"tell me about the likes and subscribes[sic], George."

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Northernlion is all audience interaction now.

I found him searching super meat boy when he was about 50 videos into the binding of Issac, I couldn't stand that games themes at the time, but after he posted the hundredth video or so I decided to give it a shot, it was relatively entertaining and very easy to fall asleep to.

Now he just interacts with his audience, and it's really not my jive, still subscribed, but haven't watched a video in probably over a year.

I think it's okay that he doesn't seem to care that people come and go.

It's way more healthy for him at least.

I subscribed to him years ago when he was doing a regular "indie impressions" type series. He stopped doing it; I haven't watched since. Still subscribed on the off chance that he'll start it back up again...

It's surprisingly hard to find channels that are eclectic; usually the host will stick to a specific genre of games, which makes it hard to find new and unique ones.

His style drastically changed since he had his daughter.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

YMH. Vibe changed I dunno.

They got big and became a proper podcast studio with many shows.

Another algorithm casualty here, another out of touch rich guy there.

There but for the like and subscribe go I.

This is like every ASMR creator with more than ~10k subs. I'm sorry but "go to my second channel/Patreon/linktree/whatever other shameless self plugging bullshit" for 5 minutes at the beginning of every video doesn't help me fall asleep even if you are whispering it.

No. It’s clearly two men. I don’t see any mice.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The mice are in their pants!

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Little little mice that scurry and scrape hoping nothing more in life but to manage to exist escaping the notice of those who's interest could only mean a swift death.

Ah I was thinking of that, but didn't want to mention it in case I was wrong 😅

Lenny (that was his name, right?) Did Nothing Wrong btw, dude needs a psychaitrist, not an execution.

Is that why he’s being unexpectedly shot by George?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well he's not very good at tending the rabbits.

Or little girls.

[–] Wetstew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, he was good with bunnies. He can pet them hard as he wants and they are okay.

Mice and dresses, yeah.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Lenny needed a muscular doggo lol

[–] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I only know it because of King's 221163 book

It feels like you're the one being shot? Shouldn't the text say "How the YouTuber feels when you unsubscribe from..." if it's placed over Lennie? It's from not to, right? You can't unsubscribe to something. This is a mess

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

I think it's just bad text placement, if I'm reading it right you should feel like George, not Lennie

Caddicarus for me. I love the guy, his new content isn't bad. I don't have time to watch a video that's as long as a feature-length film, wherein so much stuff is covered that nothing gets a spotlight for more than a few minutes.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (11 children)

Am I the only one who has never been able to watch YouTube since it became more than a two minute clip of how to do a thing? The whole format of stretching content to reach some arbitrary monetization benchmark is unwatchable to me.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 14 hours ago

Get sponsorblock, it automatically skips the fillers - if someone has annotated the video.

I'm actually kinda shocked he's still around. I was a young teenager when I was watching Ray's stuff.
