Genuinely disappointed Perfect Dark was cancelled.

It’s such a shame a game can get so far into development and end up being canned.

It's got enough room for me & the whole squad ⚔️

Probably Crash Bandicoot 2! Improved on Crash 1 in just about every way, imo

I found the dark soul

Thank you for proving my point random person who doesn't follow either of us.

I agree.
Part of why I wanted to try Blue Sky was to get away from everyone angrily posting their political opinions and staying in their bubbles - only to find on Blue Sky everyone is doing the exact same thing - and that’s what seems to get pushed to me.

First game I’m playing on my Switch 2. Very lucky it has the power to handle these graphics.

It’s pretty cool here. 👌🏼

I feel old.

My first video that ‘exploded’ ended up making me feel incredibly anxious and like it was a huge mistake.

I was excited, but equally like: “No, this isn’t correct.”

Hot Take:

I think Rocky Balboa might be my favorite Rocky film with one of my favorite motivational speeches in films.

Another extra long Mega Man analysis coming up.

Mega Man 7 had so many mechanic shifts, I couldn't resist. Hopefully this will be ready sometime tomorrow!

Finished another Mega Man Analysis video, wrapping up the NES games with 6.

That’s nearly 13 hours of game design.

What is wrong with me.

I’m so sorry man. Wishing you the best, and I hope your personal ventures lead to more success.

Polygon too?

Another rough day for gaming outlets. It’s a shame, there’s so much talent flowing through these sites. I know the internet loves to dunk on “games media” - but it’s no different from your favorite YouTuber.

I wish everyone at Giant Bomb and Polygon the best.

My condolences to the entire Giant Bomb crew. You guys deserved better upper management than this and your content was, and always has been fantastic.

Okay Clair Obscur.
Your prologue has me hooked.

Are we talking about the new pickle pizza?

Nintendo has cancelled the Switch 2 in response to preorder frenzy.

"Your vulgar appetites betray you," said company president Furukawa, "That you are a people without grace. We will await a new era."

At press time, Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto and Redmond had vanished from the face of earth.

Shocked I managed to get it as I only remembered to start trying at 10PST.

👍🏼

…
Unless my order gets cancelled.

Had a fun time with Blue Prince, and very excited to dive into Clair Obscur and Split Fiction next.

Also replaying Mega Man 6 for my next MM video.

I’m still finishing Blue Prince, but isn’t it ultimately highly an RNG thing?
