An essay should be short and to the point. Most video essays are neither of those things.

If you can't condense the core of what your essay is about into a ten minute video then you need to go back to grade school English class imo

Something from school that stuck with me was in second grade when I had to write something with a word count. So to pad it out I wrote something like "This is the subject I will be talking about, in this essay I will describe how this works". The teacher crossed it out and wrote a note saying "You don't need to say this, I'll know what the subject is as I read the essay." So what I'm saying is these people have the writing skills of a second grader.

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
Google is pretty much useless because of that now. Every site that it pulls up is just padded to increase the amount of ads they can serve you before you get to the one bit of information you need. Want to know how to do some very specific thing in a game? Tough poo poo you have to scroll through ten paragraphs about what the game is with at least four gaps for ads.

Internet’s been on a slow downward slide as the complete freedom and Wild West attitude of the 90s and 00s slowly got trapped and tamed by people trying to maximize the ability of VCs to make money.

ChatGPT just accelerated the process by making it so that there was no longer any human effort involved

The problem with video essays is that everyone doing them has to have some kind of insane political gimmick or hot take or whatever, I think. I've watched a few 15 - 20 minute ones that are things like "Here are the musical techniques employed in this piece, for people who did not have an education in classical music" and stuff like that, but it's become increasingly hard to find those. Going to Youtube to look something up feels like putting on the talk track for a behind-the-scenes DVD and being served some kind of recruitment for a pyramid scheme.

Google has been unusable for mainstream pop culture for a few years now (god help you if you have a question for a new video game) it's just recently fell to poo poo for everything else as well.

I'm not going back to quote the Mike Flanagan hate but I like all of his shows and the Bent Neck Lady is one of the few horror concepts that genuinely scared me. Liking the prestige television written by Mike Flanagan is the hill I'm prepared to die on.

me too. i loved midnight mass.

that said, i also didn't care for haunting of hill house. the book is a genuine masterpiece and Mike Flanagan is destined to do a cycle in writer hell for the crime of naming a character after Shirley Jackson and not having her be the character writing the novel within the series. also he made it boring.

haunting of bly manor was better, but i love Shirley Jackson and i'm ambivalent about Henry James so that might influence me.

The problem is, as usual, people saying what needn’t be said to fill wasted time for other lonely people. :sigh:

The only Simpsons game I played back in the day was Simpsons Wrestling. I got it by winning a contest with the local Fox affiliate by mailing in what Bart writes on the chalkboard in the opening for like a week of episodes. And even then, I did that poo poo to sell it and buy something else.

I always heard the final boss of the Simpsons weestling game (Flanders, I think?) was actually impossible, but I'm not sure if that was literal or hyperbole.

you're probably young enough then that you dont remember the multimedia CD ROM, which virtual springfield was basically the last entry i can recall. they were essentially just like this, with gags and the shittiest flash (actually macromedia dreamworks) games imaginable, but it'd be for monty python or the simpsons and i even had one that was from the FDA that was like an edutainment game about the food pyramid. they were eventually replaced by flash websites for marketing and now it's completely out of style. kind of miss em

I vaguely remember some of that. I remember a similar edutainment game that was apparently from Dole? Like, the fruit company?

You could make a salad and your goal was to make it healthy. I remember me and my sister purposely making it as unhealthy as possible then tittering about our dogshit salad.

flanders isnt the final boss but he's the most broken character in the game because of the lightning bolt that can hit you anywhere for massive damage and just having the best moves overall.
