I love a long youtube video. Give me a 3-5 hour long video that I will watch in 12-50 minute chunks over the course of a week and will have to rewind several times because I've fallen asleep to it

Reaffirming my promise to no longer publicly participate in game sales discourse as I see more and more posts about Switch 2 and Air Riders that call to me like the green goblin mask

Dune Awakening is just the latest game to prove Steam Deck Verification is a practical joke. Has to be compromised visually beyond the point of legibility to be playable, and no amount of tuning was achieving a middle ground. And the art direction & fidelity is so key to a game like this!

Road Trip mode is uniquely bad, but I think Sakurai has always struggled to reverse-engineer meaningful story modes for his multiplayer-first games. I don't think Subspace or World of Light are particularly good, but both are better than this by a wide margin. Road Trip is so tedious

What does INDIE mean?
I’m preparing for a video where I explore the definition of indie games, its divisive nature and how it’s evolved over the years!
Give me your definition of indie- what elements are most important to you to labeling something as indie?

I'm very excited for Air Riders tomorrow but it will be impossible to tell how much mileage I'll get out of it until Thanksgiving when I can try the game with ppl who know nothing about Air Ride. Will they get it? I hope so, because I'd love for this to be a staple in my local multiplayer rotation

Alright suckers, you wanna talk about Myles MacKenzie? Let's talk about Myles MacKenzie. Broke down what the hell is up with the Galactic Federation in Metroid, and why Samus palling around with chatty soldiers is, at least, functional. Is it GOOD? Jury's out! www.polygon.com/metroid-prim...
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s chatty NPCs aren’t as surprising as you think
Myles MacKenzie isn't all that out of place in the Metroid universe

Really sharp summation of the problem. I appreciate TGA for what it is, but also have all the tools to understand how flawed its methodology is. A lot of people don't and that casts a particular importance over a show engineered to (mostly) reward a particular class of mainstream game.
Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

Those set leaks for the Zelda movie are cool but its aesthetics are pretty meaningless imo. The Mario movie was a patchwork of various Mario games and I expect the Zelda movie will so the same. So it's hard to read too far into the color of a tunic here

Metroid Prime 3-2 sounds awesome to me. I really like the idea of the wider cast, even if Myles is annoying. Seems like he won't be shadowing you the whole game, that there will be a revolving door of GF troops with you. Really curious what these dynamics bring out of Samus
