I like making mods and videos games and videos about them https://www.youtube.com/@xen-42 https://store.steampowered.com/developer/xen-42

thank you youtube for changing how views are counted thus making them a useless metric for comparing videos but then also still using views as the main metric for comparing the performance of videos

The themes for the 6th mod jam are Past and Future! The restriction is Time Loop! To follow the restriction you must use the time loop as a mechanic in your mod in some way. Will you have time-specific events, puzzles that take place over multiple loops, or some other third thing? That's up to you!

I love when I post a new youtube video and immediately lose subscribers (wait no I don't love that) ig that's just how it is if you don't stick to one central topic for a channel!

was expecting the Fallout show to eventually touch on the Canada annexation lore given the modern political climate but damn I did not think they were gonna go so hard

Delivery guy left my package outside with the box ripped open, thankfully it was an astrophysics textbook so I guess nobody wanted to steal it

takes a while to get used to when Steam randomly decides to recommend my own game to me (it is not bloodlines 2)

four years running of Outer Wilds being in my top two most played games on Steam, modding is a curse from which I can never escape

smh youtube you gotta bump those numbers up if you really want me cramming midrolls in, lets get to 300-500% then we're talking

Youtube Studio screenshot that reads "Ideas for you: You could earn 31%-45% more. Showing mid-roll ads during your videos could improve your channel's earnings"

Decided to get Jurassic World Evolution 3 and the EULA is like "the game is licensed to you, not sold, even if sellers use language such as 'buy now'" video game ownership really is cooked huh

Imagine getting this heated about a Minecraft mod that adds too many dye recipes. Just don't craft the dye then what do you mean, it's going to be okay man

Youtube comment: Can you fucking cut it out with the damm dye recipes?! Give me one in this mod, ok, give me two and thats kinda redundant, give me three and you have to be kidding me, It is so lazy and boring. if you can't come up with two interesting features for most of these, then just don't bother doing what a random ass book says.

Some day instead of reuploading a Youtube video unlisted 3 times and continuously finding issues I need to fix I'll just like, actually get it right on the first try! Or alternatively find the issues before uploading. One of the two.

Is there a way I can get Youtube to stop recommending me videos with AI generated thumbnails or is clicking on "Don't recommend channel" just my life now

boy I sure do love all of Youtube's random AI features they slather all over my videos that I now have to manually opt out of on all 70+ of my videos because there's no automatic way to do it
