Incline Hey hey people, it's the SsethTzeentach thread

[Cyberarmy]

grip gets weaker

definetly this.

 

[Maxie]

(also didn't know that the Bastard Bonds one had a co-writer, but I digress)

So that's why there were so many normie memes. At least there is still incest, scat and black market references so it's not completely reddit quality.

Or if those were the bits coming from Sseth then maybe he is just expanding his economy on Zoomers.

co-writers are very reputable I've once co-written a youtube review of space rangers 2

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Either his style is getting old or grip gets weaker but I don't find these new videos any entertaining

There's so many times you can watch a video of his until you realize he's going to make the same jokes but with a different game in the background. His original Might and Magic 6 was great because of this. It was pure, so to speak.

I just realized I never properly broke the news to you guys, but I am now working for Sseth. As in, THE Sseth. I edited his [Badword] Bonds video, and I've already finished his next video, where I both wrote the script and edited the video.

Since I'm basically doing everything except the voice acting, the projects I'm doing for his channel will basically just be the same stuff I've been making for my channel lol. This channel's output will slow down, but now I'm only gonna work on projects that I truly care about, so hopefully that means better but less frequent videos.

So yeah, it's the regular youtube career mountain peak part where you realize that your fanbase will watch anything "you" squeeze out so you just get someone else to do everything while still being the face/voice of it.

 

[Rahdulan]

Makes sense. His channel already was a pretty blatant knock-off.

 

[Jason Bright]

There goes the respect I had for the only E-celeb who deserved any, however small it was.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Sseth didn't invent anything to be fair. His shtick was covering games that zoomers wouldn't, but he uses their brand of spastic humor.

 

[whocares]

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

NGL, that's actually a valid MBA business strategy: where you invest heavily to build the brand and gain loyal customers with quality content, then either sell it off and/or whittle the quality down slowly to save on costs and increase profitability while maintaining the customer base (till they figure it out at least).
Most fast food startups pull this shit. The classic case study is Subway in the 90s where they offered $5 footlong subs when they first entered the market. Now $10 gets you 6-inches of bread & dick crumbs.

You either die a totalbiscuit or live long enough to see yourself become the angry video game nerd.

TotalBiscuit's videos were mediocre at best, but I always appreciated the pro-consumer stuff he did.

Sseth has definetly switched to milking his audience. His videos are way too long and his type of content has also been heavily hit by the fucking abysmal monetization policy changes made by YouTube.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Anybody watch anything from Mandalore or has he just kind of gone away?

 

[Tom Selleck]

He just did a review about The Callisto Protocol, he seems to make reviews every 3.5 weeks I guess

It's not necessary to invent something new to carve out a unique and characterful niche.

TotalBiscuit's videos were mediocre at best, but I always appreciated the pro-consumer stuff he did.

The only times I can recall clicking on a TotalBiscuit review he spent the first 15-25 minutes going over the graphics options available in the game title rather than addressing any gameplay or content. Weird fucking priorities.

Most of his videos were from that era of utter dogshit PC ports where even having a decent options menu was the exception not the rule. It was actually quite helpful since this was the era when mainstream reviewers would often only review the 360 version, which was usually the lead platform, of a game and then said nothing about the PC port which ran at 15 FPS, set your graphics card on fire and had absurd DRM where you had to connect to a central server every other minute. This did lead to some oddities though, like the time he praised Thief 2014. I mean, say what you want about that game but damn if it didn't have a decent settings screen. And a reasonably decent frame-rate on PC, so that's two things. Shame about everything else though.

Don't forget how much he pushed for FOV sliders. In a time where games shipped with FOVs designed for consoles and you had to go through .inis or fan-made hacks to get them above 85.

I literally thought, "I should've mentioned something about FOV silders and having to fuck around with the config.ini in notepad for half an hour" a minute after I posted it.

 

[Black]

While I like his Wiz 8 review the most, it is clear that his best was the og MM 6 review. Because it wasn't a review. It was just a video about a game he really liked. It was pure, untainted passion and fanboyism.

Any way to break that cycle?
I see that burn out happen to virtually every guy whose stuff I enjoy.

Usually, it's finding something new to get excited about. If you look at people who have long careers in the same company, for the most part, they go through entirely different departments or switch to BUs that target different markets. Same with hobbies, I usually cycle through my interests and I had times when I lost interest in stuff for a couple of years until it came back. Different genres in games for example, or stop gaming for a couple of months or years and do something different. Eventually you recharge and find something new to enjoy about your old hobbies

 

[HeyCheckOutHowHardICanPee]

Any way to break that cycle?

Autistic enthusiasm about the topic at hand and consumption of highly addictive drugs.

The insanity drive.
I guess it depends on the payoff (or the alternatives).

Think subtle racism and oversexualization made his videos spicy, think his passion and distinct love for every title he showcased made every video feel different, think him being in a very dark spot of his life made every video disturbing and inherently interesting.

Lately it all feels very formulaic, sanitized and safe, they can no longer be called a form of art. I blame it on the jews.
