This morning I put up my complete recap of the Wuthering Waves Update 2.7 Part 2 story. It's easily the biggest video I've done so far. 7 hours of gameplay story condensed into 1. Two weeks of nights and mornings on this one, so it'll probably get 10's of views lol. Link in comments! #wutheringwaves

Does being in a long term relationship grant you automatic no-ask access to a few of the significant other's french fries? Asking for a friend..

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness. Or your breath will smell of elderberries.

this entire week has been one single PSA: "the cloud" just means "someone else's computer" and that "someone else" is one of three companies and they don't give a s**t about you

BTW, if anyone knows who it was that said something nice about my YouTube channel ImStillPlaying over on X, please forward it along! I would very much like to thank them. But I'm not on X anymore, haven't been for years, and that isn't changing anytime soon.

So I haven't been on blue sky in months - no lie. But I had a recent uptick in visitors to my YouTube channel recently, and as this is the only social I list in my deets, I thought I should prolly start using the platform again. :) So cheers everyone! I'm back!

I knew immediately it was Leo the 14th because of all the time I spent in Final Fantasy 14 and so XIV are the only Roman numerals I know. Never let them tell you MMOs can't teach you anything!

Imagine my disappointment when I woke up this morning thinking YES I slept in until 8:30 only to realize it's actually only 7:30. Stupid time change..

I didn't get a chance to send this around last week, but I put up a new vid that aims to serve as an introduction to gacha games for anyone that's only ever played western RPG's and MMO's. There's some great fun to be had in gacha, but some caveats to be aware of. youtu.be/KrCnP1eQmhA

Honestly I haven't been engaging here (or really any social media) much of late, but I'm throwing myself into my YouTube channel, pushing out shorts and videos every day. In my latest video I'm talking about why Zenless Zone Zero's pause cam event is so genius. youtu.be/RhyFPN8rOjI?...

Afternoon Skynet! I spent damn near all day putting together a 5 minute video. So do a brutha a solid and check it out. Plus it's educational! I'm talking about why you can't jump on ZZZ! Link below!

In keeping with the signs of the times, I'm now leaning into games with incredibly predatory monetization schemes for both my primary source of entertainment and moral compass..

"Third person can crawl up its own ass with heavy prose.." is my new favorite writing advice. Also, guilty as charged.

Dusty Monk @dlangar.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

My goal for 2025 is to only play games that have no end like gacha and MMO's. Then I can't feel bad for not having finished any games in 2025..

Good morning Skynet! I know many of you are waking up to brutal cold out there, including us here in Big D. So screw work, play video games, and most importantly stay warm!

So I've now added a teleprompter to my video content production pipeline. It took about two hours this morning to get set up just right, but man was it worth it. So many less takes when I don't have to memorize and ad lib every paragraph of what I want to say. Love it!

Some days I wanna go back to that time when I could just periodically post Evanescence lyric snippets in my flirty thirties AOL chat room and people just got me.

Share a game that you loved that didn't get amazing reception. Mirror's Edge Beautiful clean art direction, fantastic protagonist that I loved, solid 1st person park parkour implementation. Marred by too much gunplay and over tuned combat encounters.
