Three panel comic. Panel 1: a woman pushing a shopping cart into a grocery store. In the baby seat of the shopping cart is an unusual orange creature with a trunk and antennae. The security guard standing in the doorway says, “ma’am, you can’t bring that in here.” Panel 2: the woman turns around and gestures at the creature. She says, “come on… he’s not hurting anyone.” Panel 3: the security guard points matter-of-factly at a sign on the wall behind him. The sign reads in bold red letters, “NO SHNOOBS. NO EXCEPTIONS.” It features a picture of an identical orange creature, the humble shnoob.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Thief Gold (1998, Gold - 1999) very excited for the remaster for one main reason-- gamepad UI. I've had mounting carpal tunnel issues that have made playing with keyboard+mouse increasingly difficult, but the Steam Deck works very well for me ergonomically. @nightdivestudios.bsky.social when :(

Today I'm adding 2 new Steam Curator reviews, with two review copies at the opposites of a budget spectrum - Dying Breed that tries to capture the Command and Conquer spirit, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword that blows every hack and slash game out of the water. store.steampowered.com/curator/6876...
Steam Activity screenshot featuring Dfactor Longplay Steam Curator review for...

Dying Breed - Recommended
"Charming low-budget live action FMVs with an all too familiar RTS mechanics. Base building is simplistic, with tight survival timings. Under siege missions frustrate, commando ones being the fun ones."
Reviewer received this product for free

Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Recommended
"Best-looking swordplay title of all time with unmatched animation quality that does not sacrifice input latency. Expressive characters, pleasing cutscenes, well-tuned challenge, unnecessary busywork."

Usually accusations come from some internet sleuths that disappear immediately when debunked, but seeing another video game channel pull this while claiming to be an expert is a new level of embarrassing. I suppose their slop avatar and banner is a fair warning of their poor judgement.
YouTube comment tree under Covert Ops: Nuclear Dawn - Scenario S Walkthrough [No Damage] video.

@Elbulogamer 4 hours ago (edited)
this is not expert difficulty. the crossbow boss is missing his melee roundhouse attack which he will SPAM if u stay close AND there is a massively obvious savestate cut after you select your savefile difficulty.


@DfactorLongplays 2 hours ago
Consider asking politely in the future, rather than throwing accusations around when you've got no clue what you're talking about when even a moron could notice an entirely different damage balancing and an entirely different pick up item selection between said difficulties to the point where you don't even need to see the main menu to know on which mode it's being played on. 


@Elbulogamer 1 hour ago
Well I'm getting ready to upload my own video on the game on Expert S scenario. And no matter what angle I approach the crossbow guy, in either A or S, he will immidiately counter a punch with a 360 roundhouse that you can't even hop back or roll away in time. He will cancel his volleys to do this. I've played the game many many times, and experimenting with enemy patterns and yours look sussy af ngl. My best guess would be you stitched that section of the game played on normal while the rest is expert, I can tell bc of the smg barrel instead of the extended mag. Also your video is ridden with save states poorly masked with editing, the missmatch music and sound glitches are a clear tell.


@DfactorLongplays
So, you're making your own video by trying to copy strategies from an established existing video, failing to do so, and the immediate conclusion that springs to your mind is that it's not your own fault, but of a channel that has been in this field 17 years more than yours.

Instead of apologizing, you double down, claim to be knowledgeable about the game, while without realizing it making yourself look even more stupid in the process.

How about you crawl back to the AI slop hole you came from?
