Today, DJ Peach Cobbler examines addiction in video games, and explains how RUINER does it right. He also finds a way to shit on Blizzard because lootboxes are just plain bad game design.
Why Ruiner is good: crunchy gameplay makes my lizard brain go stupid Why Ruiner is bad: *the lady calls me puppy and i think it's awakening something inside me that i don't want to be realized*
_"You are so greatly underestimating the sheer potential of my techophiliac femdom-related petplay powered self-humiliation, it's not even fun at this point"_
The Ruiner soundtrack has some tracks that edge into Synthwave territory but it has other tracks that are basically just industrial noise rock, some that feel very goth, some I'd say are more Witch House... it's a broad array of dark, industrial, often ambient and noisy electronic music. But yes it's all stuff that many synthwave fans are going to dip their toes into as well.
Everytime I watch these guy’s videos I totally forget what the videos about because he spends the first half of the video on the example he’s going to use on the actual topic he’s talking about... oh and I’m not complaining btw this guys hella entertaining
I do not have anything clever or witty to say other than this was a really nice video and you get an up-vote for me. Also I agree that Ruiner's soundtrack is something no mere mortal could have possibly have ever created because it is just that fucking amazing.
I've been listening to "Rise" nonstop. I didn't want to say in the video that it's my favorite soundtrack ever, because I just feel that there hasn't been enough time for me to be sure, but it is BARE MINIMUM my 3rd favorite ever. I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for the upvote, its hard getting my videos out there so every bit helps.
I know, Zamilska did an awesome job on the soundtrack. Ruiner has one of the most unique and attention-grabbing soundtracks out there, it's on the same level with Doom 2016.
Oh man, I somewhat expected Hades and Hotline Miami to be brought up, but never would have though of someone even mentioning Synthetik, much less Brigador. Thank you for reminding me that these truly incredible titles sit in my Steam library.
like every game that's even slightly difficult is now DaRkSoUls. Look just because you limit yourself to crappy, overpriced, overrated 3A games doesn't mean I do.
Talking about addiction: Everytime you finish a stage with an s-rating, you see puppy girl without pants. I always saw this as a commentary to cheap, addictive reward mechanics in games. Anyways, I love this game. The movement is so snappy.
That is what meditation, yoga, qi gong etc is for. To switch from a dopaminergic oriented brain towards a seritonergic oriented one. Dopamine keeps you in an addictive loop as you have to chase the rewards in order to get out over and over and over again just for that short blip that you also build a tolerance towards. Switch to serotonin production gives you feelings of fullness and belonging instead which is a lasting sensation of satiation which doesn't require action to achieve it but the opposite. It keeps you calm and relaxed as you feel that you have arrived Vs. Dopamine that never lets you arrive or achieve but just keeps pushing you onwards hungry for more.
@@PonyJarCollector yes indeed. That's all that's too it, and if that's what you resonate with... Great that you found your own way. It's there something specific you pray for?
@@sonkeschmidt2027 I'll pray to keep my loved ones spirits strong in Jesus Christ, pray for those in need of it that day, anything my mind is lingering on, just for guidance to find my way through any hardships with integrity.

You made me addicted with this video. I can't stop seeing this again and again, no matter how much days or hours did I already seen it. I'm almost remembering your entire script of this.
you made me realize the subconscious reason I stopped playing Overwatch. also ruiner is pretty dope and deserves all the praise for being the good cyberpunk style game we wanted
I keep seeing this idea of "if everyone stopped by loot boxes, publishers would see theyre not lucrative and stop putting them in games" but the reality is they don't care too much about the people buying $1 or $5 boxes. They care about the people spending literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on their microtransactions and good luck convincing those addicts to stop
Answer to your guessing what the soundtrack genre is called. Its mostly a mix called witch house( artist sidewalks and skeletons) and some hardwave music for those wondering
i’ll drop a lil note the majority of the music played is from zamilska “polish artist” and her works are usually “industrial” as far as genres go i haven’t heard about witch house but yeah and as weird as it sounds, yes. a genre called industrial exist. check the artist out though, honestly great stuff.
Far Cry 3… especially when it was new. First game where I legit felt pulled into a murder spree. First, it was an anxious walk of survival that the rewarding gameplay kept me encouraged to face, then feeling like an unstoppable and homicidal force of nature as you keep going, and what’s great is, it mirrors Jason Brody’s experience as the main character in the story. Best game to do this that I’ve played anyway
I absolutely fucked my finals due to me getting addicted to Caves of Qud. Also, on the topic of cosmetics, I feel like "it's fine if its just cosmetics" refers to warframe style cosmetic acquisition, not slot ma- I mean loot boxes
Just letting y’all know the main hub theme is by the guy who did the ‘97 Berserk anime soundtrack. HER has the Brand of Sacrifice from Berserk and a pill from Akira as pins on her clothing. One guy has a TMNT Donatello pin on his jacket. There’s a boss in the game that is literally just the SFX designer as a self insert. And you get to brutally kill him. There are robot cats that you can hack that say they feel violated and will call PETA on you. To get across what exactly her tone is, HER will use those text faces with parentheses and Asian language characters in her dialogue. There’s a part in the game where you have to kill a bunch of weak enemies and the game just gives you an ungodly amount of flamethrowers while this epic, booming soundtrack plays as you unleash your destruction. If you’re using a controller and hold up on the d-pad, your character does push ups and a counter appears on screen. It’s literally a better cyberpunk game than Cyberpunk 2077. Also, HER is hot as fuck, good lord.
It's techno from zamilska and sidewalks and skeletons is witchhouse. The game itself is stylized as a techno rave. And you are visibly american or young. Dark ambient is in fallout 1-2
I have never felt so burnt out as I have playing peggle. I imagine its what a old man wasting his savings as he sits lonely at the slots is like. It makes you ponder the mediocrity of life and why it even matters. If we woefully partake in this cycle then why? As my power went out and my game stopped I was freed from my brightly lit nightmare. I then sat in the corner for an hour as I waited for the power to come back on and I achieved true unmistakable enlightenment.
This is almost exactly how I feel. It sucks when I have friends who don’t mind this micro transaction system if it’s for a game they like and idk how to convince them otherwise
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a quick building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. A good placement and timing with Guards and The Log will fully counter the Hog Rider, canceling all Hog hits. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough. if u see this sub pls lol
Far Cry 5 actually made me feel controlled and brainwashed like this game does, particularly the part with Jacob. He told me over and over that I was gonna do what he wanted. And I kept running the hallucination kill course over and over until it was tedious and I did it unthinkingly. Then right after I noticed the bodies weren't disappearing into vapor, I did it. I did exactly what he said I would do, unthinkingly, after repetitive training. The in-game character was brainwashed, and so was I, the real human being playing the game. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

@@esotericschizoidoccultconjurer I ain't denying your existence, all I'm saying is that your profile name doesn't exactly match with the description you gave. Namely the "incubus" part.
Loot boxes were done right in COD WW2, its a controversial opinion but the rewards felt worth it and was a genuine challenge to obtain for FREE. I didn't spend a cent after buying the game yet I loved it even though it allowed you to buy loot crates, it even at one point gave you currency to buy crates and it didn't feel worth it. The quartermaster was fun and was a challenge and was FREE. If COD could do it, its possible.
Late but the OST is mainly Witchouse music. Pretty darn good but also has a japanese composer on it , Susumu Hirasawa with the amazing song island door
Honestly, ruiner, after having played it, could've been a fun rogue lite, or a story about revenge (for getting hacked), or just an apocalypse. Imagine a story where you are the ruiner, a vigilante who takes down corrupt organizations but to be honest it really does look like a rogue lite, and the games mechanics compliment a roguelite aswell
Firsts things first, thank you for this video. I bought Ruiner recently after watching this and haven't been so happy with a purchase in a long time, I came back to watch this video again after completing the game and as well as laughing my ass off I have to say you conveyed everything to T in a very fitting manner, I really can't tell you how appreciative I'm am of the game and your work here, thanks again Cobbler👍
2:15 "it's harmless" tell that to WoW players. My friend literally became agoraphobic after doing nothing but playing and then realizing he hadn't left his house in months and didn't know how to be a human anymore.
Excellent video, lad (I call people on internet lads instead of puppy). You are on point with the information you provide and I honesty think people have a lot to think about after listening to this video. This is something I miss playing video games, watching movies and stuff. Thinking about it.
This made me realize how significant it was to pick up red orbs and watch the pool go down as they get spent on older God of War games; GoW 4 was great, but it was missing that extra rewarding oomph.

Damn i love this game so much
I can’t believe that you only have 70K subscribers like Jesus Christ your content is absolutely amazing
This is almost exactly how I feel. It sucks when I have friends who don’t mind this micro transaction system if it’s for a game they like and idk how to convince them otherwise
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a quick building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand.
The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells.
A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more.
A good placement and timing with Guards and The Log will fully counter the Hog Rider, canceling all Hog hits.
The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball.
However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter.
Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible.
It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value.
In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation.
Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage.
When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings.
Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building.
Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox.
If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique.
For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed.
For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa.
They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower.
The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push.
A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted
A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower.
This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower.
The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it.
A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower.
Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.
A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough.
if u see this sub pls lol
Love your vids bro
Far Cry 5 actually made me feel controlled and brainwashed like this game does, particularly the part with Jacob. He told me over and over that I was gonna do what he wanted. And I kept running the hallucination kill course over and over until it was tedious and I did it unthinkingly. Then right after I noticed the bodies weren't disappearing into vapor, I did it. I did exactly what he said I would do, unthinkingly, after repetitive training. The in-game character was brainwashed, and so was I, the real human being playing the game. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
The fucking coloring on the walls and burning house down got me good. Excellent point and hilarious execution
Man I just wanted to say I love your vids the fallout and stalker one were the best I hope that you get more subs just don’t give up it will come soon just keep trying

Well i didn't expect to hear about my beloved home, The Sudetenland, in a Cobbler video. Cheers from Teplice!
awesome editing near the end
Loot boxes were done right in COD WW2, its a controversial opinion but the rewards felt worth it and was a genuine challenge to obtain for FREE. I didn't spend a cent after buying the game yet I loved it even though it allowed you to buy loot crates, it even at one point gave you currency to buy crates and it didn't feel worth it. The quartermaster was fun and was a challenge and was FREE.
If COD could do it, its possible.
you are my addiction, your videos give me joy
Quite a few human people have ruined their lives to be called puppy
Bro I can't believe it was only like a couple years ago that you were had less than 10k subs. I love that you've gotten this sort of following
“get up puppy” hit me more makima
Late but the OST is mainly Witchouse music. Pretty darn good but also has a japanese composer on it , Susumu Hirasawa with the amazing song island door
Great video, man! Really informative video.
Good points man.
Your articulate sentiments decorate the saturation of this site.
"You know; Fun, that thing that games were before they turned into software programs designed to steal money from children"
Damn.
It's the only game I've played that has witch house music and I fell in love with it immediately, didn't stop playing till I had every achievement
Honestly, ruiner, after having played it, could've been a fun rogue lite, or a story about revenge (for getting hacked), or just an apocalypse. Imagine a story where you are the ruiner, a vigilante who takes down corrupt organizations
but to be honest it really does look like a rogue lite, and the games mechanics compliment a roguelite aswell
Firsts things first, thank you for this video.
I bought Ruiner recently after watching this and haven't been so happy with a purchase in a long time, I came back to watch this video again after completing the game and as well as laughing my ass off I have to say you conveyed everything to T in a very fitting manner, I really can't tell you how appreciative I'm am of the game and your work here, thanks again Cobbler👍
did not expect the clip with dean Pelton showing up
The kill sound when you kill someone in Battlefield 1 is so good
So, what I took from this is that drugs are better than loot boxes. Thanks Cobbler.
2:15 "it's harmless" tell that to WoW players. My friend literally became agoraphobic after doing nothing but playing and then realizing he hadn't left his house in months and didn't know how to be a human anymore.
I think of super hot as the awakening. The start to realizing we are being controlled and something like ruiner as taking it a step further.
i forgot i clicked a video talking about a specific game untill 6 min in
More cobbler, I must sleep in peace
Excellent video, lad (I call people on internet lads instead of puppy). You are on point with the information you provide and I honesty think people have a lot to think about after listening to this video. This is something I miss playing video games, watching movies and stuff. Thinking about it.
God in dark souls 3 when the music stops and you light the bonfire after 90 failed attempts at a boss is an amazing feeling
God i love your style of analysis and point-making
thank u funny pie man
Your take on "it's just cosmetics" is literally the same as mine, just voiced more eloquently.
You just got yourself another sub, man.
It's nice to know that I learn new things like Pathlovian conditioning
Its interesting seeing this after mandalore video.
Still a great video with wonderful storytelling. Bravo!
I still forgot this is ruiner video after watching it 100 times
This made me realize how significant it was to pick up red orbs and watch the pool go down as they get spent on older God of War games; GoW 4 was great, but it was missing that extra rewarding oomph.
I still dont understand how people compare this game to Hotline Miami. But im glad to see it got some proper appreciation.
I never noticed the slight bob on the cobbler head as you talk. It's the smallest thing but it also makes a world of difference in how good it looks. You have an animated avatar yet you still find a way to add some nonverbal communication
Supposedly there'll be a sequel so that's exciting
That last line hit me too hard
