If you fancy a giggle (& some trees) today... enjoy this video🌲 Best demo I've played all year, an infuriating & hilarious masterpiece. I raged at it for an hour & loved every second. The best & worst (complimentary!!) 10/10 would spend hours joyfully cursing it again. youtu.be/SARM1i05i60

YouTube Thumbnail with the text "Trees Hate Me". Kolo's face is in the foreground, expression scrunched up and eyes closed with three white question marks next to her head. the background is two images from the game demo Trees Hate You, one has a character's path blocked by a bending tree and the other shows a character it trapped under overlapping tree roots.

Did a hard thing today then joked to my partner about how adulthood sucks because you don't get a gold star when you do hard things. Just found this on my desk 🥹

A hand drawn gold star on lined paper. The words "YOU DID IT" above the star in upper case letters.

Reason number 500000000 why video games are cool: Being able to meet a wonderful human you've known for nearly 8 years and having a dance together, while being many many miles away!!! @runibl.bsky.social it was so lovely to meet you in No Man's Sky!! 🚀✨

Having emotionally vulnerable discussions on the internet isn't always easy. I often think "time to stop talking about the deep stuff and protect myself" Then I get a comment like this. Or one that tells me how much it resonated/connected with them And I think yeah. That's it. That's why I do it.

screenshot of YouTube comment on a Baldur's Gate 3 video.

Comment reads: "I'm currently listening to the wonderful discussion you had and just wanted to tell you how refreshing it is to come across a gamer who injects their feelings so readily and unapologetically into the game. I'm so glad I found your channel. Oh and your laughter is beautifully infectious - you're a joy to watch"

Finally answering my most FAQ.... Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Today. Live on Twitch. 5pm BST/ 6pm CEST/ 9am PT/ 11am CT/ 12 noon EDT It's been 5 years since I played. About time I got to grips with Space Legs!!!

Kolo, a white woman with ginger curly hair and glasses looks up to the corner with her head resting on her hand. Around her is a collection of screenshots of comments from YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and TikTok in which users talk about Elite Dangerous. The screenshotted comments request in various ways that that Kolo plays Elite Dangerous, or asks when she will be playing it, or if she still plays it, or specifically requests streams of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey

YouTube is using AI to suggest responses to comments people make on my videos. It's must be trained on previous responses as it's using words & emojis I regularly use. I hate it. I just want to be a human making content for humans & can't find the off switch Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Baldur's Gate 3 is possibly the best AND the most absurd game I've ever played. Last night I got Sarevok down first try after 90 mins, suuuper clutch. Hardest fight in the game so far... but now I have to re-do the entire thing because I accidently upset a flying elephant 😂 I love this game 😂

screenshot from Kolo's stream showing Baldur's Gate 3 gameplay and Kolo's facecam in the top right. Kolo has her head in her hands. The gameplay is very dark but shows the character Valeria; a flying elephant with wings and a little hat, flying in the air. At the bottom of the screenshot the text reads "Narrator: This individual doesn't seem particularly fond of you. Perhaps a gift would improve their sentiment"

I get these "YOURE CLAIMING..." comments all the time on my Skyrim playthrough & 9/10 times the poster deletes them after 10 mins I think it's cause it takes approx 5 mins to realize no one would fake being as clueless about this game as I was 😂 YES it was my first play & chaos & I loved it! 🐉

Minami Lane is a damn DELIGHT. If you enjoy Indie games, cosy management games, cute animals, short games you can 100% in a handful of hours... And if you enjoy games like Animal Crossing or Stardew... you'll love this. Plays super well on steam deck too! @dodoot.bsky.social your game is a JOY 🥹❤️

Turns out BG3 was not at all ready for me 😂

Screenshot of a YouTube comment from user lucasxfiuza. It reads "What just happened??? BG3 is a massive game full of fail-safes and scenarios intended for less than 1% of players, and yet just the right amount of chaos and clever thinking was able to break reality. Well done!"

Kolo @helloitskolo.com · 08/11/2024

Loads of people have said this recently... it's so accurate! Yes I DO want to roll to try and help people in literally every video game I play, and then have the game tell me "you can certainly try..." This comment wasn't even on a BG3 video, it was on a Fallout one! Nail on the head.

Is it too late to post my Halloween costume here? 👀 I made this myself, after years of wanting to do a poison ivy cosplay, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! 🍃❤️
