Well this is ridiculous.
Why the hell is Distrokid copyright claiming an in-game song when the composer of said in-game song is also the DEVELOPER???
Shit makes no sense.

I played the Mr. Sleepy Man demo by @mrsleepyman.bsky.social! This was super fun, and I was reminded of old-school N64 platformers! I loved the chaotic gameplay, the music, and the overall silliness of everything, and I’m looking forward to the release! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/VT0Uz6KIl4c?...

#Endfield continues to impress! I'm starting to get into the things I recognize from #Arknights, and alongside having unparalleled gacha luck, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when I stream this game again on Thursday! Thanks for watching, see ya!
This is the second of three #Arknights: #Endfield streams this week! I’m cool with taking this at my own pace, but my desire to know more about this game’s lore INTENSIFIES!! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/8IRIBdD...

First impression? #Arknights: #Endfield is AMAZING! There's a lot of familiarity with Arknights, but also some conventions of a few Hoyo games I've played in here, too, and it feels like a marriage of many different systems! I'll be playing this again tomorrow, so please tune in for that! See ya!
Your boy applied to get access to the #Arknights: #Endfield beta test and got in! I'm a huge fan of Arknights and have been SO EXCITED for Endfield, and now's the time to try it out and see what I think! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/Sq9C4fa...

YAPYAP was fun! Definitely looking forward to when this game comes out of demo! Thanks to my friends for joining me on this one, thank you guys for watching, and tune in tomorrow, as I'm finally starting the #ArknightsEndfield beta! See ya!
Change of plans! My collab friends found a game that none of us have tried, and it looks hilarious, so we're gonna try YAPYAP! From what I understand, it's like Lethal Company and REPO, but with spellcasting! Stream starts at 9PM EST, see you soon! youtube.com/live/TOQQK3v...

Update: No stream tonight. I don't feel great (I felt worse during last night's Clair Obscur stream, but powered through it), and the people that really want to watch me stream Kingdom Hearts aren't able to do so today.
So it's happening next Friday. Sorry! Check my YT posts for my next schedule!

I had a great time continuing #ClairObscur! If I could just nail my parry and dodge timings, I'd be so much better at this game, I swear. But that's why we learn! Thanks for watching, and I'll either see you Saturday for #KingdomHearts or Sunday, still figuring it out! See ya!
I decided to switch some things around, and tonight I'll be continuing #ClairObscur! I didn't think I would like it as much as I did when I streamed it the first time, but I'm looking forward to continuing this one, starting at 8PM EST! See you soon! youtube.com/live/VjAgdMe...

I played the Guard Break demo by @guardbreakgame.bsky.social! I heavily question some design decisions in this game, but everything else was really good! This is a fun callback to PS1 JRPG’s, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/odJ7Gq_NZJY?...

I left off after getting to Moonflow's north bank. I'm definitely not gonna leave #FinalFantasy X to just sit and do nothing for another year, so stay tuned for me going back to it! Thanks for watching, and enjoy your Thanksgiving! See you Friday for #KingdomHearts!
14 months. That’s how long it’s been since I last streamed #FinalFantasyX. 14 months of being STUCK at Sinspawn Gui. I should have grinded levels, but I didn’t. TIME TO BRUTE FORCE IT OR FAIL TRYING, starting at 8PM EST! See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/iaAI5tU...

Okay, for real, #DragonQuest HD-2D is beating my ass right now. So I'm shelving it to play Dragon Quest II HD-2D next time. Also did an impromptu #Kirby Air Riders session at the very end, which was fun! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #FinalFantasyX! See ya!
#DragonQuest. That’s it, that’s the stream! The HD-2D version is pretty tough with multiple enemies and one party member, but I love an old-school challenge! Stream starts at 8PM EST! See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/1n-mr9W...

I didn't know if I was going to like #ClairObscur, but the story pulled me in and the gameplay locked me in! This isn't the best RPG I've ever played, but it comes very close! Looking forward to next time! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #DragonQuest HD-2D! See ya!
Do I agree with all the nominations #ClairObscur got for the Game Awards? I’m not sure, I’d have to play it. But someone gifted me this game because they want me to stream it, so I’ll do it! Will I like it? Tune in at 8PM EST to find out! See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/Sc5FqjS...

I dare argue #Kirby Air Riders is one of the best reasons to get a Switch 2 next to #DonkeyKong Bananza. Game is great, and I'm gonna keep unlocking stuff! If you want to see me stream this again, let me know! Thanks for watching, and tune in Sunday for #ClairObscur! See ya!
I’ve waited 22 long years for this game, and now #Kirby Air Riders is finally here! This stream might be a one-off (it depends) but I at least want to try all the modes and see what I like! Let’s have some high-speed fun, starting at 8PM EST! See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/GZ0_aPp...
