I always find it funny when someone tells me to "get lost" when they're commenting on... my channel.

I'm so tired of talking to someone online and they go from zero em dashes at all to suddenly at least one in every reply...

"Destroy ramps! Buildings shouldn't be designed for people in wheelchairs and those who can't walk, they just make buildings worse. You should experience the building as the architects intended!" This is how some people talk about accessibility options in video games.

Unfortunately the em and en-dash are ruined — just see how suspicious this looks now. Even normal dashes in sentences - we all just see it now. There's a particular 'problematic' game out there and 9/10 of the people who support it reply to me with em-dashes. Weird but also telling.

People always seem to forget that Starcraft 2 cost $100 Million to produce ($150M in today's money). Then they see a new game that has like $6 Million in funding today and get confused why it doesn't look as refined...

People in the UK really don't understand that for the bus AC to keep everything cool you have to close the windows huh?

People continue to not believe how old I am. I just got accused (again) of being a zoomer pretending to be a millennial.

In today's "every game is a copy" investigation, Lords of the Realm 1 (1994) because that was "back when devs made original games instead of just copying". Ah yes, the Fields of Glory, Stronghold, Centurion Defender of Rome, Castles, Warlords, Genghis Khan, and more... 'clone'.

Sometimes people say things like "Dead game! No one will give money to Paradox!" I don't know what world they live in because Paradox is Crusader Kings 3, Hearts of Iron 4, Cities Skylines 2, Age of Wonders 4, Victoria 3, Stellaris... Some of the most played games in the world, you know?

I made a guide video where essentially all you had to do was download an exe file from a website and install it like normal... and I just got told that's "wizardry" and requires "voodoo mastery". Has tech literacy really gotten THAT bad?...

When someone hates a game but it has positive reviews on Steam they often claim that the developers "delete bad reviews". They genuinely believe devs can delete thousands and thousands of negative reviews freely, secretly, and without consequence. They of course have zero evidence for any of this.

Reminder that 'the internet' is just other people's computers.

Stronghold 4 just got revealed! We were sponsored [ad] so I can show off what the game is now: youtu.be/7yvK3e9Jkt0 Have a watch to see a breakdown of the new gameplay and ask any question so I can check and answer that for you.

Just so you know, this is how I toast a burger bun at home and if a burger restaurant does it worse than this I get severely disappointed.

Made a post about YouTube membership that outlines some things you might want? youtube.com/post/UgkxKdh...

We're live streaming now with a long day of weekend city building! Come join: www.twitch.tv/GamerZakh Follow there to keep up! Also if you don't know, I've been posting bonus videos on Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/GamerZakh (some free public ones too)

For a long time people have said Cities Skylines 1 was a 'success' while Cities Skylines 2 'flopped', but I didn't actually check this until just now. If you align the playercounts to release, CS1 and CS2 essentially are performing exactly the same as each other.

You've been asking for unique city builders that commit to their themes, so here's Life Below: youtu.be/3mTBTk0ofUU [ad] It's launching today and it really takes the environment into how you have to build your 'city'. Check it out.

So many people say things like, "this game was such a disappointment! What were the devs thinking!?"... about a game that's in like the top 3 most played games of the genre. Age of Empires 4, HoMM Olden Era, Civ 7, Cities Skylines 2...

Wait is this the first time modern Firaxis has properly acknowledged the existence of Civ 2 Test of Time?

People talk about the 90s like there weren't 'early access' games... no what we did was just re-release the exact same game but change the name so you had to buy it again. Civ 2 then 'Multiplayer Gold Edition' Moonbase re-released as 'Lunar Command' SimCity 2000 'Special Edition'

Lol got asked to fill out a questionnaire and it began with the reassuring clause of "The contents of this study are confidential and may not be shared without our written approval"... 'Our' approval? Not mine?

One of the most frustrating things when talking about games is all the people who don't understand what 'concurrent' players means. They see "40,000 players online" and ask "How can the game have sold 500,000 copies but fewer than 10% of people are playing it!? Must be fake sales numbers!"

The source of some of the confusion in the HoMM lore...

What I've found is the more successful something is the more hate comments it gets, meaning a ton of hate comments for a game before release is actually an indicator of a potential hit. When a game is obviously bad, even haters don't bother because there's no one to argue with lol

Have you seen a tycoon sim mix in survival colony gameplay? We were sponsored to check out Above The Snow and it's launch has been well received, so have a watch to see if you're into it: youtu.be/yQ4_eS32uP4 Thanks!

It seems 9/10 people who say "Tropico is just releasing the same game again and again!" have never played Tropico 6.

Someone questioned my knowledge of city building games so I sent them this video: youtu.be/nQys8W8JyOs They haven't replied since unfortunately. Still, it's the 'best' video I've ever made.
