Conspiracy Theorists will be like, "yeah all sports gambling is fixed and all the games are fixed and boxing is fixed. The people who control it use it to profit. Anyway, check out this website where you can gamble on real-life events. This will have zero consequences on our future."

Oh, so almost all my dreams are sequential events of, like, a dream version of me. Like a second life I only live in my dreams. Obviously not LITERALLY, but there's recurring characters, continuity, the whole gamut. I had a dream that I could jump back in time once, and now I can do that forever.
You’re just gonna stealth drop that you have lucid dreaming super powers and not tell the story of how you discovered that?

(Also what a hilarious dream)

I had a dream that I went to get huge face work done, and it made me look like a different person and I hated it, so I used my power to fall asleep and return to a point in time before I did it (I can do this in all my dreams.) And it's because friends and I talked about Nagoshi's veneers yesterday.

But I adore it, which is why I made a video on it a long time ago that I very much agree with while playing through it again so many years later. I think it may be fun to revisit the series with some videos on 2 and 3- and maybe go into Wo Long and Stranger of Paradise too.

Nioh is very "Heaven or Hell" in really good ways, where encounters last seconds, and either you kill the thing or don't. However, due to that, sometimes you get some encounters that are very obviously just bad. Where success doesn't give me satisfaction; it further reinforces my disdain.

Backloggd and Letterboxd have the right idea of letting you click on usernames and seeing what their favorites are. I wish I could do that on YouTube when I get weirdos in the comments. Like I wish I could click on a guy explaining why abortion is evil, and see that he has a pregnancy kink.

PSA From A Certified Gamer: If you have a character creator in your game, ALWAYS have the player design the physical features of that character, BEFORE any clothing options. ESPECIALLY when you've got hats as options. If I pick clothes and THEN features, I ALWAYS have to go back to readjust clothes.

Trying to shift my perspective on the RGG Studio stuff from being a smug little asshole to a more academic/retrospective one- though when new stuff surfaces I will definitely be there. I keep thinking back on the remasters of 3, 4, and 5. 🧵

Just uploaded my entire Dragon Quest 2 HD-2D REMAKE playthrough to the VOD Channel. (@GCVodquez) I absolutely adored this game, though fair warning for VOD watchers: Something about this game brought out the public speaker in me. I go off about a lot of stuff.

This is easily one of the best uses of your fake player NPCs.

Weighing in on days old discourse, but sometimes you just gotta think about things. It's easy to be cynical, it's much harder to be sincere and passionate with the way social media has become.

Criticism can come from a place of love. It means that you truly care about something to see and acknowledge it's flaws. Obviously, this is not every reviewer, nor will it ever be. But criticism doesn't always come from a place of cynicism. And it rarely ever should.

I think when the discussion of reviews re: fans of the series shouldn't review x game, it varies. I love the Baldur's Gate series and my review is arguably the least positive ENG review. My RGG reviews became increasingly critical of the series message and themes. This is bc of my love for it.

I met Khary Payton, Drebins’ voice actor at a con and someone had asked about how it was working on MGS4, if there was any standout moments to him he remembered.

He then began to describe being given Laughing Octopus’s backstory and genuinely thought he was being pranked.
With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

I think going forward, a method that’s working pretty well is we’re going to have to start demanding more WIP/recordings of artists doing their process.

A number of AI using ones have already been caught fucking up or making excuses to get out of doing them.
I finally saw someone break down the art of that AI pixel artist that was going around and that shit still gets me anxious like way WAY too much evidence you see can be chalked up to human error or general stupidity and people get far too confident pointing them out

Every time I get back into this game, and find myself enjoying it, there's always something annoying like this. If you couldn't be bothered remaking that island's present gimmick at least give me a cutscene. Any new, somber feeling from the lack of payoff feels unintentional. It's so weird.
