Please do more content like this! I love the shorter, main channel style videos

[@MemberRoach]

Sometimes, there comes a combination of sounds and images that is perfect by all standards. 1:40 - 1:52 is such a moment in time and space. To me, it's like a modern day Mona Lisa. Or the Starry Night painting. Or That one symphony that one dude heard in a dream and tried to recreate, and made the best symphony of his times. I think the devil was the one who played it best (that's what the guy said). Anyway. Pyro, your editor is an artist and deserves a raise in pay. That's the least you could do. And I guess you are to credit for this too. But you already got money, so be a philanthropist.

[@SmolBeanMyth]

8-BitRyan is amazing. And seeing him show up in Pyro's video is even more amazing. It's like Ryan teaching his son how to beat a puzzle game (even if they're not far apart from age)

[@bravehobo]

2:17 zoo- WHAT

[@coltonbarnes7861]

Zoochosis

[@kellmedd4925]

Zoonomaly literally came out not long after Zoochosis teaser trailer dropped. It's no coincidence. When people see something trending, they copy that idea until it's milked to the bone.

[@V1DE0-STARZ]

@@kellmedd4925They said zoo- WHAT? because pyro said CHOW. Not like psychosis, which is how zoochosis is supposed to be pronounced. He said zoo cHO sis. You say chosis like zoo Co-sis

PETSCOP 2 IS NOT A MEME PYROOOOO. ITS A CRY OF DESPERATION FOR A REALITY THAT WILL NEVER COME TO PASS DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?

[@BeeCygNus]

I love that a lot of games with stun mechanics, they could've just make it so the enemies slowly accelerating until they can catch you and stunning them reset it, that way you can create the tension with like the least amount of effort, yet they still choose to just let them start off full speed instantly because this is a rage game not a horror game !

At first when I saw the mechanic of light = ammo, I thought, "Damn, that's pretty smart way of always having tension with not too many ez win places" but then the rest of the game came I feel like with no light puzzles and the stun being reworked it'd be such a good game The models look a bit like garten of banban but I don't mind too much I think?
