Oh here’s the actual link to my story critique of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in case anyone actually reads my skeets (is that what we call them?): youtu.be/gDIFYpc252g
One month after Silksong's release and I've posted four videos on it on my channel:
First video on Silksong's early-game difficulty: 3.5k views
Second video on Bilewater: 52k views (!)
Third video on enemy variety: 34k views
Fourth video I just posted & am curious to see if it breaks 10k:

Damn Silksong vid broke 30k views on a channel that had 500 subs when this was first posted. Wish I had the time to capitalise on this with another video or two before I hit TGS

Such a shame that a lot of my friends and colleagues are still active over on X. I never had a big following myself but I really can’t stomach getting forced Musky notifications

100 subs, 16k views, and a lot of comments and climbing from this vid.
2/3 of my best videos are about Silksong. Maybe I should send Team Cherry a gift basket

Damn spoke too soon. Already past 1k views, making its first 6 hour growth 10x faster than the next fastest video
Been finding a little time here & there from all my video work at Gamer Guides to make short opinion pieces on the games I'm playing; this one is showing real promosing numbers early but I don't think it'll eclipse my personal record of 13k views and ~600 likes

On the other hand, one of my Silksong videos at Gamer Guides has hit ~70k. 17 min MGS Delta guide I slaved over hit 108k. Record is still a Clair Obscur guide at 140k views
Trying to up my thumbnail game, too. But my brother got all the visually artistic talent in the family

I reviewed Dragon Quest 3 HD2D on PS5 and later got it for the Switch because I love portable Dragon Questing but it was rough. Happy to see the free Switch 2 update almost brings it on par with the PS5 version and definitely getting 1 & 2 on Switch 2
(unless someone pays me to play em on PS5)

NAILED it.
My wife is in Vogue shitting on your AI-generated "art" 💜 www.vogue.com/article/matt...
![Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:obalt57atoxc2zooldtuur75/bafkreifnjtvupzmkqg7cggiv2z5nckzpp5yd2sm7h5gg2kq3plbwv2btuy@jpeg)
