Revisiting Papers Please in a Post-ICE World youtu.be/XIn0TMoGTpE

Me 99% of the time: man I fucking hate editing this shit is gonna take forever

Me 1% of the time: IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER IM SO FUCKING LOCKED IN DUDE LETS GOOOOOOOO

Style Savvy Trendsetters has, like, one of the best relaxing soundtracks and is totally underused in Nintendo music compilations

Me yesterday: "HELL YEAH NEW PR ON MY SQUAT LETS GOOOOOOOOO"

Me today: "wow I have a real weird feeling going on in my leg wonder what's happening there"

I played DESIRE recently, and it made me realize the "Ever17 twist" that's been so common in indie games is at least a whole decade older than I thought

At the same time, it seems there's still so much of YU-NO that still hasn't been replicated. The last route comes to mind, just completely changing the premise in a way that still fits thematically

I don't think I've played a single game in my adult life that I thought was too short

YU-NO is so addicting, no other multiple route mystery made me that excited to explore its timeline

Highguard is to Overwatch as Undertale is to Cave Story

I did not expect this to be such a powerful and moving piece of art

I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Absolutely shocked Chase Infiniti didn't get an Oscar nom, I figured the whole One Battle After Another cast was a lock for noms

I could never write notes in a book. It's like choosing someone else's tattoo.

I made as many videos as Lindsay Ellis did last year, and she supposedly retired 💀 I really gotta up my game

Rewatching hazel's videos always gets me so inspired to make videos. She speaks with so much love for media without trying to convince someone of her opinions. Almost makes me forget that I hate Magical Vacation

CRT pixel art conversations are so foreign to me as an older Gen Z person, because I experienced retro games on flat screens since I was a kid so that's what I'm nostalgic for.

I find it amusing that there's a guy named Heidegger in FF7

Maybe the reason nobody talks about Avatar is that you're apparently not allowed to

It sucks so much when I put so much effort into a YouTube video and then it gets copyright struck immediately. Not even demonitized, blocked.

I started on youtube because I like talking about shit that doesn't matter and shit that matters a lot keeps happening. you hate to see it

"It's called tonal dissonance and it's a valid artistic technique"

-me when i add a joke to my video at an inappropriate time

I really don't think people should make shorts unless they enjoy making them (same goes for longer videos!), but they are way easier to gain an audience with as a smaller channel. The low-commitment format leads to people being more likely to try a new channel in my experience.

Looking into this

i have a theory art might do stuff outside of a binary evaluation. idk id need to do more research

two common "design lenses" through which games are critiqued
- the goofus gamer who evaluates design as "good" or "bad" based on their personal tastes
- the gallant gamer who tries to infer the author's intent and evaluates whether said intent is well-realized
i think i don't care for either anymore

My least favorite part of Avatar is that James Cameron wants everyone to wear an adult diaper to watch it :/

Dead Rising

Carly Rae Jepsen is NOT in my Spotify wrapped? I don't even recognize myself anymore. Who am I?

YouTube recap with "Channels you watched" ProZD and Jacob Geller under the anime category

My YouTube recap categorized @jacobgeller.com as an anime Youtuber? I could probably count the number of times the channel even referenced anime on one hand.

YouTube keeps recommending me "The Music of Asia" and it's the ost to some dating sim I looked up once
