this much effort to have the medical and scientifically accepted truth be the accepted narrative is so dispiriting. it's so much easier to just lie and hate.

It's impressive how many videos on obscure action crpgs with serious game balance issues Ross has made so far. With so many of these games having similar problems part of me wonders if he's missing something with some of them, but maybe that's just how the genre was.

I think part of it is that B budget games aren't nearly as common anymore. Its usually either indie or AAA development.

A good weird events breakdown channel is Atrocity Guide. For example

Here is her video about a Russian animator and his wife who have been making a single movie for 40 years.

i love atrocity guide a lot and recommend it big time. it handles its subject matter with clinical detachment but its not devoid of empathy. a similar channel is anomaly documentaries, but the subject matter is lighter and way weirder

Jenny Nicholson has a few videos about that for fanfiction/self published books. like this one for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74KAGEe-IdU

Internet Historian also has a lot of content about weird events https://www.youtube.com/c/InternetHistorian/videos

If you're looking for relaxing content, or poo poo you could have running in the background, you could do a lot worse than Walk NZ. It's a guy (who also runs a well-liked channel where he discusses rugby union) who walks (and once in a while drives) around places in Auckland.

I enjoy a fair bit of walking content. Watched Walker does very similar things to Walk NZ, only it's mostly around London.

Walk With Me Tim does British coastal towns, as well as the occasional very bad old hotel or holiday park.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Now this is funny. "not available in your country". Apparently we Germans already know everything there is about the Holocaust, no need for us to watch this, says this uploader. :v:

Edit:

Reading a bit further in the thread, apparently multiple countries aren't allowed to watch this, huh.

I don't think the uploader gets a say in what countries a vid is restricted in

Usually when an uploader blocks entire countries it's to avoid copyright strikes. Anime reviewers often have to geoblock Japan to keep their videos up. Dunno if that's the case here.

EDIT: Started watching the video and it's Lionsgate claiming the video, so yeah, copyright bullshit. They're an American company so I dunno why they're blocking it from being seen in OTHER countries though.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
It really sucks LadyKnight is dealing with that. I remember in her earlier video with a scholar on the Holocaust they were discussing bad Holocaust movies and ended on some good ones, and he said The Grey Zone was in his opinion the "best" meditation and commentary on the Holocaust. I suppose that prompted her to do a whole video on it just to get more people to watch something besides Schindler's List and the loving film's distributor is actively inhibiting that.


And unless there's been some shocking turn of events, the status quo on country blocking was that only people who are part of huge MCNs can control what countries can see their videos. The whole problem that came up before is that anime videos can't be geoblocked in Japan, where fair use is basically nonexistent and every clip or still image is seen as copyright infringement by some dumb companies.

I didn't really "blame the uploader", if this hadn't been YouTube brazingly lying and instead really just the uploader being weird, I'd just shrugged it off and waited until someone else re-uploaded the video somewhere else, eventually.

But some dumb copyright-issue being at heart is of course, entirely on brand for YouTube.

Its not even Youtube really (Youtube could fight for its creators a bit more though if it actually gave a poo poo). Its just that international copyright is really broken. Japan doesn't even really have the concept of Fair Use. Copyright has drifted so far from its original purpose.

Sure, and cases like this don't even really make sense, why does a company care about the rest of the world instead of their own country? Do they think Americans don't care about the Holocaust, or don't know people outside the country they could mention this video to? From all perspectives, this decision doesn't make any sense and shouldn't be possible for a company to demand.

It's like the company in question is pranking the YouTuber

At least in the case of this one, I think it's balanced for multiplayer. So many of the game's decisions make more sense in that light.
