I'm Charlie, a dad gamer playing games that make me think, and where the creative decisions and strategy of gameplay have an impact on the stories we form together. City builders, business sims, colony survival, factory, etc.
Looking for RPGs and tactical strategy sorts of games, or titles more mature?

Stuff coming up:
CAR DEALER SIMULATOR coming with its new Up 2 U DLC, and I’ve got the coverage coming again with a new play-through with it! Recording begins this coming week.
STARMINER is a game I’ve been playing in Beta and have been involved with previewing in the past. It’s getting released this coming week too! I might not have content immediately on release day, but I’m going to try!
The pacing for this game is pretty slow. It’s not something I’m thinking will work particularly well for a “let’s play” but we’ll see. I have other things of interest to replace it with, if my hunch is correct. Stuff like Goblin Vyke.
ABOVE THE SNOW left for holiday before I could finish it. One last video coming as soon as I can to wrap it up.
XCOM 2: Long War Of The Chosen (Legend) has begun recording for the SECOND CHANNEL. Those who submitted soldiers have early access to the first 6 videos now. I’ll begin publishing that series for the public over there once ChristopherOdd finishes his current run, or the last week of June, whichever happens first.

Final Update here for the upcoming XCOM 2 Play-through.
48 hours remaining to get your own solider in the start of the campaign. Submissions will remain open even after May 22, but the campaign will have begun by then. You don’t need to have any mods, or even own the game yourself, to get one in. Learn more in our Discord.
The series will begin publishing in June on the second channel. Here’s the parameters, for those familiar:
Long War of the Chosen - Legend
There are almost 220 mods, most of which are cosmetic to give more personalization to solider options, and lots of quality of life mods. Nothing majorly impacting balance.
I’ll attempt to strike a balance between being entertaining and educational, as I usually do. If you’re interested in that, keep an eye on the second channel (all links pinned below).
Patrons and Members get early access as usual, even though it is on a different channel. I will also be granting early access to everyone who submits a solider for the campaign as well, so for this series, you don’t have to financially support for that access. You get it merely by submitting for a soldier in the campaign.

Still time to get Pryority placement for the upcoming 10th anniversary XCOM 2 campaign. More information can be found in my 10th anniversary video.
Response has been admittedly slower than anticipated, so there’s still an okay chance to get a soldier nearly the beginning of the campaign. Pinned comment below for info.
You do not need to own the game to make a character. We do it for you. Just need to follow instructions.

HOLLYWOOD ANIMAL devs announced their plans for ACT 2 today, and there’s loads of good stuff in there I’m excited to try out. That said, there’s no mention of Act 1 carrying over into Act 2, and there’s no release date either.
Before their announcement, I recorded 2 videos for Hollywood Animal. With this new info released, those two videos are the end of my Act 1 playlist. “That’s a wrap” on this series. I’ll have those out to you late this weekend.
NEWS TOWER is getting wrapped up too, this weekend. I simply don’t feel incentive to progress more in the game at this time, and so the last episode of the playlist will publish this weekend as well.
That leaves ALL WILL FALL and UNDER PAR on the schedule. I’ve probably got a couple more for AWF left, and I think I’m gonna build the boat after all. We’ll see how viewership interest is for that. As for Under Par, I got another course to make I’m gonna work on this weekend.
ABOVE THE SNOW begins recording early next week. Really looking forward to exploring that. I also have one more announcement for you guys… but you’ll have to wait for tomorrow for that!
Have a great day!

Random poll, just throwing this out there to see how it goes:
How many of you have an interest in a Long War 2 campaign (XCOM 2)?
It’s been a very long time since I’ve played LWOTC, and I’m feeling like another campaign is due lately. I know I have a dedicated few that love it, and would submit soldiers once again, but I have like 100K more subs today than I did back then. Want to gauge interest. How many like it?
If you don’t know what it is, see the link to the last playlist I have for it, linked in the pinned comment.

Wrapped up the Survival run for The Last Starship today, thank you all who could join me for that. Video is of course available on the channel, in case you wanted to see it anyways.
Next game I'll be streaming weekly, still targeting Wednesdays, is GAS STATION SIMULATOR. Don't let the name fool ya... there's a lot of fun stuff in that game. Looks like a lot of fun actually. Hope to see you there for that, Wednesdays.
I do want to bring back my Sunday streams as well, and am considering targeting "I KNOW A GUY" for that day. They've updated that game quite a lot since my video on it, and I'd be starting over on Sunday with that title, since the balance has been totally redone (and my save is invalidated now anyways).
EDIT: Changing my mind, due to some pending content changes coming to I Know A Guy. - I'll be playing Gas Station Sim both Sunday and Wednesday

Wanted to stream the finale for The Last Starship survival run tomorrow, but I simply can't. In addition to some other obligations, I'm simply running behind schedule, and would like to put the time into videos instead. I'll certainly complete that run later in the week though, probably Sunday. Will have it scheduled on the channel when I know for sure which time will work.
In the meantime, I just finished up producing The Last Startship story playlist that's been going, so I'll get those videos out through the week as well, and Blossom gets going again tomorrow, and I'm back in recording the other two tomorrow and Thursday as well. Simply had too many games going at once, and need to really hit a few videos each at a time to keep them moving. Really have to try not to have that happen again. I seem to always spread myself thinner when I see something I want to play. Need to have the discipline to say NO once in a while. :)
Once again I remind everyone: You can always know what I'm working on, what's done, and what's being looked at for the future, by looking at the "Content Plans" channel in my Discord. It's updated multiple times per day when I'm working, so there's never a need to ask in comments when something is coming or whatever. Checking that channel immediately answers that question, as up to date as possible.

Apologies for the slow-down on vids. Real life strikes again. Hoping to be back and swiftly finishing up these 4 projects we’re working on right now next week, and the following.
Also starting Crusader Kings 3 Adventurer start later this month or next too. Exciting to go through the original story I’ve been working on for it. It’s not the same places and characters that you’ve seen popular on YouTube before.
