The reactions to the Fire Red and Leaf Green rereleases just further reaffirm to me that pocket watching is one of the most exhausting parts of modern gamer culture and people really need to stop worrying about how random strangers spend their money

The recent influx of “I respect this medium as art more than you!” nerds are a special kind of obnoxious

YouTube video by NCS How The Game Awards Killed Highguard

New 2nd channel video!

Highguard is not even a month old and already seems to be on the verge of collapse, and a lot of that likely falls on overexposure from The Game Awards

Let’s talk about it

YouTube video by NCS Games Are Too Big and Taking Too Long

New 2nd channel video

The current console gen is going on 6 years and still barely feels like it’s started, and I believe a part of that is due to how long games are taking to make due to their bloated scope

Let’s talk about it

NCS The 2nd channel of TheNCSmaster. Here you'll find my unscripted discussion videos, reactions to gaming events, and experimental projects like skits. Main channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thencsmaste...

Just a reminder I have a 2nd YouTube Channel (that may have to become my main if monetization on my current main doesn’t work out)

If you’re at all interested in my YouTube work I’d recommend subbing to it

Please forgive the bait-ey title and thumbnail. Gotta play the algorithm a bit with the 2nd channel

YouTube video by NCS Nintendo Needs To Step It Up

The latest Nintendo Direct felt incredibly underwhelming even for a Partner Showcase

And I think a lot of that has to do with timing

Let’s talk about it

Funny story with the Nintendo Direct

I had to go into work early so it didn’t start till I was an hour into my shift, so I was watching it in secret with my phone mute but I then faintly hear the audio

I turn around. My coworker is also secretly watching it right behind me LMAO

Ngl that may have been the worst Direct Nintendo’s had in years

Even by the metrics of a Partner Showcase

Place your bets on how many posts complain about no 3D Mario Lol

Honest question

If I move YouTube channels and restart by uploading main content on my 2nd channel, would y’all still be willing to support me?

YT monetization is fucked up and I’m not sure if I can monetize my main channel cause of stupid mistakes. So I may have to start over

Our grandkids are gonna come back from school the day history class talks about the 2020’s and be like

“Grandma/Grandpa you LIVED through this shit?!”

Apparently Highguard didn’t pay for the TGA ending spot, the production just chose to make it the closer……

On a show with Control 2, Mega Man 12, KOTOR 3, new Divinity, and new Tomb Raider…..Geoff….you gotta know better come on

2 weeks into the new year and I’ve seen moots post about how they already beat multiple new games and I’m like how in tf?

And then. Oh right. I’m employed 💀

Work: “You gotta pour all this milk out cause it’s close to date”

Me: “Oh it still has 4 days, can I take one home with me if we’re just trashing it?”

Work: “No. It’s store policy and you’d be fired”

IDK if I’ll ever be big enough to make good money from YouTube, and while I don’t THINK I’m completely fucked, if I locked myself out of that on my current channel I’m jumping off a bridge 💀

Praying I’m doing things right with Adsense on YouTube Lol. A while ago I accidentally created the account as an organization instead of an individual so now I think I need to delete that Adsense account and wait to create a new one

Happy new year

I’m lowkey just trying to hold onto reasons to get out of bed in the morning Lol. I’m not even feigning “my year” Lol

Friends and I were joking the other day how it’s both hilarious and sad that Half-Life 3 feels more realistic than Bloodborne Remastered at this point

I cannot fucking stand how the Steelers are afraid of change. They’re like someone who sticks in a crappy relationship because you occasionally have some nice days together when it’s obvious it’s unhealthy

This team’s been stuck in the same spot since I was 16. CHANGE YOUR DAMN COACHES

I think if it sells well enough they’ll justify it. They made a sequel to 1 2 Switch of all things Lmao

Everything we’ve heard about Prime 4 in the past few days it sounds like a miracle this game even released

Retro wasn’t prepared, had to rework the failed structure, COVID, like if this was a western studio this shit woulda been cancelled in like 2021 Lol

The prototype Shadow the Hedgehog title screen is just a debut album Lmao

So it sounds like Retro didn’t get to build Prime 4 from the ground up and had to rework a good amount of the scrapped build

That explains a lot of the game’s clunky elements and gives me hope for Prime 5 cause now they’ll be able to start from ground zero with their own vision

Mer Churstmus

Seeing people compare the Mega Man 11 and 12 models reminds me how a lot of people switched up on the Crash N Sane model after seeing Crash 4

So I guess a lot of people are moving here again? At least artists?

I think?

IDK with all the AI talk I’m expecting HAL 9000 to be running the internet in 5 years 😭
