channel update august 20th

This has been some weird days. 

First off, I am so glad I am done going through all the Cube Escape videos and timestamping them. that was a chore! I am super upset at Youtubes stupid 5000 spaces description box, cause I simply could not fit CASE 23 into that, no matter what I did, I had way past 7000 spaces, and I couldn't shave more off - so I had to just link to this blog, and it is what it is - And well that is one of the reasons I have it after all. To write that which there is no space for on YT. 

Alright so I edited a little in the games to be played, cause I simply didn't feel like taking on 'darkness under my bed' right now, cause that is a massive damn project, and I just did those cube escape videos, plus Samsara room, which I never did add to the games coming - but I did play it and is trying to make myself do the walkthrough/timestamps for, I think it will be up sometime late next week. And then I am taking a little break from Rusty Lake, no matter how much I love that franchise (I have all sorts of merch, like cups and posters, i shit you not). 

And I tried playing the demo for Slay the princess and I absolutely HATED every second, so I won't be playing that, and I deleted the unedited video, just because I couldn't even make myself finish the demo. I am not digging the lame jokes! I am all for comedy horror, It's awesome when done right, but I don't feel this is it. With that said, I do have another game from the devs, that I played the first part of, and later bought in whole. That I am planning on doing soon'ish, and that game was awesome! 

I replayed Dark Sails and I recalled it was great! it was not, sometimes your mind tricks you. Or maybe it's because the genre has gotten better, one thing is for sure, it didn't age with any form of grace. It's clunky, and ugly. The controls are mad, and the fixed angles are just incredibly annoying! Not creepy as they are supposed to be. 

And the stupid text is some hand cursive that no one can read, so I have no damn idea what is going on, cause it's just chicken scratches. I later found that someone made a patch for it, so you can actually READ the damn notes, and I wish I had known that before I made the video. And the game does one of my least favorite things, it has a HUGE info dump in the last cutscene... sigh! 

And even then it makes no sense what so ever. I wante to show you the other two endings, but the game just crashed over my save file, and I was not about to go play it again from the middle, and I think you're all going to be fine without, just find another video with some masochist who managed to record the other endings. I have to agree with some of the critics on Steam, it's mad that they are still asking full price for this piece of shit game in 2022.

And then I finished the 3 parts of Tiny Bunny. I know they are planning 5 and I am super hyped! I loved that to bits! I would love to read the short story that it's made from, but it's only available in Russian, and that is not exactly one of my many fantastic skills. Reading Russian that is. 

I hate that Russian horror is rarely translated, cause they are so fuckin good at it! 

For a long, long time ago, I was gifted the game Paranormal. I played some of it, and I think I gave up or something. But I tried again, and now I know why. Steam wouldn't let me upload my reveiw, which is often what happens when it's a negative one - so you get it here;

I must be doing something wrong... [spoiler] can you even get to the attic? and what is it with the shadow? and the lady that sort of breathes on you till you pass out and forget how a cam corder works? and why do you have such a terrible car, when you can afford a house like that? what's with the ouija board that doesn't work, and who makes a headstone for your dog? Also dude, take the phone and nope out of there.  

Nah You know, I don't get it, we have a premis that is "i am not doing this for internet fame, i hope something paranormal happens", and the entire house comes alive, one would think that would be enough right? and who goes to bed after that? in the same house one might add. I feel like the pacing and the premis doesn't really fit, and why are there notes from 84? who wrote those? I would be a little more surprised to find someone elses diary pages about my house... [/spoiler]

it's a weird dumpster fire and I have absolutely no idea what is going on at any point in the game.

It reminds me of something I have been thinking about, I mean - I don't get it when people downvote a video that doesn't have anything controversial in it. I mean if I did vlogs or something, yeah you could downvote because of my opinion or whatever. I did that too! As you see above I am not above leaving negative feedback if I think it's deserved. And in this case, it's a product that you paid money for, which again makes me feel more justified in leaving negative feedback. 

I removed the like/dislike ratio from the beginning, cause I think it's a stupid feature. Like it, fine. don't like it - move on, the internet is a big place. And if something really grinds on your nerves, let the uploader know, tell them why this video made you go kick a toddler or a kitten. But the dislike button is just such a ridicolous tool, good for nothing but to frustrate the uploader. 

If people dislike the fact that some of my videos have long periods of time where I stand still, thinking or going over my notes on my desk in RL, then I am terribly sorry, I am trying to remember to pause the game when I do that, just so it's easier for me to find the places and catch it in editing, but sometimes it slips past me, and it is what it is. I hardly think my puzzle game videos are made to watch from start to end anyways, they are walkthroughs. Only the visual novels are for the purpose of sitting down watching in their entirety.

And lastly I started digging into the itch.io folder - it's going to be a blast ;)
