If, for some reason or another, you want to hear more of what I think about various different video games, I write little reviews up for just about everything I play these days over on Backloggd:

Fair warning that I have very questionable taste and opinions.

There's the "I want shorter games worse graphics not kidding etc etc" phrase, how about "I want artists to be able to make mistakes and make weird unappealing shit sometimes and not starve"

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game.
Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

Update: YouTube straight up removed another video about loot boxes. They’re just hitting anything that mentions gambling regardless of context.
What a ridiculous platform.
What a ridiculous platform.
YouTube restricted an old video about loot boxes being restricted by gambling laws under the “sale of regulated goods policy.”
Yes YouTube, my vids famously “depict or promote” gambling. Those years of anti-loot box videos were secretly pro-loot box the entire time, you ridiculous dumbfuck site 😂.

I often get this with women's history. Marital rape and abuse was normal. Literally abolished within living memory. They don't want to believe their parents and grandparents lived, and participated, in societies of extreme cruelty.
But they just did. It's childish to ignore that fact.

Like it's much easier to believe that it's the TikToks making the kids think they have autism, than it is to accept that for the entirety of human history we treated neurodivergent people with unimaginable cruelty
I get why they resist, but it's a massive barrier to any kind of progress

I always wondered why political normies/centrists/whatever, hate being told the systemic/historical reasons for social issues. Like they react *super* negatively
I think they see it the same way they see PETA animal cruelty videos. As if informing them was the violent act in all this

Sorry if I ever quote share hate and delete it, it's because I'd rather not expose my following to hate when that's the last thing they should be confronted with everyday.

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.
