Great video as always from Noodle. I think I’ll try peglin - the rest is not really my jam.

Gets shot
Hey there Lionir. Thanks for the post. Can the Beehaw team please look into copying or getting the creator of this bot to work here? https://lemmy.world/u/PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks
I think the person that created that bot is somehow connected to the piped.video project. I know the whole privacy consciousness thing isn’t for everyone, but this bot’s posts are quite popular elsewhere on Lemmy.
FYI, the main reason to use piped.video links is that it is setup as an alternative front end for YT that automatically routes all users through a bunch of VPNs to help mitigate Alphabet’s privacy abuses and manipulation.
I certainly have thoughts about bots and the Piped in particular, you can find them in this thread that was started today https://beehaw.org/post/6945406
Sorry for leaving you on read.
Tl;dr?
- Slayers X
- The Forgotten City
- Peglin
- 5D Chess With Multiverse Time travel
- Duskers
The video is nothing but an unmarked ad. Not worth seeing. No idea why OP shared the video.
The video author is sneaky, though. There is one game in there that isn’t an ad (it’s even the highest in the list), and it’s an ad for GOG, not the games itself.
Seems like you made some LARGE assumptions based on a very small amount of information that you didn’t really pay attention to.
- The video is sponsored by Asus, hence the laptop ad break at 4:23.
- It sounds like he tried to work out a deal with GOG (which is an excellent company that I don’t mind supporting) where the games he mentioned would go on sale to encourage people to buy them. And then the deal fell through, and only one of these games is on sale.
- All games are linked using an affiliate link, which is NOT the same as a paid ad.
I shared it because I like the creator and a game in the list I thought was cool. Nothing more to it.
The Forgotten City definitely got it’s due last year. It was on an awful lot of people’s GOTY lists. Which was warranted, because it’s really really solid.
