I've been uploading my full Silksong playthrough with my live commentary as I played the game blind daily.

I recorded in 1-2 hour segments until I got the final ending because I knew how much the game would mean to me.

There will be 31 episodes in total, enjoy!

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

I lost my house last night and unsubscribed for the first time in 2700 days, maybe you can scoop mine up! 🤣

I just finished The Hobbit trilogy for the first time (massive LOTR fan) after having my expectations lowered daily for 10 years and I’ve gotta say I think it’s actually pretty solid.

it is a decent Hollywood adaptation of an incredible book.

More accurate than I thought it would be too!

Congrats! Man I gotta get back in...

We really still doing this in 2025? Why are we boxing ourselves in and holding games to arbitrary standards.

"Gamplay, Graphics, Audio, Replayability"...these mean nothing.

Evaluate the game for what it is and what you believe it set out to do.

This is now completely uploaded. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

My favorite quote from The Hobbit

XanaGear @xanagear.com · 6d

What was the pitch meeting for this? "Alright everyone, get this...what if we make a game that nobody wants and will lose us a ton of money!"

SOLD!

You do not need to do that to finish the game, there is another way.

Would I be a bad person if I sent the link to the 500 USD Lego Rivendell to random extended family with the text "I'm dying, please"?

XanaGear @xanagear.com · 8d

Oh, it's the best show ever made.

XanaGear @xanagear.com · 8d

To keep it very short I’d say I liked it more than I thought I would!

My main criticisms:

Forced villain is bad.

Bombur has 0 moments beyond “haha fat”.

Needed more eagles.

I actually enjoyed the “bloated additions” like Saruman and Thorin’s backstory.

Fun time, desolation next!

Put the link in the comments, I'm not most people because I've already wishlisted it but I feel like most people will just skip with no link to click <3

Watched the LOTR extended trilogy for the second time in 6 months…I am now starting The Hobbit for the first time though, wish me luck.

Desperately need someone to draw Saruman from LOTR as the Japanese super hero サル Man (Monkey Man)

Lmao glad it’s not just me.

I love the part in Fellowship when Gandalf finds a Dwarven audio log that explains exactly how the Dwarves died right before a closed off combat arena begins.

Peak game design Peter, you really killed it.
