Kia Ora, hello, I'm Mitch known as HeavyEyed online, from Aotearoa - New Zealand. I make videos on games and why we play them.

I cover stuff from personal impact, to how a games soundtrack can make you feel and the reflection of politics in games.

Just played the demo for Skate Story and this is one of the best skate games Ive played in a very long time. The vibes are absolutely on point and the skating feels fluid with enough roughness to be challenging. Cannot wait to see this drop

Extremely late to this one but watching The Rehearsal for the first time and nothing has ever devastated me with cringe this much before

Mitch Cramer @heavyeyed.bsky.social · 4d

Mitch Cramer @heavyeyed.bsky.social · 4d

Mitch Cramer @heavyeyed.bsky.social · 4d

Made the mistake of talking about Skyrim

do what I do and play a shitty game from 16 years ago that's somehow still got a playerbase and pretend new games never existed

Mitch Cramer @heavyeyed.bsky.social · 6d

yeah that might have to be the play honestly, just throwing it on by myself on a whim not prepared for that deep level of awkwardness was a time

I wanted to like Friendship so much more than I did, and it wasn't bad by any means but I think maybe my expectations were a little too high for a Tim Robinson feature

Picked this up thanks to @heavyeyed.bsky.social's rec and I already think it was a mistake. Because I wanted to do other shit tonight. Superb writing/storytelling thus far

Can't believe I missed the anniversary to the greatest emo album ever written. A true masterpiece, not a single skip on the record

My colleagues at Bloomberg report that the $20 billion debt in the EA deal is expected to be rated single-B — meaning it is considered a "junk" loan, or one that is high-risk and speculative, typically offering high interest rates. Which the new EA will have to pay
