Thanks for watching! How do you guys feel about the ongoing attack on game preservation? Let me know!

[@GhostTruck67]

I talk about this quite a bit. I read a statistic that something around 88 percent of games ever made are unavailable for purchase- its ridiculous.

Don't know why games are considered art when they have artwork, dialogue, themes, and music all in a single cartidge/disc

[@flaaphy]

For real! The game industry deserves way more respect. It’s so funny that Cuphead, which was entirely hand drawn, isn’t even respected as actual art by some people
