#WELOVETAGG Unfortunately due to the dreaded timezones I rarely get to catch the otter's streams, but I can tell you this; He's a good guy, he genuinely cares about people and wouldn't put up with anyone's shit. He's also one of the funniest fucker you'll ever watch/meet.

Something that grips my shit is when people equate "graphics" to "artstyle", because it leads to stupid situations where all they care about is fidelity and how well rendered someone's beard is. A cel-shaded game doesn't have bad graphics, it just has an artstyle that chafes against your tastes.

I've been playing MH:W again, and I'm absolutely remembering my weird love/hate relationship with the game. I love the fights, but I absolutely cannot stand the amount of grinding required.

I am currently sat with 1 video done, 2 scripted and notes for 2 more. Really not sure if this is being productive or just highly advanced procrastination...

I've started watching Outlaw Star recently after bouncing off in years ago because it felt "dated". Past me is an idiot, this is great.

NEW VIDEO! Survival Horror is one of those genres that everyone seems to want to get into but few manage to do very well. And Sony's no different. Released in 2001 and forgotten near instantly, let's so how good the game actually is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI41...

So, discovered yesterday that the recording setup I was using for Shadowplay is now borked. Seems to be on Nvidia's side (shock horror), because looking at the volume mixer, it picks up the sound for a second before going silent. Well, back to recording in silence.

A small step, but a step nontheless. Let's hope this train keeps rolling!

Hey All, I'm The ResidentGremlin! Your second favourite internet gremlin and purveyor of the weird, the retro and the forgotten in video games. You can find me on YouTube at the following: youtube.com/@ResidentGremlin1 Reference sheet done by @coksi.bsky.social

Something I've noticed from the release of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is that you can tell when someone is coming into it as a Souls player, because they just throw themselves at the hardest difficulty straight away and slam their heads against the wall for hours.

I don't particularly have an opinion on Fortnite, but at this point I'm pretty sure if they stopped doing crossover for a month the whole thing would collapse.

Still kind of blown away that they're remastering Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. With so many bugs it doesn't doesn't need a remaster as much as it needs to be fumigated. And possibly an exorcist.

Rubberbanding in racing games isn't inherently bad, but you're probably pushing your luck if the CPU is allowed to break all known laws of physics to catch up to the player. This might be related to a video...

NEW VIDEO! Probably one of the more overlooked games of the 6th Generation, Spartan Total Warrior really showed what the PS2 could do, and I can't help but imagine the gaming landscape today if people took more notice... ENJOY! #Videogames #Review youtu.be/EkhtaBdDpHk

I still find it wild that there are some VTubers out there fucking with GenAI. The entire space is BUILT ON THE BACK OF ARTISTS! Using it for anything, especially promo art, is tantamount to raising a billboard that reads "blacklist me pls :)"

I'm part way through scripting my next video, and I've discovered that: 1. It is a lot easier to slot in ideas when you do proper segments. And, 2. This videos are probably going to be a lot shorter than my previous attempts.

Hmm... Probably safe to assume Beyond Good & Evil 2 is never coming out.

I know it's the Steam Awards and a glorified popularity contest, but the Outstanding Visual Style Award makes me weep. All of those games with distinctive art styles and direction, and the winner is Grey UE5 Title No. 278? The caption is the real kicker, honestly.

Struggle to get to sleep. Finally manage it at 1am. Wake up at 2am, blocked nose, sore throat and gut trouble. Body, why do you hate sleep so much?

After this next video (because I'm too far in now) I'm probably going to change the format a bit. Feel like how I'm currently doing it isn't the most accessible and is also a pain in the ass to make shorts for because it loses a lot of context.

I'm getting back into the swing of things and that means a new video! This time we long at Remember Me, a game that's title has become more ironic as time goes on. But question is, what is ever any good? Watch and find out! (Or don't, I'm not a cop) youtu.be/109odqJ9XSc #Gaming #Retrospective

People like to joke about the cottage industry of explaining Dark Souls lore, meanwhile I'm thinking about the network of people that tried to decipher this guy's political views.

I've realised that I have played 3 games that were released this year, both indie. Partly that's because I remain deep in the retro mines and refuse to leave, and partly because nothing's really grabbed me by the lapels shook me until I played it. Maybe next year will be different...Maybe.
