New video on the channel!

I beat one of the hardest games ever. My 1CC run of ESP Ra De with commentary.

Enjoy: youtu.be/NGD9L1mo4gs
I won’t lie.

All the HBomb-Matthew-Markiplie Youtubers blend together in my mind. I don’t keep up with that side of the internet. So I just assume they’ve all been cancelled for something.

Posting a lot either means you’re unemployed or your job is boring. No in-between.

it is very funny how i've been accused of being "bad at emulating" and when i asked them to explain to me how to enable integer scaling in retroarch, they didn't have an answer 😂

you can only have this perception of emulation if you're straight-up not seeing all the shit inherently wrong with it

The problem with talking about emulation online is that there’s two sides that get lumped into the same group:

- The people who say it’s hard because they’re lazy

- And the people who say it’s hard because they care about more obscure games, input lag, accuracy, shader compilation stutter, etc

Real talk. Forget how you feel about the album itself

The people trying to find a problem with J. Cole’s rollout/marketing tour have too much darkness in their hearts. The community engagement is wholesome as hell.

I’m not against exclusives. But I am definitely apathetic to the idea of them. If every game was on every platform I wouldn’t care

My thing is though, that the people who DO care about them are insanely inconsistent about it lol

Inoue explained perfectly why visual presentation and world building is important for me when it comes to shmup games

I realize how human I am when I practice the 4th and 5th stage of a bullet hell game a million times..

Then I still feel my heart rate go up when l do it in an actual run lol

Hold on. Why my best friend just call me now and ask if I know anything about transitioning to Linux

He is not even a PC gamer, he just be browsing and checking emails. This is getting crazy.
Had a convo with an old Lead IT guy at work about how much he hates Windows and AI

I work in a very rural area so this actually just gave me so much hope lol

Today I found out that people don’t like Retroarch. Even the “emulation takes 5 seconds” people

Now I’m confused because I LOVE Retroarch lol

I be having more “elitist” taste than some elitists and I still don’t like them

It’s just the principle lol

I've gotten so many comments on the Rival Schools vid upset that I said the student+teacher relationships were weird. Got called 'GuileWokeQuote' & that i'm moralizing. "It's just pixels". Lighten up man, I didn't condem the game & I made an obvious observation & some jokes ai caramba lol

Feel bad for people that follow gaming news too closely and end up being really sad when rumors aren't true

You almost get the vibe "i don't like these games anymore cause there's no news about it" lol

sometimes it feels like a lot more things that came out post-2010 become truly “lost media” faster than 90s and 2000s stuff did

I gotta say. Suda51 is constantly proving that there is still so much left to explore when it comes to art direction in video games

Playing Romeo is a Dead Man so far feels like my eyes have gotten a palate cleanse

a lot of people get stuck in this self important idea that they have to be negative and miserable "for the sake" of the things they love, it's very adjacent to meeting positivity with "demand better"
This is such a good point by Maximillian

Many creators CAN tell the difference between pure hate and actual criticism. Especially if they’ve been doing it for a while.

Some of you are literally just yelling into the void under the guise of “critique”

New vid covering Rival Schools' JP ps1 port exclusive school sim mode, that lets you romance the cast. I think it's notable cuz it was Capcom tapping into a casual fandom market for fighting games, and for also letting you date the same sex!... and adults... Enjoy!

I think I could make a video game actually

I don’t think it would be easy for me at all. I just mean I think I could do it lol.
