I really want to make a video about art criticism and how foolish I think all the “this game/movie/song/etc is objectively bad” rhetoric is, but I also know that anyone who doesn’t like the idea is just going to yell at and insult me in the comment section and I’d really rather not deal with it.

Rant. Sorry.
Y'know, I try not to let it bother me because I do know that it ultimately doesn't matter, but the reception to Mario Kart World really has depressed me. It's the second coming of Pokémon from the perspective that it forces my eyes open to the fact that not only do most people not like

I really like Gachiakuta so far! It’s the vibe I need in my life right now, and it always seems to do the opposite of what I’m expecting from a story like it, in a good way.

I think this is the first time I've literally ever heard of the game "Assetto Corsa" but I got this recommended today and I *NEED* a full game like this mod YESTERDAY. I needed this 18 years ago, to be clear, but I NEEEEED IT now.

I think video game fans should consider pulling back on comparison as a whole. All art inherently exists in the context of what you've experienced before, but that doesn't mean you have to use existing pieces as a benchmark. Indie Games in particular I think would really appreciate some isolation.

Stranger Things finale was fine. Not amazing not terrible, tbh. I can’t wait for the glut of videos about how it’s objectively bad storytelling so I can not click on any of them!

In 2D Mario platformers, Mario can either crouch or slide, but is denied the ability to sit in place. However, with a specific setup in Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario will come to rest in a sliding animation, finally allowing him to simply sit.

Played some Shadowverse for the first time in a few months- still a very good game, and I opened a neat full Premium pack.
Gotta say, Rhinoceroach is one of my favorite cards in any card game, but he's starting to feel like a bad design, lol. I can't really see him getting dethroned at this point.

The menus being 100x better aside, Mario Tennis Fever really does look like a banger. I'm super hopeful that the Switch 2 can bring Mario sports back to a point where I can unambiguously enjoy them.

I cannot describe to you how difficult it is to find time for a job, a YouTube channel, and playing games for fun. Even ignoring the fact that there are other things I'd love to be practicing like drawing, writing, or programming, it already feels impossible for me.

Got it, I’ll transition from “slop” to “pathetic, inhuman, traitorous slop-ass fucking garbage”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Every time I hear that Mario Kart World launched "light on content" I die a little inside. I knew 8 Deluxe would completely shatter people's expectations on this front. World has *easily* the largest amount of content any Mario Kart has ever launched with and it's not even close.

Happy New Year, everyone! 2025 was an abnormally big one for me. I feel healthier today than I have since I was a child, both mentally and physically. The man who hated himself last New Year's can confidently say he doesn't anymore, and is FIFTY pounds lighter on the scale. It's surreal, honestly.
