I have a lot of JA lore too, I feel like we've talked about this before though
I'll give him credit on one thing
he actually did become a much better streamer
when he got into it, he was like every other old guy who tried to get in on it
slow, easily distracted, and a bad entertainer
but as much as I'm not going to watch his streams, he did become watchable
No anyway, my favorite lore is during the Spooky villain arc
I leaked his Mario Odyssey video
since that was back when JA was huge on /v/
and he was becoming more and more antagonistic towards everyone in his threads
Joseph Anderson
and I agree btw
I think he was the best traditional video game essayist
took the crown from Mathewmatosis who died
and to my knowledge, he died the the crown
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and to my knowledge, he died the the crown
there are a few others out there, but the focus is on game design and history than critiquing/revieiwing
Shammy caught the YouTuber head-up-ass disease, Super Bunnyhop fell victim to an Indian scam and is trying to sue his city now, Raycevick became old and fell off, Mandalore isn't a traditional game essay channel
those are the most similar ones who spring to mind
and Mandalore is currently dying too
oh, patricianTV, he also caught YouTuber head-up-ass disease
which we still need a name for
I really hate his voice
I've tried to watch a couple of his videos
I think Rusp likes him
yeah, he sorta counts
I didn't get what the point was of his most recent video on Peter Molyneux though
I never liked his gun videos he started out with
that's also definitely true Garbage
yeah, I sorta did that when I set up my archiving, but I limited it to tier 1 channels I actually care about and wanted to preserve
there are plenty of good channels I like, but didn't see fit to include
i also think alot of education and engineering youtube fell off. Kurzgesagt lost most of its charm. mark rober is now discount Mr. beast. Tom Scott is enjoying retirement, and veritasium... i dont really trust anymore. he has a few incredible videos but sometimes is far too confident posting somewhat iffy science.
on the engineering side, Real engineering feels too much like ads for random companies, William ozman is acitve on his second channel fucking around on a farm, idk what Nile Red is doing, and i think michael reeves is now 90 percent streamer

this video makes me angry. the complete

Garbage knows, I also hate what Veritasium's become
wait Civ
we had that exact same argument
about that same video
he was really good, arguably one of the best
then went a little crazy algo chasing
and defending clickbait
then just went full pop-science
I was never a huge kurzgesagt fan, so I couldn't tell you
I still like his music though
