I just remembered when Invincible season 4 was happening, @kingklonoa.bsky.social saw episode 5 before me, and sent me a message saying, and I quote "Invincible was gut-wrenching today" On one hand, I was like; I see what you did there, on the other hand, I was like; you motherfucker.

The news about PAC/Neville blindsided me like hell yesterday. But it once again reinforces why I never want to make dedicated wrestling videos. I saw dozens if not hundreds of people using his death to push tribalistic bullshit. A man just died ffs. These people are the scum of the Earth.

Had to get very particular about what it meant to shape who I am. The top six are all fgoats. The last three I'll have a lot of context behind their inclusion.

When people ask me what I do, depending on their age I will say one of two things. If they're old I will say "Let's just say I run a website" if they're younger I say "The dignified version is that I'm a video journalist, the undignified version is, I run a moderately successful YouTube channel"

Got damn, checking out the new Marvel Rivals battle pass, and that Savage lands Squirrel Girl skin is making me feel a certain kind of way.

Okay, I'm probably more critical of Sony than most. But let's not pretend that Insomniac Games aren't happy to be making Marvel games. Everything I've heard indicates the opposite. The only complaints I've seen are from the community who are indignant they're not getting Ratchet & Clank quick enough

I don't mean this to be snide, but if only I was still a Nintendo fan. I would be eating good right about now.

So... Sony just screwed Hideo Kojima? Do they even have a foot left over after how many times they've shot it?

Having just replayed Mortal 1 Kombat, it astounds me how the entire conflict of the game would have been solved if Liu Kang just talked to Sindel way earlier than he did. "That would mean revealing myself as the architect of this timeline" That's bad because? Nothing changes when he tells her.

You know, watching Obsession and Backrooms almost back to back was kind of a shock to the system. Obsession was a slow moving horror movie that got really good once it got going. Backrooms meanwhile never got going. I've never been so bored watching a horror movie.

I will admit, there is a bit of humor to my comment section from yesterday. Because there are people who told me "they never declined" 3D Platformers objectively declined when they went from being the most popular genre of games to niche status at best in just a few years. This isn't debatable.

Hearing the reasons why Canada rejected the trade deal with the United States kind of makes my blood boil. POTUS was trying to restrict us from trading with anybody else and was trying to roll back on French language laws in Quebec. The only response is "how dare you". Eat shit Cheeto Mussolini.

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

The production is snake bit, the showrunner hasn't played the games, and they don't have the game writers on board. Partly hopes they cancel the show, but part of me wants them to finish it just because it's going to be a wonderful shit show

My EC video has hit 100K views, and I had to ban over 100 people GR conspiracists, send em to the Moon Accusations of being performative, send em to the Moon Edgelords endorsing the game, send em to the Moon People using slurs, send em to the Moon Guy who worked on the game, send em to the Moon

There is some definite casual racism in play. But I think what posts like this fail to communicate is that it's okay to prefer Western media as long as you're not a dick about it. Western media appeals to Western audiences, so that's what ended up dominating.

I know controversy drives engagement, but man, was today's video a bad idea? Between the amount of people I've had to ban, and the risk of the video being taken down, my mind is racing right now.

It's a morbid thought, but sometimes I wonder if I went off the deep end, how many of my social media posts would end up in a hypothetical Down The Rabbit Hole style documentary about me.

I saw the numbers that my video today was doing, I opened my comment section for 3 seconds, and I decided that I'm going to be going offline for the day.

I was introduced to Regular Show back in 2018. I watched episodes here and there since, but rn, it's the thing I put on in the other window while editing Two things 1. I'm sad I missed out on it when it was new 2. At this point, I reflexively skip ahead whenever Mordecai is talking to Margaret

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

No seriously, I speculated in my video today that Sony is trying to flood the zone by announcing every possible bit of bad PR at the same time. That might work for politicians, but it doesn't work for consumer products.

Considering I wasn't planning on buying the next PlayStation console, the news that came out today only seals it.

Never assume that someone is your enemy until they give you a reason. There are plenty of evil people in this world, but there are far more who are just normal people. The moment you treat someone as an enemy who isn't one, you give them a reason to be an enemy of you and everything you stand for.

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

One thing I've never really been clear on, is it a bad look to respond to criticism? Cuz I feel like if somebody is saying something about you that is patently untrue, there shouldn't be any problem with clarifying. But a lot of people seem to interpret that as defensiveness.

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I got a lot of funny responses to my Sly 4 video, but the one that takes the cake are the people saying "you've been talking about this game for 10 years, get over it" I have not been covering the game for 10 years, I have however talked about the game a few times in over 10 years Big difference

That awkward moment where you sort of defraud a multi-billion dollar company. Yes, I'm returning that computer I bought yesterday because I wanted to buy a different model, not because I accidentally broke the vram after owning the computer for 3 hours.

It's just occurred to me that I beat E33 a year after it came out, and I somehow never had the act 2 twist spoiled for me. If disassociation was an Olympic event I'd take home the gold easily.

The new Mortal Kombat movie is fuckin sick. That moment where Shao Kahn crushes (redacted)'s head had me in stitches. I fuckin called it.

Watching this Montreal Canadiens versus Buffalo Sabers series is tough because Buffalo is my favorite non Canadian team. But I'm also bound by wanting to see Canada win a Stanley Cup for the first time in 30 years. Why did this matchup have to be the quarter finals?

Alright, video number 200 is finished, uploaded, and ready to be released when I feel like it. 3 hours 41 minutes. To this day, nobody has correctly guessed what it is. Even though I've mentioned 1. It's a topic already covered on my channel 2. The word "time" being repeated multiple times

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

I didn't realize so many people would have found my anecdote in my video today as alarming as they did Yeah, I lived in close proximity to a drug addict in 2014, yeah I slept with a knife under my pillow because I was afraid they would try something. That was a lifetime ago. Thanks for the concern

070

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

So yeah, my 200th video is going to run in excess of three and a half hours. Excuse me while I melt into an oleaginous puddle for the rest of the month.

Holy shit this is funny, I made a video nearly 5 years ago about how Star Fox needs to move on from Star Fox 64, because the last two revivals were a remake, and a reimagining of it, and the last new Star Fox thing was in 2005. Lo and behold, the new Star Fox game is another reimagining of SF64.

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I think I'd like to take another stab at a couple of my older videos. In particular, my Volition Retrospective and my Spider-Man 2000/Enter Electro video. I didn't research thoroughly enough for the Volition video, and the Spider-Man video was rushed out to coincide with Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

051

Tactical Bacon Productions @realtbp.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

So the finished audio for my 200 video is 185 minutes. Including an extended cameo, it'll make sense once the video is out. Boy I can't wait for this shit to be done. Why do I need 185 minutes for a video? Because the subject matter of the video can only be described with this gif.

I guarantee you that 99% of the people who are bitching about the topic of abortion in Invincible are bad faith actors who have never actually watched the show, or read the comic.

Now that I have my own place, there will come a day where I adopt a couple of cats. I once had a dream where I rescued a black cat and couldn't figure out a name, so I defaulted to "Buddy" because that's my generic greeting, and the name stuck But I can't think of a good name that would go with it

I would like to make a few declarative statements about art styles in gaming. Because the topic frustrates me. 1. Realism is an art style 2. There are more art styles than simply realistic or cartoony. There are a lot of styles within these two categories 3. Neither is inherently better or worse

I saw there was some discourse on Twatter about why YouTube game reviewers don't do the whole "comedy focused, skit-filled, story driven" reviews with like, evil doppelgangers and such anymore Simple answer, we outgrew that shit. If you don't enjoy making it, it won't be sincere. Just how it is.
