Also: “I don’t have time to watch a 20min video.” Four 6min videos? “Count me in!”
I mean, it’s brilliant!

Looking at you summoningsalt
I watch reviews for old games I already know a lot about, just to hear the stupid hot takes modern gamers who weren’t even alive at the time the game they’re playing was released have about games that were awesome in their own time that may not have held up to today’s standards.
Like all the dudes that wonder how Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are considered good when something from 2019 is so much better. lol
They don’t appreciate the technical leaps either. DOOM was mind-boggling ahead of it’s time and Carmack is an absolute genius but kids these days couldn’t care less.
Boomer shooters are all the rage right now.
I didn’t expect to be attacked today. Some games I don’t like the game play but the lore is fire
Let’s be real, no one actually ever finished Outer Wilds.
Speak for yourself! I couldn’t get enough of that game, got %100 on it and restarted it to complete it again (although I don’t think I got every log the second time around)
You beat Myst without taking any notes too didn’t you? 😝
Lol, now that’s one I never got around to beating xD
You didn’t have to call me out like that
Is that a novel or something?

Bonkers to me that you did not finish it. The game is not very hard, extremely rewarding, and has a beyond phenomenal ending. I could not stop playing it and absolutely shed tears when the ending credits rolled.
It certainly helps that TV is garbage these days.
I think it’s just a problem of quantity over quality because the streaming era has flooded the market with so much filler just to justify their overpriced subscriptions, but there’s still a handful of awesome stuff if you want to take the time to sift through the garbage to find it. Fargo is pretty good if you liked the movies. Mr. Robot was great. The first season of True Detective was excellent, and season 4 with Jodie Foster comes out in January.
Hopefully now that the writers are going back to work with better contracts, things will start to turn around.
Eve Online.
That is the perfect example, lol
I really don’t watch TV shows or movies much anymore, just long form content from YouTube. Give me a few one hour videos on retro computers and am golden.
That one channel where every video is just dunking on Billy Mitchell about everything and anything.
i feel personally attacked
There’s ironically less commitment. No need to worry about missing something crucial by looking away, no struggle to stay engaged with the plot.
This post is just an ad for vaatividya isn’t it!?
I often watch his videos to go to sleep. Although I do actually play all those games.
I love watching Rust videos but hate playing FPS.
TV SHOWS.
WHY?
The 24 minute ones are throw away recylcled plots painted with whatever genre and cast the show thinks people will like at the time its released.
The hour long ones are secretly 8+ hour movies, which are ALSO just throw away recycled plots painted with whatever genre and cast the algorithms think are popular at the time of creation.
Bring on the long format youtube videos. Game plots are often much more nuanced than traditional media, and learning about something you’re already interested in is leagues better than drinking in whatever throw away plot the whatever throw away characters are doing today in adult animated show #56.
Maybe TV shows need to be more interesting than a 3 hour gaming video.
