The cool thing about Digimon is that all its fans are over 30 and so Bandai can just lean into it.

It's funny that people latch onto Joker's "agent of chaos" monologue from The Dark Knight as gospel of his philosophy, because like... he's lying. He's manipulating Harvey into stooping to his level. "Do I look like a guy with a plan?" Yes. The rest of the film shows us that you ALWAYS have a plan.

The most succinct way I've heard someone describe Akira Toriyama's legacy is, "Imagine being the guy who designed the Slime from Dragon Quest and that isn't even the thing you're most famous for."

Can't believe Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles was how I learn that the British pronunciation of "lieutenant" is "leff-tenant."

Final Fantasy XII subtitle font comparison (PS2 vs. Zodiac Age) I get that the new font is better for readability, but I miss when video games weren't afraid to use fonts more stylized than "default Crunchyroll subtitles." (Or in this case, Times New Roman, a.k.a. "default Microsoft Word font.")

Everybody always says WereGarurumon but nobody ever asks HowGarurumon.

i went through my childhood for *this*?

I’ve said it before but it still baffles me how EarthBound is a genuinely great RPG that somehow managed to get a fanbase made entirely of people who can’t recognize a good RPG aside from EarthBound.

Final Fantasy Tactics hot take: "'Tis your birth and faith that wrong you, not I." > "If you feel wronged, blame yourself or the Father." > "Blame yourself or God."

Donald Trump's writing reads just like Chris Chan's old captain's log videos. It's uncanny.

I am going to be real, I believe that boycotting and cancelling booked vacation days at the Disney Parks would caused more significant damage to the brand and reputation of The Walt Disney Company than simply cancelling a streaming service subscription that people can easily come back to.

Been increasingly considering moving out of the country, but I don't have the means, money, or connections to make this process plausible.

I hate that YouTube videos don't "end" anymore. They just stop. Mid-topic they'll be like, "Anyway that's it bye." All because "the analytics say everyone clicks off at the outro, and that's bad for some reason." Like, yeah, dude, that's what outros are for. To let people know the video is over.

Genuinely how did we even get here?

I made a video about the current status of my channel. Reposting it here in the hopes it'll get some traction and maybe end up on YouTube's radar.

Really want to play the new Digimon game demo, but I'm pretty sure my PC will explode trying to run it. (My Steam account is all retro games.)

If you see this, quote this post with a .gif you can hear.

Mega Man Legends is basically just Link's Awakening but here's why that's a good thing actually

Official statement about the current status of my YouTube channel (and presence online in general):

The original Resident Evil 2 is almost 30 years old now, how is it that we're seemingly still not sure how all the unlockables work? Been trying to get the infinite gatling gun, and it turns out nobody even knows what the criteria are.

My newest video is now live on my Patreon for paid members! (YouTube viewers will have to wait one more week. 😉) www.patreon.com/c/Gaminginth...

I'm sorry, but like... there's no way people think this actually makes the game look better, right? "Bump the resolution to 5K?" Fucking why? It was made for like 240p, bumping the res isn't gonna magically improve polygon count. And dear lord the NPCs' faces are NOT supposed to look like that.

Mood.

I have a feeling the algorithm is going to absolutely tank this video, so please watch my retrospective on Klonoa!

I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that

Ah yes, another instance of me telling myself, "I can write this script in one day," only for that one day to become three.

Was real excited to write this video essay about Mega Man Legends but then remembered that I have to talk about the gameplay too and that's kind of a bummer.

For a fun drinking game, go through my videos page on YouTube and take a shot for every video that hit a wall in viewership at juuuust under 500 views. It's like a tradition at this point.

The most inspirational thing about Superman is the idea that there could be someone powerful enough to do anything he wants, and what he wants to do is help people.

getting mad that we had a fork in the road in 2006 and decided that all JRPGs should be modeled after Persona instead of Final Fantasy XII

Replaying Mega Man Legends, and I can't help noticing how despite being full in-engine 3D, the camera barely moves during cutscenes outside of slow pans and the occasional dolly. It's like they boarded the scenes like a mid-budget anime even though they had no reason to restrict themselves that way.

Adopted a stray kitten. Had our first vet visit today. Meet Ayla!

I do genuinely love Sonic Unleashed, and believe people were way too harsh on it when it first came out. But also, it feels like the pendulum has now swung way too far in the other direction. Sonic fans acting like it's an end-all Sonic game is a bit tiring. The game's good, but not THAT good.

My latest video talks about how Sonic R was simply too little, too late to save the Sega Saturn.

Bad take: "The laughing scene from FFX is bad voice acting." Informed take: "The laughing scene from FFX has a very specific and meaningful context and the acting is bad on purpose." Based take: "The laughing scene from FFX is well-acted in context but I still think it's a stupid scene."

I really think I'm incapable of writing short, simple video scripts at this point.

Replaying Sonic Frontiers without using fast travel because I'm Sonic the Hedgehog so all travel is fast travel.

lol had a dude unsubscribe from my YouTube after he complained that I post too much Digimon stuff like bro do you see what my profile pic is?

I really wanted to love Tomb Raider II. Listen to me struggle in my newest video.

Wow, corporations really have decided that they'd rather fund fascism than pay a 2% wealth tax.

Man, I really hate when open-world games do the whole "the entire map resets every hour or so" thing. Breath of the Wild, Sonic Frontiers, etc. -- it's awful every time.

New video is up on YouTube!

Okay, the fact that Nintendo casted relative unknowns as the leads in the live-action Zelda gives me some hope. It implies that they cast actors based on talent instead of just picking big-name celebrities for the sake of putting butts in seats.

Been replaying Tomb Raider II for an upcoming channel video, and like... I dunno what it is, but I'm enjoying it way less than the first game. With TR1, I was compelled to play each level over and over to really master them, but here I was feeling burnt out by like Level 5.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: "Competitive" Smash Bros. is the most boring shit I've ever seen.
