6. Bob Trevino Likes It Wow. Achingly authentic and viscerally emotional. I liked this one a lot.

You know, fair enough, it's probably just about this guy.

YouTube threatened me today.

A YouTube ad with a picture of a woman laying on a pillow and the words, "Say Goodbye to Neck" on the side.

Thanks, Google. Your fake robot answers are super helpful.

A Google search for "Dagyab name pronunciation," with the Google AI Overview reading, "You can learn how to pronounce a name using phonetic spelling, which translates letters into sounds."

The first trailer for Wanderstop immediately made it one of my most anticipated games of the year, but even the simple list of co-creators should be more than enough to earn your attention. I'm PSYCHED for this.

A portion of the description of upcoming indie game Wanderstop, which reads, "Wanderstop is a game from the team at Ivy Road, including Davey Wreden (creator of The Stanley Parable and The Beginner’s Guide), Karla Zimonja (co-creator of Gone Home and Tacoma) and Daniel “C418” Rosenfeld (the music of Minecraft)."

Elden Ring out here advertising specifically to polyamorous people lol

An Elden Ring: Nightreign email reading, among other things, "Explore Limveld with your two life partners."

5. Romeo+Juliet Saw this in college, but not since. On rewatch, it's a manic delight. The decision to modernize the setting with Luhrmann's over-the-top stylings while retaining all the original Shakespearean dialogue makes it a surreal and enthusiastically enjoyable adaptation.

4. Ratatouille Haven't seen this since it came out. Thought it was fine then, didn't understand the love that persisted for it over time. On rewatch, no idea what I was thinking. That's some damn good Pixar.

3. This Is How You Lose the Time War A really clever and beautifully written book about two women locked in a war throughout time, as their covert operations lead to a forbidden love that jeapordizes their missions. Its comprised of letters between them, and it's achingly gorgeous and creative.

A red cardinal and blue jay, glitched and standing mirrored to each other, with the title, "This Is How You Lose the Time War," printed above, between, and below them.

2) Mufasa I liked that Kiara was in it. Aside from that, terrible. Music was mid, photorealistic lions still can't emote well, Timon and Pumba chattered constantly and never once made me laugh, and the writing?? The rift between Scar and Mufasa could not have been more clumsy and ham-fisted.

1) Sonic the Hedgehog 3 I didn't like the first movie much, and the second was only a bit better. This one, though? I was GIDDY at multiple points, and I've never even completed a Sonic game. I've got a couple story/theme complaints, but overall extremely fun.

Listening to a compilation of Studio Ghibli piano covers, and this Grabe of the Fireflies song is really pretty!

Descriptive text on a video of piano music from Studio Ghibli films, crediting the current song to a movie called "Grabe of the Fireflies."

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a good video game.

A bat creature named Heismay says, "The man would turn all people into humans... It defies all sense."

What's a Dition?

A card with the title of the game, "What Do You Meme? Family Edition," but the word "edition" is misprinted without the E.

Of all the things to actually quote this accurately, I never expected an achievement from a hidden object game about cats in a theme park (aptly named "A Park Full of Cats").

Sitting on my screened-in porch, with a very good cat and a laptop for writing a game on a cloudy day. ☺️

Not sure if this is trending over here the same way it is on Twitter, but I did the thing. Top 10 are fairly solid, but the order loses all meaning beyond that. There are just too many good games.

A list of 25 games. Way too many to list them all, but they're all great, I promise.

New video is public! To celebrate 50k subscribers, in tall about the games that led me to better understand and appreciate storytelling in video games. (link in replies)

A drawing of me holding three games lovingly to my chest, alongside the title of the video: How I Found Storytelling in Video Games.
