funny that a tweet like this would get wildly misinterpreted lmao. since people don't get it, no lain isn't your femcel channer nihilist gf who smokes weed, she's a kid going through it, don't be weird
It's time we talk about why Style is Substance, in the only way that truly felt fitting. Directly peeking into the full on kaleidoscopic lens that is Hylics, a duo of games that wears boldly those feelings on their leather sleeves.

btw completely unrelated but it's really fucked that the BLAME! 3DCG prologue didn't end up being more than two 3-minutes shorts. like i know there's the netflix movie but it doesn't have THAT vibe
I don't fuck with folks calling it shallow to focus on a game's visual design, on its mood or on its "feel" rather than following purely mechanical game design ideologies. It's needlessly antagonistic and hella limiting for devs, make what you want the way you want.
From the ultra bleak, hyper slick cities of the 24th Ward, straight to the cozy paradisiac island of Lospass, we're once again heading into the forbidden territory that is Flower, Sun, and Rain. 🌼👁️

Comin' at you at 100 mph with the PS1's true forbidden masterpiece. Planet Laika, this space-themed esoteric journey through the psyche of the residents of Mars.

gotta get more experimental, gotta have your passion screaming loudly atop every fucking building. the more folks limit themselves to the generalized understanding of what a thing, what art "should be", the worse it feels
@adinolfi
It became harder over the last few years not to recommend emulation and modchips when games are no longer available on official virtual stores and resellers drop the "If you want to play .hack//Quarantine, it'll be 600 USD".

Seeing IGN drop the "If you've never heard of the game it probably isn't that good anyway" only to be followed by the insta-delete is actually factually hilarious.
Got inspired by Thor doing it so here's my "top" 100 ; not in any particular order besides like the first line or so. Just stuff that feels particularly "mara-core" and that I love very much
idk when but i'd really like to make a vid about games that FEEL like the summer. especially as someone who dreads that season, i feel like those games offer me a tiny window into what folks see when they speak so kindly of it

Been wanting to do something a little more "mainstream" and what's more mainstream than Galerians, the nearly forgotten yet iconic PS1 survival horror game that just oozes late 90s edginess. 👁️💉
#galerians
while we're on the topic of video games as art / gameplay discussions ; i like when games push your shit in. as a matter of fact i think it fucking owns to have friction in that sense. like idk, go play chulip then come back to me later
The Haunted PS1 community is back at it again with this year's demo disc ; a compilation of 20 games ready to grab you right by the skull. Do you have what it takes to survive the Spectral Mall ?

was watching Dragon's Heaven and one of the robots looked so close to Zeta Gundam's Baund Doc and yEP as a matter of fact same mecha designer, Makoto Kobayashi !
i jest but also like, i'd love to write my thoughts about the show as someone who literally grew in that sort of entanglement of youth and the commodification of the internet in daily households
An Occult Adventure. No other set of descriptors would do justice in representing something like ZELLE. A title that takes mad inspo' from all sorts of weird af point & click adventures, RPG Maker cult classics and a fine coat of religious imagery.

Y'know, I don't really talk about gender cause of the insane backlash most of us get for simply being ourselves but it's
#TransDayOfVisibility
so fuck it lmao. I'm Mara, nonbinary af niche youtuber, eye-strain enthusiast and professional shrimp collector. B)
Having now watched more "3D platformers are dying" / "the state of 3D platformers" videos than I would've liked to, I just wanna say this:
We need to let go of the notion that the genre is dead just because the classic platformer franchises don't get new games anymore.
(1/4)
csm discourse of the day dictates that i'm gonna get exponentially annoying about sexual content in art in upcoming vids. fuck you, you're getting at least two vids that touch on momcon, you're gonna learn that sex isn't yucky or weird and you're gonna be way better for it
okay last post about it but thank you all from the bottom of the heart, not only a great reminder that what i do has value but also the best b-day gift B)
the amount of comments on the new vid that's like "can't believe you call twitter x" like please... i'm talking about the /x/ board holy shit have the kids forgotten about it
what sucks the most regarding that is that even as someone who straight up does not talk about my gender identity online, the only bad comments i get on my stuff is usually transphobic shit. not ah your argument is weak, i disagree with it or whatever. it fucking BLOWS
smarter people than me have said this more eloquently but there's a sort of joke acceptability that you just don't get if you're visibly trans online. kinda weird how the ability to go "eh this isnt for me" just dissappears instantly for """no reason""" if the creator is gay
maybe i'm the weird one out there but i find the desire to neatly categorize every piece of art you smoke in a fine little box kinda crazy. like idk, genres / labels feel like such an outdated concept to me
I know sub counts ain't all that important in the grand scheme of things but it do be helping to feel like "wow, maybe i'm doing something alright with these vids".
Since From Soft ain't making any King's Field games lately, it's up to the fans to take on that mantle. Today, I'm presenting to you Lunacid, a dark fantasy dungeon crawler by
@Stylish_Kira
, one that reignited my love for the genre.

see, a lot of people romanticize the idea of dedicating yourself whole to your craft. and yeah that's super fair but sometimes it also means i gotta download an extra 26 episodes anime run and watch all of it to just make ONE unfunny joke mid-video
I lied, I don't have Netflix. Take off your shoes, we're gonna listen to Junji Inagawa tell us some scary stories over two obscure Japanese-Exclusive PS1 titles.
Long time coming but it's finally here, the Killer7 retrospective and love letter to what is basically one of the most important games in my eyes. 👁️💜

Hate to do this but gonna push back the Hylics vid a bit. Really wanna make it shine and trying to do it all within the next couple of days, ontop of juggling with irl would just make me rush and I can't do that shit to one of my favourite games. 😔
it's VERY hard not to come off as "oh i get it and you don't" but also like, it's not a particularly hard character to get a grasp on. a hard show to understand ? yeah totally ! but like there's a clear disconnect when empathy can't be afforded to someone in pain, right ?
I could never come up with the perfect few sentences to describe how much both Milk Inside and Milk Outside a Bag of Milk (by
@nkt_krkv
) mean to me. So hopefully this video will do a decent job at conveying that.

Just finished Automaton Lung by the recommendation of a couple of homies and damn... Rarely does a game actually succeeds in making me feel like I'm playing Yume Nikki for the first time again. Can't help but highly recommend it. :0
Made the grave mistake of starting up Chi no Wadachi and holy shit I've never been more rapidly oscillating between "he just like me fr" and crying. I think the last manga that gave me a reaction so viscerally similar was Oyasumi Punpun. Absolutely wild.
had some free time today so read from chapter 1 to 161 of chainsaw man in one go, was pretty cool ! very "i've read devilman as a kid" energy in the best way possible
