I am lucky I was able to give you what I did. Not a big video watcher. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Have been meaning to get into RTS more but I have not actually played that many and have seen 0 videos about them, so I’m doubly unqualified to help you with that.

The YouTube algorithm is helpful to me because it knows I only click on gaming videos amongst a few other things. I just never ever clicked the annoying Person SLAMS Person outrage bait type stuff, and I also never clicked Not Interested on them (not sure if YouTube would actually listen, or if it would know by me bothering with “Not Interested” that topic pisses me off to see in recommends and thus it would conclude it ought to show it to me more), so it was forced to only show me the only stuff I engaged with at all: stuff I liked. So sometimes it feeds me nice niche gaming videos. I don’t watch frequently enough to exhaust its recommendations into being repeats of stuff I’ve already seen. It might (not sure) help that I also stuff gaming videos into my Watch Later playlist. This is what I did and I am not entirely sure it will work for you, but hey, it’s how I found literally all of these videos. Eventually sometimes it shows me cool stuff by the same person.

It’s possible to be dismayed at price raises that don’t affect you, because it will affect others. I was never in the market for a console and do not anticipate buying new electronics anytime soon, but I am sure that this will sadden others who find themselves priced out. Besides, I don’t know what the future holds. Maybe an existing electronic of mine breaks and I find I need a replacement, so the price hikes will touch me.

Thanks for the original content! Clicked as a current Lutris user.

I’ve never had trouble with or resented touch screen D-pads ^^; again I am part of the problem I suppose, because it seems by your post that most people hate the things I’m genuinely satisfied with. I hope the general controller-liking population gets things to serve their needs too, though. Thanks for providing the information for what I’m assuming is the majority.

Did not know Tillamook was employee-owned. Their ice cream is great, now I have a reason to prioritize buying from them.

Not sure what qualifies as small-medium. I have appreciated Let’s Game It Out (6.02M subs), ymfah (1.19M subs), Tech Rules (432K subs), MartSnacks (80.1K subs). All focusing on cool gaming content, no being A YouTube Personality who shows their face and tries to form a parasocial relationship with you.

Let’s Game It Out seems to focus on !tycoon@lemmy.world type games, maybe !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works and tries to mess with or break the game. ymfah takes on some interesting self-imposed challenges in FromSoftware and Bethesda games and I think some of them are really well-put-together and funny, particularly Skyrim No Walking which comes with narrative arcs. Tech Rules explains stuff, kind of a video essay thing. MartSnacks basically has three videos of self-imposed challenges with Pokémon and does not seem to upload too often.

I’m probably part of the problem. I’ve never used a controller except a few times at friends’ houses. I grew up with Nintendo DS, Wii, PC, and smartphone games. I don’t want to ever have to pick up a controller.

As a !pokemon@lemm.ee fan I didn’t buy for these reasons but that doesn’t stop hordes of parents or certain fans from buying anyways. If they’re happy, I guess… meanwhile I’ll be fine as long as they don’t go after ROM hacks.

I don’t care about Overwatch but I am happy for the devs and hope this leads to more unionization in the video game industry.

this unironically makes me wonder if there are any games with the gameplay being just painting a wall, especially since I know there is that House Flipper game

I read your comment less as critique and more as “fucking fans who like Pokémon” but I have a history of confusing harsh tone for a negative “you can’t like this thing, because I think there is too much of it” attitude.

Also, your original comment only says “do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?” It’s a statement of you not wanting to see another Pokémon game, but besides making a reach and guessing you think they are producing too many too fast, taking a quantity over quality approach, or that the series has reached its end by now and is being overplayed, it does not provide any actual critique of them. Not even a “the [specific thing in game] is awful” with no more elaboration. So I do not really see critique of ideas, just a statement of dislike.

Huge preferrer of 2D here, will admit the size variations made possible with 3D is a point in their favor for me.

Nope, but fans would like one. If you don’t want one I don’t see what the problem is if you just disengage from the series.

If you play on Steam, here’s two threads on how to stop it from auto-updating.

One

Two

I suggest reading all the comments and not just the original post because they mention multiple ways and complications to it. They are both pretty short threads.
