I voted Mass Effect! Your Wrex vid is still one of my fave ME video essays.

u ever think about how "from soft" games are "to hard" 🤔

I'm in a VIDEO ESSAY FANCAM by one of the GOATs in the space, lmao

Wild!!!

D'aww! You are too kind, friend.

making it my duty to glaze up this community while I wait for the dryer cycle to finish 🌞🙌

This is easily Aaraf's best work yet. Whether you like anachronistic fiction, political commentary, or the strange limbo between them where Assassin's Creed III sits, definitely give this video a watch. Loved the whole production.

been on youtube long enough to know to ALWAYS click on any AC3 video essay that blesses your timeline.

This is such a cool idea, expertly executed by @solidarf.bsky.social 🔥

🎬 New Video! ✨

I studied for my US citizenship test with Assassin's Creed 3. This is maybe my dumbest premise. Enjoy 🦅

"what about devs"

devs:

can't write a gameFAQs article without a good table of contents

Wrote a little tribute to GameFAQs, the site that taught me how to write (and read) about games.

One of my favorite pieces I've gotten to do!

why support palette swap?

-we hate generative AI and it will never have a place on our site
-no outside investors/interests, only people who want to make cool shit
-I want to give our contributors more money!

If liquid content > solid content, it only counts as a meal at breakfast

Bump for the newest video! Seems to be doing well, which is very gratifying. :)

YouTube video by SolidArf What I Learned Photographing NPCs in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

🗡️🔥 New video! ❄️⚡

I did a deep dive into the NPCs of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: their designs, weird quirks, interior lives, etc.

And of course the big question: Do they add anything to the game's themes?

Chants of Sennaar?!! Woohoo!

Also: Your "An Inspector Calls" essay is beautiful. Powerful, poignant, and deeply affirming. Appreciate you sharing it.

Thank you so much for the shout out (and especially for the Concrete Genie vid)! This is so very kind.

Congrats to you both!!! 👏

critics can and should fiercely disagree with each other, but i generally think it's misguided when one critic starts talking about another as if they're "objectively" wrong. your own critiques, after all, are just your own fiercely held, fiercely argued opinions.

A timely bump: I made a video about how Breath of the Wild feels on the verge between console generations!

Tarkin from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, who was made to look like the late Peter Cushing using CGI

The weirdest thing about rewatching Rogue One might be that I remembered CGI Tarkin looking a lot... more convincing in 2016?

Thank you so much!

Bump for the newest video!

YouTube video by josh (with parentheses) We've forgotten how to forget.

Now live: we’ve forgotten how to forget. Let the map from A Goofy Movie remind you how to let it all go. Stops at Steven Johnson, the West Wing, the ethics of cartography, and at least seven different Goofy family trees.

An open letter to the weird-ass map from A Goofy Movie.

🐲🗡 New Video! 🛡🧝🏽

I made a little (kinda) tribute to Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom, and how their legacies are intertwined with their hardware’s.

How do we think about that as we transition to the Switch 2?

Beverly! No!!!
