Sounds like a game with great box art but then you open it and it's actually a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet and you're like "drat this game is almost as bad as E.T. for the Atari 2600".

Berries That Burn
If we are airing our grievances over tech relics/retro/etc. youtube video makers, I have got to say

being some kind of racist/nazi/chud/hate crimelord is the number one thing that makes me not want to watch their videos

but an EXTREMELY close second place are people who scream/screech multiple times in a 10 minute long video

and all of their videos are like this. just screaming like they got cut in half and blowing out their audio until there is hiss and static because they yelled that loud


I really love watching channels like LGR with the volume real low as I fall asleep. It's relaxing, but not boring. Every single time youtube recommends me a new user that makes similar videos, they invariably wail and shriek at random things that are not a big deal at all.

Is this like the audio version of how youtube thumbnails have become some uncanny valley melty faces showing bulging eyeballs and agape mouths???

That vg doc on Netflix has a bit on this and it's really informative to listen to the guy that made a game as fun as Yar's Revenge explain how he didn't want E.T. to be a lame clone of an existing game, how his design doc was formulated on the basis of "poo poo I have X Months before this is due", and how much plain hubris and overconfidence were to blame.

At least those idiots are constant and you can adjust volume accordingly. In the case of Baracles Nerdgasm that volume is 0.

Watching one of his videos now and yeah he is a little annoying pixie all hopped up on meth/sugar. Anthony (one of the staff they bring on for actual nerdy stuff) on the otherhand is an absolute delight to watch.

I can't hate Linus, he's just an enthusiastic guy who now has access to do ludicrous things that aren't needed to be done, but I appreciate that someone is able to do them anyway.

Linus may not be the most obnoxious overall, but his yelling is still the worst because some of his videos look like things I'd otherwise want to watch. I just can't handle speaking in all caps for more than a few seconds.

Linus serves an important role in the tech youtube landscape because whenever you see something new and expensive and wonder what would happen if you did stupid thing with it, there's a good chance he's going to.

I do like all the non-Linus presenters more, but who doesn't.

Linus seems fine these days but I don’t consider enthusiasm to be manic or unpleasant. He’s better than he used to be for sure, though.

Plus I think he deserves a lot of credit for not being shy about how he makes his money and for taking care of his employees when covid hit.

Yeah. That's how you do it if you want to look professional. Some, though, like the five watt world dude (old guitars and such are tech relics, no?) have the script so close you can notice his eyes move as he's reading, though, which is annoying
