I kinda dipped into watching medieval history and weaponry channels and I wish I had searched this thread for talk of Shadiversity before I started watching his channel after seeing it listed in the first post. That dude is an insufferable shithead.

Another channel I stumbled on - Wristwatch Revival - is great, however.

Skallagrim and Scholagladiatoria are enough for me with medieval stuff. Lindybeige when he gets on an entertaining tangent. Otherwise steer clear.

Yeah, I'm really liking Scholagladiatoria a lot. There are some videos where he is looking at museum pieces (on the museum's website) and talking about them that are really cool. An example of that was his video on poleaxes.

Skallagrim is alright but a lot of his videos are 2 hour long Q&As which aren't really what I'm looking for.

I also enjoy Jason Kingsley's content at ModernHistoryTV. The subject of one of his recent videos is a medieval hand cart he had made and he just seemed so enamored and smitten with it and the sound it made as it trundled along. :3:

yea I don't think Shadiversity is, like, the bad kind of lovely but boy is he just an insufferable bore. If you want fun sword/middle ages poo poo Skallagrim does his bit way better, and yea like said Scholagladitoria is good for actual analysis.

The dude's latest video is him complaining about the Youtube algorithm "censoring" him because of his political leanings and Christian beliefs while he has launched a second Youtube channel all about him buying a huge plot of land and building literal castles for himself.

Like isn't Shadiversity kinda racist. And by that I mean a huge loving racist who does not like people who aren't white? I seem to recall this dude (and his hangers on) don't like people who aren't white.

E:


Like going on an hour-long rant with his buddy about how a person of colour being cast in a fantasy TV show makes him big mad kinda racist.

He made some comments in a video about a Bollywood action movie with actors essentially wearing blackface to appear like wild barbarians or somesuch, praising them for not having a problem with it and saying how everyone is so sensitive about it elsewhere.

Dude is either racist or incredibly ignorant. Probably both.

I don't know if this is the place for it but I watch the channels NileRed/NileBlue and I remember on a podcast the guy says he makes sure to make noise during his videos for the "ASMR freaks" or something to that effect. This includes clinking of lab glassware and such. He's said he's had to do several takes of parts of videos to make sure to slide the beakers and flasks just right on table surfaces or make sure a flask is empty enough so the clink of the magnetic stir bar is audible on the video.

Anyhow, ever since I watched that podcast, I can't help but notice how loud he is with making racket and slamming doors and such.

The furtive Nioh...so easily forgotten. I know it isn't a From game but I never hear about it and I'm curious about y'all's opinions.

I'm bad at Souls games (I've only played and beaten DS1 and DS2) and Nioh was easy to kinda limp your way through so I had a lot of fun with it for the most part. Sekiro is very much the opposite of that so I doubt I'll ever give it a shot because, again, I'm bad.

The looter shooter/diablo esque loot drop system with its little ticky tacky % bonuses and keyword effects and poo poo. It's pretty ignorable on base NG but you still end up with an assload of trash you need to dump after each mission.

I had forgotten about this part of Nioh. Yeah, I never interacted at all with that system nor the blacksmith that let you create weapons because there didn't seem like much point in it when I just found decent stuff and equipped what I found going through the game normally. I also didn't use the stance system all that much. I just liked whipping my kusarigama around at fools.

I remember the DLC being gently caress-off hard and I didn't even finish the first mission I don't think.

The worst thing about DS2 is that it doesn't have cloud saves on PC and I've lost my save after doing nearly everything in the game twice now. Yes I know skill issue, git gud, etc. At least it means I get to play it again.

Not having cloud saves on Steam should be against the law.

So this actually is about online creators and not just furthering the Dark Souls derail, and kinda tie into a bunch of recent posts:

supergreatfriend is LP'ing that VR 7th Guest game that I didn't know existed. It still has the FMV ghosts but the video is 3-dimensional so it feels like they actually exist in 3D space as you walk around them and it seems really neat.

I skimmed through this and drat that's a lot more work than I thought it would be. I do love the look of them though. The end is legit heartbreaking seeing the tank dismantled and the faded outline of the tank on an empty table being all that remains of that lovely little ecosystem.

I thought somebody here said he publicly broke with shad over right wing poo poo and was like way better or something. Or maybe that was the gladiator school dude and Skallagrim was one of the "women aren't meant to hold a sword" guys. IDK, I confuse all of those white european/commonwealth bearded/long haired sword nerds, they all look the same to me.

That was Matt Easton/scholagladiatoria who cut ties with Shad. Skallagrim has his wife help him show off weapons and weapons techniques so that's probably Shad again you're thinking of - not sure on that one. Not sure about the gun thing but skal does like guns though and Easton has also talked about moving to USA to have guns so that might just be all of them.

Oh that wouldn't surprise me at all. I only got into watching these channels in the middle of last year and have only watched Skallagrim, scholagladiatoria, and Tod's Workshop and haven't run into that sentiment but maybe it's in some older videos.

There is something incredibly lame about sword dudes also trying to talk about how much they are into guns, though. lol

Cave Story is one of the most perfect games ever made and it's time for me to do my semi-regular playthrough of it.

It even had a port on the GP2X that you bet your rear end I played through multiple times on that too.

edit: I just found out that the person that ported Cave Story to the GP2X is an Austrian teacher who was one of the lead programmers for Binding of Isaac, also ported Cave Story to the DS and did a bunch of ports of Nicalis' game Nightsky. All bangers

I want to thank whoever it was in this thread that suggested the channel Quinn's Quest. I've always been fascinated with tabletop games but have always been on the periphery of them with friends that played but never actually playing them myself so I like having a channel that will give an overview of different ones and talk about why they are cool and worth playing or appreciating.
