November 2025 update will be in video format.

As I grow, so does my patience, but mostly knowledge... and sometimes, change is for the better, but I won't be naive about it. I'll also be addressing things I've noticed and need calling out.

Stay tuned, and thank you for your continued support.

Haven't done a monthly update in some time, but let me get something out of the way first:

Due to recent activity that's 2+ years old at this point, and ongoing due to lurkers, dormant accounts and/or surveillance accounts, I'm going to start making comments AND channels magically disappear if this individual is brought up in any capacity. I'm also going to start enabling subscriber only mode to keep my streams focused on the game and my commentary, and not outdated drama that's made worse than it was. It was foolish for what I did and comments I made can be seen as harsh but this excrement has made it his entire legacy to out me as some predator when it's simply not the case (even tried to add me on Steam of all things). Children can be tried as adults and I'm tired of having to explain my wrongdoings that I've long disavowed, but this undated excrement made it worse than most channels who actively hunt their prey in games like Roblox. Don't deny it. There is also no redemption from people like this. Don't bring it up, I don't bring it up. Anyone sly enough to try and weasel around this will be dealt with as they come.

Also, I'm going to be making changes to the Discord server to suppress possible surveillance accounts as the latest person who joined has not said squat and seldomly comes online. That would not be allowed on most servers, so I'm giving this one warning: Answer when pinged, and if inactive for 7 days, be kicked and try joining when you can make conversation like everyone else. You get three chances before being banned due to inactivity. I get not everyone likes using Discord let alone using it, but if you can chat up a storm in chat, you can do the same in the server YOU joined. Also, if you're a newcomer and lie about the 18+ warning, you're being banned on the server and removed from this channel, no questions asked.

Now that's out of the way, Diablo 3 is finally concluded, and Metal Gear Solid VR Missions should be wrapped up, so expect other games for a change, mainly from my backlog whose list never ends, as well as some sessions of simply finding cheats within RetroArch for fun and/or glory. I have primarily chosen to play GTA Online as it's "a game anyone can join and play" for filler, yet Kings still persist I do Battle Royale. Screw that. Maybe if I'm feeling antsy, Black Ops 1 at best, but don't expect me to play a game I dislike just to please a nonexistent audience. I also chose to hide the king as I don't want to see false praise from a king when consideration is not a one lane street. Blame YouTube for not allowing to simply vanish comments without making the channel go poof but false promises are even worse than not making one, and I shouldn't have to explain why.

Other rants are in the works and possibly other video series, but I don't want to talk a big game and not deliver but I should have something for those who want to see more than just rants. I do want to at least see Monaco 2 to the end so I'll start there and see what other games I can play on or off stream.

That's all for now.

Thank you for your continued support.

This article gave me an aneurysm

Which is why this will be the next featured Article Response.

This is going to be the first and last time I bring this up because it's not worth the video headache (which is ironic because it took one name drop and giving a bad name in the least tame way possible by my standards to make these turn of events make it worse than it really is), but a recent livestream interaction has likely caused dated excrement to resurface. It's too good for this to be a coincidence so to avoid any possible damage, I am tightening the grip on Discord invite links and will require legitimate validation to avoid general chat being mass spamed and/or image posting that would no doubt go against TOS. You cannot tell me actions of my own that is self admitted to be in bad taste but a certain someone is making it worse than whatever BS spews from the AMC or whatever nonsense the popular folks do behind the scenes. I've since moved on but I am making myself clear that I will not let my sins rise once more when I've made sure not to mess up again. You've heard of forgiven but not forgotten, but this is soon to be 2 years old at this point.

Making accounts on the same day just to leave otherwise fair criticism, but this is the individual who wants to make me out to be some sort of loser creep when it's not the case, so it is not only not valid, but just seeking attention.

Further discussion of this topic is going to lead to a ban/ignore. I'm not going to silence valid criticism unless it is in bad faith, but these are either kids or manchildren who have nothing better to do than to surfance 2 year old drama and I'm not having it. Whatever redemption you're seeking has been long self redeemed but you'll make my points about crazy people who can't handle opinions and will do anything just to prove a point look more correct day by day.

On a slightly less positive note, while Veadotube Mini works well, I've noticed that because the Elgato has a video delay, using Veadotube Mini while playing console games is going to make the PNG out of sync, so it will be reserved for PC gaming streams. I do hope it was an interesting addition but unless there's a way to delay that too, it just won't work.

Now that I aired out my dirty laundry, I'll get back to doing literally anything else.

This has got to be one of the most hypocritical statements of the year since everyone unironically falls head over heels to the likes of 2B and whatever waifu of the week Elden Ring has. This really is the modern day "too much water" con and I'm not having it when people will defend the likes of 2B and (not so) Stellar Blade.

This can be a valid statement but you all went against this nature, so a video rant will be in the works, but there are going to be smaller projects in-between the big one to hold people off.

The interaction was INSANE

Thank you everyone who stumbled upon this channel, and even more thanks for those who subscribe. Seriously, it means a lot to me.

Now that the game is out, I'd like to think this video aged pretty well.

"But being critical--" shut up. Just because I say it doesn't make it less truthful. It was an objective downgrade, and somehow the PS1 version of THPS4 is more faithful to whatever this is.

Exaggerated points but serious message video time

My favorite kind of content on YouTube

Now that Stellar Blade has gotten a PC port, would it be worthwhile to follow up on this video or let sleeping female dogs lie?

I have other projects in the works but I can always use some user feedback

It seems my latest rant has caused up a stir amongst fans and fanboys alike. Seems like almost everyone one of you left a dislike because I said bad things about the perfect ages.

I hide my dislikes because it proves nothing, even if it is still engagement. Whether you think my opinion is voided simply because I didn't play the game doesn't change there are fans amonst you who are in fact, fanboys and was the whole point of the video. That cannot be disputed or argued just because I say it. I have no interest in playing Dark Ages but somehow I can't dislike a game further than I already have but people will have no problem with their own bias adjacent to the argument. Sit down.

Can't say for sure how long traffic will come my way but for those who left reasonable criticism and/or actually gave positive reception despite the odds, I thank you.
