it then that might lead to the problem of me not actually knowing where one of my SSD drives is housed or how it's connected to this thing.

Oh wow and absolutely no one ever saw this coming 🙂

On the one hand having two nearly complete videos I can bounce between the editing for is keeping my ADHD brain very happy, but on the other hand its also making me want to work some truly psychotic hours because I can feel just how close I am to getting them done.

Can you still say you were fumbled if you were unaware of what the other person was even trying to do before they eventually gave up?

Still amazing to me that there are people who cross post on here who act like twitter hasn't fundamentally changed in a way that makes it morally bankrupt to keep posting on it. Just stop using the nazi kiddie porn site what the fuck are you doing.

Announcing The Starless Expanse Bundle, which pairs the critically acclaimed titles Riven & Outer Wilds - two games featuring puzzling worlds that will linger long after the credits roll. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/72377/Starless_Expanse_Bundle/

Did 41 pullups today, a bit tired so a slight backwards step from 43 isn't too surprising

Running a little later than expected with this but I should still have both videos out in the next couple of weeks 👍

Find someone who looks at you the same way the Gabriel Knight 3 cover... er... uh... oh my

fallout new vegas and pathologic are basically the same game -ugly washed-out color palette -90% of the game is walking -survival mechanics that will kill you -janky as hell -so, so much dialogue -beloved by trans women

Gregor Samsa if he’d tried CBT

Please. Send. Husband.

Really looking forward to getting back to my ancient China videos after spending so long getting distracted with other nonsense.

So terminally having a dog pilled that I will now regularly say 'oh big stretch' to myself when I stretch

I love the late 90s when games could have covers as good as this meanwhile the game is

One of the more unfair parts of being in your mid to late 30s is that you can either feel on the verge of decrepit or pretty much as good as you did at 20 and the main variable is often just being able to exercise regularly.

Part three in a series exposing fake Incan history by a pseudo-archaeology channel. youtu.be/3xzXbxYXoao

It's called "enshittification". Strengthen publishers and shareholders, weaken beloved media. With remakes this can be done imperceptibly over time.

RIP to that indie dev's attempt to get that world first achievement.

Now I'm picking mushrooms and it's all @mel.bzky.team's fault

Fuck I wasn't being serious but now I'm here again

Every day I struggle not to succumb to my mental illness (writing a 3 hour long deranged Morrowind video essay)

It's funny how some people get jacked when they work out meanwhile I turn into a perfectly smooth square shape

I'm not religious but every time I see grifters like this, I always think of this bible passage, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others". Matthew 6:5.

He's only a slightly spoiled dog, he's still good

Been replaying some 2010s walking simulator games and realising how few there actually were that weren't actually just puzzle games that got lumped into the category. It's Almost like the backlash to them from around that time for 'perverting the true course of gaming' was a massive overreaction.

I now begin the long wait to see if my dog will go to bed quietly or if I will have to deal with this week's fourth night of 'help tummy hort'

Wondering if I should wear a shirt that just says 'does not understand flirting' to get the few people who are actually interested to be direct.

If you ever think you're slow on the uptake it just occurred to me 9 years after the fact that the random woman at the climbing wall I used to go to who asked me a couple of times if I'd be interested in giving her 'private climbing lessons' might not have mistaken me for an employee.

Just so no one gets the wrong idea reading this the UK objectively sucks and I will not defend a single other thing we've ever done

Seriously though the Falklands War was a country trying to do baby's first colonialism only to immedately run into the final boss of colonialism

britain taking over the falklands is maybe the sole straightforwardly non-evil thing that country ever did and its genuinely very funny when people start defending the argentine invasion based entirely on vibes and no principles

I have now officially played so many 90s/2000s Myst clones that I think I might genuinely have to make a video comparing them at some point to justify the ridiculous amount of wasted hours I've inexplicably spent on them.

Reinstalled a game from like 2017 and was genuinely baffled when the file size was 2GB and not like 20

Shout out to the current load bearing element of society (people who post the time stamps to skip ads in YouTube videos)

Felt well enough to workout 4 times this week which is pretty good 🙂

Did 43 today 💪💪💪

Hey folks! If anyone is interested I put up the first 40 minutes of my Myst video essay on a free patreon linked below. This opening section covers the development of the game, its completely unprecedented success, and the mixed reaction the game met from gamers and non-gamers. Check it out!

Is it just me who has suddenly just stopped getting shorts at all on my youtube home page?
