okay. Video game essay YouTubers, please listen carefully: You do not need to tell me about your playthrough of the game from the beginning in order to tell me interesting things about the game. I know you think you do, but you don't.
I changed the title of this 2 year old video from “Banjo Kazooie’s Skyboxes” to “The Mindblowing Skyboxes of Banjo Kazooie”. No other promo. Just let the algorithm do its thing.
so many really promising videos that start with a strong thesis and neat new thoughts, and then the intro ends and they go into diary entries about their specific playthrough. Stop it. I don't care. I care about your brain and thoughts-- not your character build.
I LOVE PHD STUDENTS. I LOVE NICHE OBSESSIVES. I LOVE THOSE OF YOU WHO, WITHOUT REWARD, ARE STEWARDS OF HYPER-SPECIFIC, NON-MAINSTREAM KNOWLEDGE. YOU MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. YOU ARE UNDER-APPRECIATED.

It was about a year ago that I uploaded this video that changed the trajectory of my YouTube channel.
If the video was ACTUALLY titled "what I like and dislike about this game" I'm 100% fine with it.
My issue is when a video is titled "Why Pokémon Games Matter" and then it's just someone saying "I really like Pokémon games a lot and I played them as a kid" for 45 minutes.
EGGBUSTERS is coming back for )what I anticipate to be( one more season this year, so to celebrate and build up to it, I thought it might be fun to remember one old glitch every day. ready set it and forget it:
trying to put on a chill playlist of “best Minecraft music” for working only to be greeted with the iconic opening notes of Usher’s “DJ Got Us Falling In Love”
all of my videos are made up on the spot with script. So if you keep talking about my sublime philosophical video game essays, you're really just saying that I'm naturally a gigantic genius, and I'm going to become insufferable. Do your part to keep me humble.
I made this video on a whim, no intentions or expectations. For my first video to hit 1M I could’ve done worse— at least it’s not strawberry eggbusters. Thanks everyone.
video game video essays on YT are funny how they always start like “in the apex of the Roman Empire two philosophers first asked the question…. Why? Nintendo struggled with a similar question in 2001 when working on Mario Sunshine.”
My friend Eden is a skilled furniture maker and woodworker. Tomorrow on Any Austin, they and I will sit down to evaluate the quality of Skyrim’s wooden furniture and other accoutrements. (Spoiler alert: They have some questions)

It has been (literal) years since my monthly sub count wasn’t in the negative. Waking up this morning and seeing me finally get it back to net zero was truthfully the best sub-related milestone I’ve ever hit. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 thanks everyone
based just asking questions no reason to think grant is out here asking absolutely braindead questions he’s just curious if you think the gov’t is out here using technology to manipulate weather patterns “&” storms (&— okay) this app is such rot
I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico. Been watching storms since I was a young boy. I have NEVER seen a storm start here and go east.
Do you think Gov’t is using technology to manipulate weather patterns & storms?
Reminiscing about the time in 2003 at the height of the war on terror I named my Magic the Gathering tournament team “Osama bin Laden” and the organizers quietly renamed it to “Inappropriate Team Name

” without telling us and we missed our match and lost in the first round
Tim Walz was so addicted to the Sega Dreamcast that his wife had to unplug it and hide it away.
This is reported as a fun, relatable story, but doesn't anybody else find a 35-year-old man getting that addicted to video games a little sad? Or, dare I say it, weird?

Every time I’ve dug into the algorithm “tricks” they’re always bs. Like people saying if you chance the title you get an artificial boost. I doubt it— I think it’s just that people rarely change a title to a worse title, so the new title performs better, so it gets promoted
have I ever told you how much I appreciate that you all give me a place to put all my dumbass ideas. So excited to show you another one in a couple days.
I also think the reason it’s effective is that the new title isn’t clickbait— the old title was actually less accurately descriptive of the content of the video than the new one. Which is super important.
I changed the title of this 2 year old video from “Banjo Kazooie’s Skyboxes” to “The Mindblowing Skyboxes of Banjo Kazooie”. No other promo. Just let the algorithm do its thing.
just like last time i'm really touched with how kind you all are being about the latest eggbusters. thank you. how lucky we are to know each other! i'm always here if you need anything.
Is there a way to filter out all the fight videos and animal violence videos and racist videos from the timeline on X or is the point of the app to keep me in a bad mood
@elonmusk
thanks
how many special people change how many lives are living strange where were you while we were getting high Slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannon ball where were you while we were getting high someday you will find me caught beneath a landslide in a Champaign supernova
Godzilla Minus One reinforcing my fatal flaw of always being fooled by nerds who tell me a movie is mindblowingly good when in fact it’s neat and fine.
These recent videos I’ve made are probably the first time in my life I would actually watch a video I’ve made if I saw it in my recommended. Absolute bangin content.
