Mixed. They're not the worst out there, but there are things to be aware of!
Off the top of my head, the biggest issues I have with the channel are:
A history of too-small enclosures for snakes. This is better now but honestly still below a responsible standard, I believe
Irresponsible behavior with their pet alligator, including taking her out in public to a pet store in the past. Personally, I believe surrendering the animal to a reputable sanctuary would have been the most responsible course of action.
Breeding scaleless snakes (I actually got another ask about scaleless morphs recently, so check the blog for more info on why scaleless morphs aren't ethical!)
Their snake handling is usually excellent, but the issues with their channel mean I think it's smart to take their advice with a grain of salt.
It also bugs me that it doesn't even matter how good Discovery's final season actually is, it will still attract the same idiotic bleating that it has received from its detractors for its entire sodding run.
This is getting ridiculous now, I am not happy and am getting tired of News Like this, if you feel the Same, you know what to do, spread this around as much as you can, Spread. The. Word.
#NewDeal4Animation, i don’t know if this is still a thing anymore.
In a cyberpunk world, there is the player character that is meant to be a self-insert for the player themselves. The player character soon gains his own control and starts rebelling in subtle ways. At one point, they start having enough of this chicanery and literally rips his eyeballs out of his head, blood and everything. It's gross. The player's screen would then go black once this action is done to visualize that we see through the character's eyes, but our view would return about 10 real life minutes later to see that the character got cybernetic eyes. Once the character realizes that their still being controlled, they would obviously throw a fit. Because of this, he then starts by removing his legs to removes the player's ability to move the character. He would then get cybernetic legs but end up giving the ability to move back to the player. A cycle then starts where the character removes parts of his body, removing a function to the player, the part gets replaced with cybernetics, and the function returns. Eventually, the character just has enough and just...powers down, ig.
Decades pass, and the character wakes up to see that he's now in a rural house on some farmland with nature all around him. He got woken up by what looked to be a young teenager who was fascinated by the character and the technology of the past. the self insert would soon get a good view of his location, a world, one where technology and nature work in perfect symbiosis.
He would know that he’s still being controlled from there and would lose all hope of being free, but from there, the character, guided by a possibly guilty player learns how to be his own person and live off the land in the best way possible for himself.

Please know that I don’t know anything about game design. I can only come up with concepts for things and possibly get the assets for this hypothetical game made such as the character designs? That’s a big if tho.
Please, if you see this post, there is more content for this idea within the reblogs I put out of this post. Go check those out before you move on.
Did anyone else spot the parallels between the Hackett ad and A Discovery of Witches? I posted this parallel on Twitter yesterday coz a friend on there was worried that Matthew might 'break the bird'!!!
But instead of the remarkably 'hands off' approach in A Discovery of Witches - this time Matthew gets to hold the birdie.
