after trying for 5 years i finally managed to make a video under 20 minutes again. dear fucking lord. next video is outer wilds, should be out later this month since it's mostly written already.
anyways, here's my patreon lol

GEE
Looking forward to seeing it next year shammy
what a perfect song for the outro, thanks for introducing me to kiltro on the no mans sky review
Hell yeah, I’m hyped for the Outer Wilds video
Oooh girl you jusy dropping tea like that at the end like
I absolutely love the fact that the first video released after (the vore incident) is sponsored by sex toys
Vore incident? What'd I miss?
You don’t wanna walk this path trust me
@@S1eepy0w1 nope this path has a mystery and a nice view. bring on the vore stories.
oh god, I need context
@@derhesligebonsaibaum Shammy retweeted vore art she commissioned on her main account.
Im gonna be real here, aside from "awww cat" i think the fact that stray is stupid easy is part of the appeal. Its the casual gaming of puzzle games. My wife wasnt a gamer, then when I deployed she started picking up FPS games but she still does NOT play single player games. Stray is the first game ive ever seen her sit down, play, have fun, have an emotional connection to, then complete. It has to count for something.
@probieo its shorter than weirdly hiding it?
"When I left for like a year on business" is like 300% more effort lol
Well yeah- I mean it in for you two or for others who got people into gaming through "simple" games.
I have my personal feelings towards STRAY (quite negative) tho I do appriciate when a game gets someone into trying to do some gaming, just like a simple book can get someone interested in reading more etc
If game is fun, then game is good. Simple as.
The sex toy sponsor was both an unexpected and hilarious verbal flash bang. 10/10
Especially that “I better choose my words in YT…” backhand
XD
The kiltro line hit me
Shammy fits in to one of my favorite types of youtuber. The kind that only uploads once every five months but their videos have such a higher quality videos compared the ones who post videos daily. Keep up the good work cant wait for the next video in 2023.
2023 is optimistic remember the break before the top 2017 games?
note: if you're in love with shammy's proposed game where you're just a cat dropped into something much bigger that neither the cat nor the player understands due to language barriers, PLAY RAIN WORLD
Slugcat gang rise up \o/
Yes.
Bit of a different vibe, but yeah great game
I couldn’t get into it, the controls were frustrating and I couldn’t avoid the enemies because of it so I kept dying and wasn’t really having any fun.
Rain World is such a good game
This is quite possibly the best sponsorship promotion I’ve ever seen.
The cat game review was good too
The ending credits showing Shammy "handing things" off to Joy was really fucking cute to see, thanks Joy.
I GOT A HEART FROM HER
FUCK YOU OWL TAKE IT BAKC
I take it Joy is the name of the new OC/Fursona?
@@marinenukem it's Shammy's actual name
@@MyOnlyAliasYT Wait, really? That's kind of ironically funny with how dead pan their voice is
Apparently she was on a name generator site and Joy was the only name that came up several times, and she felt it was a sign
The return of the king
Edit: Just watched the video
Queen*
Quite possibly the first video I've seen mention both Ultrakill and vibrators without linking the two together. Great stuff!
about that
My gamer in christ, this video is WHY they're linked lmao.
@@LloydTavner Could've sworn the "sex update" came out before this, but seems like it came four days after. Egg on my face, I guess.
Edit:
And I just checked who originally suggested it. Clown makeup upon me, yes?
Lovely end to the video. I'm so happy for you, and I look forward to hearing more from you Joy.
Making the game you reviewed Stray just to be able to use the newest Kiltro song for the outro. Massive respect
c u c h i t o
@@joshuaamy3010 it's such a good song god they never miss
"most modern studies agree that genre is a spectrum, so failing in these binary angles doesn't make it a bad game"
I have a feeling this wasn't just about the funny cat game
A true genius.
*foreshadowing*
If you didn't like that Elden Rings choices are body type A and B, you are standing in moving water.
If it wasn't, it's still incorrect.
@@Drako9823 funny how every little roach comes crawling out of the woodwork as soon as you dare to not be a bigot.
This is some cosmic precognition stuff because I was wondering if Shammy had posted anything lately. Lo and behold, new video fresh out of the oven.
Same lol
I was talking about her with a friend like two hours before she published the video like holy fuck do I have my phone tapped???
Well, its bound to happen to someone with the amount of people waiting for her vids
Everything’s better fresh out the oven
I was talking to my friend about her last night and said she’d post again in like a year. Absolutely wild.
Best part of Stray is modding to make him look like your cat lol
That's a wholesome bit of info I didn't know, thx for sharing
Or Garfield
Everytime a new Shammy video is out, I am getting all excited, enjoying the ride but also can't shake off the feeling that I am missing out on a ton of Shammy lore happening somewhere else.
It's like talking to a Merchant that shows up about two times a year and hearing about the latest stuff in the rest of the world. :D
If you have been missing vore posting joy you have been missing out
Writing is as sharp as ever. That hand-off between personas in the credits was really touching
Honestly, this was the most pretentious video they have made to date.
@@aceroy9195 *talks about cat game and how they think it's fine but also believe the themes could have been better worked out*
"So pretensions"
@@aceroy9195 meet me outside
writings gotten blunt and not in the good way
@@i_dont_pay_taxes491 talks about how humanity is just a concept and its cyclical. Just look at the robots, they do human things. They live in a stratified society, just like humans did.
But why does any of that happen. You can't just say that it's cyclical when it's never stated the reason humanity died off.
Humanity can end. But the world will still exist after that. After me and you die the world moves on. But why does it have to be cyclical. What makes it cyclical, how do we know that there will be another sentience to carry the torch. You can't claim something cyclical without it having consistent repetition. It's poetic that the robots made by humans act like humans sure. But that's arguably attributable to humanity's hubris, it can only imagine itself. And because of that the robots are dying. They might be subject to the same fate as humanity despite no longer having the same physical barriers they did.
I could ramble on, but at that point I could be making my own video and mot awkwardly plug a sex toy sponsor since I care more about art than money.
When I first found the channel years ago I didn’t expect to, in a future video, sit through her abruptly cutting from cat game to a vibrator sponsor and then right back to the cat game, but I think it’s pretty poignant because suddenly Shammy’s evolution over the years paralleled that of The Surge and I felt like, even for just a moment, everything made sense in the world.
her?
@@oatjuice5921 her.
@Oat Juice ya she came out as trans
@@harrisonstallings6904 oh, didnt know
@Moon Man Gross... That they didn't know?
14:43 Congrats on finally completing your playthrough of Celeste!
Man, this video fills me with such joy but I can't quite place my finger on why.
👉😏👉
Idk maybe it’s the fact that the video came out so recently
It's a happy Shammy video
I see what you did there
It's the lovence sponsor, definitely...
Absolutely flawless, Joy. Congrats on breaking the curse.
Still can’t wait for you to cover Outer Wilds. It really was as good as you said.
Honestly? It's like almost impossible to convey why that game is so good in any depth without ruining it in some way.
Ya know I made the mistake of showing this to my coworker in the middle of my shift because I was so happy to see a new vid from you and almost died of embarrassment when the aid came on, but it was also kinda hilarious.
They should have told the story through a narrator with no other dialogue and revealed at the end that the deep, gritty, rich voice you've been listening to what the cat's.
Like the narrator of the Stanley Parable
A talking cat?!
@@uhoh7545 a thinking cat
Well, then it would be a Supergiant game :P
@@uhoh7545 they HAVE to use the voice they used in "A Talking Cat!?"
"I know I've gotten a lot of you into Kiltro, so let me get Kiltro into *you.*" is now my new most favorite Shammy line, thank you.
Seriously looking forward to your Outer Wilds video. The moment it's live, if my eyes are open, they'll be glued to the screen. Cheers to you for this one, you've got some mighty good writing!
Thanks for making me completely and utterly obsessed with Kiltro Joy, you crazy owl.
Didn't even realise Shammy was the source, but it all makes sense now
Always love seeing one of your vids show up and seeing the two of your characters part ways to signify the things happening in your life was gorgeous. As always, I look forward to seeing more.
the idea of a game about cat making shammy reevaluate their humanity and discover she's actually trans is pure gold
It's kinda wholesome, congrats Shammy!
Shammy’s avatar updated right about the time I got to that part, which was extra good
@@woodenwaste Wait this avatar is new?
What have I lost in this few minutes?
@@VerbenaIDK Shammy's old avatar was just a cartoon brown owl. Nothing major lost.
That would be funny but I'm pretty sure she's been trans for way longer
A new, post-vore era of the channel. Let's go
there is no post-vore era
the vore era never stops
Kiltro at the ending of every video creates a very specific feeling not easily replicated. It gives all of videos on this channel unmistakable atmosphere.
Amazing job as always Joy. The little hand-off between personas in the credits really got me in the heart.
@@somethingelse1388 Joy* or did you miss the trans mention? and the community post? and the twitter post?
I am so sick of people pretending like games have to conform to some sort of ruleset without realizing that goes against the very idea of games being art. Your videos are such a wonderful manifestation of that frustration, and I thank you for putting it in words
@@renmcmanus You are incredibly dumb, I am sorry. I don't know how, but somehow every single thing you said was super wrong. Also Joy is trans so gargle my nuts, academically.
I strongly disagree. Not that games have have to conform to specifically societal rules, I think art can be whatever. But everything does follow a set of rules. If you like a piece of art, there must be something you think is good about it, even if you can't put what you think into words. Therefore, you have structured that piece of art internally That's why this video frustrates me. It's very poor analysis since they don't tell us what they like about the game despite giving the conclusion that it's good.
Depends on the aspect you're talking about.
When it comes to purely the artistic aspect, then i totally agree. Even the craziest of mashups can lead to amazing settings.
When it comes to gameplay however there are certain "guidelines" that genres follow and for good reason. Not to say that mashups aren't possible, but when it comes to gameplay mechanics combining contradicting/opposing design choices can lead to a really bad gameplay experience.
@@sonwig5186 thats a very valid point. To put it in different terms, a lot of punk music, despite eschewing a lot of what makes pop music digestible and easy to listen to creates a very specific and emotional sound that is itself incredibly distinct.
The distinction here is sinple- art has rules. Decent art follows rules. Good art understands rules. Great art knows which rules can be broken in pursuit of a more pure form of a different rule. Its like how in chess its always a bad idea to play knight to h5 unless youre a grandmaster and then its probably genius, because you understand things on such a level that you're following different rules from the amatures.
"I'm Trans, btw" least surprising statement i've heard in a while, but congratulations on the coming-out ma'am ❤️
I didnt even know she was a she
ᵈʳᵉᵃᵈᶠᵘˡ
More like mentally ill
It is a guy
I don't know why that was necessary to share, but cool
not even one minute in and I can already tell that this will be _immensely_ funnier to those of us who follow shammy on twitter than to those who don't
I completely forgot that she tweeted about getting that sponsorship until after watching so when I first glanced at the description it hit me like a freight train!
@@TheOneTrueNothing ahhh so that's what that was about? so she came out and surfshark pulled sponsorship? cuz if so wow im super glad i never gave them any business and will be making sure everyone knows that!
@@malum9478 surfshark pulling sponsoring might be more because of the vore arc more than anything
@@karhu7581 Wait what vore arc? I need to know
@@spydere3392 No you don't.
The transition (pun intended) to saying surf shark won't sponsor you anymore straight into pitching an ad for fancy magic wands was about what I expected for your grand return
10:41, translated from Matoran:
_"There should be a better slur for people like you."_
>:0
So happy for you Shammy! Love the way you just casually came out.
Oh boy, sounds like you weren't there for the vore incident...
Joy's coming out was anything but casual lmao
@@DainnGreywall I need to know the hidden lore. TELL ME! (without making me go on the hell site)
1 - nice to see a review of Stray that is more comprehensive and doesn't just revolve around the three points of 'it's beautiful, it's emotional, lookathelilkittysocute', thank you.
2 - Happy for you Shammy!!
3 - That's a straight-up JoJo ED style outro and I am 1000% here for it
It's really weird watching a Shammy review that lasts less than 35 minutes
cuchito was such a straight forward but perfect fit for this video,, kiltro deserve so much love.
To those of you who haven't been around for the Twitter escapades and this is your first time hearing from Shammy in a while, lol, lmao even.
To Joy, happy to see the new vid girl!
Thank you for the Bionicle joke. I just tried solving it without a guide and, now that I know what it says, I sadly must agree.
Wow, actually floored by the credits sequence. So much detail and love put into that!
This was hands down the best ad on youtube. Love ya Joy!
ngl as great as this (and every other Shammy) video already is, the choice of sponsor absolutely elevated it to previously unknown levels
Apparently I can still read bionicle. Thanks, Shammy.
The opening and the ending hit me like a truck. This is why this owl is the best owl.
Despite tons of youtubers I watch saying "I'm going back to short form videos after this" never doing it, you actually managed to do it. You desrve far more praise for the level of restraint and discipline that must have taken.
I love everything about this video.
I love how Shammy is very clear about the games shortcomings in strict gameplay terms, clear about the shortcomings in the story and plot.
But they're also clear about how even with those shortcomings, the gameplay does manage to achieve the goal of "cat vibes" and the story is fundamentally exploring some very neat concepts of what "life" even means and continuity of thought and life and inheritance of problems and all this great stuff (not like this things have never been explored in other media, but especially in videogames, this is miles better than something like David Cage's "what if slaves, but robots? What if robots, but emoshuns?!").
I fully agree that in a sense, you don't play as cat. You are a player controlling a cat body, with the brain and goals of a human (no butthole licking need meter 0/10). But also, how much can you blame the game for this. Like, "you only have the most life-like rendition of a cat running through a great looking scifi dystopia full of amazingly animated robots and a neat story, but you didn't completely revolutionized gameplay (without it being a pain in the ass like Last Guardian)? Wow, weak."
Also, that line about github made me laugh way too much.
Congrats homegirl ♥️
Thank you so much for crediting the outro music, I searched for the band and the music is wonderful!
vibe sponsored cat game
It's nice to have you here, joy... that's it, I'm glad your here, doing well, and I am looking forward to things to come. And with the new year rolling out soon, things are gonna get real weird, real fast. So be free to let me know if you or anyone else here wants to talk, I will happily help out.
That's all from me, see ya and have a goodnight, guys.
P.S let me know your favorite drinks (this is for everyone)
10:41 the thing in the bionicle language says “There should be a better slur for people like you”
Shammy sounds happier.
I'm happy for the little creature.
Went from dead pan tired owl co-worker into slightly less dead-pan pyrocynical-type transgirl
Based transition goals, if i say so myself.
The lovesense sponser is so fucking poetic, love seeing anything from you Joy keep it up but take things you're way.
I liked this game because I played it shortly after my orange cat had passed away, and playing as an orange cat here made me remember all the good times with my own deceased boy.
Sorry for your loss
I vaguely heard from one of my friends that Joy came out as trans ages ago and that memory got completely lost in the void because theres a cabbage where my brain's meant to go and i have no memory
and yet it took about 5 seconds of the video for my brain to be like "ah hey thats a trans voice. i do that!"
anyway congratulations Joy!
Your brain is a vegetable? Yeah, HRT kinda does that.
@@Drako9823 nah its always had shit memory
@@Drako9823 Oh, I saw you in a few other reply threads spouting similarly made up lies. You're really this alone on a Saturday night, huh?
I had no idea but this has gotta be the most on brand way to come out lol
@@thatromanfella8377 Judging by your obsession with Rome I'm not gonna put my faith in you having much interaction with 'real woman' 💀

Check her Twitter, she's been out for a while there. And I'm the community tab
@@AceTaxiaGaming tbh I never knew about a Twitter account :p
I’m assuming he’s just joking.
@@Quincy_Morris she is not joking. Came out a while ago on Twitter
@@Quincy_Morris I don't get how it'd make sense as a joke.
I think the message in the bionicle text was proven even more by me not needing to look up a translator.
I'm here for all of it. From intro to outtro, bombs fucking dropping. Shammy this was a masterpiece.
It’s good to see you back, Shammy. I’m always delighted for the opportunity to hear you talk about video games.
I really am enjoying your return to RUclips. I do miss the black and white endings a bit though. It felt overtly personal, but I think having something standardized like the current credits sequence is probably good if you intend on uploading more often.
Glad you're doing okay. And I'm glad you're finding yourself too.
it wasn't until 14:42 when i realized why you seemed much more confident and comfortable throughout this video compared to previous videos. sounding great so far btw, keep up the voice training.
Or she just stopped drinking. We may never know
@@androgenius_alisa stopped drinking as heavy, went to therapy, came out, been a busy half year
@@androgenius_alisa >she
What's funny about this comment is she definitely hasn't changed her voice for this video but you're right about her sounding more confident.
@@stonium69 i mean... the other comments here are saying she stopped drinking but the difference in voice is drastically different from the previous 2 videos
man, you didnt have to throw the shark girl at me
glad to see you used the fingerwave effect again after all these years
In the last three months I've randomly gotten into the PST podcast, and I swear I'm not making g this up, I'm a dummy that pays no attention, I watched TEN minutes of this feeling with a weird nagging feeling before realizing OH SHIT THIS IS SHAMMY, A PERSON IVE BEEN SUBSCRIBED TO FOR A LONG TIME.
Why was it I didn't recognize your voice on the podcast but retroactively recognized it here, as one of the voices from PST, as the voice from THIS channel. I guess we're BOTH walking memory leaks.
Just so you know shammy is no longer on the podcast, some drama happened. I'm pretty sure there's a video that goes more in depth but essentially she did some fucked up shit and decided it was best to move on and seek help.
@@average_trans_furry "seek help" as in a crippling addiction to coke and possibly H.
These comments are wild lol, it's the same 4 losers who can't cope with people finding happiness in transitioning, cope lmao

@@cherryblossomdrive-by5797 oh cool good for her
Song choice at the end is golden; Kiltro is absolutely great at what they do, and Cuchito is literally just a song about a cat. It is a perfect fit.
What a wounderfully interresting video. I love the thought and care you give to video games. Moves me every time.
Also happy for you ❤️
I can understand
Regardless the circumstances, the video and writing stay as amazing as ever. Hopefully to many more, joy :)
I just want to say thanks for your art. You're one of the best writers I've ever seen and I'm so glad you're uploading videos again. Seeing the notification for "The Actual Top 10 Games of 2017" was one of of the best parts of 2020 (granted, that's not saying much, but it would have been a great moment in any year).
Getting the whiplash nerfed is the coolest thing you've done and yea that includes being trans. Happy for ya girl.
Oh that’s why your voice sounded different
Just wanted to say I've been subscribed since the Titanfall 2 vid bcuz ur a fantastic essayist and you have a wonderful way of conveying mundane things in verbose and funny ways, congratulations on finding comfort in and being proud of yourself, you deserve it!
Man if I had a nickel for everytime a gaming video-essayist youtuber I followed had their egg cracked, I'd have three nickels.
Not a lot or anything, but its neat it happened more than once.
Great work as always Joy, and I hope things keep looking for you.
Question, who are the other two? I have LeadHead and I think actually one more but now I can't remember
What does the egg thing mean?

Its another way of saying "breaking out of their shell". Just specific to trans folk realizing what their prefered gender is

Been watching this channel since my brother introduced me to it 6 years ago, we used to watch every video together and nowadays we still send them to one another and chat about them and what we liked as they come out.
Since we first discovered your channel we've both become adults, and I've gone from being his brother to his sister. Living boring adult lives in different cities now, this channel has become something for us to send over to one another and stay connected through.
That is to say, your goofy owl videos have been really great for us, and this video like every other, has been an absolute treat.
Really happy for you transitioning, and I wish you the best, love the new owl design, looks great, looks super cool.
You're channel is awesome, thank you for all the amazing videos over the years, can't wait to see the next one.
