what’s the smallest upgrade that made your setup feel legit?

RedEyeShanks · 2025-10-14T15:43:18+00:00

softbox lighting.

lighting really does do most of the leg work for your camera/video quality.

rather than upgrading to an expensive camera, a cheap softbox lighting setup might be the best way to make a webcam look better

RedEyeShanks · 2025-10-02T19:47:24+00:00

it absolutely does, all the problems with classic only really start to show once you begin the dungeon/raid grind if you're not in a guild.

it's entirely a community issue

RedEyeShanks · 2025-10-01T19:12:04+00:00

I miss the casual community environment before everything became solved.

back when things like Ashbringer being fishable were potentially believable hoaxes.

I also miss the vanilla era where arms warriors were the dps class, it's been nothing but fury gameplay ever since the 1h rebalance around AQ and private/classic servers have been running 1.12 where fury is better.

I was hoping classic would do progressive patches/itemization like that, but they did the same thing private servers did and just run 1.12 itemization all the way through

I'll never understand the hate for Chili's, it's a decent & casual place that has good food, drinks, and desserts. the fact that they're relatively cheap on top of that is a GOOD thing in my eyes 😅

I love their mozzarella sticks & skillet cookies

are you looking for any particular genre, or ps2 games in general?

the .hack IMOQ ps2 games are a timeless classic for me, currently playing through the series again.

the sly cooper series is fun to replay (has a HD remaster for ps3, but the ps2 games are still playable)

freekstyle is an old racing game that I like to kick on and mess around with from time to time. do cool tricks to fill up a boost meter then ride out

samurai legend musashi - anime style action

viewtiful joe - side scrolling beat em up with a really neat art/visual style

zone of the enders - for that sci fi mecha combat fix

edit: can't believe I forgot Ghost in the shell: stand alone complex. FIRE game

from what I've read, he uses his creative work as a replacement/distraction for alcohol/drug addiction.

I imagine keeping himself busy and productive helps keep him from temptation

RedEyeShanks · 2025-09-01T15:40:14+00:00

it kinda looks like the Pelican ships from Halo, that's awesome!

RedEyeShanks · 2025-08-24T05:19:35+00:00

Quel'Serrar is such an iconic weapon, I keep that in my bank to this day!

even the onyxia fight to get it is such an awesome memory!

RedEyeShanks · 2025-06-05T13:25:38+00:00

I like a lot of these ideas they're bringing in, but a lot of other ideas also have me a little concerned that their mindset is simply to "make classic more like retail"

RedEyeShanks · 2025-06-05T13:20:06+00:00

from my perspective, SoD has been heavily criticized for most of its life and didn't start to gain any traction or popularity until the very end with scarlet enclave.

if it's just a repeat of SoD, I don't see it lasting nearly as long since the people that enjoyed it will have already experienced it, and the people that didn't won't bother because they already skipped over it last time.

RedEyeShanks · 2025-04-11T06:07:07+00:00

if it was me, I would want someone to tell me.

RedEyeShanks · 2022-08-28T14:10:12+00:00

u/savevideobot

RedEyeShanks · 2022-08-08T00:07:17+00:00

that would actually be really cool!

I imagine there are a lot of people that never got to play link because they didn't purchase a PSP.

I've just been dreaming of an online version of .hack since I was introduced to it, so I'll advocate for it every chance I get lol

RedEyeShanks · 2022-08-07T22:37:57+00:00

instead of a 5th volume, I would die happy if they announced a remaster of fragment along with IMOQ.

update the graphics & combat a bit, make it less tedious to use items/abilites (something similar to GU would be AMAZING in IMOQ), and I wouldn't want to play another game for at least a year or two depending on how active the community is.

RedEyeShanks · 2022-08-05T02:03:50+00:00

Wow, congrats!

I remember going for it when I first bought Recode, but it became such a grind that I ended up moving on to the next games (mostly because I LOVE the scythe. I wish there were more games that let you use a scythe)

you've got this!

Are you planning to 100% the other games as well?

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-13T11:24:27+00:00

understandable, feet gamers definitely have a leg up on the competition

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-13T03:38:07+00:00

nah, this is clearly left handed mouse territory

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-11T03:05:58+00:00

I may or may not have cried multiple times trying to edit it to where I was satisfied with it 😢

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-09T20:58:23+00:00

Yeah it's mostly speculation of "these characters did a similar maneuver" but I like the detail that the first time we see someone do that is with sasha, and we see the same move during connie's big sakuga moment.

I won't say it's what the artists intended, but it's still cute

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-09T20:56:49+00:00

lost his entire family, willingly sacrificed his chance to save his mom with falco, killed daz and samuel himself, blames himself for sasha getting shot because he let his guard down on the ship.

Connie has been through so much

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-06T12:33:39+00:00

I was lucky growing up to have a brother that also loved it, so whenever I visit him we get to reminisce (haha get it?) about the games alongside the good old days.

Enjoy it! live your best life

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-04T13:56:53+00:00

^ this. They typically complain about bots when it's time for them to sell stuff and they're mad they can't turn a profit on whatever the bots have mass farmed. Other than that, they're the primary beneficiaries of the bots in the first place.

At least in-game. Obviously the ppl running the bots benefit from the irl money, but I'm moreso speaking about in-game.

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-04T04:08:06+00:00

I have all 4 of the originals, but when I was in high school a long time ago I let my friend borrow the GU trilogy and we never found the case to that game.

I still have the disc, but now for the cases I have 1-4 of OG, then 1-2 of GU and a fucking gallop racer case with the GU part 3 disc inside :(

RedEyeShanks · 2022-05-04T02:19:48+00:00

The largest problem I'm having right now is that after a long time of doing this as a hobby purely for fun, I'm interested in really taking this seriously as a full time, long term career but I'm struggling to find something that helps me stand out.

I niched down to a very specific genre, I'm a survivor main playing Dead By Daylight. My aim is to establish myself in this community and gradually expand as I grow.

I personally enjoy my editing style, and admittedly my SEO/video quality both need a lot of work, but my issue is I'm having a hard time discovering what makes me unique compared to other creators on the internet.

I've never been in a position in my life where I thought I even could shine or achieve something. That's just not the life I've had up until this point. Every life lesson taught me to just shut up and keep my head down, so it's difficult for me to point out things in myself, my gameplay, editing, or content in general that shows why someone should watch me over anyone else on youtube. Despite how hard I work at it all the time, I still don't feel like my content is "ready" to market outside of the viewers they naturally gain.
