@mjdxp he just has annoying zoomer opinions that ignore the contemporary time that consoles and games are released in when it comes to older games (and is also so so nintendo biased lmao) and also ignores a lot of the overseas history of things and then people watch the videos and start saying the exact same things as he said without actually reading any further into it. I like his main channel but the second channel is kinda like, hearing his dumb opinions just slightly too much as to be annoying
@mjdxp when I worked in a game shop back in the UK I had some coworkers who were younger than me and you could tell who got their opinions from youtube and Americans on the internet. People talking about how the snes was so good and successful (mega drive outsold it WILDLY in the uk) and saying "oh but chrono trigger", "oh but earthbound" like man those games didn't even release in this region?? Not saying the snes is bad and I'm very glad these titles are widely available to play now but when you talk about the history of consoles and games it has been so poisoned by American gamers on YouTube talking on the topic in an insular way it's frustrating lol
@Velveteen yeah, the great thing about the internet is you can play games that never released in your region, but it'd be blasphemous for me to say something like "wow, the game boy advance did so well in the US, it's probably because mother 3 is so good!"
