Us to YouTube: Our views dropped by over 500,000 in August, starting on the exact day YouTube did their AI update. What's up with that? (We have been very consistent every month with around 3 million+ views) YouTube: Nothing abnormal here, everything working as intended! Luv u bye! Me:
YouTube algorithm is not playing nice with us recently. Here's a few of our recent videos you should definitely give some attention to!
Now that Gamescom is over, just the usual reminder we’re signing new sponsors on @secondwindgroup.com! Holidays are coming up fast so we’re booking from Sept - Dec now. Get in touch if you want to work together!
Seriously reconsidering my NYT games subscription
Yahtzee Tries is up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl1c...
I meeeelt your ice creeeeam, space heaterrrr
I driiiink what you bleeeed, mosquiterrr
I'm a shirrrrt with no sleeeeves, wife beaterrrr
I’m stiiill full of cream, cake eaterrrrr
Wow, this is wild! @yomarz.bsky.social just discovered through YouTube restricted mode just how much of our content is visible compared to when that mode is off. Left is off, right is on. If the AI update is auto doing this for people...
This week on Fully Ramblomatic, Yahtzee takes a trip to Sicily to check out Mafia: The Old Country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysi5...
A friend of mine gifted me this lovely portrait of my dog Toffee from the Friends of Oakland Animal Services Bad Art fundraiser a while back; enjoy #OAS
Playing #StarstruckVagabond on the #ROGAllyX plays great @secondwindgroup.com @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social Great game!
If Critical Role (which is still awesome) is no longer your thing, might I suggest our show Adventure is Nigh as an alternative?! It's animated, it's super fun, and episodes are about an hour long. It's our biggest production on Second Wind and deeply underrated. Our fans adore it!
My latest Semi Ramblomatic is up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhYC...
The last two weeks are exactly why view counts are not the measure of success I focus on, on YouTube. Whatever algorithm changes they've made recently hit us pretty hard and yet I'm not overly stressed about it because our revenue is not tied to views. Good time to join us on Patreon though.
The context is revealed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ve-...
Mind wandering while dog walking; We understand the concept of zoomies but is there such a thing as a singular zoomie and if so should it be spelled with an IE or a Y
We've got some fresh new merch in! store.dftba.com/collections/...
Our wonderful community helped us raise $10,000 over the last two weeks to help fund the production of the fifth season of Adventure is Nigh! Goal was smashed tonight on the Hot Monday Energy livestream. Thanks so much. More details soon on when it's filming!
This week's episode of Yahtzee Tries is now available! @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social checked out a wide range of titles this week.
Hey @secondwindgroup.com
I'm back on the 12 hour Second Wind stream to play some Fling to the Finish! www.youtube.com/watch?v=STGy...
Shoutout to the rest of the team at @secondwindgroup.com, who are streaming all day today to raise funds. Support us if you can! The guys and gals are now playing "Fall Guys!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=STGy...
Tomorrow should be good! Kicking it off with PEAK with @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social, @jackpackard.bsky.social, @designdelve.bsky.social and myself. I'm sure we'll be successful together.
Here's a sneak preview of next week's Fully Ramblomatic video, presented without further comment
In about 30 minutes I'm joining @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social over at @secondwindgroup.com He's Playing Öoo (which is great) & Is This Seat Taken - which is about finding where to sit in public whiteout upsetting anyone... and that's what I worry about ALL THE TIME! Watch Here:
This week on Fully Ramblomatic, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social reviewed Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound!
Idly wondering this morning if Kellogg's runs a museum somewhere and how much detail it goes into on why corn flakes were invented
Enjoying all our work? Well good news, you can stay inside and avoid this dreadful Summer heat even more with a 20% discount on our Patreon sub until the end of the month! Plenty of Patreon exclusive vids for you to check out along with tons of other benefits. www.patreon.com/c/SecondWind...
In this week's Semi-Ramblomatic, I get a bit unreasonably cross about dodgy wordplay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKWc...
This week on Fully Ramblomatic, I fulfil my obligations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Sy...

Holy shit, bless you @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social . You also owe me a new monitor.
Oh, banana! This week on Fully Ramblomatic, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social reviewed Donkey Kong Bananza!
I suffer from procrastination a lot has a creative, but the thing that has genuinely been helpful lately is to make this image my desktop wallpaper.
Christ I love thumbnails with prominent questions that I know are going to drive someone up the wall www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfGf...
This week on Fully Ramblomatic, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social takes a look at Persona 5: The Phantom X. What happens when his love of Persona collides with his hatred of gacha games? www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX2U...
In this new episode of Game Arcadia, @thejenna.bsky.social looks back Grand Theft Auto's boundary-pushing decision that ultimately cost the company millions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF7n...

Early morning thought for the day: Instead of putting toothpaste on the brush, should we smear the toothpaste over our teeth and then brush? That's how the dentist does it. Do they know something we don't?
"Oh no this chocolate bourbon biscuit keeps trying to marry all the custard creams!" "Oh sorry I must have bought chocolate MORMON biscuits!" (this was my first thought when I woke up this morning)
It's live now!
Tomorrow Season 4 comes to an end.
Trying Starstruck Vagabond by @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social - the theme is a banger so that’s a genuinely good start!
This week on Semi-Ramblomatic, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social explores why biomes seem to be used in specific order in the Mario games. Presented by @gamemaker.io.
The Adventure is Nigh! season 4 finale is this Saturday. Here are two still showing my two sides as a Dungeon Master. - Immense Concern and Confusion. - Immense Joy and Confusion.
I know it's been out a while but I couldn't pass up talking about this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=av2y...
Whoops, last day of the Steam summer sale. Last chance to get Starstruck Vagabond for a massive 50% off. It's a crate delivering game but in space. store.steampowered.com/app/2448930/...
Yahtzee Tries is up a day late 'cos of holiday stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHCZ...
Would’ve been nice. I was gonna bring the imps back to my new series and have my dude look at them like “what time do you call this”
This week's Fully Ramblomatic episode is a recorded message from @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social as he's out vacationing (we can do that now, thanks to being independent and YOU). It's also time to vote for the game he will review for this year's Summer Drought episode!
Reminder the real The Escapist team that made all the cool stuff you did like is at @secondwindgroup.com now, so go follow us there if you like essays, fun streams and podcasts! Just a brand name, the people are what's important and we're all still together!
#bookreview 📚💙 📚🪐 Fan of? - British humour - Unwilling protagonists Try @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social's Mogworld fullyramblomatic-yahtzee.blogspot.com A minor wizard who wants to stay dead after an inter-school brawl is resurrected as a zombie, but getting killed again isn't as easy as he thinks.
Oh crap I forgot to mention my indie game Starstruck Vagabond is 50% off in the summer sale. It's the deepest discount yet. It's now cheaper than it's ever been to snog cargo and deliver your weird friends. I mean, the other way round. store.steampowered.com/app/2448930/...
This week's SR is about finding a place to call home in a video game, and tangentially mentions Lara Croft's bra at one point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3St...
This week on Fully Ramblomatic, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social reviewed Mario Kart World (and the Switch 2, sorta). Presented by Incogni.
One of my favorite moments www.youtube.com/shorts/ow9f6...
Yahtzee Tries compilation is up! It's four snarky dismissive reviews in one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1Yh...
The week isn't even over yet and our team has been putting out all kinds of great stuff this week. The Dark Souls video is one of our monthly exclusive experimental videos for our Patrons!
I don't see an entry for "another, smaller book"
Every month over at @secondwindgroup.com one of us gets to make whatever video we want… no questions asked. So I asked: How Many Buckets are in Dark Souls 2? And walked the whole game looking for buckets. It’s a Patreon Exclusive video and something I’m stupidly proud of.
And now at last my FR review of what might very well end up unironically being my game of the year www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Vi...
It being Father's Day and me being a Father... I can (without guilt) self-promote and remind everyone to vote for a Villainous Father LaTavia Ticklepuss over at the CRIT Awards. Also, clearly I did not understand that I was supposed to submit a headshot. GO VOTE HERE: www.critawards.org
New Episode of Adventure is Nigh! is here!!! Our heroes chase some ooze right towards the front line. The Florafolk, the FaunaFolk, and some goop are going to fight it out! Watch Here:
I remember joking with my brother, what if Yahtzee did a Zero Punctuation about The Alters. I didn’t expect this at all, I’m so happy 😄
Oh good The Alters is out today so I can finally get this off my chest: The Alters is one of my favourite games of this year. Don't let it slip you by. Full FR review next Wednesday. Put down the bloody Mario Kart for a second. store.steampowered.com/app/1601570/...
Oh dear. Bloober Team got away with remaking SH2 because all they had to do was not fuck up copy pasting the very compelling plot. SH1, meanwhile, was flawed. Cheesy. Convoluted. It needs a lot more filling out. There are so many more ways for this to go wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsOm...
We're talking any TTRPG question you've got! Unrelated, Adventure Is Nigh is nominated for a CRIT AWARD! Not today's topic, but I'll probably excitedly talk about it a little. www.twitch.tv/secondwindgr...
A lot of people wanted @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social to clarify why he didn't like the story of DOOM: The Dark Ages. So, in today's Semi-Ramblomatic episode he's doing just that.
In case you needed another reason to join our Patreon... the next Yahtzee Reads Lore video is out. Apparently, this one is so weird we're going to need a Part 2 down the road. Available at our $5 tier now. www.patreon.com/c/SecondWind...
This week's Fully Ramblomatic is up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLK-...
Saw this ad on Youtube and for some reason felt the need to click the image to get the full context. But the full image didn't appear anywhere on the business's website. Now I am frightened and confused.
Yahtzee Tries was a day late this week to avoid clashing with all that oh so important showcase rubbish www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoZt...
Funny. Trilby's Notes never had an official cover or any kind of key art, really. This was a piece of fanart, I think, though I couldn't tell you who did it
This week's Fully Ramblomatic is on Blades of Fire, the new game from the developer of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metroid Dread. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibHZ...
Latavia Ticklepuss has officially been nominated for "Best Villain" at the CRIT Awards. @critawards.bsky.social Yes, the guy who fondly remembers feeding coconuts to an Alligator-man named Peeknuckle... could be the best villain of 2024! Excited that AiN is among fine competition.
Today's Yahtzee Tries is going out 90 minutes earlier than normal today, from 11:30 Pacific time (that's in about 40 mins) Just so's you know www.youtube.com/watch?v=Riiu...
FR this week covers that new game by the Castlevania Lords of Shadow dudes that seems to have mysteriously flown under the radar www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibHZ...
land of the freeaboos
Episode 8 of Adventure is Nigh! is here!!! 10 points if you can spot all the Dark Souls 2 references. Watch Here:
Tomorrow is new Adventure is Nigh! day!!! This might have been the most difficult episode to edit as it has the toughest balance of tension, drama, and dick jokes. Also it's later in the shoot, so while recording we were both excited and exhausted. 2 hours: 41 minutes of footage down to just 1:04.
You get a parry, and you get a parry, and YOU get a parry! This week's Semi-Ramblomatic from @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social is all about gaming's current obsession with... yea you get the point. Presented by @gamemaker.io.
We've watched your reviews for years and years so this is a real honour. Thank you so much for playing our game!
Without wishing to give anything away, you might want to watch this if you appreciate the reviews where I find something new I actually like www.youtube.com/watch?v=il3w...
This week on Fully Ramblomatic, @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social reviewed Promise Mascot Agency!
It's Time to Try! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrOn...
Secondly, new video out! My way-too-overdue video review of Starstruck Vagabond by @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social of @secondwindgroup.com. Tl;dr, conditional recommendation, disclaimer; i was a tester and am credited in the game. youtu.be/nRfYJOzp31w
This week's episode of Fully Ramblomatic is now available with @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social reviewing DOOM: The Dark Ages!
Finally got around to finishing @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social 's trilogy with Will Leave the Galaxy For Good. As a coming of age teen slice-of-life drama set in Japanese Edo era, it doesn't really work. But if you go in not expecting that, it's actually a really funny sci-fi comedy!
If you're having trouble figuring out how to play with your new Moped or Sigmar deck in The Red Dragon Inn, we've got you covered! (there's also Grinderbin, Dabarella, and Mortimer explainer videos)
It's time to see both ends of the last couple of cliffhangers! They'll have to figure out Reverse Centaurs and Sebastian Piss! Adventure is Nigh! is back this week. Watch Here:
What the hell's the difference between a remake, remaster, reimagining, rerelease, and re-whatever? Yahtzee attempts to find out in this week's Semi-Ramblomatic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IvS...
On this week's Fully Ramblomatic, Yahtzee plays the hottest game of 2006/2025 -- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSb7...
If anybody wants me I'll be in the Yahtzeeverse for the next couple of days. @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social @secondwindgroup.com
