Showing Cloud in the Final Fantasy Resonance immediately moved me from "Oh, I'm excited for this!" to "Wait... is this a mobile/live service game" That's a pivot you don't want consumers to make.

We’re starting a brand new horror run today with Crisol: Theater of Idols! Blood is ammo, the creatures are creepy, and that's about all I know! Live at 10AM CST! lnk.bio/cdubya719 #HorrorGames #IndieGames #BlumhouseGames

ummmmmm... wha? I saw this in an old @gameinformer.com (Issue 84) Magazine. How did I not know this was a thing? Halo was originally announced for Playstation 2?!? Did ya'll know this?! #retrogames #xbox #playstation

We put down Echo Generation 2 temporarily while waiting for a patch to fix an issue with a late-game boss. It's resolved, so we're diving BACK IN and hoping to roll credits today! @cococucumber.bsky.social #echogeneration2 #indiegame www.lnk.bio/cdubya719

Today should be a fun one! We're diving into a cozy gas station management game called The Last Gas Station that has a dark hidden side. Take a look at this short I released yesterday and if you want more stop by my stream! lnk.bio/cdubya719 #indiegame #cozy #pixelart youtube.com/shorts/o8NiW...

Today we're pushing the end of Echo Generation 2! A game (and series) that deserves more of your attention. I hope it is finding its audience!🙏🏻 Stream starts at 10AM CST! #echogeneration #indiegames #gamepass #newreleases lnk.bio/Cdubya719

Echo Generation 2 has been so solid so far. It's a solid sequel to what was my #8 GOTY in 2021. Here are my thoughts after day 1! (a day late😅) @cococucumber.bsky.social #indiegames #echogeneration2 youtube.com/shorts/gq5JS...

Reviewed Dosa Divas alongside interviewed game’s creative director. Corporatism abound. Stephen truly saw my pitch/vision. If you subscribe to Game File due to this piece—I will get paid more moneys, so please subscribe; so I can get paid even more moneys to allow this type of work at Game File!

Day 1 of Echo Generation 2 was a hit! The change to card combat offers differing complexity between chapters and characters and the game showcases more of that incredibly vibrant voxel art. Day 2 starts now! lnk.bio/cdubya719 @cococucumberco #indiegames #echogeneration2

Echo Generation was a top 10 game for me in 2021! Today, we're firing up the sequel. Let's hope @cococucumber.bsky.social delivers another great experience! Come hang! Stream starts at 10AM CST on Twitch AND YouTube! lnk.bio/cdubya719 #EchoGeneration2 #IndieGame #JRPG #PixelArt #LiveStream

Update for tomorrow! NO stream! Kiddo has track & field day and we're going to go for a bit! Since I was on the fence about what to play tomorrow, we'll just come back on Wed. with Echo Generation 2! @cococucumber.bsky.social Have a great evening, an awesome Tues., and we'll see you on Wed.!

Today we're jumping BACK into Forza Horizon 6! We're getting the FINAL wristband today AND finishing the rest of the the first Festival Playlist! Stream starts at 10AM CST! @horizon.forza.net #ForzaHorizon6 #gamepass lnk.bio/cdubya719

Luna Abyss has been a trip so far. The indie energy is strong with this one. Great Setting, Great (horrifying) characters, and a darkness below the surface that has me pumped to see how it ends today! Stream starts at 10AM CST! @lunaabyssgame.bsky.social #indiegames #bullethell lnk.bio/cdubya719

Thrifty Business lands TODAY. Think Unpacking with a twist! Unpack boxes and run the thrift shop that sells the items you unveil! @spellgardengames.com #thriftybusiness #indiegame #newrelease Short - youtube.com/shorts/rGMqD... Store Page - store.steampowered.com/app/3693650/...

If you grew up on Golden Axe or Final Fight, Mad King Redemption was basically made for you. It's a Pixel-art brawler built on Roguelite bones and it hit Early Access today! youtube.com/shorts/9rrJo... #Roguelite #EarlyAccess #IndieGame #GameDiscovery #MadKingRedemption

PLAY SAROS! This is one of the best action games out there!

After 14 years in development, Clockwork Ambrosia launched today. Metroidvania, pixel-art, and indie game fans, watch this and see if it's your thing! My guess is that it probably will be! youtube.com/shorts/_6wuA... #clockworkambrosia #metroidvania #indiegames

Day 1 of Directive 8020 starts at 10AM CST 👀 New sci-fi horror from @supermassivegames.bsky.social with branching choices, paranoia, and a crew that already feels doomed. This should go GREAT! Just... great... 🚨 #Directive8020 #TheDarkPictures #HorrorGaming 🎥 lnk.bio/cdubya719

I don't usually cover games without a release date. A friend asked me to check out this demo and it changed my mind. Black Powder Magic is shaping up to be really good and the dev, Teekond Stuudio, is actively looking for your feedback! youtube.com/shorts/DNLVq... #IndieGames #SteamWishlist

Final day with Saros. Whatever's been building in the background of this whole game, we're about to see it through to the end! Come hang on Twitch or YouTube. lnk.bio/cdubya719 @playstation.com #Saros #PS5 #LiveNow

This is great to see, but what it really means is that I need to continue to work on converting views to subs, we're getting there though as April was my best month ever for new subs! @vidiq.bsky.social has been instrumental in helping me understand the intricacies of YouTube! #gaming #roadto1000

A hand-drawn Metroidvania where you become the paint AND #5 on my 2025 GOTY list! Constance hits PS5, Xbox Series & Switch TODAY!

A cryptic 1995 CD-ROM. An eyeball that sells upgrades from a wall. A real world meta-narrative mystery begging to be solved. Forbidden Solitaire isn't what I expected... and that's a good thing! @greyalien.bsky.social @slicknicklives.bsky.social #ForbiddenSolitaire #IndieGames Link in replies! 👇🏻

We're back with more SAROS! We took out the first boss, Prophet, yesterday. Which means that today, we're off to the unknown! So far Housemarque has delivered another banger of a game! @Twitch - twitch.tv/cdubya719 @YouTube - www.youtube.com/live/-PRwN8j... #Saros #PS5 #livestream

Hexe Marie is wrecking me to absolute pieces. I also hate this boss fight with an absolute passion. Who's got pointers, who's got the pro strats!? #crimsondesert #hexemarie lnk.bio/cdubya719

went a whole weekend without Crimson Desert and honestly… didn’t like that 😅 back at it today: wrapping Chapter 8 + getting into faction quests question: do we push into Chapter 9 today or let it breathe a bit? lnk.bio/cdubya719

YouTube is so different from Twitch but I love learning it so much more! We're making good progress and just had our best month ever in March with 54,246 views and 46 new subs! Thank you to everyone who's subbed or just stopped by!❤️💚 Next stop, 1,000 Subscribers! #YouTubeGrowth

I REALLY thought I could stop playing Crimson Desert to return to Dragon Quest VII today. LIke... I REALLY thought I could do it... ...I couldn't. Crimson Desert LIVE at 10AM CST! lnk.bio/cdubya719 #crimsondesert #livestream #pearlabyss

Today we're going to wrap up Chapter 7 of Crimson Desert then I want to spend a BUNCH of time doing some treasure hunting! Who wants to come explore with me?! lnk.bio/cdubya719

I'm starting to think that it's going to be REAL HARD for any other game to top Crimson Desert as my GOTY! We're jumping back into Chapter 5 of the main story today! #crimsondesert #goty #livestream lnk.bio/cdubya719

Stream schedule for the week of 3/30! (CST) Mon 10AM - #crimsondesert Day 11 Tue 9AM - CD Day 12 Wed 10AM - CD Day 13 Thu 10AM - CD Day 14 Fri 10AM - #dragonquestVIIReimagined Day 11 Sat 10AM - DQVII Day 12 Sun 10AM - DQ VII Day 13 Help me reach 1,000 YT Subs! 👉🏻 lnk.bio/cdubya719

We're live today checking out Patch 1.01.00 for Crimson Desert! We should see faster load times, lower stamina costs, and a boat-load of other stuff! Let's take a look right now! lnk.bio/cdubya719

Crimson Desert is like visiting an iconic city in real life. Do I have any expectations of seeing everything the city has to offer? No, of course not, but am I enjoying my time seeing what I can see? Undeniably so! Stream starts in 10! lnk.bio/cdubya719

Wow! 1 Week with Crimson Desert and WHAT A WEEK IT HAS BEEN! If you are on still the fence or you're convinced that this game is "bad" based solely on other people early opinions, I invite you to come in and let me try to change your mind! #crimsondesert lnk.bio/cdubya719

Here we go! Another FULL day of Crimson Desert starts now! Pushing to complete Chapter 4 before we get back to open-world exploration! lnk.bio/cdubya719 Won't be asking chat for help either.. because every time...

We're going LIVE again with more #crimsondesert, a game I simply can't get enough of. Maybe today we'll tackle the quarry, or maybe I'll get distracted by all the cool stuff for another 5 hours 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻 Live at 10AM CST lnk.bio/cdubya719 #livestream

Another FULL day of Crimson Desert starts at 10 AM CST! Our big objective for today will be to clear out the MASSIVE Quarry. My opinion on this game continues to grow the more time I spend with it 📈📈📈 #crimsondesert #ps5 #livestream lnk.bio/cdubya719

#CrimsonDesert deserves all the criticism it gets. I was pretty unsure after a couple hours, but now I'm into it in a way I haven't been into a video game for a long time. It's a VERY mixed bag and I can't wait to see what we discover today! Live at 10AM CST! lnk.bio/cdubya719

I've already experienced some pretty low lows and some pretty high highs with #CrimsonDesert, but after day 1 I AM READY to jump back in! This game has something that's got me needing to see more! Day 2 starts at Noon CST! Come on in! #PearlAbyss #LiveStream #Saturday lnk.bio/cdubya719

Crimson Desert feels like a mash up of BOTW, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, and Dragon's Dogma 2 if they were all controlled by this.

I found the REAL first boss in #crimsondesert. Good luck conquering this fiend 😡 #gamingclips #shortsvideo lnk.bio/cdubya719

We're Live with Day 1 of Crimson Desert! Come on in! Twitch OR YouTube, wherever you prefer! 🔗lnk.bio/cdubya719
