Played some Forza Horizon 5. It's dumb fun racing, which is pretty much what I was after.
Also it's pretty as hack

BUT! Delivery of DLC cars is super loving bad, cause the menu UI's a bit dogshit.
They're all hidden nested 4 menus down in certain screens you might not notice.

My favourite algorithm thing is when I clicked a Red Dead Redemption video to see where to get a nice horsie at the start of the game and instantly got recommend [CHARACTER] DEATH SCENE 4K NO COMMENTARY.

I grabbed FH4 in the recent sale and it has a lot of this. A week later and I still keep stumbling upon "oh there's ten new cars for you, $0" but because I wasn't in a specific menu I never saw them prior.

Also nothing makes me laugh harder than all the Mixer ads in the game, right before I find out a swath of the clothes are locked behind ranking up on the site and I can't unlock them anymore. What a time capsule.

tales of kenzera is cool because i watched the skillup review for it and then the algorithm decided that the related videos it should shove into my recommends were all "tales of kenzera is another WOKE FAILURE from SWEET BABY INC" horseshit

I love that after years of chuds going "Black people should just make their own original games with their own original stories instead of polluting our precious corporate IP media with their mere presence", a game Tales of Kenzera comes along and is like "Okay, fine, we will", and chuds are still like "STOP FORCING ME TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE! :qq:"

I've seen what YouTube pushes when logged out and it's really bad, basically a concentrated delivery of the worst YouTube has going on at any time.

I'm grateful I can barely go 3 related autoplay videos before it reverts back to trying to play music, or reruns of myth busters or taskmaster.

It's not a "Tales of" series game? The devs can't possibly be unaware that they're using the same title scheme as a JRPG series that's been popular since the 90s, right?
I mean, I'd seen the title but never gave it a look because I assumed it was a "Tales of" game and I already have a million JRPGs in the queue. Way to shoot yourself in the foot by giving it a title that ensures that anyone who doesn't like JRPGs or anime stylings will NEVER LOOK AT IT.

Game devs / publishers are absurdly bad at naming things.

A new Tales of game would be a million times better than the worlds most 5/10 metroidvania

I understand recommended videos can be a real mixed bag but I've found some truly incredible, one-of-a-kind stuff in there, especially when it recommends me videos with literally no views

observe the power of the recommended tab's picks for videos with zero views(at the time)

One hand is forming half of a heart and instead of completing the heart the other hand makes a platonic thumbs up

It's a goofy gesture for "friendzone" that people do as a bit

Two people making a heart out of their hands is a twee meme some couples do. If one person attempts to make a heart while the other instead chooses to give a thumbs up, it looks funny to people aware of the context. It's not really the sort of thing that happens sincerely, it's pretty much always just a joke for the camera.

when you both do the circular hand shape it forms a love heart

the thumbs up is denying the gesture

I was playing Fallout one for the first time in maybe a decade, using the Steam version, and I need to ask this somewhere:

Did Bethesda patch in armor drops for all enemies? My recollection is that enemies DIDN'T drop armor in Fallout 1&2, whereas I just cleared out the Khans and now I have more money then makes any sense an hour into the game? I'd swear it didn't use to be like this??
