If 20 years on social media has taught me anything, it's that posting is the first step towards disappointment, but I appreciate everyone who has followed, subscribed or checked out my videos, and I look forward to finding new people who love video games.

Well I appreciate that, but as you know from your own videos, it's not enough to just be good looking, funny, topical, well edited and have a good thumbnail and clean audio with a nice voice.

You've also gotta... worship Satan or something. I dunno, I'm not good at Youtube.

Nice, congratulations!

It's really the thing that pushes me through the "this video is 10/10 in your analytics" after every single release. I just tell myself "If you build it, the right people will come.... eventually."

Everyone's all like "Silent Hill f this" and "Silent Hill f that", but I'm like for f's sake I already made an f'ing Silent Hill video and it f'd me up real good so if everyone would just chill the f out and watch that so I can feel f'ing validated for one f'ing second that'd be great thanks.

Said this almost verbatim to my wife earlier.

Not to always go back to it, but this is what I don't understand at all about the whole "Gen AI" stuff.

Even if a computer could make a thing better than I could make the thing, the point was never just for the thing to exist.

I want to make the thing, and I want it to be a thing that I made.

Please nobody watch my Silksong video. The comparison to Bloodborne is apt and that embarrasses me

Yeah, it was trying really hard to be a Guardians of the Galaxy scene, but half of those people looked like some nerds. I think I saw one guy attack him with a clipboard.

Imagine if the scale was still a little off, and you had to go back for a little more.

KalTheSkeleton @kaltheskeleton.bsky.social · 22d

It's cool, but I wish it could mix title and thumb options automatically and give me the results of all possible combinations.

As is it's hard to tell which part is working well.

NEW VIDEO! The world of Mafia: The Old Country is beautiful, but it does not breathe. It is a postcard. It isn't to be conquered—it's barely to be touched. Some see it as a flaw when compared to more open crime games. I think it is *the* thing that makes Mafia feel so... honest. Let's talk about it!

I've still only played the first, but I did think that it was a really interesting move to send someone who looks exactly like Dante's mom as the bait to lure him into a trap.

Really yelled the Oedipus Complex right out front, and I respect the hell out of it.

Also if we keep doing it for the Love of the Game then other people who are doing it for the love of the number will stop doing it, and we will get their number.
