Still WIP. Had some crazy shit go down in my life last weekend, which took away a lot of editing time. I'm roughly 3/5s of the way through editing, though! Count on early March.

Nevermind, I'm a fucking idiot. I got teleported to this area a long time ago and just completely forgot about it.

So I have the Fire Fades edition of DS3 on PS5 (with all the DLC on the disc) and I can access the Ringed City but not Ashes of Ariandel? I’ve even purchased that DLC separately and had no luck. Anyone else ever experience this issue?

New video on the Sega Saturn is live on YouTube! Even if you don't know much about the system, I hope you give at least one of these games a chance, as the Saturn has a lot of art that did not receive the recognition it deserved.

i think i would crash out if we had pokémon for 3 straight years

Wow, 2027. Who would’ve
thought they’d ever give these games more time in the oven…

It would seem that it is 🙂

Side note, but it’s kinda funny we both happen to be playing DS3 and are in nearly the exact same spot lol

very large number 😟

I think things could have played out differently if it weren’t shown at TGA at all. (or even somewhere in the middle of it) If it organically flopped, whatever, but I just want people to remember that your words do have very real consequences.

Sounds like there were some internal issues here, but the response to this game after its announcement by the public was disgusting.

Was I interested in it? No. But people immediately wrote it off for the crime of closing out the Game Awards.

Haven’t played Nightreign so can’t comment. I LOVE Dragonslayer Armor, but nah. Mechanically, Champ is one of the best bosses in the entire DS series

Can I say something real quick?

Champion Gundyr > Knight Artorias.

No idea if this is a hot take or not, but it feels like it is.

Here are my top 10 games of the 2020's so far.

10. Astro Bot
9. Mario Kart World
8. Resident Evil 4 Remake
7. Hi-Fi Rush
6. Yakuza: Like a Dragon
5. Metroid Dread
4. Hollow Knight: Silksong
3. Elden Ring
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 3
1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Baldur’s Gate 3 will probably be here

BASED!!

Just run the Sellsword Twinblades in DS3 and scour the world for titanite shards and you’re golden.

My Dark Souls obsession has reached new levels nobody thought possible. I’ve always loved these games, but something about them has had an insane grip on me lately. In the middle of this DS3 replay, I decided to start up a new, separate SL1 file because I can’t get enough. lmao

8. Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss

Adds some much-needed tough bosses to this game, making the whole package a lot stronger. Never actually played the DLC until now, but it was definitely worth running through the game again for! Knight Artorias really is as great as people say.

POV: somebody recommends you play Xenoblade Chronicles

one of the all time greats 😔

Just as I sat down to record audio, I learned that the 30 minutes of it I recorded yesterday did not save properly and are now lost. 🫠

Still chipping away at the Metroid Prime 4 video! Will probably end up being a late February/very early March release. I kinda overestimated how much time I would have to work on it this month—sorry!

Katamari Damacy is a game that scratches an itch most others do not. It's a weird game that has inspired me to create a weird video, one that's about the game but more so about something larger. Watch me stumble my way through a video about why art is important to me and to the world.

Weirdly good State of Play. Maybe one of their best? It will be eclipsed whenever they decide to do something with Bloodborne though 😩

best prosecutor in the series lowkey 🫣

7. Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations

Everything people say about this game is true; best collection of cases in the series along with a genius overarching story. Takes all the best elements from past games to boot. And more Gumshoe. What’s not to love?

Doing my usual opinion binge of a game after I finish it for the first time, and I'm kind of baffled by people's general favorite bosses in DS2? It's got some decent bosses here and there, but I'd fight basically any DS3 boss over 95% of the DS2 bosses. Fume Knight is not THAT good, you guys.

what if I like that the British have to pay more for video games?
