A few days ago, YouTuber Hbomberguy released the video “Plagiarism and You(Tube).” It’s an insightful look at the current state of the creator economy, and how so much content these days is stolen. Or at least, that’s what I assume it’s about. That thing is 4 hours long! Why would I watch that when my whole gaming backlog is right there? Here’s 20 indie games that may or may not be in your own backlog, all of which you could beat in the time it takes you to watch that new Hbomberguy video.

    You could beat Project Zomboid in a fraction of the video: just run outside after spawning and press Q.

      In Far Cry 4, right at the beginning, when the bad guy offers you some crab Rangoon, if you just sit there and eat it, all the problems are avoided and the game finishes lol

          Didn’t know that! 😅 Don’t think I finished 6 anyway so I might reinstall it to try now

            The end of 6 was great. Not what you would expect to happen. Thought the end of 5 was kinda lame, but FC New Dawn made up for it.

    I know it’s satire, but for real you should watch that video. Especially if you care at all about queer media. Take your time and watch the chapters separately if it’s overwhelming.

      Can you elaborate on the topics that touch queer media?

      Unless it’s regarding Illuminaugti, because fuck that bitch.

        Like half the video is dedicated to James Sommerton, a queer “creator”. As you can guess, creator in scare quotes because it would otherwise require a creative effort on his part.

      Oh god thank you for that, I actively don’t give a shit about queer anything, I find the perpetual narcissistic whining about people’s god damned sexual preferences nauseating at this point, it’s the most vapid god damned repetitive navel gazing masturbation and it makes you literally stupider to endure, so thanks. You’re a legend.

        Wow, finally someone with the bravery to criticize the queers! Now if only we could get a group of billionaires to pay a small army of talent-less hacks to do the same.

    A spicy idea, but this paragraph is too whiney. Author felt from their own edge.

    12 Minutes

    Shit! Do NOT play this one.

    LOL, this is actually a decent list. Alternatively you could just play Snowrunner for a few days and watch it in the background

      Christ, that was a gut punch. I really enjoyed some of his vids. Oh well, one fewer reason to be on YouTube these days.

        It’s pretty evident you plagiarized your comment, no reasonable person would write one “fewer” reason to be on YouTube when logically it would be one more reason to spend less time on YouTube.

    Thanks man, I won’t be playing those games and I just subscribed!

    Edit: I just realized I know Brothers: A tale of Two sons, the only game I have from the list.

    Finished it back on Xbox 360, time to dive back on PC?

    I very much doubt that most players could beat 20 Minutes till Dawn in four hours on the first try, except the ones with a lot of experience in playing surviverslike games.

      Im pretty sure I beat it in that time frame with the bat gun and the elemental character.

        Congratulations! However, I´m pretty sure you were good at survivor likes before.
