I'll get around to making a proper card eventually:
- Best way to contact me for press purposes is Discord (DMs are open to anyone on my server, don't need to send a friend request)
- Second Best is Email (for now, find it on the YT channel)
- third best is DM's here.

Why I don't help out new youtubers as much anymore? Gen-ai fatigue.
If you're not willing to put in the effort for your content, why should I put in the effort to watch/critique it? Hell, if you're not willing to put in the effort to write your own post asking for help? why should I?

Saying that you did something, with evidence of that something, is not a "personal attack" - it's accountability.

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Even in my lifetime I've sadly seen migration turn much more from a mixing and moving of cultures to essentially a job interview.
It's sadly much easier to migrate as a CEO with a golden parachute than it is as someone simply trying to move to give their family a better chance at a fulfilling life.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

I'll likely never play/watch/etc horses, but we should probably be blaming payment processors, not storefronts, for this one too folks.

With all the youtube/twitch recaps going around, I just want to say thanks for the continued support of the gaming content - it's appreciated more than you can realize.
You all have over 9000 DAYS worth of watchtime on the gaming channels in 2025... and really do help make tough times better.

You'd think blocking someone would be enough for them to get the hint... but nope - just saw spam in inboxes across multiple platforms because I dared to point out a flaw in a mediocre remaster of a game lol

Saw this posted elsewhere, and have to say: If you're following people in an attempt to get reciprocal support - don't.
I swear, some people need to be sat down to have the 'friend zone' discussion - if you're being friendly in an attempt to get 'something more' - then you're not being a friend.

It is absolutely fine to love a game, and even gush about it, BUT for the love of god, don't make a game your entire identity. Every game has flaws, and if you're going to go off the handle and attack, try to dox, etc. someone because they acknowledge these flaws - you have a bloody problem

Revoking a press key in general is weird behaviour (hinders follow-up/secondary/etc. coverage - and can often interrupt other content the creator is making because it's a fecking popup). Revoking it several days before the game's release is even weirder behaviour.

No - "youtube money" isn't massive for most creators - just because the outliers are making millions, your average medium, and even medium-large creators can very easily have multiple videos or even series that return less than minimum wage. ESPECIALLY when we take the time to cover pet projects.

I wish there were a few more survey rounds so the map would get bigger faster, but otherwise Repel the Rifts is a really solid roguelite TD, and I look forward to trying out the other classes in the full version - if you try it out, this is an 'upgrade focused' TD (vs Tower Spam)

My Pet Peeve in youtuber communities?
Dozens of Posts per day: "Why is my video not getting pushed!?"
Go to look: I don't know Ted, it could be all the shitty ai videos and thumbnails, and the fact that you have 300 emoji-bot comments on every one of them - looks like your viewbot got blocked.

Looking forward to this one - I loved the demo, definitely check it out if you like tactical rpgs.
And yes, I do hope to be streaming it - though I'll have to wait until I get paid the week after.

It may just be the demo, but I am in love with the casting system in Moonsigil Atlas - instead of mana, it's basically focused on comboing shapes into a casting circle (the moon). I hope they continue to lean into this spell system in the full release.
You can find the demo on steam:

Faith in Despair is being marketed wrong - I was told "Dark Souls of Deckbuilders" - when the more apt description should be: Deckbuilder with a socket System (FF7/Path of Exile style). I literally played for 5+ hours my first time, and would do more, but needed sleep lol...

I was a huge fan of Wall World 1 (even preferring it over Dome Keeper) - Wall World 2 feels like more of the same, but MORE. Which I think is a good thing - something about having my 'dome' be mobile, and an evolving story in a roguelite setting. The multiple zones help a TON too.

While there are some limitations compared to the original, as well as a handful of bugs (the original is buggy on modern systems too) - the Sacred 2 Remaster is, "fine". Much like the Fate remaster I would say "worth getting if you struggle to run the original"
