Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/9X3iDUdF

Republicans are comically evil -- and just terrible operators. Their tax bills cuts needed social programs for the poorest Americans, while simultaneously cutting taxes for the wealthiest. These tax cuts increase the national deficit even further. The called party of fiscal responsibility my ass.

Happy to announce that I’ve started a new contract role as Esports Product Manager on 2XKO! The FGC has been going through somewhat of a renaissance of late, but I truly believe that 2XKO has the potential to elevate the fighting games to a whole new level. Let's go 👊 @2xko.riotgames.com

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I'm no economist, but if you're upset by the cost of the Switch 2 and Nintendo first party games, it might have something to do with this

I'm simultaneously amazed by the pure magic of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and probably a pass until the next major Zelda game drops (not Warriors). I have too many games in my backlog, and my Steamdeck plays 4K/60FPS when networked to my PC. Stoked to jump in eventually, but not just yet.

Twitch OGs reunion. 💜

Why did no one tell me Half Life 2 in VR was a sublime gaming experience??? Seriously, might actually supplant Alyx as my favorite VR title.

sigh... posts of my latest YouTube video have been deleted on both r/games and r/gaming i get why reddit has self promo rules but... a) I DO abide by the 1:10 ratio b) 50+ hours of work went into this c) there isn't that much new content on these subreddits anyway frustrating

After 50-75+ hours of work, my second major YouTube video essay is finally done: Rise, Fall, and Rebirth: The History of Movement Shooters. I truly hope you enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpZB...

Sweet mother of god, I'm FINALLY done with the initial timeline for the movement shooter video 😭 This one was absolutely exhausting, but we're soooo close to ready to publish. Just need to do a quality check and create some thumbnails and we'll be good to go. Inshallah.

I decided to stop mowing my lawn and give it back to the pollinators. Best decision! Hundreds of bees are so happy right now. #gardening

Slack is down and

Feels like young democratic politicians are showing some backbone and not pulling any punches over the last couple days. I could really get used to this feeling Time for Dems to show the fuck up

Have to admit, the Movement Shooter video has become a slog. Thinking I could have done a shorter version where I talk about overarching themes, moreso than giving a full history. Sunk cost fallacy, I'm already 75% of the way there. Gotta get 'er done.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Finally watching Severance, gonna blast through the first season in 1 day flat 😅

The movement shooter video is nearing completion 😩👍 Just finished recording and editing the voiceover, now just need to add transitions and video clips and we'll be done. Have some travel coming up but my goal is to get it out before the end of February. Excited.

Finally finished my Movement Shooter video script, it's 100% done and ready to move onto the next step. 9,255 words, 21 pages hallelujah 🥲

After testing prompts across DeepSeek, ChatGPT, and Claude, I can confidently say DeepSeek's model is on par, if not better than, its counterparts. Seriously impressive. (These tools have been a godsend for researching and script editing my YouTube projects, they're insanely useful)

does anyone want to help me edit my movement shooter video script 🥺👉👈 this one has been more challenging given I'm referencing dozens of games outside of my wheelhouse. i could use a sanity check.

My History of Movement Shooters script is finally.... finally done. It's 21 pages long. The same length as my Tribes video. Another hour-long banger is coming.

Streaming the creative process working on my next video project on Movement Shooters - come join in :) twitch.tv/fishstix

A recent GDC survey found that 80% of game developers are now developing for PC, up from 56% in 2020. 🤯 Valve deserves a lot of the credit here. Steam is such a consumer-friendly product. But with this boom comes new challenges: it's harder than ever for game makers to get discovered. Thoughts?

Fuck Elon. We team Bluesky.

welp, I thought my Movement Shooter video was going to be a smaller project than the Tribes retrospective. seems like it's going to be about the same length and a more complex editing project. should b pretty gud tho!! (soontm)

Feeling underwhelmed by the Switch 2, and that's coming from a dyed in the wool Nintendo Fanboy. Ever since I recently got a Steamdeck and networked it to my living room TV to stream games DIRECTLY from my gaming PC at 4k/60 FPS, I have so little desire to pick up my Switch.

Apex Legends is reversing it's decision to nerf tap strafing, an advanced movement mechanic. I appreciate this move, as mechanics like this so not impact the skill floor, only add to the skill ceiling. The kids, they crave movement shooters www.thegamer.com/apex-legends...

I really enjoyed working on the Tribes retrospective and am blown away by its reception. Now, brainstorming more videos ideas. How about... How Twitch Lost Its Soul 🤔

So... thoughts on Marvel Rivals? I'm not looking for a new game but I need to know if I'm missing out on something big

Got banned from r/gaming4gamers within minutes of posting my Tribes video, something I worked 50+ hours on and just wanted to share with the world 🥲

ok my Tribes video is FINALLY done... i'm premiering it live in 20 minutes. lfg. youtu.be/cgcXD0vZsrs

HOLY FUCK EDITING YOUTUBE VIDEOS IS SO HARD AHHHHHHHHH my Tribes video will come out in 2024 come hell or high water, but g'damn

I'm working on my first scripted YouTube video ever, a long for video essay retrospective on the Tribes game franchise, and MAN is this harder than I had imagined.

Ok, I can believe that Arcane is the most expensive animated series ever. That finale was absolutely the most gorgeous mind-blowing visuals I have seen. Incredible!

Not gonna lie, I didn't think Bluesky had much of a chance and assumed Threads would be the place for Twitter refugees. I waited way, way too long to get on Bluesky. I was wrong. Forgive me? 😭🙏

Riot announced that Worlds reached 50 million peak viewers. That's an insane number. We're so back?

I'm about to enter my single player gamer era. I networked my PC to my Steam Deck so I can play 4K/60FPS on my living room TV and it is glorious. So... I need advice. Send recommendations for A+ immersive SP experiences. Bonus if its on Game Pass or cheap on Steam! Thnx <3
