Hey Jacob Geller, one of my favorite video essayists, just uploaded a video about the death penalty and the justice system and it’s very good and I think if you can stomach discussion of death and such things it’s very worth watching

Just watched the latest hbomber video and you'll never guess what I saw after clicking a random video on another person's channel.
(Jacob Geller cites all his sources right there in the bio but that didn't stop me from choking on a tortilla chip)

I was talking to a professor on the train home this week and asked her if she was reading anything interesting, and among the things she listed she said, “A book by a german book reviewer from the 1800s; I’m unfamiliar with everything he’s reviewing, but he has such a captivating style,” and I KNOW we all joke about online needing a 1-4 hour long video essay on a topic we know nothing about on a piece of media we will never consume and we think that sounds ridiculous but IT’S SO NOT!!!! THAT’S STYLE BABY!!!! if someone’s style of speaking captivates you and entertains you, that in itself is entertaining and FUN AND GOOD!!!!! this weird little experience, it isn’t a lonely internet one, however much it might feel like that in our little echo chamber. others do the same thing, not everything has to be engaged with on an intellectual level, not everything has to be an essay or a debate, sometimes things can just be STYLE BABY!!!!

Know any gaming myths to debunk?
Gaming myths have been around as long as games, from the earliest Sumerian board games to the latest video game for your brand new Nintendo 64. Here are a few popular myths over the years to debunk:
The Royal Game of Ur: According to the weekly cuneiform tablet of Lord Kotaqu VI, the Royal Game of Ur held a secret block that could be accessed by moving a stone left, right, left, and right and up and down several times. This was simply untrue and Kotaqu was executed for his charlatan magic.
Chess: Several early critics of the game of Chess claimed that the game's battlefield strategy emulation inspired violence, despite many studies showing that Chess players like Gandhi were no more likely to go to war than non-Chess players such as Napoleon, except in certain Sid Meier simulations.
Texas Hold-'Em Poker: Many poker players were prone to cheating, especially in the old west. There are claims that card manufacturers such as Bicycle and Hoyle began to include serial numbers and codes, such as letter "L" on the lower left corner of a card so that nobody could claim a 9 was a 6, and so on. Though this has never been proven, many still claim that the L is real.
Pong: In the 1970s, games went electronic and many myths developed about this strange new form of play. The first game, "Pong," was much like table tennis, and some players claimed that one could, with proper timing, pick up the "ball" pixel and throw it on the "roof" of the video screen. This was proven untrue as more people learned how computers worked.
Tomb Raider: As more teenagers played video games, playground rumors such as a "Nude Code" to show the game protagonist naked became popular. Though there is no nude code in Tomb Raider, there is one in Kirby's Dream Land, in which Kirby can appear nude but for shoes by starting the game in normal mode.
Dark Souls: With the complexity of the world of Dark Souls, many rumors and myths were spawned, such as the ability to fast-travel early, a hidden map behind an old fog gate, and even the ability to enter other games by switching discs during a load screen. This last bit was only true in one case, where replacing the game disc with Postal 3 would improve the quality of the Postal game by making it crash irrecoverably.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: The newest Mario game's "Wonder" mechanics are strange and diverse, leading to many rumors about weird tricks they can result in. While the normal game can turn Mario into a sticky blob, make inanimate pipes crawl like inchworms, or illuminate previously invisible walkways, claims of Wonder effects that make the console explode, save money on your car's extended warranty, or even let you see real people's names and how many days they have left to live have mostly proven false. One Wonder effect that did prove real was a 79 step ladder that lets Mario climb into a developer room. The room didn't have all that much in it, but also, it's everything.
