Hi! I'm Puddle, I like video games and talking about how they make me feel.
This is the video I'm proudest of atm:
youtu.be/38aPsV7bv_o?...
In it I explore imaginary spaces and how they can have a tangible effect on our lives, whether we like it or not.
Thank you so much for stopping by! ^-^

Reviewers and commenters call Terra Nil “peaceful” and “hopeful.“ Nothing could be farther from how I feel.
Hope y’all enjoy this casual little video about hope(??) in the apocalypse.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I've complained a lot about how I'm constantly being sent AI generated slopware games to my various inboxes, and I got asked a couple of times why I don't "name and shame" these devs?

New vid. I look back at the last 30 years of playing Resident Evil games & attempt to rank every first encounter. All of them. Along the way, I remember what it was like playing each game. Where I was. Who I was with. I hope you have a moment to remember with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QeB...

NEW VIDEO! The Shield is one of the greatest shows ever made... but did you know that it has a PS2 game? That said game is considered to be one of the worst ever?
Well, I played it. It's awful. It's also wildly ambitious in ways I didn't expect. Find out why in this analysis—enjoy!

not to overload y'all but I just launched a project on Nebula where I do 1-minute reviews of adventure games every week for a year in order to make a 50-game tier list, using a very complex and extremely accurate rating system I came up with myself
