At the time, it was absolutely Sekiro, but now? Outer Wilds by INCREDIBLY slim margins. Both are among my top 10 of all time, so suffice to say it was a great year for me!

woke up to ace combat 8, what a morning

I've got 100% item completion and am about to start the game's ending sequence so I feel like I can safely say that Metroid Prime 4 is the worst numbered Prime game. I still had a wonderful time - the game has soaring highs, but even deeper lows

this is, without a doubt, a metroid prime game, and that fact that it is practically JUST that is going to piss some people off, but i am not some people

no worse feeling than reaching into the Seemingly Infinite Tissue Box and pulling out the last tissue. how could this possibly happen?

I got a Wii with Metroid Prime 3 for my birthday in 2007, when I'd turned 8, and it was incredibly exciting to see the end of a trilogy that had defined a lot of my childhood to that point That game teased something new, and over 18 years later at the age of 26, I can finally continue that story 🥹

Happy to announce that the HeyItMeBen YouTube channel is no longer just a Boys Club™️

I'm building a team

hello everyone i have turned 26 today as a gift to me, please go watch my new video xoxo

When I went into @turnfollow.itch.io's Before The Green Moon, I was expecting a quirky farming game - while I did get this, I got so much more than I bargained for. This video is about my journey to reach the Green Moon. Reposts appreciated!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gohs...

Did you know itch.io don't take any share of their sales on Black Friday? It's true! Did you also know I released my final year project on there for free (or donation) about a month ago? so much to learn in this lovely world bumpybeagle.itch.io/flo-motion

One of the hardest things about researching a video is knowing when to draw the line - I played a lot of A Wonderful Life and Rune Factory 4, some Harvest Moon and Rune Factory Frontier, but I wanted to play much more!

Thanks for sharing your experience w/ BTGM - It's very special to hear that it connected w/ you <3

goooo go check the video outttt 🌀🌀🌀🌀(I’m hypnotizing you to watch bc it’s a good video and also I voiced a line in it so gooo go watchhh)

Released a new vid yesterday! Apparently YouTube has a 'hype' feature now, so if you feel so inclined, throw some 'hype' points my way and maybe the video will be shown to more people? Not a clue, honestly

✨🌱farming game fans🌱✨ definitely definitely check out Ben's latest video, really relatable things in here and it's an absolute banger of a video in general. ((thank you so much for my lil part in it!!))

vouch for this video like crazy! was given the task of checking there were no glaring errors and ended up so engaged I put down the notepad, and just sat jealously gawking at the writing, editing and message. go watch!!!

tomorrow :D

Bowser's Inside Story has many admirable qualities, using its obvious affection for the DS to adapt more of the Mario universe into RPG form. It makes for a pretty strange game, but I wouldn't have Bowser's best and only outing any other way. youtu.be/bE737LPgzrE

***New video is out!*** I made the Blue Prince video. It took me 6 months. It's here. Video here: youtu.be/RYQl5hcipUM Support me here: patreon.com/pixeladay Thanks to @electrondance.com for lending his voice and also doing the best writing on puzzle games that the Earth has ever known

I see the 'what even is an indie game' discourse has reared its reliable head again. Here's my take from a year ago. Repost it along with your favourite underrated indie game/s youtu.be/67V-GSaceFQ More random thoughts below.

Assuming all goes to plan, new video should be up Sunday

Steven Spielberg, notable for directing *squints* Boom Blox Bash Party on the Nintendo Wii

what the hell is going on at amazon

Look, I'm glad Zohran Mamdani won that election, but I have to ask - does this positively impact anyone outside of New York? Are we all just happy to see some hope, somewhere in the world? Or, perhaps inexplicably, is everyone I follow actually from New York? Is this how I find out?

I've just realised a child born on the day Metroid Prime 3 released would now be an adult, just in time for Metroid Prime 4's release i hope i never have to wait this long for a sequel again

Haven't finished the game yet but I already have a rough idea of my thesis for the inevitable Stray Children video. Feel like it's bound to be a massive undertaking, but it's the most excited I've ever been to talk about a game - so totally enamoured by it

He has no style 🎵 He has no grace 🎵 This Kong has a funny face 🎵

One man is hoping for at least a nod of recognition towards his gaming-themed pumpkin. paletteswap.site/dif...

I replayed Pokémon Ultra Sun and, to my surprise, had fun. Unfortunately, some of that fun was undermined when the game started asking scintillating questions like "let's tacitly justify Pokémon torture" and "Lillie is useless." Oh. Neither of those were questions, were they? youtu.be/JotCgyIe70U

New video! I analysed a decade of The Game Awards to uncover the surprising trends behind what games win, and answer if there's a TGA equivelent to "Oscar Bait". 📼 youtu.be/APgWxCdGI5A

It has been a long, long road finishing this project, but MORSE, my strategy game that teaches telegraphy, finally releases on Steam November 11th. To those who've waited, thank you for your patience. #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games #indiedev

This was incredibly optimistic but November for sure

Inspired? Everything we do in life is influenced in some way by Mr Blobby, he mentally scarred all British people of a certain age. If you know, you know. The Dr. Spotty hero card was our homage to our nightmarish OG.

Why does Kirby Air Riders look like the greatest racing game ever made?

Been trying to manifest 'being at home playing Ninja Gaiden 4' all morning, but I haven't had any luck so far

hey a friend made a new video and i helped with the thumbnail and playtesting so you should check it out (:

Pretty confident that I'll have a new video out by the end of the month! First year ever that I'll have released more than 1 video essay (whoops)

NEW VIDEO! Looking for something fresh to play this weekend? Here's my rapid-fire recommendations from October's Steam Next Fest, including Absolum, Big Hops, Skate Story, and a hedge clearing minigolf game called Trimjob. More at the link: youtu.be/O3UeXBUjyTY

Today is moon: Remix RPG Adventure's 28th birthday! To celebrate, why not check out this video I made about the game a few years ago? www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4y5...

I needed 10 seconds of pretty specific footage for my video and now my watch history looks insane

youtu.be/XHS0BlpQVhQ Spyro was a greater influence on me as a kid than anything else, including the multiple repeated blows to the head. Perhaps due to either of those things, I have long struggled to know what to say about it - but now I believe I Have Finally Found The Words For Spyro.

words frankly could not describe how excited i am for this

Let's weigh in on the discourse surrounding this year's most highly acclaimed release... youtu.be/_jEXbn6-tWg

Podcasting is now twenty years old. And that means shows that ran for years are now just a bunch of URLs that resolve to nothing. Sometimes, someone uploads a full set of mp3s to archive.org, and that’s great! But you can’t easily listen the same way as your other podcasts. What if you could? 🧵
