Happy to see the credits gags are still here.
Good to see Yahtzee going, and the content is still on point. The graphics will take time getting use to but that's a me problem.
I really liked the new backgrounds. They would make mice wallpapers
Not thrilled with the brand being called "Second Wind" and feeling pretty indifferent towards the name "Fully Ramblomatic" too (though I get that it's a callback to the pre-Escapist prototype show Yahtzee made).
That being said, content-wise it's impressive how seamlessly they managed to transition from Escapist IP (music and the cartoon imps) into something that is legally different but looks and feels (and sounds!) exactly the same.
And the real victory is getting out from under the corporate censorship boot, of course.
It’s his personal website name. I really don’t mind it.
Glad they escaped that shit show of a company.

I see what you did there.
I don't mind it per se but "Second Wind" reads much weaker and less related to its content than The Escapist. But they had to whip up something over a weekend so it's understandable they haven't had time to brainstorm branding extensively.
I just hope it takes off properly and they find success with it.
It’s probably just me but it’s giving me classic FF vibes. The name echoes the highwind and the design implies a Phoenix rising again.
I think it’s going to grow on people. I understand it still being fresh and not sitting right.
I think "Non-existent Gramatical marks" is a better name.
