As is now tradition, I've done my year-in-review of games I played on Twitch/Youtube! It's a bit rambling and chaotic but I think it's fun looking back at all the titles I've enjoyed, especially some of the smaller/less well known titles.

No stream tomorrow on account of getting trapped in Iceland for an extra day, thanks to my plane getting delayed in Munich by an hour.

Quick heads up that I'm in Iceland at the moment, so no stream tonight! I'll be back in December!

It is with very mixed feelings that I release the last episode of my Silksong playthru today. The game has great visuals, music, combat, map design, & story... but the difficulty of the game low-key ruins it. I love it, but I also can't cleanly recommend it either.

I think Silksong's been out long enough that I can label my act 1 VODs without feeling like I'm gonna spoil folks, yeah? This feels like a reasonable amount of waiting.

Hot take: the existence of Hollow Knight's normal mode in no way diminishes the Steel Soul mode.
Ergo, why would an "easy" mode diminish the normal mode? In what way would it invalidate or damage the experience of players on the normal mode?

So uh, sorry about the radio silence & missed streams last week! I was in the hospital thanks to a blood clot which caused a renal infarction, which sucked a whole lot.
I'm home now and on the mend, but I'm gonna take this week off streaming as well, just to play it safe. Thanks for understanding!
