Just to be clear: Any reply you ever get from me on YouTube is 100% real and hand-typed by me. Even the short, pithy ones. I will never EVER use this "feature" and, in my opinion, no YouTuber who gives the slightest shit about their audience should.
Does YouTube not trust us to respond to comments or something? No one asked for auto generated responses. Bold to assume I would use an lovey dovey emoji.

The narrator in Space Quest IV hitting you with this casual fuck-you right off the bat before the game has even begun:
"These incredibly intriguing questions will quickly be forgotten with barely an electron stirred in that well-armored orb atop your shoulders."

Any philosophy majors in the house? My last video on walking simulators seem to have sparked a lot of discussion about what constitutes a "game" on a fundamental level and I feel my own understanding on the subject is severely lacking.

No one asked for this, but here are three ambient tracks for your nightly walk (or something). Two of the tracks were used in my recent video essay on walking simulators; the last one is one I dug up from the archives.
Music for Walking | Space Quest Historian
Music for Walking by Space Quest Historian, released 21 December 2025
1. The Journey is the Destination
2. The Journey is the Discovery
3. The Journey is the Desolation
A few ambient tracks for a quiet walk. Tracks 1 and 3 were used in my video essay about walking simulators (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ8lKd02tlA). Track 2 was created for an unfinished remake of the game Earthrise and included because I felt just having 2 tracks would be kind of a short walk.

It's time to rethink the term "computer game"
Why are we so scared to say that games can be more than games? Is it fair to call walking simulators and other narrative-driven experiences "games"? And why do developers feel the need to shove "gameplay" into their products where it doesn't really belong? Who knows. I think it's worth considering,

1. Escape The Fate
2. Round One
3. Destroyer
4. City Lights
5. Hunter Of Lost Souls
6. She Has A Gun
7. Defender

I am the messenger, I am Meteor.
