Stream's live, folks: playing Final Fantasy X and talking about...well, whatever comes up

I'm sure there won't be anything relevant to the current day in this RPG about wars started by people in power with religious overtones under false pretenses and such

nothing at all

a cartoon character says " who wants to play video games ? " Alt: a cartoon character says " who wants to play video games ? "

I haven't had time to play any Next Fest demos, so I'm gonna do some Steam browsing and wishlisting on stream!

(I'll also probably download too many demos, lol)

Tell me what games I should check out! Feel free to link someone else's game or your own :)

SOME GENERAL TIPS FOR STEAM GAME DEMOS
(from someone who has played so many of them)

Note: These tips also apply to games in general! They're good tips!

If I can add to this from a streamer POV:

Don't default to VSYNC off and UNLIMITED FRAME RATE

First off, 90% of games don't need this in any way and secondly, all it means is the first thing that happens when I boot up your demo is screaming as my camera gets frame-y

I was 1/5 into writing this & thought, yeah I need to incorporate more rigorous Black political consciousness in my analytical work going forward.

I can’t believe we’re still having these same conversations.

I can’t believe we still have to wonder if you’re laughing at us and degrading us when we’re not in the room.

I can’t believe we haven’t burned this fucking place down.

1/5

So. The intro has an NPC offer you booked gas station nuts. I replied "I'm allergic".

This has mattered, and came up multiple times in that start.
You also can talk to animals, and give a fluffy baby a nest.

Buy this game.
