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.

for you breadtube nerds

Also play Katana Zero its good

stealing our struggle session bits for clicks is not okay, the hard times

Please make a specious 4 hour video about everyone stealing Hexbear bits.

Canceling Ursula LeGuin for stealing the idea for the Lathe of Heaven and then retroactively lathing herself into the original author

I wouldn't call it a struggle session, people were just getting stupidly heated in an argument about appropriate media length. Not uncommon here, sadly, but not really a "struggle session".

For some reason I was able to make it through the whole video, despite having numerous videos in my backlog that were significantly shorter. Something about Hbomberguy just immediately gets my attention.
