7:50 it is always funny when a mutant who won the lottery says "you need to understand being a mutant is a blessing not a curse" to the mutant whose powers causes them suffering just for existing
We need more Isaac runs for the Just Chatting section, it's so much better. I love watching you play Isaac, it makes me redownload it every time and keep on running.
Tbf Gungeon also just doesn’t have the depth of Issac (starting character variance, alternate paths, reward for knowledge of underlying mechanics) nor the pop-off potential (capped boss dps). It’s one of those things where many people say they want balance in games but what they mean by balance is they want becoming OP/unbalanced to be infrequent but possible like Isaac, rather than functionally impossible.
I do love me some books, but gaming has always been more interesting to me. Like sure I could sit down and read for like an hour a day, and be transported to another world in my mind, with some soft music playing to experience a fixed story. Or I could put on that same soft music and play a game where there may be one primary fixed story, or there might be choices that can be made so I can replay that story over and over again and not get bored of it. Take my favourite game of all time, "Star Ocean The Second Story", there are well over 70 different endings to that game because each character has an ending with every other character based on the interactions you did during your time playing through the story, and the story itself would work perfectly as a novel. Like don't get me wrong, I love sitting down and cracking open a book and just reading for a while, but I equally enjoy playing video games. I mean if you enjoy books for the world and story, then RPGs are likely for you, if you enjoy books for philosophy there are games for that too they tend to be called "Walking simulators", you like reading to learn? Games have you covered there as well, most historical events of note have a video game or 10 made about them, that can lead you down a road of research that you didn't even think about because that game made the event so much more interesting than just reading it in a book. I can't imagine ever "growing out of games", it's the same thing as the people who say they "grew out of books". If you enjoy video games, you never grow out of them. Same with books, if you enjoy books you never really grow out of them. Revisiting an old game you enjoyed is just like cracking open and old familiar book. It's the same warm feeling of comfort and nostalgia.
