If 20 years on social media has taught me anything, it's that posting is the first step towards disappointment, but I appreciate everyone who has followed, subscribed or checked out my videos, and I look forward to finding new people who love video games.
I've said a lot of words about video game remakes. Now I'm comparing those thoughts to the One Piece edits that make the show run faster and you know... maybe there's wiggle room in art after all.

I'm feeling like the next video won't be very good, but it's supposed to be a spooky month video, so it has to get done.

I wrote it in december of last year, spent a fair chunk of change on hardware and props, and I know it's going to get like 100 views, but I hope they like it.

Bungie's ambitions nearly destroyed them, but it also produced one of the most influential video games of all time, for the second time.

My podcast partner and best friend forever @philmakesmonsters.bsky.social has a short story collection that is just raking in positive reviews. It comes out next week so maybe buy it?
Phil Keeling's Be Not Afraid is a five star debut of Southern weird fiction and religious horror: a hellbender hunt, a wounded angel in the cellar and a TV chef's last show.

There is now a second The Crawl channel: THE CRAWLSPACE. This is where all future YouTube streams and VODs will live, along with various one-off videos and other The Crawl ephemera. If that sounds cool to you, you can check it out here: www.youtube.com/@TheCrawl_sp...

I'm like 15 hours in to FF7 remake and 4 us in to Quest64 and it might surprise you which one I'm enjoying more, though the similarities are also uncanny.

I've been asked if my indie games use AI🤮

No.

I spend more time polishing and tweaking than creating it in the first place so the idea of getting slop just seems awful🔪🤖

Support real games and wishlist Gone Feral or buy The Axis Unseen + Deedlee Doo! Carkour!

Old gaming magazines are so weird. This game would apparently go on to become Bloodrayne. Jeremy Smith was, and apparently still is, one of the Executive Producers on Tomb Raider.

Sometimes I'll see a comment on a really popular creators video from someone who also commented on something of mine and think "Holy shit, maybe I am good at this. The same people watch my thing and (popular thing)."

Even better when it's one of the weirdos.

So uh, yeah.

Just FYI to any CRPG/Dungeon Crawler peeps who might see this.

Sometimes research on a video game can take you to weird places. Like the wikipedia entry for Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider, and who is allowed to sing "We're not gonna take it"

I really hate all the slop AI and machine translated (MTL) fan translations that are flooding the scene.

Years ago, I was ignorant to fan translation sources, but having played many Japanese games for videos at this point, AI or MTL will never understand the nuance of a work of art.

Fuck gen AI

If I found out my company had missed out on a qualified applicant because of some stupid shit like this, I'd fire the jackass who did it. Grow up.
I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.
