Boards of Canada dropping hauntingly beautiful music after a 13 year break feels like the end times are approaching

Let me know if you’re ever in Bucharest. I’ll buy you one myself for creating The Wire. And The Deuce. And Show me a Hero. Then we’ll see about the apology pints

Archolos is an absolute triumph | The Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos Review | thesummerofmark YouTube video by thesummerofmark

New video is on Archolos, a full conversion mod for Gothic 2 featuring a new map, story, and improved gameplay mechanics. This video was a lot of work so any RT, share etc would be greatly appreciated

See you in the next one

Archolos script is finished. By my rough estimations, it should have a runtime of about an hour(ish). Expect the video to drop sometime in April.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have three more books from The First Law series to read

Also, kind reminder that a stick of RAM costs $900 because chuds can’t jerk off to video game characters designed by humans

is this a Sopranos reference I noticed in Esoteric Ebb or am I actually losing my mind

Halloween theme in March huh

I’m on book 6 out 9 (nice) of the First Law series. I’ve been reading nothing else but the First Law for the past 6 months. Say one thing for thesummerofmark, say that once he really gets into a new IP, he can’t stop until every piece of content from that universe has been thoroughly devoured

Yooo happy birthday!!!

Esoteric Ebb is something else man

Oh hell yeah

25 hrs into Pathologic 3 and I still feel like I'm BARELY scratching the surface. Probably didn't help that I played 5 of those hours under the influence (hah) of the nastiest flu I had in my 33 years of existence on this earth

anyways, here's me debating the dialectics of scarecrows with a child

Honestly, I'm yearning for a Vampyr sequel

Like, why make videos in the first place? Why pursue ANY hobby if you're so willing to outsource your creativity to a robot? Is that 0.01% boost in engagement worth sloppifying your thumbnail?

Hey ShitGPT can you eliminate the struggles and trial and error that makes creating art so fun

Welcome to the AI creep. Well intentioned YTers/Insta artists/whatever, caught in the artificial content rat race, slowly but surely caving to AI. “It’s only a thumbnail”, “It’s only a sentence”, “It’s only a throwaway beat for a portofolio” until only a husk of their former artistic selves remains

Love it when YTers are like “I only use CharGPT to generate talking points for my video” damn dog you rely on a robot that scrapes the totality of human knowledge off the internet to provide you with the literal backbone of your video?

The biggest improvement Pathologic 3 brought is that The Bachelor is such a pretentious, catty doofus. 8 out of 10 dialogue lines are literally him being like 💅💅💅 Almost makes you forget that it's a game about saving a backwater steppe town from a (somewhat) sentient plague

That good, huh? Aight, say no more fam

News Tower might be one of the best tycoon/management games I’ve ever played. Tight, well-paced progression, great setting, and the headline combo system where you combine news stories with the same theme on the page to boost sales is so, so satisfying

Happy Doomsday y’all

Game developed by @just2d.bsky.social, forgot to mention in the original post

Is Drova A Good Gothic-like? | Drova: Forsaken Kin Review | thesummerofmark YouTube video by thesummerofmark

New video is on Drova: Forsaken Kin, a 2024 2D Gothic-like RPG that I enjoyed quite a lot

thanks. i miss the old internet so much

None of my videos show with restricted mode on. None. Zero. It's like I never existed on this damn platform. It's not like I make any significant money from YT, but it's pretty depressing seeing 5 years of work thrown in the shitter by an AI that nobody asked for. Very cool, YouTube!

“Some of us aren’t creative enough to brainstorm without ChatGPT!” Well then maybe you should sit this one out.
