      This just reminded me of a joke Internet Historian made recently where he says that people are taking time to watch his video that they would normally spend watching a 3 hour video essay that basically just says “good game is good”, and then he cuts to a fake clip from such a video essay where it’s gameplay of Fallout with a voiceover saying “Fallout New Vegas is actually the only ‘based’ Bethesda game” in like a soyboy voice.

      I felt extremely called out by that joke because I have watched a number of videos extolling the virtues of F:NV, some of which are definitely pushing 3 hours.

        I enjoy a lot of these long-form critiques. I literally spent the whole 4 hours to watch that 4 hour critique of Galactic Star cruiser by Jenny Nicholson.

        Not all the long critiques are good, but some of them really are great.

        I also watch upwards of 3 hours speedruns of the Fallout series so…

          Lol I literally just watched that Jenny Nicholson video yesterday. It was really funny watching her trying to enjoy and LARP the experience in her footage and the entire thing pushing back against her. Like she came up with a whole character and backstory and went in really wanting to RP a specific story and found out that the whole thing is just randomly generated for every guest in order to create the illusion of being part of a story
