I've wanted to make a video on Rhythm Heaven since I streamed it a few years ago, and now that Groove is finally out (like a week ago), I figured I should finally put out a video now that it's kinda relevant

Every time I open social media these days my timeline is full of everyone talking about how bad this one guy I've never heard of before is and how they've always hated him for it and I just think that's kinda weird???
Like I get I'm not that in tune with discourse or politics, but I can't imagine that everyone posting about these people were intimately familiar with them BEFORE everyone else started posting about them too???
the "you can't avoid AI, it's in all software now" argument might be true for infrastructure, where we have limited agency over the platforms and systems that make up our society, but is hilariously untrue for video games, a completely optional and easily ignored part of all of our lives
Our collab piece for the Bravely Default sketch compilation. Initially I and garmmy picked our favorite characters + favorite jobs to have them dressed up with. It's a lot of fun revisiting the old concept arts from the old official guidebook🤭

You can pay for this with a credit card, but don't dare think of commissioning art of consenting adults having fun sexually, credit card companies (and PayPal) will de-bank you.
Our systems are so screwed up. :/
GTA 6 has received a rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of "decapitation," the ability for players to snort cocaine at any time, "scenes of sexual fetishes," and much more.
finally started higurashi and i didn't realise that the plot starts because the protagonist used the wrong personality with the wrong friend group
im amazed I haven't seen more people talk about that
legitimately i think seeing him finally show up in a trailer is the most excited ive been for a piece of media since the fate remaster got announced lmao

Lots to do in Terraria today, gotta explore the dungeon, redecorate my home base, move some NPCs around and maybe even fight the Goblin Army if they decide to show up
Just watched Lady Bird for the first time and I'm realising I don't think I've seen a single Timothée Chalamet performance where he hasn't seemed stoned out of his fucking mind
Something a little less talked about with Wii U failure is how iterative and soon the major games were
Mario Wii - Mario U = 3 years
3D Land - 3D World = 2 years
Mario Kart 7 - Mario Kart 8 = 3 years
DK Returns - Tropical Freeze = 4 years
Most normal people were like "I already played this game"

Switching things up from normal, today I'm gonna be curating my younger brother's Steam wishlist and removing games that I think he wouldn't like
Oren Uziel says ‘SPIDER-NOIR’ Season 2 would’ve seen Ben Reilly in a new location.
“There are so many L.A. noirs... European noirs we could have dove into... You’re starting in 1933... It’s heading toward... World War II. There’s a lot of storytelling that could have happened there.”

ngl i kinda wish i made the most of what the internet was like 7 years ago, cuz right now it feels like everything sucks and there either a lot more competition or a lot more toxicity surrounding the cool things i wanna be able to do
As others have pointed out, "ai assisted translation" is just an excuse to underpay translators who are just going to have to rewrite most of the ai generated slop anyways
2003: Everyone's mad because the new Zelda game doesn't look like the Spaceworld tech demo

when video game art direction and graphics discussion up i get the sense i got low standards bc im pretty much delighted by nearly everything
i particularly like it when it doesnt quite line up with my own personal preferences. its like, "oh! so this is what you wanted to show me!" and its neat
ootr looks good but young link looks really shiny and the lighting looks a little flat in places and that makes me sad :(
Other than that though, it looks a lot better than I thought it would, the only thing that limits my enthusiasm is that it's a game I'm already very familiar with
Probably not gonna play it at launch since I don't own a Switch 2, but it'll at least be fun to go through a few years from now once everyone has calmed down about it lmao
Also I hope to god that they give you extra item slots as the game goes on, because if you have to spend the whole game cycling through your entire inventory like in TotK, that's going to be awful

I really love the new character models, I was kind of expecting them all to look kinda weird, but they've given even the most insignificant of NPCs a lot of personality, and I think that's neat
