Video essays on video games. They may focus on gameplay or writing, or something more abstract and fundamental. I upload videos as frequently as I can manage. A lot of work goes into them and I'm just one guy.

I'd say that Charlie Kirk wouldn't have wanted his death to be used as a ploy to crack down and strip away the first amendment, but he was such a shameless right wing Grifter that he would actually be totally fine with it and if another talking head had died in his place, he'd be doing the same.

Gotta love the fake outrage from conservatives about democrats "disrespectful towards the child with cancer." I'm pretty sure stealing money from a children's cancer charity is a LOT more disrespectful than not playing along as you use a poor sick kid as a prop.

A VERY new direction it seems

Every American was legally declared a woman via executive order. I guess that's one way to get a female president...

You know, I feel like it's becoming very clear who had issues with Trump because he's a terrible person and awful president, and who just jumped on the hate train to fit in. The amount of people who are "giving him a chance" is just laughable.

So that new "Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman" show. I think it'll be nice to get some classic smaller scale Spiderman stuff. But like, anybody else think it looks really cheap? Not bad art direction, but it seems like the budget was tight.

It's always kinda nice how long the liminal space between Christmas and New Years feels. It's like time stops working right.

You see, it's because these people talk to so few women, that even 7% blows their lived experience out of the water.

"We guard against unnecessary care" -Andrew Witty, CEO of United Health Group, who is currently alive, breathing, with no bullets inside him.

Not to be confused with the other related CEO who got gunned down for being this exact kind of inhumane bastard.

He's as smart as any other of the disgusting vermin that dwell in his cesspool of a room. He's got as much media literacy as XQC but thinks he has things of value to contribute to the discussion.

He doesn't discuss media, he does digital fracking. Only good for poisoning wells and enriching himself

I feel like there's a lot of interesting things to talk about when it comes to the design of State of Decay 2. But nobody really does. I'm hoping to at some point.

Yeah that's what I've heard. It did turn out plenty of good stuff. But there's a difference between limitations leading to creativity and squeezing your staff in a vice until good writing leaks out.

I'm noticing a trend with these retrospectives of complete hopeless disaster up until the last second where it all somehow worked out perfectly.

Agreed. I intend to do some videos on it.

Turned off Steam's "sort by recent activity filter" and it's great. I am once again ignorant to the rapid passage of time. 2005 was 5 years ago!

I always find it funny how Tiamat's always written to be very reasonable and overall good to work with in adventures. I get why she's got such a cult. Like you expect it from the devils, that's their whole deal. But even the giant evil 5 headed dragon is a smooth operator.

I must say, naming a game after one of Gamers mortal enemies (personal hygiene) was a bold and risky artistic choice.

Honestly, if you find the time and have the itch, I would say you just do it just for yourself.

Don't stress about production value or putting on a spectacle, just throw on a game and chill with your viewers.

Joseph Tweedale got absolutely robbed. Dude deserved to win best performance, but he wasn't even nominated. His portrayal of Louis is such a phenomenal piece of work. Without the charisma he brought to the role, the entire game would've suffered.

One time I had a player late because they "got hit by a car" the lazy prick.

So I paid $5 for a really pretty battlemap for D&D only to notice afterwards that the layout is screwed since it's effectively missing doors. But being the stubborn fool I am, I spent over an hour editing the image to add doors. I bought the map, I'm gonna use the map!

So I started playing Veilguard directly after I beat Metaphor ReFantazio, which is my GOTY. That's a pretty rough act to follow.

I've got plenty of criticism of Veilguard, but considering I'm still overall enjoying my time with it, it's doing something right.
