any austin is a great channel for observing niche video game design elements. he's most known for doing the unemployment rates of all the cities in skyrim and pokemon, and those video series are great and i highly recommend them, but i didn't watch any of that in the last week. i watched this.
Love the vibes of this channel. My favorite series of his is the “Unremarkable and Odd Places in ___”. He basically finds liminal space type places in popular video games and shows them off, and then muses about life for a while. As someone who barely plays video games, I still find the videos entertaining and oddly comforting. Overall it’s a very chill time.
As a big time YouTube watcher, I love this question!!! My recent go to is smosh games because I loveeee board games and I loveeeee smosh!!! some other faves are nisipisa, cold ones, mina le, vanillamace, and LastWeek Tonight with John Oliver 😝
