Going back to my roots a bit this week, tight ~20 minute video on 5 indie games I think you should check out. Hope to always be able to do this kind of content periodically no matter what kind of other stuff I'm working on!

In the last 24 hours I rolled credits on 3 very different GOTY contenders:
-DOOM The Dark Ages
-Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
-Blue Prince
All pretty phenomenal experiences, I think KCD2 still takes it for me but MAN gaming is good in 2025.

I'm like 120 hours into my playthrough of KCD2, finally wrapping up the story. Thought I had seen all it had to offer and was ready to wrap up, then the game hit me out of nowhere with an OPTIONAL encounter I now think is very close to the pinnacle of storytelling in the medium.

Just wanted to remind people I got a video on the modern DOOM games out, it had a great first day but views slowed down a lot (prob because of Dark Ages review embargo going up). But if you're waiting for the wide release today and need to kill 2 hours, I gotchu!
I am a relative newcomer to DOOM, but it is impossible to deny that my channel might not exist today without DOOM 2016.
Today I am finally taking a trip back through the modern DOOM games, dissecting everything great and not so great, and how they tee us up for Dark Ages.

Gonna just post my daily thoughts/notes on Dark Ages as I play for those interested! Had a lot of fun in my first session. Whelmed by the mech and dragon segments, but everything else is top notch so far.

Interesting phenomenon where as soon as you criticize a game at all, people with 500+ hours will come out of the woodwork to tell you you're wrong. I actually do appreciate being corrected on things I get wrong, but at a point your experience of a game does become TOO niche IMO

Well chat, we had a good run but it's time to hang up the old trash can lid and devote my life to our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

On one hand: Never been so stoked on a video while editing.
On the other hand: It's consuming all my free time, don't even have time to stream. Definitely never doing another long video on a time crunch like this...

I'm trying not to overhype this video too much, but I'm genuinely just so excited to release it cause I think it's my best work ever. Here's a peek at the thumbnail, estimating this should be out a week from today.

Currently in the process of recording my longest commentary video ever, which is a critique of DOOM 2016 and Eternal. Didn't realize how much I would have to say after years of holding myself back from making DOOM content. Hopefully out before Dark Ages drops!

I feel strongly that backseating ruins both the streaming and viewing experience of streams and it has guided a lot of how I moderate my stream, but I've never talked concisely about WHY I feel this way...
Until now. Made a little video on it for my second channel, check it out youtu.be/VqvKsi0p_Ks

I am replaying DOOM Eternal at the moment and having a blast overall but I have a confession to make...
The Marauder is a bad enemy, it makes the game less fun to play every time it appears.
"Skill issue" "Just one-cycle combo it dood"
This is my truth and I'm sticking with it.

Youtube wants me to make 3 videos in 90 days to reinstate monetization on a channel that ALREADY had it and they revoked it from for no reason...
So I started off by making a video talking about how incompetent they are :)

Oh Youtube revoked monetization from a channel of mine that gets ~90k shorts views in a month because... I haven't uploaded a regular video (non-short) in 90 days?
Since when has this been a thing?

Butterfly app exclusive since I don't post here enough:
I'm currently working on a video script about the intersection of video games and urbanism, and I have no idea when it will be done, but it's the most excited I've been writing a video script in a long time.

Can I just say, it's consistently annoying that in 2025 opinions on new games are still more than ever muddied by peoples' console preferences.
Dawg, I'm a PC player I just wanna know if the game is good. I have no stake in which $500 plastic box is best.

Finally got around to Psycho Patrol R today, might be the fastest I've ever 180ed on a game. Spent first 90 minutes lost, confused, angry...
Turns out I was going the wrong way. It's actually peak.
Possibly one of the roughest intros I've ever had to a game though LOL

Wake up honey, another hour of Dumpster Man shilling a New blood game just dropped!
Gloomwood has come a long way since it's original early access release, I revisited the game this year and it was honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've had in a while.

Me: *Posts a video where I talk positively about DOOM 2016*
Weirdos online: "Yeah Doom Eternal DOES suck!!"
*sigh*...
This is precisely why I haven't made much DOOM content. I'm working on a big comprehensive nu-DOOM video now, but not looking forward to the ~discourse~

Was out with my wife & some of her friends yesterday. They know I stream/do content but maybe not specifics. This time she decided to try and explain what a "boomer shooter" is to VERY confused looks.
It was sweet but I'm gonna stick with "I play video games" from now on LOL

Replaying DOOM 2016 at the moment, and I think a lot of people honestly are due to do the same. A lot of what's great about this game was overshadowed in my mind by Eternal, but frankly 2016 got a lot right for a 'first draft' and even does some stuff better.

Very poetic that the word 'slop' (easily reproducible, formulaic, low quality) has itself become slop. I'm seeing 'slop' tacked onto literally anything people don't like. Call that slopslop.
