Videos you find neat - For shit that doesn't need its own thread


There's this little tech demo called Fatal Fantasy VII some Japanese guys made on the PS1 Net Yaroze home development kit around the same time Final Fantasy VII was out.

It's a shame those development kits were so severely limited. Imagining if they had actually made a real game in this FFVII knock-off style would have been incredibly neat. I've read the translations of the text. It's a parody of FFVII.

They were able to actually make a fully playable action RPG using Net Yaroze. It takes less than half an hour to complete, and the Engrish translation is hilariously awful, but that's what makes it charming and neat for me.


And one that's not Japanese, an adventure game titled... "Adventure Game".


It's barebones as hell but the writing is amusing and some of the art assets are quite decent. Again it has a strange sort of charm.

There's a few more Net Yaroze games I really liked back in the day, but that's it for the adventure/RPG kinda stuff. I might make another post to cover a few more good games made using Net Yaroze that have more of an arcade kind of feel.
 
TtheWriter's channel. It's just some guy sitting in front of a camera telling stories about past D&D campaigns, but he has that odd mix of being both entertaining enough to pay attention when you want to, and excellent background noise if you're the person who needs something to fall asleep quickly to. I enjoy listening to him. His stories are interesting, and anyone who plays tabletop can relate to having a metric ton of stories we all tell about the shenanigans our players find themselves in.

 
Meet your new favorite geologist
He teaches at a who-gives-a-fuck school in the middle of nowhere. But you want to make all sorts of roadtrips to look at fucking ROCKS after watching a few of his lectures. Lectures he gives to the public for free in an auditorium in downtown Ellensburg Washington to a bunch of retired farmers because why not.

There are hours and hours of his public lectures on youtube on all sorts of topics. They are all fascinating.
