  TL’DW? It’s >1 hour, and would probably be <5 minutes read as an article.

    I’m really not a fan of the trend for really long video essays, especially since it’s almost always padding and repeating similar points.

    Anything up to 25 mins is usually fine, but 35+ is in the realm of ‘I’ll add it to Watch Later but never bother watching it’ and over an hour I’m just going to keep scrolling

      Kind of a dumb take, just say your attention span is too short to watch long form analyses lol

      I guess you and I just have different tastes. I don’t think I’ve watched 1 hour+ videos that were just repeating, but the only ones I’ve watched that are that long are Dan Olson and Super Eyepatch Wolf.

      With those I intend to watch half now and watch half later, but end up engaged enough to just watch them through in a single sitting

    Well, got this rather generic description of the game itself out of Gemini at least:

    Sure, just take the all of the ingredients out of your sandwich and eat just the crust…

      Of the alternative is waiting 90 minutes in line, sure, why not?

  I went into this game in VR not knowing it was soft horror and hard to stop a little after the tposing dude showing up on the scanner. Watched a speed run after because I needed closure lol.

    I had the same experience. Really wasn’t expecting the jump scare.
