Hey mate, hope all is well. Understand that some content creators have this perceived pressure to come back and immediately hit it out the park or feel like they're gonna be awful in their return. I guarantee you that pressure isn't warranted. People would love to see you back and look forward to whatever you want to make. That being said don't fold to doing what the audience wants. Focus on yourself and making what you want.

Hell I say this under the assumption you're on tour way back. If this was the last video you upload to your channel it was one hell of a sunset. Your videos are stellar. Your commentary is fantastic and I hope you're doing well whatever it is you're currently doing.

This game really captures the excitement of gaming in the early 2000s. It's hard to put into words but there was this perfect intersection of chaos, enthusiasm and production values where games were really silly but were starting to become real slick and fun to play. 2005 was its peak.

I dunno where you are or what you do now man, but we miss you. Even if you're not going to make videos anymore, I hope you're doing great!

For those wondering where he went:

He still is active on bluesky, he said about a month ago that YouTube killed his love for gaming and he found himself obsessing over numbers and money which led to a burnout. He said he's going to probably return but videos will be more of a passion related thing rather than a job with regular uploads :)

I'm so glad you shared how you recognized the hand holding a gun meme came from this game because I feel its not something a lot of people know off the bat

I like that True Crime’s idea of punishment is exiling you into its open world.

Two things I’ll always remember about this game. The first is Christopher Walken narrating the game and the second is Snoop Dogg being a secret character in this game.

Classic.

The funniest thing that I've ever seen in a video game happened to me in this game. The game would have random crime events happen that were basically side quests, they would repeat and they would be committed by random citizens each time. One of the crimes was a sexual assault. I get the call for the SA right around the corner from me so I head over there to put a stop to it. The random civilian being assaulted was the largest civilian NPC in the game. A construction worker, flat on his back, legs spread open getting railed by the assaulter. The assaulter, was a little old lady with gray hair and a blue dress straight laying the pipe on this man. I must have laughed a good 5 minutes straight because of how ridiculous that scene was.

Sleeping Dogs was apparently picked up and retitled to True Crime (to be the third title in the series) by Activision, then it was cancelled and picked up by Square Enix, who let the devs continue with the project's original direction. Incredible game.

One of the greatest vibes of the 2000's

Come back bro, I love to clean my house while I listen to you

The way you described GTA is perfect. A blend of systems that on their own would be nothing to write home about, but as a full package it's incredible.
