- Comment on How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary? 3 weeks ago:
I’d second the fact that it’s really difficult to do it, and that you genuinely need to enjoy the process. More likely than not, you won’t “make it” and you’ll just be doing it as a hobby. Though, more than anything, you just need to do it. You might not know what to say today, tomorrow, or next month, but eventually you’ll find a rhythm and know what works for you. There’s no way to find that rhythm if you aren’t making anything.
My source for this is the fact that I’ve been doing YouTube for nearly 2 years now, creating weekly videos. I think they’ve been of pretty good quality for about 14 or so months now. I have just over 500 subs which, while I’m super proud of and thankful for that, isn’t even enough to enable ads on my channel. I also specifically chose a niche that’s a tad easier to stand out in, as the market for gaming videos is so so so saturated and difficult to stand out in, as the barrier for entry is so low.
I don’t mean to discourage, and of course wish you the best of luck, but I do want to share a realistic view on it based on my experiences being a small potato YouTube creator.

He wasn’t just critical of it, he spread misinformation about it. It was wild to watch someone be so completely and utterly wrong, then double and triple and quadruple down on it.

Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this
Sweet sweet irony.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 2 months ago:
If it’s random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?
Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who’s an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren’t as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.
Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.

I’m going to go look for a link to share.

- Comment on What are the best games you can play on a laptop? 8 months ago:
Not really an RPG, more of a action adventure, but Far Cry 3 will probably run well enough. I played it on a much worse laptop when I was in highschool.

Me? None. I just play for fun, I’d lose bad.
If there was going to be a game I’d show up for it’d be Forza Horizon, I’ve got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven’t been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.
- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Outer Wilds 1 year ago:
I have beat the game. I remember the gist of the solution, but I have no idea how to pull it off any more. I can’t wait to play it again, possibly with the VR mod.

Yeah, those two are debatable at best, but the other points sure make a lot of sense, and definitely have value. I say this as a SteamDeck user who never even considered the Ally for myself.

This is a weird mentality. Competition in the space is good, even if the current “default” thing is really good.

My second question was “Is it larger than a microwave” and it gave it to me. Sorta BS tbh. Idk if I’d have ever gotten it if it’d answered that question as “no” like it should’ve.

I asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…
- Comment on Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions? 1 year ago:
I asked
“Is it living” 👎
“Is it larger than a microwave?” Wow you got it!
I would consider the answer to that question a no, not a “You solved it!” A microwave is not larger than a microwave.

I played Moss and loved it. Moss II is sitting in my library waiting for my attention. I need to get around to it.
