Great Satire Writing:

A few days ago, YouTuber Hbomberguy released the video “Plagiarism and You(Tube).” It’s an insightful look at the current state of the creator economy, and how so much content these days is stolen. Or at least, that’s what I assume it’s about. That thing is 4 hours long! Why would I watch that when my whole gaming backlog is right there? Here’s 20 indie games that may or may not be in your own backlog, all of which you could beat in the time it takes you to watch that new Hbomberguy video.

I know it's satire, but for real you should watch that video. Especially if you care at all about queer media. Take your time and watch the chapters separately if it's overwhelming.

Can you elaborate on the topics that touch queer media?

Unless it's regarding Illuminaugti, because fuck that bitch.

Like half the video is dedicated to James Sommerton, a queer "creator". As you can guess, creator in scare quotes because it would otherwise require a creative effort on his part.

There is a chapter devoted to lluminaughti

What are the odds this list is plagiarized?

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I watched the whole video. AMA

It does for N=1

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Maybe. Probably not.

How many erections did you get during that time?

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Were you seated comfortably, and did you stay hydrated?

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I went about my daily chores mostly. Put it in the background like a podcast.

Is cold fusion possible during our lifetimes?

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I believe it will happen just before the environmental collapse in 2050.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do I pet my neighbor's dog?

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ask your neighbor. Also make sure the dog seems friendly.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm, human interaction. I'll risk it...

[–] jared@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What device did you watch it on?

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Phone mostly. Using LibreTube.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it true everyone’s mothers are cum dumpsters?

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I'm sure there's at least one exception out there.

[–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago

Even better: play those games and have hmmmbmmmgmmm playing in the background on repeat!

Christ, that was a gut punch. I really enjoyed some of his vids. Oh well, one fewer reason to be on YouTube these days.

With Inspiration from Wumpus McGumpus' comment

[–] thisisnotgoingwell@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's pretty evident you plagiarized your comment, no reasonable person would write one "fewer" reason to be on YouTube when logically it would be one more reason to spend less time on YouTube.

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't plagiarize, look, I credited Wumpus McGumpus in my comment, see?

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

What a weird way to learn that there's a free demake of Furi.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

A spicy idea, but this paragraph is too whiney. Author felt from their own edge.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You could beat Project Zomboid in a fraction of the video: just run outside after spawning and press Q.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In Far Cry 4, right at the beginning, when the bad guy offers you some crab Rangoon, if you just sit there and eat it, all the problems are avoided and the game finishes lol

[–] ChucklesMacLeroy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't know that! 😅 Don't think I finished 6 anyway so I might reinstall it to try now

[–] ChucklesMacLeroy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The end of 6 was great. Not what you would expect to happen. Thought the end of 5 was kinda lame, but FC New Dawn made up for it.

[–] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I very much doubt that most players could beat 20 Minutes till Dawn in four hours on the first try, except the ones with a lot of experience in playing surviverslike games.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im pretty sure I beat it in that time frame with the bat gun and the elemental character.

[–] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Congratulations! However, I´m pretty sure you were good at survivor likes before.

[–] Legendsofanus@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks man, I won't be playing those games and I just subscribed!

Edit: I just realized I know Brothers: A tale of Two sons, the only game I have from the list.

Finished it back on Xbox 360, time to dive back on PC?

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

12 Minutes

Shit! Do NOT play this one.

LOL, this is actually a decent list. Alternatively you could just play Snowrunner for a few days and watch it in the background

[–] RedStrider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

so... close....
