I make videos about all the strange, wonderful games you'll probably never see on gaming news outlets or on the shelf of a game store over at https://www.youtube.com/@CharlatanWonder . #1 hater of the word "content". Secretly a cooking show. Possibly a cat

Wizard Boy 1.1 is RELEASED!!! We've got upgrades, missions, an inventory, lots of visual updates, the Spy Lair, and more! TIME TO GET WIZARD. (Full writeup posted below.)

So this week's streaming schedule is gonna be a little different thanks to System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. Once it goes live we start immersing the sims are hard as humanly possible

www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1oe... New video: Dishonored is Two Different Games Depending on How You Play it. Premiering now!

www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon... It's the first day of summer so I've rounded up the crew to help us find something weird

So apparently literally all of you think this is what a dad looks like so c'mon down and watch this old man work and maybe we'll play some games if we get done early. www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon...

Last stream we chose so much violence in Dishonored we accidentally killed the internet. This stream we finished Dishonored and learn nothing from our past mistakes www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon...

www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon... We're gonna gather for whiskey and cigars and then finished out maximum violence playthrough of Dishonored

We're gonna talk about the new Thief game and then do some Dishonored www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon...

www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon... time to stream some immersive sim demos!

continuing the Dishonored Clean Hands run www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon...

Every time I go onto this site and it defaults to my discover feed I end up thinking to myself "this place certainly isn't doing anything to disprove the 'retirement home for Tumblr Millennials' label."

Why are these items even allowed near each other? I am having so many bad ideas.

It's time to take a look at the game Skin Deep that's anything but, youtu.be/O_mEWN0GQdg

trying something a little different today on stream A.K.A. This video's already been delayed once and it NEEDS to get done so we're gonna do an editing stream. www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon...

Ugh, I really want to move on from how that one guy I had to block on the other site for being a weirdo went crying to reddit about me but even after mods deleted that thread (which I did NOT ask them to do) there's been a big uptick of hateful comments on videos I made 5+ years ago (1/2)

The latest version of Premiere Pro was using 100% of my CPU so I did some digging. Turns out, Visual Analysis was the culprit. Switch that shit off! #editingvideo #adobepremiere #videoediting #premierepro

Anyone else noticed a big uptick of AI spam accounts lately? Y'know, usual AI slop images, a good number of likes for this site but no other engagements posted by accounts that have a few thousand followers but follow far more? Man, I really wish that "show less like this" feature worked right now.

www.twitch.tv/charlatanwon... The streams are back and that means so are the shirts! Get in here! We're playing Dishonored! Don't look at the pants.

The Skin Deep video out this weekend but that's probably gonna be more like next weekend now. This has nothing to do with that one reddit thread, this is more to do with how big the script is getting; I think it's my biggest so far this year and it's not even done with it yet.

This was the biggest thread on r/immersivesim in months. Turns out I was also the subject of a thread there a couple months ago too where they're calling for my execution over my Alien: Isolation video. What is actually wrong with these people?!?! "Half-assed remark for funsies" or not that is nuts.

I posted this on the other site last night too and ended up having to block a guy who just wanted to fight over a video that wasn't even out yet and what is and is not an imsim. Not even an hour after getting blocked this guy ran off to the immersive sim subreddit to drag me however he could.

I get the feeling a good number of people aren't going to like what I have to say about Skin Deep, but I can't help but notice that some of the people praising it for being an immersive sim aren't people I see playing a lot of immersive sims. It's Thief-inspired at best*.
