geist - meat suit riot (Patreon)

This was one I was really excited about.

So the story in the intro of this video is correct in the sense that someone did once do me a kindness and asked for a video on this game and that was a long, long time ago. I never forgot. This game lived rent free in my head for years.

Every October, I thought "this is going to be the year" and something usually prevented it. I fought with a lot of technical issues at the time but never forgot about geist (stylized with no capitalization, for reasons) and a few months ago I returned to it with renewed vigor, hoping to finally capture gameplay for a Halloween episode. A mix of a faster PC and a more updated version of Dolphin resulted in me being able to play the whole thing through without a hint of the weird graphical issues I was originally seeing.

I had a lot of fun with this even when it wasn't running well or looking pretty. It's not often that I touch a console game and I was happy to do something a little different this time around. I hope you all enjoy it! It was a blast to play the game and make the video.

Happy Halloween,

-Civvie

P.S. In hindsight, problems with QTEs may be linked to me overclocking by 20% to get better performance out of the game, if that kind of thing is tied to the framerate, which is entirely possible.  Also, no hate on F.E.A.R. 2, I just wanted to do a joke about the ending.

P.P.S. I said I was tired of Starfield discourse in the last S.T.A.L.K.E.R. episode. This has been retconned for the sake of jokes.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name, it will be in the next upload.
