I'm gonna be honest I'm starting to feel like all the 4 to 10 hour retrospective videos covering a single game are less a sign of depth and more a sign people need to learn editing

@eniko Haven't been on YouTube in a long time, it got that bad?Many many years ago I thought the original "10 minute top limit" was reasonable for reviews.

@eniko If you have a craving for depth, I can recommend Ceave's latest 1h analysis of Ocarina of Time, but centered around the Zora King slowly oinking aside so Link can pass him. I promise no regrets.

@eniko REALLY depends on the video essayist imo.This video essayist imo has really good analysis on the topics they cover: youtube.com/@broadcaststsaticHowever, I find someone like Jessie Gender to take wayyyyyyyy too long to cover a single point.

@eniko I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about this, in the other hand, they can be good dead noise for when I am working

@eniko This is true, I'm just constantly binge watching his ultimate series playlist, so I have a biased view of his run times. :PSomething that is very reasonably timed are OneShortEyes's Conquests of the Longbow speed running videos and how the best way to run it is to be the absolute worst Robin Hood ever. Those are worth the 1-2 hours run time.
