Nine Sols is still easily one of my favorite games. Had to draw them.

just beat a10 on every character in slay the spire 2, yippee didn't really get into the first game so there was a lot to figure out

I haven't really advertised it that hard but I do have a community discord I'm hoping to grow. If you want to hang out, chat and or be involved feel free to drop in. discord.gg/CrRBsdP

I'm going to stop staring at the dashboard though because it only gets me anxious and the first few hours are not at all an indicator of how it might do in due time

I'm a bit skeptical the Nine Sols video will perform well because it's a lot less popular of a game than Celeste and doesn't hold a candle against the LOTR franchise. Also the ridiculous length of the last videos probably helped sell it. Either way I love the game and we'll have to see where it goes

I'm really proud of this thumbnail. Usually I don't mind if it looks a bit scuffed because I think there's a lot of charm to just having something you made yourself. But the actual drawing part of this one turned out pretty sick imo

How Speedrunners Break Nine Sols www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNCz...

Premiering in 2.5 hours. A technical breakdown of the Nine Sols speedrun, my favorite game of 2024. Not as ridiculously long as my past works but I put more polish on it than ever before.

New vid tomorrow, 45 minutes long. Debating if I want to use the yt premiere or just send it raw

usually keeping a node graph organized feels like an uphill battle so it's really satisfying when you get a clean looking one

it's peak

still going really strong on the next video and I'm actually super close to finishing it. I just have to add the intro/outro and tiny bit of polish then it's on to final reviews/tweaks.

my pc is fighting for its life trying to edit complex motion graphics at 4k 60fps, this may have been a mistake

love that another windows update managed to overhaul the constantly regressing start menu that I just barely managed to make functional before. cant wait to try to deshittify it all over again

It's silly but this little social game/productivity app called gogh: focus with your avatar has been doing wonders for staying more disciplined. You can hardly interact with other people on it but seeing other avatars and knowing they are also trying to focus is nice when I'm alone at my desk.

Just rendered the rough cut which is another 500gb. This is becoming a problem... (I'm rendering it at super high quality out of davinci resolve then properly encoding it with handbrake)

damn dude anyone got any good news recently?

Making huge progress on the next video. Been meaning to start this year off right and so far that's going well.

It doesn't matter at all but I can't stop thinking about the Expedition 33 vs Silksong for GOTY debate. A lot of people state Silksong just being too difficult for your average gamer, but what's swaying my opinion is that e33 wasn't afraid to let off the gas and just be fun at times.

Finished expedition 33 and loved it. The one thing I really just wish was that it was more balanced. I played expert and still past a certain point I could not lose anymore and eventually just one shot everything. No guides or anything just taking a little bit of extra time tweaking my builds.

Mixed feelings because it could have been much better had it not been for some Gathering jank, but I did get a significant new hobbit wr www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCz9...

The tournaments VODs are now on YouTube with intermissions and downtime cut out. If you missed it live I highly recommend you give it a watch. I couldn't have scripted some of these moments even if I tried. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This was a nightmare to commentate lmao

the tournament was sick thanks everyone for stopping by and huge thanks to the players

The stream is live, event starting in 15 minutes. Get in here! www.twitch.tv/mkarmaa

Live in 2 hours!!!

In 24 hours (10pm CET) I will be hosting and streaming a large Hobbit Speedrunning tournament. With an elimination format where every player races over and over, until only the fastest remains. Not only will this be the game's biggest tournament, but also its biggest races. www.twitch.tv/mkarmaa

I'll refrain from spoiling as always but man Z-A's finale was really just ass to me. One of the things I've really valued in recent pokemon games, mixed as they may be, is their abilities to having a satisfying climax. Z-A feels like it's trying really hard to but doesn't know what to prioritize.

There are short bursts where I enjoy legends Z-A but most of it has just been so repetitive and slow. Not really surprised but I was at least hoping the battle system would feel fresh, but it's really not nearly as dynamic as I'd hoped either.

4 hours of revisiting silksong later I have not gained a single percent completion nor do I have any leads clues or guesses. I've checked everything I could think of bar combing through every single screen in the game systematically. Yeah this is definitely one of the game's flaws in my opinion.

Finished Silksong at 97% completion in about 55 hours. I couldn't bring myself to finely comb the every area again for the last little bit but I'll definitely get 100%, though I won't resort to guides. It's incredible how many issues I have with the game while it still stays an amazing experience.

Damn dude watching the direct and seeing the DK Bonanza DLC I already raised an eyebrow thinking how that game just came out. Then they announce Pokemon DLC before the main game is even out... At what point do we stop calling it DLC and just consider the games as sold in overpriced pieces.

No spoilers but I didn't really want to comment on the game before 100%ing it but wow silksong might actually just have too much content. I'm almost 50 hours in and for so many-th time it just adds so many things to do. I'm getting a little tired of it but I really want to clear it soon.

youtube streams autoplaying in the thumbnail on mobile is really bad when you try to avoid silksong spoilers lmao

steam dying give me silk

who up silkin they song

cant decide whether I want to buy silksong on switch 2 (cope because I barely use it atm but it's also portable) or PC

siksog... 24 hour...

Tired of creators I respect randomly flashing AI generated images in spots where there it doesn't even add anything regardless. But more frustrating is that I always end up scrolling the comments and being disappointed at how few people seem frustrated by it anymore. Afraid it'll be normalized.

Thought it'd be cool if for my next video I'd record all my footage at 4k 120fps - both to get the highest quality and allow me to zoom and slow-motion with minimal quality loss. Now I have 500 gigabytes of footage :)

I'm casual with electronics repair but like to try. I decided to try to fix my old frame1 where one of the buttons didn't work. I confirmed it was still broken I figured it might be solder break so I got a multimeter and tested for continuity. Just after probing a while it was fixed. Magic lmao

Davinci resolve has been a headache recently. There's huge new features in version 20 that could save so much time, and they work (kinda!). I just have to bear with constant freezes and crashing which still makes it end up take the same amount of time but with triple the frustration.

oh mein gott, vorld rekord? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVTR...

I can finally release my biggest project so far: A Celeste Movement Guide. This is by far my biggest project that I worked on and off for the past few years. I'm very glad to finally be able to share it and give quite a few tidbits to optimize your Celeste speedruns. youtu.be/DOCTFCWPW5I

Been trying to find a new project to start soon. If anyone has any sick speedgames that have a relatively dense history and not much coverage yet I'd be happy to hear about it.

big truck has been idling right outside my apartment for hours please piss off

I'm pretty sure YouTube's "Not Interested" button used to work pretty well. But nowadays I get recommended several piratesoftware drama videos a day and click it on all of them, yet they keep coming up. Cool!

sponsorblock is a good extension but many of the non sponsor categories get so ambiguous that I so often end up rewinding and finding out I missed something important marked as intermission/intro etc. I think I'll just finally disable everything but sponsor skips entirely.
