Had 10 minutes to play with the new session updates this afternoon and it feels so much smoother. I can definitely feel it even as a casual user.

This is an abolute banger of a game on itch. It nails the nes aesthetic while keeping true to the modern silksong movements. You can play through the first boss Moss Mother, and where you start the first ascend into Bone Bottom. I was in shock when I discovered the little climb effect hornet does when you just cant quite make a jump, the hold jump for height is on point. Her downstrike with the hunters crest is perfect.
Wyatt would absolutely love this banger of a level.
First W In Brotato
After having brotato and doing a few runs every once in a while I finally beat the most basic balanced run in the game! Wyatt wanted to play tonight and its such an easy game to jump in do a few runs and move on without getting overly invested.
Watching back I cannot believe how lucky I got, barely scraping by with 1hp at this point
the last 80s of the game
What a goat, speedrunning silksong at a competitive pace, live, with live audience, while co hosting, and raising $2M for Prevent Cancer Foundation. CEEN moves in ways that do not compute with my brain, everything looks so simple, things that take me so long are done in a few swipes. Watching this it really make silkspear look OP, this thing does so much damage if you never take damage and can use it continuously without needing silk for healing.
Silksong DLC announcement already, we waited 8 years for the game, and are getting DLC’s months after launch. Dudes I haven’t even finished the game get, maybe not even half way. It’s amazing. Its amazing that these three make such a kick ass game with great art, story, voice, gameplay, and now drop a free dlc in 2026.
Moore’s Law is Dead pitches a pretty ingenious sku for the new gabecube aka steam machine. I fully support repairability and ewaste reduction. most of these components have not had MAJOR improvements in years, hence his channel name. There is a possibility here that Valve could ship with their unique hardware, (apu, psu, case, ports, networking) and let you bring your own ssd and ram from an old device that you might not use anymore. I love this idea. At the same time it feels like entering the star wars universe where there are no more new manufacturing and everything is cobbled together from old hardware made long ago.

Wild to see the LinkedIn post linked here to see how out of touch this feels. I find it astonishing that they have something so ingrained into gaming culture as twitch, yet build something like Prime Gaming. Maybe I have no idea what Prime gaming is, but it feels like the opposite of ownership. What I get from steam is a sense of ownership. I own the desktop/laptop/handheld, no one cough nintendo cough cough cant remotely disable my device for using it inappropriately. I have a sense of trust with steam that as long as Gabe is alive I own what I paid for and will be able to open up and play anything at any time on any device I want. It might be a $100 dell workstation raised out of the coorporate refurb bin, it might be a high end machine, It could be my 2010 gateway or my 2045 custom build and they are all likely to play a good amount of my library at some level. I still understand that I really own nothing and the moment steam turns off its servers its quite likely that everything is broken, but its by far the best we have. Far from the status quo we are headed towards with subscription and cloud based gaming. If they wanted to...

Only 1 hour into the release of silksong, and it’s taken down all of the eshops, and steamdb dows 100K concurrent players. The Humble store ran out of steam keys for silksong already.
You guys better not break this thing before I get off work and My son gets home cause we are playing this tonight!!
I just Check steamDB, and they have 441K concurrent players right now. An Indie game! This shows when you treat your fans right and make something incredible they stand behind you.
I’m playing through peak right now with Wyatt and it is a great game, a small wholesome indiegame that is legit hard, but fun with the simplest concept. You are a scout who has crashlanded on an island, your goal is to get to the peak with your friends. You must manage hunger, stamina, weight, health and energy. You have limited resources and must help everyone to the top, if someone is low on stamina, they are going to need a helping hand or a stonger climber to go up and set pitons and ropes. Its a fantastic collaborative play game
a short clip of me playing with wyatt, I did not have anything great to add, but this is just a random clip
It was insta-ripped off by roblox with microtransactions pay to win garbage. It looks one for one the same damn models and interface, they spared nothing at making it look exactly like the original. They let you buy a golden apple assuming it gives you crazy stamina to climb with ease, and it costs goddam robux. As Big A says here theres nothing they can really do, the roblox platform just lets this happen, and if they didn’t they would loose huge revenue because this is so prevelant. Legal fees would crush this small team that made it.
