Neon White Review is Live!
🕑 Added 2022-09-08 18:28:08 +0000 UTCIt's review time again, folks! This time, I've put out Yet Another Video About How Neon White Teaches You to Speedrun, a topic that's already been done a dozen times, but fits so cleanly into my wheelhouse that I just couldn't ignore the game.
Speedrunning is normally not a hobby I would describe as "casual" or "accessible," dependent on weird tricks and glitches you'd never even knew existed if you just played a game normally and often are only discovered because someone went digging through its code. High execution requirements, an intense level of understanding of a game, and a willingness to spend hours upon hours practicing are all massive barriers to entering the speedrunning community, and they are all barriers that Neon White shatters. This game is, in effect, "speedrunning for casuals," distilling the best parts of the hobby down into a far more accessible package, which is the exact sort of thing I love to see..
Next up, it's the Nier: Automata GTDM, which is not as far along as I'd like it to be at this juncture, but has been put off long enough. So we're just going to knuckle down and focus on this thing until it's done. That means it'll probably be a good month until the next video, but I hope you're looking forward to it.
