    • @minimalphilia

      Never mix business and pleasure. I'm not saying it's bad he's expanding his powers to make decisions that affect more people -- in fact, that might be a good thing if you think he's good at making decisions. However, don't rule out the published games not being good. When business and pleasure are mixed, that's when someone becomes a fanperson rather than a rational consumer. It'll be a minimode once a single good game comes out, and it'll be bigmode if a series of good games come out.

    • @minimalphilia
      @minimalphilia 8 месяцев назад

      @@AG-ld6rv I mean, obviously. Unless you found a business for pleasure because you can afford a indie game for a couple tenthousand bucks only you want to play. Which I meant jokingly, because judging from the level of Jason's game critiques I am pretty sure he has the nose for good games. We all will see with animal well and then draw our conclusions.

    Just wanna say, you have the best artificial scanlines I've seen in recent years, wow. Owning a CRT and being a pixel artist myself, I can really appreciate the extra depth and detail they add, it's how most historical pixel art was meant to be viewed! Is that a phoshor mask hidden by youtube compression too? I'd love to know!
    Having seen years of terrible, lazy scanline emulation shipped with games or "retro style" games with artyles made for monitors people don't use anymore (example, halls of torment) I can say confidently that this is the right way to do it. This detail is so fundamental to the look of the entire game yet is often completely missed by modern indie developers that it's shocking.
    I honestly hope there's NOT an option to turn them off in game and that it's the default, so people don't harm their game experience. That's how good I think it is, this is the best I've ever seen shipped with a game and it looks better than 99% of the competition easily.

    I'm putting the memes and jokes aside for a second and speaking from the heart for this. It truly makes me so unbelievably happy to see this. I first discovered and started watching Dunkey back in 2017 when he came out with his review of Mass Effect Andromeda. I was hooked instantly, I binged his uploads because not only did he make me laugh, but he made me think, he opened my mind to new perspectives and he formed a connection by putting himself out there. I'm not exaggerating when I say that since I subscribed it is my favorite thing to see on RUclips when he uploads a new video. Now to see you go from that to branching out into supporting the games you love and believe in, it's been so surreal and truly inspiring and heartwarming to see. I see the passion in every single video and how it even amplifies when you talk about video games. I feel privileged to see this journey unfold over the last six years and to enjoy all the content we've received. So Dunkey (and Leah and the rest of Bigmode too) I want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you. You've not only entertained me but helped me in my day to day life just by doing what you do. Idk if he's even going to see this but it was important for me to put out there. Also when is Bigmode gonna release Knack 3?
