59:10 Interesting that the Hatred video didn't get a mention. That was a tipping point for me, as games suddenly went from Art That Must Be Protected to suddenly having exceptions. I don't think anybody in 2026 would think Hatred is particularly controversial today

35:45 Before this strange defense of loot boxes, EC had a video in 2014 about how dangerous this exact practice was (Free to Play Is Currently Broken). James also put out a personal video about his struggles with gaming addiction (during the PATV era, I believe) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwI0...
I put this in the video comments, but I'll put it here too for discussion's sake:
13:20 Some of the money DID go to a developer, one of James' students. I played their demo at PAX West (it was a platformer where you had to advance using words from the MC's narration). Never heard about it again
As an EC fan from literally the very beginning, really appreciated someone diving into the hows and whys of the channel losing relevance. Also, had a hearty LOL at the "Here's the video you've all been waiting for me to talk about" and I literally never heard of it as I stopped watching around 2018
lrt I have been pwned. Handle changes aside, Kyra endorses the Buzzfeed-owned Chikn Nuggit account, which now has the her old buzzfeed handle
It's me! Don't worry!
Buzzfeed and I are currently talking and figuring stuff out.
I will update you on what happens as soon as I can. But I promise, I'm still never using AI ever no matter what happens.
Cannot thank you all enough for your support on this.
Well damn. Also thank you
Yeah uh if you're gonna pop in into my Shitpost Shop with a take like that I'm gonna need to see a receipt
Friendly reminder that this post is from the fake account owned by Buzzfeed, and Kyra's actual account had its buzzfeed handle removed after she protested (link below). They simply copy-pasted her words onto the corporate account and gave it her buzzfeed handle

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
This is the Chikn Nuggit account that Kyra is in control of. The buzzfeed custom domain was removed from it when Kyra left her protest message.
The other one, which now has this one's old "buzzfeed" handle, copy-pasted her message about "open dialogue."

Ep. 153: Returning to the Wasteland with Nuclear Throne
Rob and Zach are joined by @jwaaaap.com, @jukio.bsky.social, and @kissakolme.bsky.social to talk about all that went into the recent 10th-anniversary Update 100 for their classic twin-stick roguelite shooter.

The six games in the bottom-left I'd call "Tryhard corner," because I have a medal in Smash, I have many high scores in my state for DDR, and Valve shooters were much of my young adulthood. There's a category I call "two nickels," but which games and what they have in common are a personal secret :)

No worries! I figured it'd work if you had a non-adult list going, but if the focus is on the adult stuff, then yeah, best to keep them off. Thanks for the consideration!
It glorifies nostalgia (a tv star helps the protags with their school project)
It's anti-authority (the teacher/MC's dad are assholes)
It puts the military in a bad light
The MC can engage in violence and face no punishment

itch thumbnail for Defeat the Darkness DATE! featuring (clockwise from top-left) Waldo, Isaac, Danish, and Milia.
Sure would be nice if the thumbnail/preview LOADED
The MC in my newest game (bottom-right of thumbnail) is androgynous as fuck and only adopts a gender to please authority. There's some romance in it, as well as angst over constantly moving to a new town
