Building a Professor Layton retrospective with AI-assisted artwork

Hi everyone! I'm building a gaming retrospective YouTube series called The Geeky Gamer UK, starting with Professor Layton.

I'm making the videos on my phone using free tools, recording my own narration and learning the editing process as I go. I'm also using AI-assisted illustrations where I don't have suitable gameplay footage.

I'm researching the games and checking the information rather than simply accepting whatever AI tells me. My aim is to create a proper gaming documentary about the characters, stories and history behind the series.

I'm still learning, so I'd be interested in hearing from other creators who use AI as part of their workflow. What have you found works best for combining AI-generated visuals with your own storytelling?

Future Yakuza Switch Games

So I have been a gamer for years and for most of that time from 21 years old (now 44) Ive been an Xbox boy however since 2020 I drifted over to Switch.

I found the wonders of Yakuza Kiwami on Switch 1, once I finished that I needed more of this wonderful world. I bought myself a switch 2 just for Yakuza Kiwami 2, 3 and 0 (I've finish 2 and I'm on chapter 6 of 3)

Once I've got and played zero I'm stuck as there is no other games announced for the switch.

What are people opinions of the switch versions? Why Kiwami 3 is hated and also will switch 2 get remastered versions of 4 onwards?

Also please no spoilers for 3, DT and zero as I'm still playing or to play....... And yes I know these games have been out for ages but I lost 3 years of gaming to be a dad

Much love

Rob

PTSD from unexpected death

Are there any people who could give some advice to panic attacks and PTSD.

In 4 minutes (at the time of writing) it's been 11 months since I found my dad and I've struggled since however this week has been horrendous.

Has anyone been through this experience of finding a loved one and dealing with how horrible your body and mind treats you afterwards.

I want my head and heart to stop beating myself up about things I can't change but no matter what I do I can't get past the 9th August.

Any advice would be appreciated

General Question

So I'm currently about to finish the DLC part of the first case on the original trilogy of Ace Attorney, once I'm done with the trilogy then I'm going to pick up on what I tested of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and then I know I want the Apollo Justice trilogy.

Now I'm very mixed about what I have seen of Investigations. Is it worth getting and playing or is the way the game plays going to annoy me as it looks like it will.

I know it sounds weird but it's too much of a change from what these games are and I've been stung in the past when games try a drastic change of gameplay.

I know I'm going to pay the money to buy PL Vs AA and I know my luck as soon as I spend what is a stupid amount for a 3ds game it will be remastered for the switch but.........

Should I pay the money for investigations or just hold off and wait for it to go on sale at some point?

And what are people thoughts on LP Vs AA coming on switch 2?

AND...... When are we getting a NEW Ace Attorney game??

5 minute itch

Who else suffers from this? When you even get a spare 5 minutes, do you jump on AA and just get a few more clues or cross examinations done just to help progress the story or do you play whole cases in one play?

At the weekend I get more time to play it so cases but during the week, working nights, having a 6 year old and trying to sleep weekends are my AA time

What do you do?

If you're fortunate (or unfortunate on your preference) to have to charge your car...... How do you spend your time?

As you can see I'm currently on case 2 of the Great Ace Attorney

u/BRIDMARYGOKU1 — 4 months ago

I dont know how this happened?

How have I never played these games before and why did I always think I would hate them.

I bought the first trilogy about 2 years ago and it has been waiting on my switch backup games that whole time.

I saw a meme the other day and it had PW in it and I thought oh I've got that game...I'll give it a try.

Well I'm on the last case of the first game and I have already bought the Great Ace Attorney Game and I want them all now.

How does these games get stuck in your head and why do they become an obsession

A story of my life but really about a tooth

I''m a 44 year old man who has developed a fixation with touching one of my teeth (front right canine).

I have suffered with mental health issues from the age of 15. Since turning 30 my life has taken a very strange turn.

I became disabled from a freak football (soccer) injury after suffering a tribal plateau fracture type 5. Recovery from this was 6 months non weight bearing, after recovery I developed a lower back pain and after almost suffering going into septic shock I was diagnosed with a perianal abscess which had burst. After a few failed operations to help me live with a permanent abscess I opted to have a colostomy bag.

I lived with the bag for a year and wore it with pride. I met the love of my life shortly after having it fitted. After a year I was told I was able to have it reversed so I did and continue to be bag free except I have a few issues from time to time.

Sorry for the ramble but all of this info could help.

Anyways 2023 2 weeks into starting a new job I developed what I thought was a cold. After 2 weeks of not getting any better, not eating and my vision going I went to the doctor who advised me to go to the hospital. After 1 week of tests in QA hospital, I was rushed in the middle of the night to Southampton general and placed in quarantine as I had contracted TB Meningitis.

After 4 weeks in hospital and 1 year of treatment I was TB Meningitis free however I have developed memories issues and sight problems due to a tinnie tiny bit of brain damage.

We are getting close the end I promise.

At the tale end of 2024 my father decided to move back from France after helping his brother with a fishing lake (sadly my uncle passed away in 2023) and moved to a lovely little flat just 5 minutes away.

I got to spend every day with him for the first time since I was 14 years old and he also got to spend everyday with his grandson of 5 years old. Now how could this lovely bit of the tale take a turn, oh let's see.......

1 day after my mother's birthday I called him to say I was on my way over to him. This was at 9:30 am, he didn't answer. This is normal his is mostly deaf. Arrived at 9:40 am got to his front door. Locked! Ok he has gone for a walk. Unlock front door, little man (child) runs in first..... Gramps Gramps but no answer, he had passed away. 9 months after getting him back, I lost my dad and because he was logging his food to get on the wegovy weight loss programme I'm on, he logged his breakfast at 8:50am that morning. I had just missed him and I couldn't do anything to help. So I now suffer from PTSD.

Anyways I've developed this obsession with my tooth. I can't stop playing with it and it's driving me loopy.

Am I losing my mind or do I add another issue to my long list of issues.

Thank you for reading my moan.
