The writing is excellent. I enjoyed examining all the mundane things in the world to read descriptions that always seemed to start from a novel perspective.
Here’s the description of a Wide Brimmed Hat; “The crown is crushed by wear into a hundred papery creases, and the brim is stained in the fractal signatures of sweat and salt.”
Hey hey people, COQ here
Seth’s Comment section on this vid specifically is an absolute cesspool
What video are you referring to? All I could find searching on YouTube was a single stream with comments disabled followed by pages of videos complaining about how “woke” the awards are.
The Caves of Qud video.
Ah, right. I thought you meant a comment under the awards themselves.
Is there any video of his whose comment section isn’t a complete cesspool? His edgy 4chan-lite schtick draws in the worst sorts of people to become fans.
Sseth also destroys the culture around the indie games he covers. Whenever he does a video on a niche game, the flood of viewers overwhelms the existing community with toxicity and many of them never fully recover.
I’m still mad he turned the wider community of the game Starsector from mostly left-leaning fans of classic sci-fi into a bunch of stereotypical Redditors who constantly joke about committing rape and genocide - his fans even spearheading development of a mod to add those into the game. Fucking disgusting.
