Truly they're so mad. Got people in my comments telling me my whole channel is bad because I didn't agree with consensus that it's an "objectively bad" game. Christ

Truly did not expect my "Veilguard is good actually" video to immediately have more dislikes than my "Persona 4 is conservative actually" video

If a task has more than one step, it's simply not getting done today!

I agree it could be better but the game we got is better than a lot of other games I play

I make a video with the subtext of "be fucking normal about games" and get accused of not being normal about games? Sure.

Someone has already blocked me for this Veilguard video...but we agree? I have said nothing in public about Veilguard. Me being too harsh on the game in the past was me deciding to stop playing after a 90 minute demo 1 year after release. Not making a rage bait video about it being "bad" Lmao ok

Extremely different video games and goals imo

We gotta make the fan games EA won't

Unfortunately that's never happening.

Number ratings of art are stupid, but my point is that it's at that sweet spot where it's not groundbreaking but I also couldn't stop playing it. These are all the reasons it kept me hooked.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was treated pretty unfairly, including by me! It's not a great game but I sure as hell enjoyed my time with it. youtu.be/67wWsYvcZfk

This list is not complete, and that is the point. @bb.wavelengths.online and @stephenhilger.bsky.social often say that the more things you pull from, the more unique a thing you create. That's all I hope for.

I just said both of these things to my husband. His book is present in the background of every video I've made in the last 6 months.

I think it’s good not just to have many, many inspirations but not to value any of them above yourself. Even if you are just starting at something you have as much worth as an expert and putting them above yourself can be a form of self betrayal too.

I hope the person who was hurt is doing alright and that this moment is not awful for them.

The Jacob Geller stuff is awful. He should be held accountable. I'm under 0 illusions that people whose work you admire are better. But his work was the biggest inspiration for my own. I'm just happy to have found others to be inspired by, especially the women and nb people writing about games.

I'll be really honest. I did not like this book. But I loved making this episode. There is a twist at the end you'll never guess.

I've seen like 3.5 episodes of The Bear as my husband is watching it, and it seems to me like this is 4 seasons of formerly shitty people learning about emotional regulation.

9 more games! My first console was the SNES but also so many recent games have altered my taste.

Kentucky Route Zero, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed II, Pokemon Blue, Citizen Sleeper, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Smash Melee, Her Story, and Super Mario World

Yeah I'm not sure what's up. I did Leda in 40 hours and did everything.

It is wild how good Strange New Worlds is. With one exception, this season was incredible.

The latest possible take, but Jonatan is watching The Acolyte. This show is bad in the way a lot of new Star Wars is bad, but it also has some really cool looking moments. Pretty great lightsaber battles. A sick ass helmet. The witches were awesome.

This is not actually the case. I have a lot of supports in my Leda route

This is about fire emblem but also about every conversation where people act like dedicated narrative moments are not part of what makes a game whole.

Matt Horton @matt.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

The story is part of the game! The story is the game! There is not a game part and a story part! They are both the game! They are not different!

Matt Horton @matt.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I was user 300-something of this website and my first post was about Midnight Suns It's like $9 constantly. You gotta play it if you have literally a shred of interest
