Now I like a lot of video essays when they're interesting deep-dives but this is just ridiculous. You have 20 hours of shit to say about skLOLrim? How much of that is new and unique insight? are you just going through and giving every single set-piece an hour review and a score out of 10? :stalin-stressed:

side note, the channel name gives me chud vibes too :what-the-hell:

    I can get behind long essays, and you shouldn't knock them just for being long or an unusual format, but that being said Patrician TV videos are trash. They're boring and unimaginative, very mlld analysis, and the videos are structured in a pretty obtuse way that gets in the way of more comprehensive analysis.

    Joseph Anderson actually did good ultra-long-format essays, though nothing he could possibly say in his witcher 3 video can make his years of work on that video worth it.

        I tried to watch his one on the "soulsbourne inheritors" in even finding that topic idea really interesting I had to tap out after an hour. If the whole video had been about two hours I might have pushed through it, but damn even podcasts I like typically limit themselves to just one.

      Shaymay also does good long form video game video essays (your algorithm might have pushed the behemoth 5 hour Omega Ruby review back in the day)

      He's not especially chuddy and will occasionally give content warnings for upsetting content but after going through his content, a warning I'll give is that he sometimes jumpscares you with coomer brain comments.

      Anderson is an excellent streamer now too

      Well some of the work Joe has put during the past years was put into his 4 kids rather than making youtube slop. I'll respect him for that.
