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.

[–] TastehWaffleZ@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

There is a chapter devoted to lluminaughti

What are the odds this list is plagiarized?

[–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 years 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

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] ChucklesMacLeroy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 8 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Legendsofanus@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

so... close....
