Playtime is officially over, kiddies!

Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 have finally stomped their way on to Steam. Celebrate this prehistoric occasion by getting both games for 50% off until February 26.

I'm well aware that he's a nutjob, but what the hell is this album art?

Everyone operates their own way, but consistency and conciseness is where I want to go. Even if I did like making longer videos, I'm not in the position to do so. People aren't going to drop everything to watch a big long video from me. I'm not Noah Caldwell-Gervais. Gotta grow the following first.

I've been tempted to do that with the Donkey Kong videos I've made, but...eh. I don't want to get sucked into the long video meta. I'd rather not risk wasting my viewers' time and getting shame-screenshot. I don't even like making long videos because it (usually) wears me out.

It's a very awkward feeling that, in a sea of endless criticism toward videos that are way too long, I get a comment from a viewer that wishes my videos were longer.

Been waiting to hear the Knocked Loose/Denzel Curry track all day after it was teased. No surprises: it absolutely rules. youtu.be/hBn7D3Cxsp0?...

Kinda wanna get back to my roots and make another video on a horror game. Not Silent Hill 1, but another one. Might enlist some collaborators who are well-versed in horror games. If you are or know someone who'd be willing to collab on that kind of project, let me know!

As someone scrambling to grab onto the bottom rung of the music criticism ladder, I love seeing music writing like this: richly detailed, subtly comedic, and carefully balanced between the story of the artist and the story of the critic. Seeing the music I love conveyed like this is just super cool.

Genuinely surprised at how many people have (or had) Discord Nitro, ngl.

10.02.2026 02:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm leaning towards the latter. My big concern is the safety of the identification documents they collect. Discord doesn't have a good track record on that at all, so I'm not jumping to verify myself on their service. They haven't earned that trust.

09.02.2026 18:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

There does lie the chance that they roll this announcement back, but if not, then it looks like it's the already age-restricted stuff that'll require verification. I haven't seen any indication of anything else being immensely affected overall.

Dirty fraud begins his first playthrough of an obscure little game that no one has heard of.

Damn, that's a real win for Anime STL. After getting Dokibird to attend last year, the VTuber wave continues.

Admitting that your source is unreliable is just asking for the Senator Armstrong "I Made it Up" meme, I swear...

Why Did They Remake This Game? | Yooka-Replaylee Review
YouTube video by Webster Likes Games Why Did They Remake This Game? | Yooka-Replaylee Review

Now that my video is out, I can catch up on other videos on Yooka-Replaylee. I think @samwebster.bsky.social made some especially keen observations in his video, including that all of the game's jokes about corporate culture reek of cognitive dissonance when coming from a post-layoff Playtonic.

Now Playing: "Salva" by Karnivool, from In Verses.

Now Playing: "Salva" by Karnivool, from In Verses.

After a 13-year wait, Karnivool's fourth album In Verses is here. Did it deliver? Not sure yet. Their previous album Asymmetry was a slow burn for me and this one's even more of one. Fewer hooks, more moodiness, but one thing's for sure...holy crap, WHAT A CLOSER. #NowPlaying

So much exciting music coming out tomorrow:

But all that is gonna have to wait, because I've been waiting on a new Karnivool album for nearly 13 years.

A native, non-cloud version of the complete KH game library would be a real treat, even if it's already on PC.

It all started with that incredible DK64 video, Brian. I'm happy to call you a friend as well and thank you for always being around to chat. We all have our struggles but we have our victories too. Stay strong and stay awesome. โœŒ๏ธ

YouTube video by The Damned Things - Topic Ironiclast

Been revisiting an old 2010's rock LP that I really loved when it first released. Members of Every Time I Die, Fall Out Boy, and Anthrax came together under the moniker The Damned Things. While the style is straightforward hard rock, there are so many hits here. youtu.be/x7Y-iv_Dth8?... #NowPlaying

Final bump on the Yooka-Replaylee video before it's in the hands of the SEO gods. Not every comment was positive, but I was happy to see how many people got what I was going for. Thank you for spreading the love on this one. โค๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ

Bump on my new video on Yooka-Replaylee. Despite getting a less positive reception than other videos, this has been one of the best-performing video releases I've had in years (even beating out the DK Bananza video). I hope you enjoy it and please share it around if you did! โค๏ธ

New video essay dropped this morning! I talk about my complicated thoughts on Yooka-Replaylee, a remake that significantly swerves away from its original game's design, and how this swerve doesn't provide an automatically better experience. Hope you enjoy the video! ๐ŸฆŽ๐Ÿฆ‡
