I'm Katie and I write about #IndieGames on YouTube.
I specialize in video essays about game themes, and discuss how games can make us more resilient to real world challenges.
I'm usually hanging out with catburger, a talking hamburger cat. We run a diner in space together. It's a whole thing.

Bob is a great sub, there's a lot of retrospective channels these days but he picks games I haven't seen covered anywhere else. He has an eye for detail and you feel his genuine love and appreciation for these bizarre titles come right through the screen.
I swear if this next video doesn't get me over the 5,000 subscriber line before the year is over then I'll have NO CHOICE but to wait until it happens later and celebrate at that moment instead.

Poison swamps are of course a classic, and cursed swamps have their place, but I kind of want swamps for all of the other random status ailments that pop up in console RPGs. I want to see the swamp where touching the water turns you into an atheist.

I picked up No Players Online both to support it after the DMCA thing and because I wanted to see how they expanded what was in the Haunted PS1 Demo Disk version, but no one told me it went all-in on the 90s OS/Internet as a framing device! I love this stuff.

Ludo Narrative Dissonance is dead, long live Ludo Narrative Resonance!
This is the whole ball game from my perspective as a person who recommends games.
This is the whole ball game from my perspective as a person who recommends games.
Good games use their story to support the gameplay and use their gameplay to support the story. It's an upward spiraling loop.
Also, most people aren't obsessed with abstract gameplay mechanics (and the few people who are obsessed are probably game devs). You need story to get people to care.

ok, literature/fiction analysis question I'm curious about
term definition: by "should" i mean "do you consider it notable in a neutral or bad way if this isn't done"
should serial episodic stories attempt to explain the improbability of all these interesting things happening to the same people?

I'm still a pretty unhappy person, but I can confirm this has helped a lot 👍👍
the secret to happiness (video game edition):
1. follow every creator involved with the kind of things you like
2. wishlist every game they put on your feed

so weird to me that people will follow brands but they won't follow the creators who made the brands. You'll be like "oh! yeah! that's by the lady who wrote [other thing they liked]" and they're like "I had no idea"
if you follow people you like, they will make more!

One of my most anticipated games has a demo out! Check it!
If you played Burden Street Station's new demo, please leave a review on Steam!!
If you haven't played it yet, it's a game about making infinite social mistakes while you investigate the mysterious disappearance of God.
