NEW VIDEO - Donkey Kong Bananza is the best video game of 2025 and I can't stop thinking about it. Listen to me talk about it for nearly 57 minutes. Video link is...right here! ๐ youtu.be/f1AIn274KCI?... ๐
Wrapped this all up and things look beautiful. I will say that Playnite seems to prioritize the "Big Picture" experience most of all. The best themes I've seen are stylized around the TV, but I still have my desktop theme looking super clean and sharp. I'm pretty blown away at how this turned out.
I've been tinkering with the application Playnite to keep track of all of my PC games across various clients, and holy crap, is it satisfying seeing all my games organized together with unique box art, metadata, and even playtime. Dammit, I love curating my video game library.

I haven't added it myself yet, but I'm pretty sure there's a plug-in designed for including How Long to Beat information. Playnite is open source, so the community has been making plenty of themes and enhancements to the base application. It's pretty incredible.

After going so far off the creative rails with their last couple of records (and imploding after Reba left to play guitar for Marilyn Manson), it's easy to forget how good this album was. Code Orange really was a powerhouse and it's a shame they never reached this level again. #NowPlaying

New video script is going very well, but I'm torn. I have a reasonably sound thesis, but I'm tempted to go right for the jugular and make the most clickbait-iest title I've ever composed. Not sure what to do.

In 2026 wizzy is looking for video editing work!
I can do video essays, shorts, narration, podcasts, audio mixing, talking head video and more. While most of my experience is in gaming I'm open to anything. My style is detail oriented to let the voice of a piece sing without distraction.

Don't let Krafton off the hook either, my dude. They suck just as much.

I have one of those models myself and it works quite well. Most of the heavy lifting in cleaning up audio quality can be done in post-production, so I'd recommend diving into audio editing tutorials on Youtube. You'd be surprised at how much can be improved without having to buy a whole new device.

There's something therapeutic about seeing famous game developers, instead of talking about game development or the industry, just talking about saunas and drinking alcohol. www.youtube.com/watch?v=70tC...

I like to imagine that Yoko Taro is using his Nier android magic to digitally broadcast the face-covering image into our minds, all Ghost in the Shell "Laughing Man" style.

It's the same vibe as Dark Souls, a game that's become formative and innovative for many people, one that I had never experienced until I made that video. I'm not necessarily going to make videos on these older games, though there's one in particular that I'm working through right now. Stay tuned.

I'm going to make an effort to play fewer "new" games in 2026. It's less about "muh backlog" and more because there are a lot of very groundbreaking games released over the decades, the kinds of creative statements that have shaped the medium. I want to experience why those games are so legendary.

2025 was not a good year... a deep creative rut, a ton of anxiety limiting social interaction, and most importantly, the passing of my mother. Even with so many struggles still lingering, I'm really hoping 2026 moves in a stronger, better direction. Happy New Year, everyone. Let's kick ass in '26.
