arymandias comments on Tayruleor

Because people partaking in the creation of this kind of videos, which is to say so called "video essays" do not posess the ability to syntethize their thoughts enough and need artificial padding to lenghten the video and thus give an allure of an thought-provoking essay.

Also "video game essays" are overrated and will over interpret a single mechanic over an hour.

There's a lot to say, but most of them tend to pad a little on top of that. Not padding as in completely useless sentences (usually), rather, overly long sentences phrased to sound more profound.

Naw, pretty sure video games are a very simple topic which can be discussed in a TikTok
