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.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Can you elaborate on the topics that touch queer media?

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

[-] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 26 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] TastehWaffleZ@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

There is a chapter devoted to lluminaughti

[-] Hegz@lemmy.ca 43 points 11 months ago

What are the odds this list is plagiarized?

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 32 points 11 months ago

I watched the whole video. AMA

[-] Pietson@kbin.social 28 points 11 months ago
[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

It does for N=1

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Maybe. Probably not.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

How many erections did you get during that time?

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago
[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

Were you seated comfortably, and did you stay hydrated?

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

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

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Is cold fusion possible during our lifetimes?

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 11 months ago

How do I pet my neighbor's dog?

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] jared@mander.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

What device did you watch it on?

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Phone mostly. Using LibreTube.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Is it true everyone’s mothers are cum dumpsters?

[-] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

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

[-] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

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

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 17 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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 11 months ago
[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ChucklesMacLeroy@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months 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 9 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Legendsofanus@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 10 months ago

so... close....
