Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a heavy weight.

Three years ago, it left me with a wound I continue to scratch. My face haunts the corridors of this digital nightmare. Once more, I confront these primal anxieties.

This is Xenoblade Chronicles 3—a game etched into my soul: nebula.tv/videos/kingk...

KingK — Carrying the Weight of Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Could you imagine a world without the freedom to choose?

Less than 48 hours to go on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter, y'all! The campaign ends on Monday morning! If you've been on the fence about backing it, now's the time to take the plunge!

We're currently at just over $37,000. I wonder if we can hit 40K? 🤔

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Against my will, I have learned of the "Hasan Piker shocks his dog" controversy.

Every day, I endeavor to fight against the notion that we're cooked, and every day a new challenger appears.

What started as a breather review of the new Sonic racing game has grown into something monstrous, and it can no longer be stopped.

12 months in the making, with 30 hours of writing, 19 hours of filming, and 243 hours of editing, this is the hardest video I have ever had to make. Please enjoy as I dig deep down to find out... Why Is Everyone So Obsessed With Evangelion?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I don't like acknowledging this asshole at all, but I do believe these sort of rage bait content creators are detrimental to the medium of games, they take up so much of the space and dominate conversations with this behaviour. And they just move on to the next person they're going victimize.

This a very prominent streamer who consistently uses their platform in this manner.

Got married in June. Amazing milestone. One of the best moments of my life.

I am so glad that it is now over LMAO.

Looking at a boss like Sephiroth, he feels like a walk in the park in 2 even on Crit compared to 1, where I struggle to beat him even on Standard. I shudder to think about what it's going to be like on Proud since I'd like to do everything.

KingK @kingklonoa.bsky.social · 5d

That's what people are saying. I think I have always been afraid of the first game as I feel like I struggle with its design in ways that I often don't with 2 and 3. The first game often feels like more of an endurance test, and I straight up couldn't beat Ansem as a kid on Standard lmao.

It's what I do on basically every playthrough so I guess I didn't really think about the ramifications.

I'm surprised I ever saw the end of KH2 crit.

KingK @kingklonoa.bsky.social · 6d

Been playing Kingdom Hearts again. Despite what you might think, I have never actually played the game through on Proud before (mostly because it scares me).

Just got through Jafar. It's been surprisingly smooth so far, but we'll see what happens when we get to the heinous fights.
