Fantasian - Apple Arcade - Review of the first five hours Hironobu Sakaguchi, Final Fantasy creator, has released a new game EXCLUSIVE to Apple Arcade called Fantasian. It's a throwback to the Square Enix FF7 era, but its setting is entirely made of PHYSICAL DIORAMAS. This is how I feel about the game including the issues with iCloud saves that I encountered trying to play an Apple Arcade game on Mac, iPhone, AND iPad (but not Apple TV). 0:00 - PHYSICAL SETS 0:30 - The Good 4:18 - The...

Hogwarts Legacy Character Creation and J. K. Rowling's Transphobia In this video, I talk to two trans people about the news that the video game Hogwarts Legacy could have trans options in its character creator. This Hogwarts Legacy news paired with J. K. Rowling's notorious transphobia had my brain flying around, but I didn't want to share my own opinions on Hogwarts Legacy, JK Rowling, and the news surrounding them. I wanted to ask trans folks what they thought. AC's Twitter -...

GBA in 2021: I built a $250 Game Boy Advance in 2021 An Internet acquaintance recently showed off his custom Gameboy Advance collection, and I immediately fell down the rabbit hole of retro modding and custom gameboy builds. When my husband asked what I wanted for my birthday, parts for my own build was the only answer. I bought a Gameboy Advance in 2021 and built it exactly the way that I wanted it. This is that custom GBA build. Kyle Starr's IG: https://www.instagram.com/_kylestarr 0:00...

Non Gamers Play Games Too "Gamer" is a loaded word, so loaded that many "non gamers" play games, we just don't want to be called a "gamer." It's an identity that comes with a lot of baggage many of us don't want to take on. SO MUCH, that people don't even admit that they play video games at all! Which sucks, because they're fun. In this video I break down the silly "non gamers vs gamers" thing and try to understand why people don't admit they like this hobby. 0:00 - I'm not a gamer 1:51 -...

Parler removed from Play Store and App Store On this channel, I've talked a lot about how I feel about Apple and Google's app store policies and decisions.

iPhone 12 charger and headphones - Missing Features EXPLAINED In this video, I’ll explain why Apple took the headphones and charger block out of the iPhone 12 box and why you’ll need your own. This thing has no headphone adapter or EarPods and no charger! They said they removed them for the environment, but this kind of explanation isn’t new to the iPhone 12. “No headphone jack” was the story a few years ago, and just like back then, the iPhone 12 “no charger in box” story has a lot going on...
