Oh, I’ve seen this movie.

I think Bethesda doesn’t crunch anymore.

Fantastic news for the devs!

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

So people are morons?

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Arma 3?

Haven’t played it personally, I’m not big on milsim games, but it’s got a decent following. Might not have the accessibility options though.

I’ve heard good things about Battlebits, for what it’s worth it seems decent.

Nice list, definitely gonna download some of these demos.

The Alters looks really cool, and What the Car seems like a fun time.

Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?

They do. There are plenty of indie Devs.

The reason why everyone doesn’t do it is because it requires significant capital to be able to support a dev team through production for a number of years.

Not to mention they will still have to deal with publishers potentially fucking them over, as shown with the Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco.

Usually analog sticks, but it depends on the game. Something like shovel knight is better with the dpad.

I just happen to play more games that are better with analog sticks.

Well you have to consider it’s 7 years old. It was incredible in 2016.

Balatro, the Joker Poker has me deep in it’s clutches.

Love it.

Such an incredible gaming experience with absolutely no words.

I also love Abzū, which is kind of like a sequel to it, but also not really.

I did try and get my girlfriend (non-gamer) to play Journey and she did not enjoy it at all, which made me realise a large part of why I love it is that it doesn’t hold your hand, and it assumes you are adept at gaming in some way.

Looks pretty cool. Hope it lives up to the original and is successful for the studio.

Love when that mult mults.

It’s crazy how I feel like I barely notice the music when playing but it just pops into my head throughout the day.

I had to play on mute the other day when my headphones died and it was like a completely different game with out the background music and the dings to give me that dopamine rush.

Call me crazy, but I think if a game can be “retired” by Warner Brothers (or another megacorp), and the dev doesn’t control it anymore, then it’s not really an “indie”.

Because YouTube and Twitch are notorious for reducing ad payments or demontising creators. Have you forgotten about the adpocalypse already? Patreon also increased their fees with very little notice in 2019.

It’d honestly be an idiotic move to not take a video sponsor if they’re offered, because that is guaranteed and likely upfront, supplemental income to support the creation of videos.

Nebula is collectively creator owned, so it’s the only one of those that won’t fuck over creators for more money, but as I said, not a lot of people are paying for subscriptions. It’s small, the per-creator payouts are probably even less than Youtube.

And finally, the real answer: Man’s gotta eat. Simple.

All of that considered, I didn’t even see the sponsor ads you’re complaining about because I have Sponsorblock skip them automatically.

Well you can watch it ad free on Nebula, as linked in the video description. I honestly can’t hate on him for that decision, he needs to eat as much as the rest of us, and unless we’re paying for a Nebula subscription, video sponsors are the only way to do that.
