Sort of a random thought: I don't know that enough people realize how much pressure mounts on a creator when you're expected to produce banger after banger.
I'll tell y'all straight up that one of the reasons a Xenoblade 3 video has taken so long to make is that on some level: it scares me.

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

Examining how the Rune Factory series has evolved and what makes each title both thematically and mechanically stand out has been life changing.
I'm so glad I'm not the only soul thinking RF1 don't feel or play like Rune Factory.

New video's done just working on meta data and checking for visual glitches (as so far there's one I found and can't fix). New year's resolution is to make more videos, as I defo put it by the wayside for a while.

Unknown and ridiculous amount of prework on this script, but finalizing it only took seven hours today and it ain't even that long.

Dark Cloud is a cool cult classic I've misunderstood for the longest time. Now I've finally gotten a chance to play through it and can appreciate just how ambitious it was.

So first things first, hey, I'm CouchMoba. I do video essays on video games and when I'm not doing casual analysis I'm sobbing my eyes out. Glad to see ya and glad to meet ya!
Also, I guess this means I'm back from break; all the added stress is mostly over, so time to viddy again.
