NEW VIDEO ESSAY!
are the Souls games only for the hardest of the hardcore?
or is that an illusion created by hyperbole and gatekeeping?
let's talk about Dark Souls and it's difficulty

finding out a game uses gen ai or a studio is "going all in" on it is helpful, because there is an avalanche of games coming out & it helps to trim the list
however then i see just as many games & studios talk about never using it and my list of cool games i wanna play doesn't get any shorter

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I still think it's really cool how we were practically the only aus outlet that didn't cover Hogwarts Legacy. Even the one that uses the trans flag colours in their logo did, extensively.
It's cool seeing all the snark and journalism ethics call outs today but I remember your silence 2y ago lol

This game's aesthetic and battle system should have been the inspiration for an entire generation of rpgs
Finally tracked down where my SCART input adapter went during the move, which means Aura can resume her Panzer Dragoon Saga playthrough.

Panzer Dragoon Saga feels like a piece of gaming folklore because of low sales combined with how highly people who have played it speak about it
so i sat myself down to play it almost 3 decades after it launched, and by the time i was done i had a bunch to say

it's been an honour to share and build my dreams through games, sadly the machine that got me to 2025 is now unsuitable for modern games. i'm stuck at a standstill 🙁
so i'm fundraising for a new PC to carry on to the future - we have milestones to keep having fun along the way!

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it
it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers
they just profited from us

Wish I could've gotten more views on my latest video, 'cos I worked hard and I'm extremely happy with it, I think the script was the best I've written so far, but it's just not getting seen as much compared to my previous video, which is a little disappointing.
