This is one of my favorite classic YT video essays, the most popular video of a niche video essayer who never blew up during the era where video essays were still a relatively new phenomena and confined to leftist spaces.
It's a video essay about Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It combines late 90s 3D visuals, a game that was a fascinating relic of it's time with interesting ideas on the future, and a breakdown of it's place in history and what it was trying to say.
And I really like the guy's voice. Even though it never blew up at 50k views over 5 years it remains my comfort food video essay, especially after a bowl.
