BIG NEWS: after a year and a half of being My Beast Friend, as of this week "Little" Bibbithy "Bibby" D'Babbis Babbis has started approaching my desk and explicitly asking to be lifted into my lap, where he stands on all fours staring at the front door (his favorite stare-target)
i always wanted a dog that would sit in my lap by choice, though not a big one--not the kind of dog who feels more like a bad roommate when they in your lap. i mean like a small one who just kind of chills there. if only there was a word for that. oh well! back to work
getting bibby to do this has been a YEAR-long process of picking him up and putting him in my lap (aka "lap jail") when he barks too many times, because he can't get down from the chair by himself and it genuinely calms him down. well, now he stands up and asks! NOW back to work
taking a break to have a little talk with my little friend

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

i made a massive patreon post about this, so here's the tiny twitter version: the cyberpunk video is REAL GOOD (and huge). it's gonna take another month. it's the best thing i've ever made, so please wait a little longer so i can finesse it! expect it week one of august.
additional contributions to the delay: the cyberpunk video too interconnectedly references the next six videos that i needed to also research and write outlines for the next six scripts while making this one. i played 110 video games total for this review.
Season Two of action button features Big Changes: finalized branding, a fancy website, new hires, and an extreme re-focusing of tone, mission statement, and style. i dare not spoil what i mean; for now let's leave it at: i'm gonna cut down on bad jokes (and cut UP on good ones).
i'm hearing rumors that nintendo is making a "nintendo switch pro" that will run breath of the wild in 60fps. this could be big
the above tweet is a joke. this one is not: my Inside Source at nintendo tells me that the nintendo switch OLED model does in fact run super mario odyssey at 60fps. very intriguing
i'm sorry: the above tweet was also a joke. super mario odyssey has been 60fps since day one both docked and handheld
it's JULY 4TH aka "America Day"! why not celebrate with my sousaful review of METAL WOLF CHAOS? this is one of the best videos i have yet made. i dare say no other review of METAL WOLF CHAOS is mathematically possible. thanks, @devolverdigital
don't YOU want to watch the review that got HUNDREDS of comments like THIS less than an HOUR after it was posted, from people who clicked on a twenty-minute video about METAL WOLF CHAOS and somehow made it through at least fifteen minutes???
some Production Notes on this video:
1. i wrote this script in 40 minutes--that's only twice as long as it took me to read it into a microphone! wow i type fast
2. this video took exactly one work day to write / produce / edit
for YEARS i've been yelling at anyone who calls SPEED RACER (2008) "actually" "good." no "actually" necessary! it's Just A Masterpiece. love it or go home!
well, @mikeyface went and made a perfectly justified link between SPEED RACER, picasso, and james joyce in this video :-O
a not-insignificant percentage of the worst conversations i have ever suffered in my life have involved a different guy scrounging through thin air for Cool Points by boldly declaring that "pretending to like" SPEED RACER is "just a fad". nope!! it owns, scientifically
maybe i should elaborate: as mikey points out in the video, speed racer came out a week after iron man. mainstream critics had been programmed, by films like batman begins, to accept iron man as a "serious comic book film" which also happened to have Something For Everyone
well, the new york deadline is sunday so i am finally applying for health insurance today. (i wouldn't be able to use the insurance until february 1st anyway, so i put it off.) i played through demon's souls FOUR TIMES in the past month and i still don't understand this system
the psychopaths in charge talk about how valuable "choice" is, though literally all of the plans offered to me have a three out of five star rating. except the "new" plans, which i guess will be three stars next year. also notice a column for an attribute which is ALWAYS "no" lol
this baroque, bizarre, unreadable-on-a-mobile-phone website logs me out automatically seemingly every three minutes, always without warning, usually while i'm entering data. click "next," get an error. it took me two months of such trials to get all my info plugged in for today.
hey @Chase . . . if the wait time to talk to the Fraud Department about my account that you all just locked is Greater Than One Hour, maybe don't play such huge loud xylophone and ukulele hold music. just play like an ocean sound--something i can listen to while working . . . :-(
the song changes after every time your robot butts in to say "please stay on the line" . . . you won't even let me get comfortable with one song . . . while i'm here can i just say that i'm going to buy a TV in one month, so if you see that, yes, that was me--no need to lock
also i'll be doing my taxes in about four months and would appreciate it if you implement a feature that lets me search my account activity for specific transactions. wells fargo has had this feature since like 1996 . . . it'd be really helpful . . .
