Hi everyone! For those of you who may not know, I make YouTube videos on a variety of games, I create curated mod lists, post video essays, and review tech! I'd love for you to check them out!

It's really hard to be into tech when the things that brought you interest and joy have become misery machines.

Been making things that make my brain light up. Tried my hand at an immersive vlog as someone living in Cyberpunk 2077's Night City. Here's a little piece 👀

If you could live anywhere in a game, where would it be? I'd want to live on the Citadel in mass effect 🛸

I keep seeing people say a Half Life 3 reveal would rival or even be bigger than GTA 6 but like... Would it?
I think most younger games are more familiar with GTA than the half life series...

My setup has changed so many times over the years and it's been fun to see what tech works for my workflow. Packing up and getting ready for my move and I'm excited to see how it changes again.

The craziest part about the new steam hardware is the prospect of buying once and playing your games everywhere. It's the value proposition that gamepass used to have, except now you own it, instead of a rotating library. I don't think that's been stated enough.

BIG same.
PC has dominated my play time and if I can buy one game, play it at my setup, my couch, or on my steam deck, I don't need PS5 or Xbox.

Y'all, this game deserves so much more love. As a fan of faux-MMO'S (.HACK, SAO), this game feels like WoW or ESO single player in the best way. So much content, and great combat, it's clicked with me in the best way.

I wanted a Destiny game in the flavor of Arc Raiders years ago. A survival pvpe title centered around a task force of soldiers that don't possess the light, they forage for items useful to the tower.

My cut is finally almost over. I had blown past my goal of going to 215 to 185 so fast that I extended it to 175, and hit 174 today. I have never managed to lose that much weight without hurting my body (EDs, diet pills) in the past, and have finally done it the healthy way and it feels unreal tbh.

I really hope we get robust mod support and some real optimization for Bloodlines 2. The world design feels great, although I wish it felt a little bit... seedier.

I get the creeping feeling every time I play a borderlands game...
...that the villain is inspired by someone in leadership at gearbox.

PS5 exclusives remind me of molecular gastronomy. I know that they're well made, I know very smart people put them together... but it just doesn't feel like comfort food.
I often find myself saying "I know this is technically a good game, but am I having fun?"

It's refreshing to see Xbox getting shit for acquiring companies and then paying off masses of employees. Next I wanna see the same criticism of parent companies for games news outlets that do the exact same thing.
