    There are actually good video essays dotted around but most are “let me read off the synopsis of the game for 3 hours or narrate every cutscene and conveniently forget to do any analysis” type shit that fucks me off. Like that’s not even an essay its just describing the plot.

    I don’t need every single frame of the game narrated to me to hear your shitty opinion hidden away at the end.

    The good stuff takes time to write and edit so those creators only output a handful of times a year. Slop essays are all universally garbage but they’re easy to identify and not listen to.

    Maybe i should put together a post with all the good essayists… ooooorrr make a video essay on video essayists sicko-speeeeen
