Currens_felis,

Did someone say video essay?

RGB3x3,

Honestly, I expected at least 24 hours for the complete history of Rome.

Currens_felis,

OSP Blue is a legend, he can do it in less than 3

Fredrik Knudsen’s 9 hour long Eve Online video, here we come!

Me with speed running explanations.

I don’t even give a shit about speed running. I just like hearing how people figure out weird ass glitches. Though most of the time, the explanation literally boils down to “they got extremely lucky.” Like the current world record for E2M3 in Quake.

I watched a long one on the original Doom. I have never tried to speedrun a game myself, but it’s just fascinating.

Makes me think of Summoning Salt, he does one hell of a job telling a story in each of his “history of world records” videos.

TurboHarbinger,

This brings me back memories

Soviet Womble The Forest

Must be part 1 of PatricianTV playing Skyrim.

Motherfucker did “Morrowind Analysis: A quick retrospective” in just under 8 hours. For fans of Elder Scrolls, it’s worth watching.

just_chill,

Guys… you can’t post this meme and not tell which one it is !

JPSound, (edited )

Nexpo gang say “yeaaah!”

Edit* Also, Manykudos, Internet Historian, WavyWebSurf, Jacob Geller, The Cursed Judge and the king of kings, Karl Jobst.

Theharpyeagle,

Jenny Nicholson is my weak spot. Defunctland and Down the Rabbit Hole are also great.

rchive,

Omg, the Evermore one was so bad because it was so good but actually 4 hours long. I lost one whole day of free time to that video. Lol

Sparky,

GiantGrantGames moment

Jeanschyso,

Literally me when Josh Strife Hayes posted the AdventureQuest video

JPSound,

Worst MMO Ever is incredible. The time and attention he spends deep diving into truly terrible MMOs is an artistic labor of love. I could never do it but I sure enjoy watching him do it for me.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

The way he completely bashed Alchemia Story in his last video makes me think that he found the bottom of the barrel. That, or he’s getting so frustrated that he won’t even try to look for silver linings anymore.

Hhbomberguy has a new vid?

MashedTech,

And it’s the shit every time

sexy_peach,

he doesn’t :(

Magnetar,

His video about a one second audio clip is genuinely fascinating.

It was hilarious to see the guy that ran the company trying to claim he was involved in making the Oof sound, struggling to identify any nonlinear video/audio software terms to explain how much work it took to make what most amateur YouTubers could do in an afternoon and then claim it’s THE REASON Roblox succeeded lol

What a fucking joke.

Cowbee,

Another New Vegas video would be Hella nice

LillyPip,

A four hour stream of someone fixing a device I don’t own and likely never will – gimme. So satisfying, though I have no use whatever for this knowledge.

kamen,

Do people actually sit down and watch these focused? I see longer and longer videos on YouTube because the algorithm seems to favour those, but for me, the longer it is, the more chance it has to be played as background noise or not played at all.

Khanzarate,

I do. I don’t do nothing while I do it, but I do other things as background, and treat that as foreground.

I also do what you do, but I definitely also consume them as a primary thing.

I love watching Pyrocynical videos. Good editing and writing grabs your attention anyway.

That cheeky bugger got me with his eight hour Utopia video.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Pretty much all the things I am subscribed to make 20-45 minute videos and I watch them like any other TV show of the same length.

The things I throw on just to have something in the background are way longer. 4 hour stream VODs. 10 hours of music. 24/7 AI generated bullshit.

amphicoelias,

Yeah. Sometimes I get a bit fidgety and like to do something with my hands, so I’ll do some knitting or something, but I always pay attention primarily to the video. I feel like I don’t really remember anything from videos if I listen to them in the background.

lone_faerie,

Video essays are like the perfect cross between a podcast and an audiobook. They’re long enough to put on while I’m doing something else, like cleaning or studying, but short enough to get through in one sitting. And then if I need a break from what I’m doing, I can focus on the video for a little.

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah I play them when I’m coming or having dinner. I don’t think I’d bother watching them the same way I’d sit down to watch a movie, though.

stewie3128,

When you’re what?

Damdy,

I focus for 15 minutes as I don’t have time for 4 hours, but then they end and I realize I’ve lost another day.

JPSound,

I love em’. Better than anything else on TV imo. I love a full breakdown of an analog horror ARG or an internet mystery rabbit hole deep dive. And usually because ots just one dedicated creator with no deadline/boss/focus group/format to appease, they have so much more character, charm and uniquenes… There’s no studio who could hold my attention with the cookie cutter slop on any of the streaming platforms.

Kemwer,

I will easily watch four 15 minute long videos, but I need to schedule some dedicated time to watch one hour-long video, or I’ll probably fall asleep.

kameecoding,

There are a few good ones that are absolutely worth watching, also kinda ones where if you don’t pay attention it’s meaningless.

from Folding Ideas:

as an into to him a 17 minute (nugget sized, lol) piece about Jamie Oliver and his Weird war on Nuggets:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-a9VDIbZCU&pp=ygUaZm…

if you like that you might wanna check out his longer videos, the most well known is probably:

The Line goes up - The problem with NFTs 2h 18m It’s a rundown of Crypto’s and NFTs and explainer of what they are their socio economical roots etc, really good.

Contrepeneurs - The mikkelsen twins 1h 50m A good video about a layered ponzi scheme.

The Future is a Dead Mall - Decentraland and the Metaverse 1h 50m this about the metaverse and similar “second life clones”

This is financial advice - 2h 30m A deep dive into GME, Apes, Diamond Hands and MOASS, also really good.

Why it’s rude to suck at World of Warcraft, 1h 25m really interesting video about WoW, game design and the meta game around WoW

In Search of Flat earth - 1h 16m deep dive into flat earthers

Another really good Video by a different Channel, some more news

A Brief Look at Jordan Peterson - 2h 55m - A methodical, step by step dismantlement of the idea that Jordan Peterson is anything else than a Right Winger and a moron.

TaterTurnipTulip,

Dan Olson and Cody Johnston are absolute treasures

RizzRustbolt,

Hbomb posted a new video?

NocturnalEngineer,

Roblox_oof.mp3 is a masterpiece.

Cowbee,

Second New Vegas video pleaseeeee

Imgonnatrythis,

I just want to learn about what is happening with his hair? Is it morphing into a cat? Does he have a placemat weaved into it?

Cornucopiaofplenty,

Currently 4h24m into Flaw Peacock’s 7h42m analysis of Who’s Lila? and loving every minute

Caesium,

yess I spent a weekend watching that when it first came out and it was an awesome watch. I think about 4 hrs in is when I finally realized his name was a euphemism lol
