The Horse in Tears posted:Strange Æons Strange Aeons can probably be a little much for some people, but her videos can be really fun and interesting. It's like a more wholesome version of weekend web or goon dumbassery. She covered long furbies, then built one, made it a rainbow birthday cake and then put Porridge "The Boy" Thursday the long furby onto Tinder. He did surprisingly well. It's also fun to occasionally see some weird glimpse of what little Zoomer subcultures are up to. poo poo's crazy.

Is this about my Reddit account? constantinople posted:I think it's because all Regular Show foods are absurd. I suppose one thing that makes Regular Show work so well is also because they like to break down what is in something instead of just going "here's a complete crazy food."

Here are various suggestions I haven't seen mentioned in the thread yet. To my knowledge none of them are chuds or shitbags or anything, but if I'm wrong on any of them please let me know: Video Games: Writing on Games - yet another video game analysis channel. Always interesting and informative, if not the most original concept nowadays. KingK - deep-dive video game reviews and retrospectives. Tends to take a critical analytic eye to many games I don't see people often criticize or analyze, such as the mainline Pokemon and Mario Party games, dedicating a video to each entry in a series to examine its game design and how the series evolves over time. AsumSaus - does tons of videos on Super Smash Bros Melee's weirder and more obscure features, bugs, and mechanics. Obviously interesting if you play SSBM, but even if you don't the videos are humorous and interesting. Digital Mumbles - first looks at various games, with a heavy focus on obscure indie titles. First Five - reviews of just the first five hours of a video game. Often looks at smaller indie titles, but also more well-known releases, the main goal is looking at what five hours of gameplay gets you, "to see if games are worth your time, not your money" Other: Shut Up & Sit Down (SUSD) - the de-facto board game reviewers, these guys love board games of all types, and are big proponents of helping introduce new people to the hobby. ToonrificTariq - reviews of 90s-00s-era childrens cartoons from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, etc; often some of the more obscure ones that many people have forgotten. Cedar Flags - reviews and analyses of roller coasters and theme parks. Mostly focused on Ohio's Cedar Point, but doesn't neglect coasters from around the globe. This dude loves coasters, and it's fascinating listening to him break down how a coaster is loaded and managed. Ben Horne - a large format film photographer: think the large cameras on tripods with the tarp covering the photographer. Ben goes on vacations to American national parks to hike with his camera gear, with each video mostly being him talking through his thought process on a hike scouting out photo spots and eventually taking 1-2 photos, finally showing the final result and Ben giving his thoughts on how the photo turned out. His videos are very calm and relaxing, even if you're not a photographer. Nick Carver - a photographer similar to Ben Horne, using a big camera on a tripod and setting out on trips to take 1-2 film photographs. Less relaxing than Ben Horne, but he's a bit more energetic and fun imo. He also tends to show his failures (both photographic and otherwise) more often too, so he tends to feel a bit more "real" - relatively, at least. Again, interesting to watch even if you're not super into photography, at least for me. Alton Brown - Okay, he's a fairly famous chef thanks to Good Eats, Cutthroat Kitchen and Iron Chef America - but his youtube channel is actually pretty great. He obviously has various recipes here, but the main draw is his "Quarantine Kitchen" series. He and his wife livestream 1-2 times a week of them making a cocktail and dinner together. It's refreshing to see a professional chef like this in a "real" cooking environment like everyday people. They gently caress up recipes, burn stuff, have ugly messy plates, realize they're missing ingredients halfway through a dish, etc. Most of the time watching professional chefs' youtube channels usually makes me feel WAY less confident in my cooking because it feels like I never really know what I'm doing, but Alton's channel helps me feel much better about my culinary skills, since it helps show that even the best gently caress up, what matters is being able to roll with the punches - which these livestreams show well. Also the two of them are fairly funny and entertaining on their own.

I gotta recommend Let's Game It Out for the new thread OP. Josh showcases a lot of indie builder and sim games as much as just playing games in the absolutely wrong way possible, with an absurd number of hours often put into his madness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BRSus9eU10 As well as abusing Sims. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19JYOVPmwDM And Zoo animals.

Here are a couple of channels I like that don't seem to get talked about in these threads: David Seymour a young man who does cooking videos with the twist of actually trying to make all those viral recipe videos. He also does head to head competition videos where if multiple channels have made a recipe he'll try them out and rank them. His videos are good because he isn't a professionally trained chef so it has a real normal guy kind of feel. Danny Gonzalez a former Vine star who now does commentary videos where he talks about stuff trending online. Also does bad movie reviews, tries out lifehacks and has a side gig doing comedic songs. Drew Gooden also a former Vine star who is a friend of and frequently collaborator with Danny Gonzalez. They have similar tastes/senses of humor so if you like Danny you'll probably like Drew and vice versa. They actually went on tour together last year with the theme being that they aren't just the same guy. (the "We Are Two Different People" tour)

I mostly lurk this thread but since I didn't see a mention of him yet, I wanted to throw my recommendation in for Thomas Flight as a great movie analysis channel. He's very serious and mostly focuses on editing and is great at breaking down sequences to explain why they work/dont I also can't remember if I saw Jose in the piles of recommendations, buts he's great too. Dude loves to watch old sitcoms Also HBomb coming in and icing AOC in Among Us was the highlight of her stream https://twitter.com/Fobwashed/status/1318767592740253696?s=19

Alaois posted:How To Drink is a pretty good channel about cocktails that has also gotten into the trend of recreating stuff from media. Stumbled across this guy somehow about a week ago and can confirm, its a neat channel. He tries his best to recreate drinks from fiction/video games, and tastes each one and gives you a pretty thorough review of each. There's also some videos about real-life stuff, including a video about gross drinks that really appeared in recipe books, which surprised me. I though the video was going to be "let's mix random gross stuff and taste it!" but no, beef fizz really did show up in history at some point!

jan Misali's main series is conlang critic, where he reviews constructed languages from Esperanto and Klingon to oddities like kay(f)bop(t) and poliespo. I knew basically nothing about linguistics when I began watching his videos and still enjoyed watching them. I recommend starting with the video on Lingwa de Planeta, since it actually explains the criteria he uses for reviews in depth, as well as explaining ling basics like reading phonemic charts. Misali posts a lot more than just conlang videos, from videos on game design to weird useless math trivia to mashups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmfdeWd0RMk MicTheSnare is probably my favorite youtube music reviewer person (even though his favorite band is somehow spoon?) - his content's on hold for a bit due to pandemic induced malaise but when its not he does fun bite-sized reviews of recent albums, as well as long form videos about specific bands, albums, trends, or

Part of that was that they wanted to sell toys to said demo (and the ThunderCat toys were kinda garbage) but they displayed an extreme unwillingness to try and run with what they had.

Thundercats 2011 had a surprisingly passionate fandom when it was airing and I don't think people were going to bat for it disingenuously, so much as Roar made everyone go "...wait, but they already did a 'normal' reboot of it? and it loving owned but they cancelled it? WTF CN?" e: like, it wasn't as good as say A:TLA, but it was good enough and it had furries, which is usually enough to get people going batshit crazy for something for years on end. e2: I also just looked into it to jog my memory, and a lot of the explicit Thundercats 2011 vs. Roar rivalry came very specifically from the Teen Titans Go episode about Roar, which went pretty far out of its way to dunk on 2011 as a negative comparison to Roar, and vastly misjudged how many people still care about 2011. before that episode happened, you just had the usual "HURFA DURF CALARTS" weirdos making GBS threads on Roar and most people outside the chud bubble were willing to give it a shot; that episode expanded the bad taste to a whole lot more mouths.

Disinterest definitely seems like the biggest hurdle with that remake as far as capitalizing on any popularity it had. There was a solid baseline there but CN was unhappy it didn't perform excellently in the way they wanted and just binned it.

Here are some other channels that haven't been recommended but are very good. Be Kind Rewind - Covers the history of Hollywood through the lens of the actresses of the time, primarily through the years Oscar winner. Her recent two parter on the Joan Crawford and Bette Davis feud is a good watch. let's talk about stuff - Primarily a movie channel where Sarah examines media through that leftist queer lens that gets you all the hits! Check out her two parter on Knives Out! Maggie Mae Fish - Video's about movies, her Fight Club video is *chefs kiss*. People Make Games - Chris Bratt (of Eurogamer) and Quintin Smith (of Shut Up & Sit Down) tell the stories of the people involved in games, both developers and Gamers. "Can you really get rich in the world's only "cash-based" MMO?" is a wild watch. Speed Docs - World record history progressions for different videogames but with more of a focus on including the community, they'll interview the runners and people involved to add context to the moments. Their latest video on DKC2 is a great watch. I follow like 200 YouTube channels, I have a problem. (seconding some previous recommendations: Jacob Gellar is fantastic; What's So Great About That? made the first video essay about a book that was visually compelling; Nitro Rad covers a lot of great forgotten games in a super engaging way.)

She even namechecked the stream at one point, but didn’t seem to remember it all that well. But she knew it was Hbomb who did it! I can’t blame her—even to me it feels like it was decades ago even though it was only a year and some months. And I don’t have to work surrounded by chuds who manifest their erotic infatuation with me as weird insults and screaming.

Only thing I've seen is the show Stitch! is set in Okinawa because Paul Candland who worked at Disney Japan wanted to make a show set there, where he lived for a while. Lilo doesn't appear in the show because she's an adult when the show takes place and lives in Hawaii. What is the origin of this weird Lilo/Japan rumor? e: apparently in ep. 23 of the Japanese Stitch show, Lilo's daughter appears who looks and acts identically to child Lilo.
