Seriously, how do you fuck up tall grass stealth like that?

thinking of doing a 'Revisiting' series to return to games i already reviewed and see if i can reappraise them

helps that the newest version of Cemu doesn't require any external applications that mimic downloading from the Nintendo eShop

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Not Feeling It

Not so much a takedown of the game itself, but an appraisal of the trajectory of video game remakes in the wake of RE2 (2019) onwards

Beat Metal Gear 2 for the first time

Bit harder to get into from MG1 bc I had to relearn how sightlines worked, but I can see the blueprint that led to MGS1

Again, supports my theory that Kojima's design is borne from Adventure Game Logic (looking at you, Owl)

Beat Metal Gear Solid 2 again after so many years

It's a cliche, but Kojima's prescience about the digital age will forever be his greatest quality as a writer

The throughline from this to the modern Metal Gears and even Death Stranding is a straight shot

Beat Metal Gear for the first time

Hit a wall at some point and consulted a walkthrough

Worth playing to see the early gestation of Kojima's ideas, but supports my theory that his immersive design is rooted in Adventure Game Logic instead of an im-sim background

Beat Snatcher for the first time

Out of everything, I'm surprised at how "short" it is

Fallout 4 owes Kojima money

Going through the Mightreya playtest

No tutorial yet, but I'm getting the hang of combat and how meters factor in damage

I see where WZN's come from the Overclock system in Assault Spy and mixed in some Bayo-isms

Went back to the Aeromachina demo to see if I could find a better method

You don't have to keep the afterburner revved up if you're not gonna use it - just rev it preemptively when you know you need the burst

Doublejumping after every bunny hop maintains speed and handles turns better

Trying Out: Mechanical Fury (Demo)

Got early access to a demo that just dropped today and put my thoughts out.

Tried the SSR Wives' demo

in a genre that's got as much overexposure as soulslikes, it manages to stand out from other indie survivor horror games with strong presentation and music
June 18, 2025 at 6:56 AM
Tried the Aeromachina demo

Friend told me that once you get all the upgrades, you can really blaze past everything with the shmoovement, and it's almost like bunnyhopping in how you need to time your jumps to preserve your momentum

Downside is the Afterburner's constant noise

Gonna have to make a self-imposed embargo on covering Cruelty Squad-likes if looking at them for too long gives me a migraine

i would love to know why i always get only 1 dislike on all of my videos

is there someone cockwatching my channel or are those each different people disliking my vids?

Watched Ballerina

+ extremely funny to couch it between Ch 3 and Ch 4
+ respect for not playing up [REDACTED]'s cameo (No not Him)
+ the beam struggle is, in fact, hype and aura
- i think it reveals too much of the world
- villain should have been fleshed out more

finished the script and audio for the next vid

now i can finally be rid of this game from my hard drive

Beat Half Life 2 again for the b-roll

Forgot a lot of the back half of the game and had to redo several sections

Cool buildup but I really dislike the Strider setpieced
