YouTube video by OutOfCharacters

I've been posting video essays on YouTube again about YuGiOh. Everyone is saying they are "very good", not my words

When an artist who inspires you turns out to be a rapist, your response cannot be to stop making art. Reject them, their work, the parts of them you once emulated, but don’t stop.
It wasn’t their crime that inspired you. Make the things they made you want to make. Fuck them; keep the inspiration.

I don't really say this lightly, but Sam has really made something special here. If art can be good, this is good art.

it's taken me this long to realize that there's an entire class of people that are awake at 11 pm est just to see new yugioh cards that get announced, and many of them are europeans

does anyone have an example of a yugioh game where a player got FTKd through a charmy on stream? Ideally on a YCS stream or challenger cup, but honestly any livestream clip would be sufficient at this point.

I genuinely am still surprised by fandom’s hatred for engage. Like everyone is entitled to their opinions but it didn’t do anything egregious enough to warrant this level of hate

I was relatively happy with most of how this video turned out, but every couple days I get comments from yugi boomers. I get that one of the main criticisms of yugioh is its complexity (and I address that), but I wish I could have more heavily emphasized that it's something I think is mostly good.

Love seeing so many moments from the anime reimagined in these but the fusion monster is designed in a lab to make people crash out at locals

Surprise! Thanks to @neilbefore.me and their legendary UI/UX work we're ending early access!
Special shoutout to @littlekuriboh.bsky.social for her outstanding performance on my script, so much talent I could've made a 2nd out of the outtakes alone.
Enjoy Simorg!

After playing 3 hours of big walk, my understanding of the game loop is "get new item -> immediately punt it into the dark forest underbrush so nobody can ever find it or use it"

New video! An unhinged duel with the devious @outofcharacters.bsky.social using only vanilla monsters... except the flavor text is the effect.
This went above and beyond previous installments in the series--and not just because Mega Thunderball got launched onto a Z-axis.

finally cracking house of leaves because it's the video essayist meme or whatever. It's super creepy and uses medium in many very interesting ways, but the fucked up part is that it somehow hits the same part of my brain that homestuck felt to read

I personally have been giving a lot of feedback on this simulator while it was in development! I would love to see a version of DB with a lot of the jank fixed, and I'm hoping that's what simorg can be for the community
