#Megaplex, today's your last day and sadly I can not come.

Pro's: You've grown into a great medium sized con.
Hotel Staff and con staff were brilliant.

Con: You need a bigger space like the convention center.
More staff is needed to better handle your lines.

Can't wait till 2026. #furry

Alright, #Megaplex, you beat Battle of the Ministry 3 hours and 55 minutes in line.

The end of the #megaplex line is in sight! Or at least the longest part of it.

Bad news, this is the midway point for the straight stretch.

#Megaplex #Linecon update, 3 hours, made it to the front desk, still a ways to go.

So tired of this line I wrote Lone. Ready for it to be over.

#Megaplex Lone closed for 20 minutes, past end 10 minutes ago, hitting curve at 2 hours and 30 minutes

Loop back toward the front, time waiting so far: 1 hour and 40 minutes. #Megaplex

At #Megaplex, online preregistration line is literally over 3 hours long. This is literally as long a wait as "Battle of the Ministry" at Epic, wild.

E3 died and the games industry just said " The show must go on! Let's keep going."

Have seen a few games to look into for train reasons, Thick as Thieves, Dying Light: The Beast, Stranger than Heaven, and maybe Mindseye so far.

Been busy with my new job, we opened a new theme park so things have been busy but today the stress finally got to me and I had a bit of a break down.

I will get back to Do Games Get Trains, just gotta focus on rent and bills first.

You know, I guess this is it for me owning games. Game Pass will be the only way I can afford games till they arrive on a Steam sale.

I just moved multiple states on a bet that a major employer in the area, who I worked for before, would hire me again. It was risky, I'm terrified, my car got damaged in the move, but to make rent, I have to get started soon, yay.

So outside gaming, I take photos. Mythical Photography has been a bit dormant but I think it's time to escape Instagram and Facebook. So I'm starting a DeviantArt. I'll be going through my photos, and uploading them in the next few days. It's gonna be a fun trip down memory lane I suspect.

Talk about a ghost. Was looking through some of my favorite old photos and found some of this locomotives' last run. Attempts to find where it went afterwards is pretty much a dead-end. The day of, crew said she was heading to a new scenic railroad, only for it to vanish afterwards.

Fighting depression is hard, especially now that I'm looking down the barel of a move.

I want to create 3 videos on my next day off. Mafia 3, and 2 others just so I can get ahead and have fun.

So, we have a date. I'm moving away from West Virginia. I loved seeing my parents and being there for my aunts funeral but... it's time to leave.

I guess I'm boycotting GTA 6, not because I want to, but because I chose desktop instead of console this generation.

So don't expect a GTA 6 "Do Games Get Trains" till Rockstar graces us the mercy of a PC release.

So, read a report that "Agatha All Along" had been watched 2.2 billion minutes last year. While the article is all about how it wasn't watched that much,I couldn't stop thinking about that scale.

That's about 41 Centuries. A collective of about 41 Centuries worth of time was spent watching Agatha.

So things are at a point where I need to move. Looking at opening a "GoFundMe" and increasing my video output to try and get to a point where "Do Game's Get Trains" may create a passive income on TikTok.

Panic, and fear are great motivators to get to work.

Outside of negativity blowing up my YouTube, I'm busy working on my next video/review. Mafia 3's is coming together.

Not sure what's next afterwards, maybe a train game or something. I have such a big list to go through I could just throw a dart at it and do what ever it hits next.

Factorio continues to blow up on YouTube, really tempted to make a video about "Do Gamers get Algortithms" because they are the most vocally upset players which has caused that video to spike in views to the moon. It's wild to see how vocal toxicity allows videos to be seen more.

I've been taking a break from retail after non-stop entry only roles for over a decade.

I'm tired of being denied the promotions I work so hard for. Maybe in 2025, I'll apply for another entry position, but for now, I'll write.

It's odd watching my videos succeed on TikTok but struggle hard on YouTube.

The only time they get close is when the game gets a big update. Then that version explodes for a bit.

Satis. release and Factorio DLC for example, caused tens of thousands of views overnight on YT. Curious to see.

Do Games Get Trains? Just Cause 3 is a third person, action adventure title made by #avalanchestudios. Their 2015 entry was the first to have trains running around the open world. With just a chain of... TikTok video by SylvarCopperhoof

#JustCause3 finally get's it's moment for review. It's a rather, explosive game and I kept getting lose blowing things up while recording, but here's my "Do Games Get Trains" review for the title.

YouTube video by Gaming In The Grove Do Games Get Trains? Factorio

Speaking on the #Factorio video, went looking through #TikTok and #YouTube to see if the responses are consistent.

So far YT has the most people upset, I even found comments on other videos about how other games scored higher than Factorio.

I swear. 😆

I have learned #Factorio players are.. well, the most upset when not being told their game is the best. My "Do Games Get Trains" episode is constantly getting comments from people telling me how wrong I am for my own scoring system. Least it means more engagement so more people see the video. :D

What is "Phoenixes & Steel"? It's a steampunk, young adult fantasy adventure. Kar'oth and his friends get pulled into a journey to deliver a message, uncovering conspiracies and dodging danger around every turn.

I've been working on a book for years. I gave it a new name this year, and I've started rereading/editing it to get it all up to my current standards. I can't wait to get "Phoenixes & Steel" published because I think people will really enjoy it.

Started #STALKER2 the other night, played to after the opening credits, absolutely cheesed the enemies in the intro and just kited them all, running to the next area. Fun game, I'm excited to dig more into it and then later do an episode of "Do Games Get Trains."
