This was always a fascinating project to see in the subscriptions feed, Tom. Something about concise, but extremely thoughtful critique of a bunch of varied games really helps a person overcome the multi-hour runtime maximalism that the RUclips video essay world seems to embrace these days. Even when stacked together into a 1-hour whole, it all still felt very humble. Sometimes, just a quick little 4 or 5-minute long critique is all you need for a game. And as I've said many times in the past, you're a fantastic writer. I don't feel like a single word is wasted anytime you narrate. This anthological criticism format is a compelling one in so many ways, but I totally understand your desire to sunset this project and try out something new in 2025. Either way, I and many other people will happily keep watching. Have a great new year, sir. Looking forward to whatever you cook up next.
Hey man just wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing and although I have only discovered you with this video but it really made my day. I also subscribed and am looking forward to more amazing videos while I'll go watch your old stuff.
I think it was a successful series, you got me to add many games to my wishlist and even buy one (Delver). While true: learn(), seem like a game that I will definitely visit in the future, duo to the fact that I have trouble learning code, I hope it does spark that mechanism that engages in learning code in my brain. hahaha, I am no stranger to Little Nightmares Janky platform system, I had to 100% the game and oooh boy, the things it demands of you, that platform system pushes the strings of your patience. Somebody lost the footage of Professor Layton... Sorry it took too long to comment...I loved the initiative, and it was nice to see you respecting the devs and the experience they provide, the art, the music, the mechanics. I know devs want to make some money out of there game, but I believe that they are more happy when we put some attention on there work.
A more than welcome new year's treat, well worded and beautifully put together once again. Happy new year, looking forward to new Uploads - oh and I'd love your prosaic thoughts on a beautifully melancholic little winter game called Panelki.
Good laugh at the sign off there, glad to see you got to Ys 1, an all timer! Unfortunately 2 loses that momentum that everyone comes to love with the original by introducing projectile magic, not overly egregious but it might not evoke the same feelings you expect from the first, just a wee heads-up. Seriously has to be said congratulations on everything this year mate, despite this particular project having a weariness to it there's been a lot of energy to your work this year I await each substack and video gleefully.
I enjoyed the video; will have to check out the rest of this series! By the way, could you clear up a reference for me? You use a sound effect each time you show a title card for a game under discussion. I have seen other retro game RUclipsrs use this sound effect in a similar way, which suggests this is a sample from an old game, but I can't place it. Where is this sound from?

@@Mal_Ah_Key thank you so much!
I've been a bit slack on your videos this year but I'll make sure to go back and watch them! Great work though bud!
There he is. The year has flown by.
I really enjoy these micro essays
Happy Holidays
Love your reviews of obscure games I heard about years ago

@@noneofyourbusiness4616 it's from Majora's Mask, the sting that game uses whenever you transition to a new day
@Buliaros18-Static-Canvas ah, thank you -- haven't played it!
What's up with Double Fine and dentists?
From where do I know the soundeffect that plays between the chapters? I've heard it before, but I can't remember where.
@@LucasOe it's the sting that plays when you start a new day in Majora's Mask
Is that Crono Cross music in the beginning?
@@brightmamba889 it's the Traverse Town theme from Kingdom Hearts!
Did you play Inside?
@@lewiekonggames yes, love that game!
You have.
