+ my basement Bubba (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) @jamesbentley.bsky.social

Genuinely can't believe it. Started this year with just over 500, and now we're already here. If you've subscribed or watched, thanks so much!

Not going to make a habit of sharing nice comments but this is my first time hearing this. I’m always grateful when a video of mine has some sort of impact and I’m glad they felt like they could share

I cannot recommend Pizza Bandit. It's a poorly made game, and the presence of what I believe to be AI-generated assets signals a general lack of care or attention to detail. My full breakdown youtu.be/qCTZ7K44aTA?...

Crying because I finally got approved for a laparoscopy to treat my endometriosis … we are back in truly unimaginable ways !!!!!1!!!

Had intended to upload a video on Weapons tonight, but it has unfortunately been hit by three separate copyright claims from WB. Shame as it's a bit timely, but I don't know when I can expect it to go up now. Have contested the claims, of course.

The entire Al Jazeera crew for Gaza City was assassinated last night. Mohammed Al-Khalidi Mohammed Noufal Ibrahim Zaher Musab Al-Sharif Moamen Aliwa Mohammed Qreiqeh Israel did this to minimize reporting of their planned, criminal occupation. International intervention is now the minimum position.

Hi there. I’m looking to speak to creatives/artists/art enjoyers who would categorize them self as anti generative AI. If you have time for a conversation, it would help me greatly. Thank you

Let me (maybe) get you a game youtube.com/post/UgkxlhA...

Oh my

new video!! I played mother 3 for the first time recently after putting it off for a decade, so here's a short rumination on expectations and just doing the thing youtu.be/qcq2k_WQC-k?...

In just six days, my Peak video has managed to hit 41,000 views. Genuinely delighted that so many people have taken the time to watch.

jason schreier is getting these updates almost faster than i, an impacted employee at zenimax online studios, am. which is creating a borderline slapstick layer to this experience

One mistake people make with these letters is assume they're written for humans, but they're not. There's no contrast. They're written for shareholders, & for them, this text is just a non-stop parade of good news. Record numbers? All verticals up? Layoffs?! What a feast, for them, what a feast.

As one illustration of just how sloppy and chaotic today's mass Xbox layoff has been, some employees at Zenimax Online Studios are now watching their Slack accounts abruptly get locked out. No message from HR, no word on whether they still have a job, just an ominous Slack deactivation

Snap! I’m incredibly grateful to say we hit 2000 subscribers over night. Truly an astonishing figure and double the (pretty lofty) goal I set myself at the start of the year

hello, hire me please! my work at RPS is officially wrapped up now, so if anyone's got some regular news, PR, copywriting etc. work going, feel free to reach out! email is in my bio, will link my pinned post below for examples of my writing

Hello! A request of the internet, if any game developers see this (bonus points if you work in digital art or use Unreal Engine 5) would you be open to chat to me about an upcoming project?

Feel incredibly lucky to say this has reached 12,000 views in just 21 hours!

So I’ve been playing Peak recently. youtu.be/QImB_NZ96vw?...

Been telling myself to play this for some time and I finally bought it yesterday. Looking forward to getting stuck in

Sounds about right

Just won my first copyright dispute. Feels like such a foundational thing to making videos so that’s a neat first step aha

A bit honoured to see my YouTube channel cited in Rock Paper Shotgun yesterday. Thanks, @fiashouse.bsky.social It means an awful lot to see it there <3 www.rockpapershotgun.com/send-kids-to...

I set myself (what felt like a really high) goal of getting to 1000 subscribers this year, and not only did it happen but it happened on my birthday!

Blown away by this. Not just because it's about my game, but just a really thoughtful video about much more.

This is my favourite of James’ videos so far. @lastpiscean.bsky.social’s Decade is strange, special, and very much worth your time.

I was recently sent an email from a first-time indie dev. The result was a minor existential crisis, not just about life, but the games industry, and the idea of making art in the first place I Can Guarantee You This Game is Going to be Underrated youtu.be/KtqrklovNHI

What Steam Next Fest Demos for the upcoming Next Fest should I be aware of? Currently thinking of putting something together!

Somehow hit 100k views on the channel today. All number milestones are a bit arbitrary but still pretty cool to see.

The idea of one day working for Giant Bomb wasn't just a dream job for me to fantasise about, it was one of the few motivations and goals that brought me back from the brink time and again. I was never paid by them but getting being a part of that history means more than I can describe.

With today’s changes at Polygon, I've made the decision to step away as a deputy editor. It’s been a privilege to work with an incredibly talented and supportive team who I'll really miss, and I’m enormously proud of what we’ve accomplished in our time together.

Got this lovely comment from a semi regular commenter last night. Nice to know the videos are connecting with some!

I had some complicated thoughts after finishing the Suicide Squad game, and that somehow translated to being the longest video I've made to date. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Postmortem — The Follow-Up to Arkham That Died in a Year youtu.be/hELr2UwfHIM?...

South of Midnight has apparently brought out the strangest comment I’ve ever received on the channel. Still debating if it’s a weird irony I don’t quite get or they actually mean it. I can comfortably say it’s the first time I’ve been called a race socialist

So… I resigned from GamesRadar+ yesterday. I can’t ignore that given how great the team is — and especially given the state of the industry we’re in — this feels like looking a gift horse in the mouth. (1/4)

It’s been over a year since my video essay “The Crucifixion of Joshua Stephenson and Faith Healing” went out. That was by far my most ambitious at the time and I can’t wait to put out even more! youtu.be/D0EnG9B1jDo

I’m okay, thanks.

I Tried to Sell Over 300 Steam Trading Cards and All I Got Was a Few Excellent Games youtu.be/kSZwXPR2hzc?...

Bizarre day to hit this number

Uh oh

Avowed is undeserving of its Discourse. youtu.be/75uRffNfMfs?... My latest video is a half hour analysis of the conversation around Avowed and why I think it has become so poisoned This is apparently a spicy one as I’ve picked up some dislikes. A view, feedback, and a like would be appreciated!

Hello I am playing at the Royal Oak tonight. Event kicks off at 8 PM!

Hello, I’m going to be playing a few original songs at the Victoria Pub and Kitchen open mic in Bath tonight. If anyone has some free time and fancies listening to some live music, please come along. Haven’t played in a while so should be fun!

Very happy to say I’ve hit YouTube partner! youtube.com/@radicallymi...

I have a 25 euro voucher for PlayStation and thinking of picking up something I can’t play elsewhere right now like Rise of the Ronin, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, or Stellar Blade. Which would you recommend and why? I’m curious about all three and think it could make for a good holiday pick

Tried Satisfactory again after bouncing off it the first time

Been a bit of a long week so we turned Saturday also into work by eating Sandwich Sandwich’s new Christmas sandwich and rating it on an arbitrary rubric we invented on the train
