One guy in my comments: "So sick of people performatively saying they didn't use AI." Several other people in the comments: "Hit subscribe as soon as you said no AI." Even just at a cynical marketing level being loudly anti AI is the way to go.
if you're using AI to make your videos why the fuck would i watch your videos? and i'm not even saying that from an anti-AI standpoint (although yes fuck AI), i'm saying it from a "there are 2350820 other channels also putting out generic-ass personalityless drivel i could watch instead" standpoint
Time for another morning gamedev hangout. Will I actually write some code today or is it just more brainstorming? Who cares, you'll get to see my face and hear my voice, and that should be enough. twitch.tv/alienbob and/or youtube.com/@alienboblives

*browsing Steam* Ohh~ this looks interesti—AI CONTENT DISCLOSURE Never mind...
An insane video game-related Lost Media find has quietly popped up on YouTube. Two episodes of "Say Powww!", a 1979 game show about video games that only aired in some markets. People in studio and over the phone played Intellivision (!!) games. Predates Starcade!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=29tJ...
Bob's videos are always good but this is one of the most compelling videos I've seen in a minute.

As predicted, some extremely vile comments are starting to trickle in on this one. And no one will ever see them or the accounts that post them on my channel again :)

Remember that time Charlie Sheen starred in a mid-90s movie as a SETI nerd who looked like Gordon Freeman and unraveled an alien conspiracy? Would you believe they made an adventure game out of it? Live now at twitch.tv/alienbob and/or youtube.com/@alienboblives
New blog post time! This week's game is Knife Edge: Nose Gunner, an often overlooked N64 rail shooter that looks bland at first glance, but is actually very distinct within the console's library. It's atmospherically compelling, mechanically competent, and it even has 4-player co-op! #blog #gaming
Knife Edge: Nose Gunner
Knife Edge: Nose Gunner is exactly the kind of game I love to cover on this blog. You can tell because it’s one of the longest posts I’ve made in quite some time! It’s been sitting here all t…

There's an uncountable amount of sins for which the British deserve divine punishment, and shortening Jeremy to Jez has got to be in the top 10.
