I kinda wish they had altered the music a little more, given it more orchestra flair? As it stood they relied on the piano synth guy a LOT. I get that we're adapting mostly pixel music here and you don't want to betray the original sound but still

The crowd was very into it. Not just cheering when most songs start and end, also cheering at certain parts of the shown game. Someone shouted "LET'S GO LESBIANS" when Aphys and Undyne's date was shown I could have been annoyed at this, but honestly it was nice feeling the enthusiasm with everyone

It was really fun just people watching. The demographic was a lot of mid-elder millennials but also some kids and older folks. LOTS of cosplayers. Shout out to that one really high effort Mettaton, I love you Also more than one Homestuck troll in the big '26?!?

The whole thing had a screen showing parts of the game appropriate to the song being played, which is fun. I would have personally synced certain parts of it with a little more intent but I'm weird like that

The Xenonauts 2 video is currently in the editing studio. I'm gonna be out not doing much of anything next week and I had hoped to get it done before then, but it sadly has not been so. So instead I recorded a little something I've been meaning to do for a while, bound for the second channel tonight

Thinking about this recently upon finding out I work with a guy that only calls them "pings" no matter how confused people get

guy who pronounces ".png" as "dot pinge"

I can confidently say that multiple hours of doomscrolling about this Jacob Geller business has me feeling fucking awful! I am giving myself permission to stop and you can do the same

Support victims, speak up against abusers (including and especially if you aren't the victim), and remember that giving yourself a break from exposure to terrible things is healthy, not hiding

Legend of Korra book 2 get IMO too much hate for the Raava/Vaatu business and cutting off past avatars thing and not nearly enough hate for the frankly unforgivable character assassination of its own cast

Sorry I've been rewatching the whole series and the drop from "flawed but good ideas" in book 2 to "a few good ideas floating around the worst plot of all time" is staggering. I'm a Korra defender but mostly for books 3 and 4.

Why does Korra trust Unalaq far past what is reasonable? Why when Korra has legitimate grievances her stage directions are "irrational bitch"? Why does Bolin sexually assault his costar? Why does Lin ignore extremely pertinent details on a case? Why does Mako exist?

"It's a ten minute video, you don't need the entire playthrough, turn the recorder on and off to save hard drive space" <- This is the devil talking. Don't listen.

Death upon anyone who has ever worked on a liberty mutual ad. Stop spamming my feed you are not funny you are not cute you are a commercial you are my enemy

Sorry, uh, concentration camps upon anyone who has ever worked on a liberty mutual ad. This is my civilly expressed political opinion

This post is unavailable.

Is it reasonable or cowardly to cut the word "particularly" from a video because I tend to stumble over it with the speaking cadence I use while recording

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Been playing the hell out of the Tyr playtest instead of working on the video and I gotta say, normally when a game has absolutely zero story context and only one game mode that core gameplay better be tight as fuck, and it kind of is

Or maybe it just comes down to firing a cannon and hitting an enemy tank has just the right amount of oomph. Closest feel analog is Apex Legends, where enemies feel tough but you also feel like you're blasting huge chunks off of them with each shot

Best way I could describe way is it's kind of fast and slow? It's somewhere between Warthunder, Counter Strike, and an arena shooter. Fights can feel like prolonged sniper duels but also rounds last like ten minutes

On one hand TTK is slow, the biggest gun in the game versus the lightest tank does maybe 60% but heavy guns have reloads in excess of 10 seconds On the other hand go into the open at the wrong time and you get hammered by multiple enemies you can't see and you die pretty quickly

I'm in the stage where I have a google doc full of comments like "boring section" and once I resolve all of them it's time to record then it's into the editing hole

What the fuck is going on with the avatar franchise dawg All the effort in this revival and it's gonna end with the good parts still just being 1.75 shows, and maybe now a fighting game (once they finish it)

I've never before played a puzzle game where I have to set it down after 1-2 puzzles because smoke is coming out of my ears. Not even Zachtronics games could do this to me. The principles are consistent but it's effectively six portals, the mental load is substantial.

Man I picked a great time for a flare up of an issue that makes it painful to speak for extended periods huh

If I don't get this video out by the end of July you're legally allowed to put grenades in all of my equipment slots and send me into the UFO first
