Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm beginning to think BG3's current patch may be the buggiest of them all - my latest solo playthrough has had me falling through floors, taking fall damage by opening a door, enemies ignoring glyphs, aoe's not hitting things dead center in them, and attacks just not firing... 010
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Taito, are you sniffing around in the corners or something, I swear I was just talking about a Lufia re-release/remaster/etc. on stream (looks like it's just going to be a re-release of the first 2 games, not sure which versions though) 000

Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Do you know what borders on Insanity? Canada and Mexico. (yes, stole this joke, from someone else who stole it) 010
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Am I the only person that sees those ads for Laika and has the thought "I feel those eyebags, personally"? 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Seriously - you can buy two amazing and interesting unique experiences for the cost of a new skin in a lot of these GaaS games... I think lifetime games are among the worst shifts in gaming consumer habits in gaming in the past 20 years (they ride on the back of MtX - the 3rd worst industry shift) 110
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 27/08/2026What's the weirdest change in your psychology you've noticed since you started streaming? 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 20/08/2026While waiting for stream to start - gotta ask, where did this idiotic notion that anti-gen-ai artists think slop-coding is fine? Maybe I'm at a weird intersection of folks - but most the artists I know personally are anti-slop even in coding. Maybe it's because a lot made their own gallery sites... 130
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Stream delayed, but will happen - it'll be AT MOST 2 hours late, but might be able to start earlier. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 19/08/2026oh god... the new youtube dashboard changes are... even worse than the last ones, with everything taking more clicks to reach - and it's buggy to boot (doesn't save customization options) Only have it on my namesake channel - not LPE or the Education channel... but not looking forward to this. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" We need something similar for techbros/altright/etc folks: "Never attribute to intelligence that which is adequately explained by stupidity" It's not 4D chess, it's not "just trolling", they're just wrong. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I don't know why, and I probably won't watch it anyways, but I can't be the only one annoyed that it's not "The End of Park Street" rather than "The End of Elm Street" (or at least some other pun like "Bet Jur-ass-it's Park Street") 001
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Just a reminder - if a new setting requires you to go in, and opt out of it manually, especially with these larger companies - chances are they already know it's going to be unpopular. Usually the objective is for it to remain ON for people that aren't told about it or that are inactive. 020
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Is it just me, or are the downsizing announcements sounding more and more like they're removing people from the circle of life, rather than removing their positions? 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I don't think YouTube's partnership changes are going to do what they (google) or Newtubers think they're going to do... Slop relies heavily on volume, not quality - and can hit those numbers with far worse "per video" performance than conscious content. 020
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I need to get back to making maps and assets... getting the itch again... 110
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Might just start adopting the WWTPD life philosophy (What Would Trash Pandas Do)... 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 09/08/2026seriously - if you want me to notice your game's emails, almost every press agency works mon-fri - so send that stuff on Saturday and Sunday lol Those are usually my catch up days - since the email volume is 1/10th of what it normally is, so you'll be right up near the top ;) 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Just another reminder to Indie Devs - if you're doing a release discount to get extra notifications, you need to do 20% on steam to make it give the bell notification for discounts, less than that and you're giving up one major notification avenue, which greatly reduces the visibility. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I'm sorry, but at a certain point it's no longer fanservice, it's just Diet Porn... 010
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I swear some people are out here asking ai how often they should wipe their own ass... 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I think there's some confusion about what the LPE channel is - there's a reason it's minimally edited: It's a channel of receipts for reviews and games, the focus isn't growth, it's transparency as to how I came to my opinions on a title, and to show off raw experiences with games I can't review. 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. Would say it's "Normal" mode for me - I rarely watch movies repeatedly... so I'll make it harder by not picking an English movie...static.klipy.comDoug Jones as Paleman in Pan's LabyrinthAlt: Doug Jones as Paleman in Pan's Labyrinth 000

Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Just a reminder - if you want day 1 reviews, or even just day 1 videos - you need to give creators/press/etc. access before release. Use those Beta keys. I'm seeing this ignored more and more, especially at 'new' pr companies, new indies, and even older pr companies that have switched to ai emails. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 27/07/2026My misreading of a recent post someone shared about a dream of drowning in the Mariana Trench - made my brain think about how sacrifices to the flying spaghetti monster would obviously need to happen in the Marinara Trench... 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Using bots to try and suggest your game to creators is a bad look... "This spam concept feels fresh and strategic. Reminded me of [redacted title], that rts-roguelike mix looks like it hits the right vibe without heavy micro. anyone else seen the demo?" 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I'm anti gen-ai, not anti-ai. That said, ai (even the non-generative kind) should not be the arbiter of a final decision. Platform moderation, hiring, firing, budgets, medical directives, etc. - ai should apply flags, humans should be needed for review. This is for 2 reasons: 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 30/06/2026If I haven't said it enough... I fucking hate Gen-ai... with a passion. I swear, everything that was a problem with creating before 2020 has been made orders of magnitude worse at every point I have to bump into that lazy worthless slop. (this includes fucking dealing with LEGAL stuff) 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Has "I can't be assed"/"I can't be arsed" saying disappeared from the common lexicon or something? Seriously got looked at like I was crazy and that it made no sense... by someone older than me. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 28/06/2026daily? me - I'm even older than the house I live in... semi-regularly? i do have some books nearing 100 years old ... 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 28/06/2026While there's some exceptions in the pipeline due to recording issues (such as my idiocy borking audio on one game) - every review I do these days IS backed up by series and streams over on my side channel, if you want to see how my play by play feelings compare to my post-mortem feelings. 010
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 28/06/2026A successful review always gets 2 types of comments: 1. Someone defending the game because they think I hated it (or I was too critical) 2. Someone hating the review because I dared to mention positive things about it (or calling me a paid shill, despite openly refusing sponsorships/merch/etc) 120
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 21/06/2026What's for breakfast? Coffee with Chips and Salsa... I have a perfectly normal diet. 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 21/06/2026At this rate, Adrev is going to hit 100 new invalid claims on my channel in a bit under 2 weeks... (they're averaging ~7-10/day atm) 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 21/06/2026"So many games have gen-ai, it's the industry standard!" Yea, and a lot of games (compared to quantity of releases at the time) had NFTs, Blockchain, and Crypto shit in them... People looking to get rich quick, is not an indicator of consumers actually being interested in it. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Fucking Christ Adrev... 9 claims in 24 hours on something I licensed a decade ago? You were doing so good (had been a year since the spammed me with claims)... 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 13/06/2026You're telling on yourself if you think anything written above a fourth grade level is "ai"... I swear these people are as dumb as the grocery store walkers who freak out and scream "chemicals!" because they don't know what fucking folic acid and niacin are 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Seeing a lot of indie games doing a 10% discount on launch - just a quick note: Yes a discount on launch boosts early purchases (this is good for your visibility), BUT for an in-app notification the discount needs to be 20%, otherwise you're still limited to email notifications to wishlists. 100
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 02/06/2026That's definitely a double oddity front page of steam... 1. the publisher is "ignored" & 2. While I fully support porn games being on steam (enjoy what you want), that particular game is one of the disturbing "We promise everyone's over 18 despite everything pointing otherwise" type porn games... 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Why do I have a feeling youtube is going to remove our ability to see dislikes without digging within the next year? I do actually use likes/dislikes (as well as comments) to gauge how videos perform, but they keep rolling out (and then rolling back) tests that hide likes/dislikes in dashboard... 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I find it funny that techbros hate statistics... there's not a single demographic that ever polls at less than 50% "dislike" rate for gen-ai (in real polls, not hallucinated ones). Though if you mention that, they fly off the handle like Kyle on his 4th Monster losing a round of CoD to a child. 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 16/05/2026This might be the critic in me - but I absolutely abhor when people act like anything short of perfection makes something "bad" - I see it in gaming spaces, exercise spaces, diet spaces, art spaces, music spaces, you name a place people exist emotionally, creatively, or physically - and it's there. 120
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Gen-AI is basically the information age's equivalent of what lead was to the industrial age... 121
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 13/05/2026So why am I only just now finding out about this game? 000
Alzorath @alzorath.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Feels good to be able to drink caffeine again (was living on decaf green "tea" during it)... had to stop because of pain med rotation the past few days (don't want ulcers kids). Hello coffee my old friend... 000
