Thanks for the detailed response, I admit I haven't considered half the things you talked about before, specifically how from your perspective I'm more likely to be strongly invested than a random youtube user and how sponsored series could inadvertently turn a one-way relationship into more of a 2-way thing. I wanted to clarify a couple of things. I know you said you don't accuse me specifically but I feel compelled anyway. 1. My intention was purely to make you play the game I want (dance monkey, dance), not to foster a relationship - of course that's what I would say If I were a deranged serial killer as well. 2. Despite willing to spend $$$ for a 'private' performance I wouldn't say I'm attached to the games I mentioned. I wouldn't mind if you didn't like them and would be interested to hear why. Outer Wilds specifically is the thing that's still fresh in my mind and it left a lasting impression, so I'm interested in your take on it, good or bad. I just have disposable income to throw at things I like - like the ongoing GDQ charity stream. 3. By NES I meant any Nintendo console, I didn't realize NES means specifically the one that came out in the 80s. Just like when I would talk about Playstation games, I wouldn't neccesserally mean specifically Playstation 1. Nintendo wasn't really a thing here in Poland back in my youth. 4. I'd like to think I only watch you for your methodical approach to games and your 'political' stance on things is irrelevant - but that's easy to say when I agree with you on most of that stuff. Overall it was surprisingly interesting 2 hours of video, keep up the good work!

This brought our whole family back to firing up minecraft after some years and everything is new and exciting. I did not even know your trick how to make a path with a shovel. Man, just running around in my MC village and paving everything while you are still talking :)
