We’re vibing and chilling out this week. There are a lot of games out there that I don’t distinctly have an interest in playing. But that doesn’t mean I don’t care about their particular story or setting. So if you would rather just watch someone else do all the hard work and enjoy the narrative, Shirrako has you covered for a lot of games.
Legendary shmup god Jaimers put out a playthrough of Salamander III on the recently released Gradius Origins collection. Sit back and relax as he quickly demolishes a shmup in his usual fashion. If you want to feel even more insecure about your abilities, check out the rest of his videos on various shmups.
It’s been a hot minute since I lasted recommended a DancingBacons video. He’s been on TheList for quite some time now, but I’m sure many of you with busy lives and attention elsewhere have probably forgotten about him. So consider this your friendly reminder that he puts out a lot of chill nerdy / foodie content perfect for watching when you want to unwind. No obnoxious vocal commentary, opinions, or drama. Just enjoy the atmosphere.
Chill synthwave song recommendation to conclude the update. With recent YouTube shenanigans, I’m not sure everyone will be able to listen to the above track. If you have a hard time, the artist KXST has many other platforms their music is on. So if you find yourself blocked or “unavailable in your region”, check out SoundCloud or Linktr.ee. Actually, both of those sites are infinitely better than the clown fiesta that is YouTube, but I digress. We chill this week, no need for that energy for now.
Artist is フランク-兄さん / Rioliogiz
It was quite the task finding a waifu picture with headphones on that wasn’t AI generated. Thankfully Rioliogiz has a lovely waifu with headphones on and is their own creation. Please visit their social and send them a nice word for their effort!
