20+ hours into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and hit...uhm..."that" part of the story.

What. A. Game. For something that feels like a familiar JRPG mix of Atlus and Square, the story is doing some things I can't stop thinking about.

Demanded Lani play it JUST so we could talk about it.

Entire arc

Definitely a take that made my brain hurt a little bit.

Recording a channel news video this weekend to explain the new content ID delays that are coming. Any other questions/topics you'd like Lani and I to cover?

Having to individually argue the fair use of every episode used in the video. Fun.

EARLY RELEASE: The Pylea Arc • TPN’s Angel Guide | The Passion of the Nerd

Episode Guide for Pylea is up on Patreon for early release.

The YouTube upload got content ID scanned into the ground. Something has changed with their system and I'm going to have to go through the appeals process. No ETA for now.

I’m very very saddened to hear the news about Michelle Trachtenberg. She was an always-bouncing goofy kid, a ray of sunshine. Awful loss.

a woman is standing in front of a window and says hey girlfriend bad time

When I publish something, the first 2 days comments tend to be very kind. Day 3 (like clockwork) heralds the arrival of the 'Well actually's,' the 'not-your-bests,' and the 'you-forgot-to-mentions.'

Not bothered by the opinions. It's the fact that I could set my watch to it that I find fascinating.

There was no congestion in phase 1. Guess I didn't realize there would be phases.

Got my 1st bout of Covid last week. A wekk of sleeping 20 hours a day. Which...for someone like me who deals with insomnia all the time almost felt more like a benefit. The aches on the other hand...not so much.

Those have now cleared however...phase 2 has brought congestion?

The lighting in the HD remaster of Buffy on Disney+ really is just as appalling as described in that video by Passion of the Nerd.

Lighter (L): Disney+ UK

Darker (R): Region 2 DVD

(From the beginning of S6 E16 Hell's Bells)

What are the best romances in video games? I always thought Shepard hitting on crew members was a little weird. Let alone each of them being a mostly sure thing - as long as you remembered to hit the romance option.

Are there any romances in games you found memorable?
