Someone get him to check his block list please? Someone else is clearly using his phone again...

Or his twitch whispers... again. :(

I remember he mentioned spending like 59$ on it, do you guys remember? Could be very useful

I'm not gonna bore anyone here with my story, but trust me, when it comes to suicide and depression I got my credits.
And as someone like that, even though I never played the game, or the remake because I was afraid of what it might trigger in me, listening to Tyler's story in this video and the previous gives me courage, hope and confirmation that even though I might relapse time and time again, and trip and fall the right thing to do will always be to stand up. Not just for others, those who care about me and love me, but for myself.

I am a human just as much as anyone else, and I deserve a shot at a happy life. Just yesterday from this post I made a serious blunder and spiraled (that could've gotten a lot more bleak if the friend I reached out to didn't help me break out of it) after doing very good in recovery for 3 years. But I am not gonna let it define me, I'll learn from it and when I'm weak I'll lean on those who are willing to land a hand. Because there is always people like that.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: if you are out there reading this post, and you zoned out for a couple minutes staring at a kitchen knife at the dinner table, or closed your eyes and fell back first into your bed while picturing yourself taking flight from the local bridge to the bottom of the river, I'm on my knees begging you to please talk to someone, doesn't have to be a professional right away, but someone who wants what's best for you needs to know. And then you'll figure it out if there is in fact something to figure out. Be kind to yourself and believe me, and/or the people telling you that you are valuable and precious.

It's very easy to shut the blinds and start twisting facts to serve certain narratives that make living a life of hard truths easier, but the complexity of these situations is exactly what makes them managable, survivable. Thinking in extremes is easier but thinking rationally is a lot more forgiving to all parties involved. Please if you catch yourself smearing and/or erasing things that are matter of fact, just sit back for a minute and consider accepting reality instead. If there is a relationship gone sour, talk it out. If you yearn for something, let your friends and family know. If you suddenly notice a brick in your hand, stop building walls. I've been there, I had my Fort Oasis and I paid the price dearly. If there is one cardinal line of advice I hope with all my heart that you take: be vocal. As long as you're social you are safe. Keep it up!

Been seeing a lot of people talk about Pyro's new videos and his main channel content as of late. Just wanted to put in my two cents.

Gonna be honest, I just like hearing him yap. Idgf about the actual substance as long as if it's long enough for me to take a nap to or listen to while I play a game.

Only videos I really cared for were Cruelty Squad, Cry of Fear, Entropy Zero, and Darkwood (mainly because I knew those games would be ones I'd want to try) along with Utopia.

And while I get why some people don't like his newer videos as much as his old ones, i understand why he's made this shift. He wants to evolve his presentation in order to stay ahead of the curve. A lot of reviewers don't buy build entire sets and use full costumes for their analysis of games, but Pyro does because he potentially wants to make his reviews stand out.

The only problem I feel has begun to grow with A LOT of fans is that the videos are becoming too long. A lot of repeating points, tangents, and other such things (which I personally love to hear the funny lesbian talk about bullshit but to each their own).

For example, channels like Boofcan or TotallyPointlessTV make similar videos to Pyro's reviews on a far lower budget but I pay much more attention to them, not because they're shorter, but because it's not just 'blah blah blah mechanic blah blah blah lore blah blah blah'. They add in notes about the sound designs, soundtrack, and game production, nearly every thing discussed is an interesting tidbit of info and not just rambles.

While they aren't interviewing game developers personally which Pyro has done (which should definitely be commended for going out your way to travel and meet the game devs in person), I feel as if people find those other reviews easier to digest because they don't linger. There's no rambles or repeated points, or there's very little compared to Pyro's reviews.

At the end of the day, Pyro makes next to nothing from these kind of videos because of how much money he sinks into them. Why does he keep on making them? Either he feels genuinely passionate about the topics and games he talks about, or he just does it to meet quotas.

Just my thoughts and what do I know? I don't make YouTube videos because I have a real job (UwU)

TLDR: forget petscop 2, I want far cry 2 and a main channel postal franchise analysis
