@xenon outstanding and beautiful!
black mesa
I've been playing Black Mesa, and I've gotten up to Xen, and I have to say that they've done an outstanding job.
They've managed to make it feel alien, while also expanding on the mechanics of the core game.
It's beautiful, and (most importantly to me) it actually makes the story behind xen more clear.
The scientists at black mesa were already sending survey teams to explore xen, and while that's said in some side dialogue in half life 1, you never really saw it.

(One of the expansions to the original game, Blue Shift, also included some great xen sections which showed off this kind of stuff, and it's something that the original game was very sorely missing.)

Black Mesa (the game) adds scanning equipment, and tents, and various pieces of quick-set-up infrastructure and machinery, to make it clear just how much they were messing around in the border world.

Netherworld Arcade, a Brisbane bar arcade I just found out about, is livestreaming a series of DJ sets to raise funds for Murri Watch and Aboriginal Legal Service.
It's immediately starting out strong with A.B. Original.

@jinxies cute~
@pup_hime survival crafting but deckbuilding
I'm still watching some stuff (when it's linked to me, or if I think about a specific person's vids), but I'm not spending time on just "watching youtube" anymore.
it's amazing how after just a month-ish of not watching youtube videos, I no longer have any desire to watch youtube videos at all.
When I open my subscriptions page? It's the same stuff that interested and engaged me before, but I have no impulse in me to watch any of it, and in fact it mostly feels rather off-putting.
@softgoat yes!
