For the last time: all our videos are 100% human made. That voice is MY VOICE. I'm a trained audio engineer with nearly 2 decades experience. GenAI is a curse that rips off artists and both of us think it's derivative, predatory slop. Feel free to clown on anyone that says otherwise. -Bawss

Been thinking about and getting (ir)rationally angry at AI again until it dawned on me that these AI ghouls will never feel the satisfaction of writing a very good sentence. “Uuuh but look at this big titty Garfield I just prompt—“ Silence, dipshit, I just wrote a very good sentence with my brain

this is how catching up on fantasy book series in my 30s feels like. the series debuted in the mid aughts, 20 mainline novels and 5 short story collections deep, and I'm like "haha, that Bayaz guy is kind of a jerk, am I right guys???"

Archolos script is finished. By my rough estimations, it should have a runtime of about an hour(ish). Expect the video to drop sometime in April. Now if you'll excuse me, I have three more books from The First Law series to read

I’m on book 6 out 9 (nice) of the First Law series. I’ve been reading nothing else but the First Law for the past 6 months. Say one thing for thesummerofmark, say that once he really gets into a new IP, he can’t stop until every piece of content from that universe has been thoroughly devoured

25 hrs into Pathologic 3 and I still feel like I'm BARELY scratching the surface. Probably didn't help that I played 5 of those hours under the influence (hah) of the nastiest flu I had in my 33 years of existence on this earth anyways, here's me debating the dialectics of scarecrows with a child

The biggest improvement Pathologic 3 brought is that The Bachelor is such a pretentious, catty doofus. 8 out of 10 dialogue lines are literally him being like 💅💅💅 Almost makes you forget that it's a game about saving a backwater steppe town from a (somewhat) sentient plague

News Tower might be one of the best tycoon/management games I’ve ever played. Tight, well-paced progression, great setting, and the headline combo system where you combine news stories with the same theme on the page to boost sales is so, so satisfying

None of my videos show with restricted mode on. None. Zero. It's like I never existed on this damn platform. It's not like I make any significant money from YT, but it's pretty depressing seeing 5 years of work thrown in the shitter by an AI that nobody asked for. Very cool, YouTube!

I think it's funny how Thief doesn't register as an old game to me - more like a game with retro graphics that just so happens to be 1000 years old

Here's me going through all stages of fear in this clip. Confusion. Morbid curiosity, as I backtrack to search for loot and check the source of the creepy laughter. And finally, "FUCK NOPE NOPE NOPE FUCK THIS" when I realize that the statue is moving. Thief: The Black parade is something else man

after all the mediocre games I've played in the last couple of months only to abruptly abandon, who would've thunk that the one game that will 100% absorb me would be an indie with 90s CRPG aesthetics. skald: against the black priory is a fucking gem
