      The moronic thing about this is if you watch stuff where he's candidly speaking like when he's a guest on other channels or even on his 2nd channel he actually knows a shit ton about vidya off hand. He's like actually autistic as frick but he's also constantly hedging his more controversial opinions and referencing how people will hate what he says so he plays shit way too safely and yea his videos are basically just wiki articles + jokes. I think some of his jokes are pretty clever tbh but it's also very normie level stuff. Somewhere in there is a person who could make great videos but that's not what we get.

          Yea true kek. He also had to make an entire Christmas special flagellating himself for not enjoying RPGs. It was like a coming out video or something. He's very much a normie to be clear, he just knows a lot about video games and seems to actually like them.

            Sponsored videos only mean he has to be relatively nice to the sponsor, not to the game he's reviewing. And even then he's always trying his best to do backhanded compliments to the sponsors, instead of just reading the script they send.
            I'm honestly shocked the fricker even has sponsorships in his videos after NordVPN pulled the plug on them and he made back to back videos about competing tank MMOs, basically getting paid to talk shit for both teams.

      I actually enjoy those challenge run videos. It's interesting to see how viable a particularly niche build or weapon is. Sometimes they hit unexpected roadblocks and have to get very creative to pass them. Also, watching people suffer for entertainment is just timeless.

        Agreed. But sometimes they really are just
        >Same shit but more tedious
        I enjoyed parts of my Dark Souls 3 SL1 run when I had to be more wary of chip damage. The ring that reduces the damage you take while you're at max HP makes it so most of the base game allows you to survive hits from attacks that normally oneshot you. So slower bosses were fine, but faster bosses or bosses that put small hazards everywhere were suddenly a lot more difficult and I had to plan around that and look for openings in those attacks. (Could've just stood back and wait for good move rng but that's only tedious)

        That Pannenkoek video is good because it is not normal gameplay, to put it lightly.

          It doesn't, he just doesn't like the guy pointing it out and likes the guy who committed the (alleged) plagiarism so he's going to defend it mindlessly out of spite and tribalism.

          Much like, as he says, he supports AI art because it pisses off people he doesn't like This is your brain on tribalism and contriarianism.

        It entirely diminishes the importance of the points when you know they have vested interest to make it as horrible and impactful sounding as possible without bordering on being ridiculous about it, which would blow over for them.
        However, this is different from your point because it applies to both sides. Both blow things out of proportion when it supports their agenda. That and dramagays, numbergays, politicsgays, etc, metagays (as in, caring about something other than the actual thing) in general disgust me, though the brain rot in each is different throughout, its similar in how their focus is clearly not genuine.
        It's extremely sad that discussions almost always have, not only one of them, but even a couple of them. They should kill themselves now.

            If he actually transformed the content to make something original out of it. Sure. Straight up copying an entire script word for word is not okay.

            You are literally just defending content theft. You don't even have an actual defense for it, you're simply saying "stealing from others is based". Yeah it's "based" until it's you or a youtuber you like being stolen from then suddenly you will no longer think it's based. The amount of times I've seen someone of your ilk make these kind of arguments then suddenly cry when the same shit happens to them is too many to count. But it's always funny as frick when it does happen.

            You might as well just say "I have no morals, I think I should be allowed to do anything I want without consequence, but if you do the same to me you're the bad guy" because that is what you homosexuals actually believe.

            Yes and that's bad as well (assuming they show the entire video, because then they're effectively reposting someone else's content to compete against them with their own content in the algoritihim, both fricking them out of potential views who will never watch the original now and fricking them in the algorithim because most likely the raection has more views and will be the top search result and what pops up in people's recommended feed, not the original)

              He should've made a four hour video of him getting angry, mourning, then meditating, then finally just saying to the camera he enjoyed darksouls 2.
              It's ok hbomberguy. I liked my replay too. Way more than elden wienerrings 180 hour first playthrough repetitve glitchy adhd snoozefest desperate for new interesting content.
              But the video felt like denial for looking up to and liking that one nice uncle who turned out to be supporter of some horrible dicatorship regime when he was young.
              It's ok if you have warm feeling towards him being cool around you. It's ok darksouls 2 is shitty in many regards. Other people can't take your enjoyment of the good parts away from you and you shouldn't feel obligated to make up poorly constructed fairytales of why his faults were actually part of some misunderstood genius ploy of either the creator of the people conspiring against you.

      I can't take any of this Internet Historian controversy seriously because all the people getting mad at this are troons that unironically label him as a "far right Ganker chud" and were just waiting for an opportunity to shit on him. It's interesting how these people manage to be so fricking annoying and moronic that it invalidates what they're saying, I can't take criticism of AI art seriously either because of how irritating the people arguing against it are.

      I don't think him plagiarizing is good, but honestly he should just come out, do a quick apology, and move on. I think hbomberguy trying to get on his case for "ermmmm having le heckin bad fanbase" is just him trying to find the smallest thing to whittle away at IH with, because he's been seething that someone who was openly anti-sjw at some point is actually doing really well

                of all the internet terms to jump someone for, "breadtuber" is not one of them.
                The only way you would encounter that term is either being in lefty part of the internet or in a shitpost thread like this.
                I personally am not sure if it refers to any leftist youtubers or a specific circlejerk, because you know how they are with backstabbing and excommunications.

                The biggest dichotomy for me is how the Video Essay Creators think that they are making something super deep and insightful to the masses, and how the Video Essay Watchers just use it as background noise to half-watch

        Frick no, if he had proper agreement they wouldn't of had to change all those lines again, as well as the fact as being as homosexual as possible with its rerelease, doing shit like editing the copyright claim notice.
        The only thing making it plagiarism isn't just lack of credit, its the complete restructuring of 1 singular article without asking shit for permission. If he just asked
        >hey can I adapt your article to be seen by literal millions
        any author would jump to the deal, and would be fine if somebody was just a mouthpiece for the article if they just fricking asked and framed it properly, plus the audience wouldn't care either.
        Because this didn't happen we have an inferior product where a large chunk of the appeal was removed, which only came back up after bastardizing the first video enough times.

        Obviously my ass he changed shit again just to make it not blatant and added a pussy ass credit in the description that nobody looks at while adding a credit in the video for every section he couldn't come up with a paraphrasis for.
        I have watched most of this guy's content and I feel annoyed at how he pulled a fast one on us and tried to pretend shit he didn't write was actually his and he is still doing it. Not to mention his last videos have been fricking shit and not about the internet, while both coming out at very supremely convenient times.

        If he had just wrote anywhere that this would be a dramatic reading and paraphrasing for effect of someone else's article, we'd have no problem. Still shit not to contact the writer but nobody would be here complaining. Instead the dipshit pretended to be smarter and a better writer than he is while making a fool out of us. He can frick off for all I care, my good will is gone for good.

      Talk about why stupid shit like the UI art design, sound design, and gameplay design (I have in mind why hitstop works in dead rising 1 & 2) works a lot in its favor. Don't entertain any kind of plot summary at all, just tell them to play the game and really dedicate a separate video if the story is that pivotal to the game.

        I don't think it's the same.
        When I were little, in the pre-smartphone internet times, there were like ten channels on tv and a whole load of radio stations. I flipped through them, picked the least shitty one and I were happy. If you were lucky, you even got a little gem in there.
        Today, the volume of choices fricking paralyzes me. I can't settle on anything, because I constantly feel like, I could be checking out something better. It's been half a minute and this video isn't good enough, maybe I should listen to this or this or this. I can't even have music on the backround because I end up skipping songs all the time, picking other ones or flipping through playlists and recommendeds when 15 years ago, I was happy to listen to whatever slop my local indie rock station had on tap.
        I wanted to talk to someone about this and this is as good a place as any. Please tell me that's a thing other people experience too and I'm not a total schizo.

          Or, if your family wasn't poor (back in the 90s/early 2000s) your parents paid for extra channels that had all the shows all the other kids (who weren't poor) were watching like Dragonball, so you had even more options but still not anywhere near as much as today.

          this is called "analysis paralysis" or more colloquially "FOMO" and it's the reason why youtube is jamming the front page with massive banners and ads and making every thumbnail 3x larger than it was before, so now you only get 4-8 videos on your frontpage when you used to be able to get 16-28 videos without scrolling down. The sheer influx of information nowadays is apparently too large for people to handle despite the fact that web 1.0 was based off of jamming as much information into one screen as possible

    I think you guys just intrinsically hate any form of analytical content longer than a greentext, so you find excuses why it's not "real" analysis. But you wouldn't enjoy "real" analysis either, you'd say it's padded out and every reviewer is under some unspoken obligation to keep their video under 5 minutes and only get to say the most barebones things.

              By the nature of MMOs you either keep playing, get bored, or get angry eventually. People who dislike an experience now will often retcon all previous experiences. If you told me I could play 500 hours of a game and have fun for 300 of them I would obviously do it but these guys will pretend it all sucked. If you played that much of a game and hated all of it you're mentally ill and moronic.

              It really wasn't. Sure, it was the homosexual artsy "muh anxiety and depression" game, and while annoying it certainly wasn't trans related.

    this, but it's just a playthrough of the entire game, meticulously describing what is already right there on the FRICKING screen. for some reason has some pretentious editorial title like "Exploring How [Game] Changed The Psyche of Games (Analysis)".

    it really grinds my fricking gears, especially when i realize this is what young c**ts on Ganker watch when they criticize games they "played".

        This video was basically:

        >make videos "implied" to be factual
        >do so with sloppy wording
        >continue to passive aggresively complain about your audience rightfully picking out mistakes exactly like you do about the videogames you play

    oh, and I'm sure you're going to say that not everyone is out to chase clout and dollars, and maybe that's true, but for every pensive and thoughtful content creator who produces something from the heart there are 100,000 frickboys out there making slop in video form in the hopes that you'll like, comment, subscribe, ring the notification bell, join their patreon, join their discord, and essentially worship the ground they walk on because they don't want to get a real job.
