What a damn abomination
What a damn abomination
Chickens are assholes. They'll drop a mystery box then never deliver satisfying answers about it.
The dev modded a few retro phones so they could only call 1 number then sold em on eBay www.pcgamer.com/kentucky-rou...
I would break someone's leg and watch their life crumble from debt to get my hands on one of those Kentucky Route Zero phones
Go ahead, google it. use the quotes at the ends.
"also thanks to these fine folks"
Youll get massive amounts of results of game presskits.
This is how i found oodles of games not "officially" announced.
But google alerts no longer works. And presskit() isnt used as much anymore.
The phrase that worked the most?
"also thanks to these fine folks"
It's in the credits at the bottom of every presskit() so it doesnt change per dev.
Key word is "made this page." didnt need content in it. Just had to exist on the net and allow google to scrape it. devs tend to like to get sites up for their games.
I learned about so many games long before their "official" announcements.
Helped me with research and prioritizing what to cover.
i set up alerts for code and phrases that it uses- unique phrases- so that when google sees it and alerts me, it was an actual brand new game press kit 99% of the time. Very few false positives.
So i learned about games the moment the dev made this page.
Made my job so much easier at a time when press kits were practically an afterthought for devs.
@ramiismail.com made a simple free press kit template thingy long ago that devs could put on their site, it's called presskit()
It was a fantastic tool cuz devs would include trailers, screenshots, logos and other marketing material. Devs could even set up key requests in it.
I utilized google alerts to monitor specific keywords on the internet so it would send me links. If you study the way devs talk and what tools they use, you could take advantage of that.
I used several types of alerts, but one especially was lucrative.
I'm gonna share a trick i used to do to discover games as a youtuber. It no longer works cuz google alerts is shit and the code itself isnt as common anymore.
I use to be quite good at discovering games. Many times i was first to cover a game all because of this strategy.
if Major League Baseball had a fucking spine, they'd bar the celebration of the military from all their games this season.
this is fuckin disgusting. I know this is just one of many MANY cases we've seen the past couple months, but this is just absurd.
We let racist losers in and it will take years, decades to wash the stink off.
Let's sit down in a cozy valley and sip on #Wanderstop which releases today!

Makes me sad that this isnt bigger news. This dude should be celebrated on every media outlet right now instead of our political trash. Dude was an actual living hero.

Gotta say, recording games is getting harder and harder for me. my stamina lets me do about 1-2 hours in a session. i can push myself to 3-4 but i will absolutely pay for that.
Not sure what to do.
this sucks.
I team up with @modee.bsky.social and @mollyciousintent.com to cover the alien invasion in #TheHeadliners

If you'd like to know more about #iam8bit, see here. A history of scamming their customers and overall shitty anti-consumer service/policies.

DO NOT PAY for this service. They take the money but they do not honor it. When you ask why, they stop responding to emails and then block you on twitter.
It's a scam. They scammed me and many others.
Their support was so god awful in trying to resolve this issue. They just don't care.
Good news: i'm back
Bad news: i'm sick. dunno if it's covid yet, i'm gonna give it more time before i test. but this will surely delay vids for a few more days.
I was really looking forward to messing with some aliens today, but not in the cards.
Not gonna get another vid out for probably another week.
More alien watching bunker shenanigans, but not until next week!
