the discourse about silksong's difficulty makes me feel tired, so i decided to make a video ranking my favorite songs on the soundtrack instead :)

i know the gaming discourse sniper sights have been trained squarely on nintendo for the past few months but man, what i wouldn't give for a LITTLE consistency

very interesting to see people freak out at mario kart for being priced at $80 but then laud sonic crossworlds and call it the "mario kart killer" despite a $70 base price tag with a $20 digital deluxe season pass

i'm looking at the notation for "Silksong into Nightreign Hard Mode into Hades 2 full release (probably) into Unbeatable into 5 other indie games" and i think that's a zero-to-death combo

At first, I thought Nightreign was a bad roguelike with little replayability... but then I played it for over 100 hours and made an entire video about it. Whoops!

youtube search has been garbage for years now, it'll show you a handful of results for what you want (maybe) and then go full retention mode by trying to get you to forget about your search with suggested videos, youtube shorts, "people also searched" and videos you've already watched

i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

maybe relying on the "generosity" of a company to give you enough free slot machine credits to play a video game is Fundamentally Bad Game Design

persona 5 phantom x update: i was getting a bunch of comments saying the game is extremely "f2p friendly" and you don't have to spend, but it has now dropped to mixed reviews on steam because the devs aren't giving everyone as many free gems as they did on the chinese server. uhhhhh lmao

it has been received so poorly that the director of P5X went on twitter and called the guy that wrote that villain a palace ruler and then promised everyone that the story gets better. insane level of bad writing to warrant a response like that
