Youtube Channels You've Recently Subscribed to and why

On the Twitch side of things, I recently followed The 8-Bit Drummer. I enjoyed his involvement in The Runaway Guys related segments, and having been a regular listener to Disc Only Podcast, I wonder why I haven't followed him sooner, with his vibrant personality.

In the meantime, time to sub on YT.

Recently subbed 2 Grant Wisler. I don't know how but everything he makes is either a guaranteed laugh or a Greek tragedy.

Wizards With Guns is a pretty fun and off-the-wall sketch group that hasn’t been seen on Youtube in a while. I got involved with them through their parodies of 80s Megachurch pastors, and their content is consistently interesting and also diverse.

Rowan Ellis and Ragnar Rator! I think it's worth noting that it's a case of "I accidentally subscribed to their channel but their content is very well put out and enjoyable that I decide to stay subscribed and check out their other vids".

Double post but I've recently subscribed to Basement Brothers. I've been interested in old timey Japanese PC games and this channel really gives the viewer a cool view of what they were like. Bare in mind that the games are in Japanese but are narrated in English to describe what happens to them.

Okay, so a couple weeks ago, after dabbling with a couple fangames and browsing countless clips, I finally got into the hololive rabbit hole. Due to language barriers, I am starting with English for now. I started with one per group, including the boys side. I went with those that I vibe with the most^note If your oshi is not listed here, don't worry; I do keep an open mind about the rest of them :

• Ina: She reminds me of myself in a way demeanor-wise, quiet and reserved.
• Fauna: She's a soothing individual, to the point of giving motherly vibes.
• Bijou: She's a cutie, and I do have an interest in gems, so...
• Flayon: He gives me adorkable vibes, honestly. That is one niche sated right there.
• Goldbullet: And now, a mellow guy to balance it out. Also, mentioning plushies in his debut? Instant win.

Well, today I broke the "one per group" rule, and subbed to Hakka. Having very good chemistry with an oshi I am following does help, and he's pretty cool.

Otaku Without Ideas. He’s funny and has unique anime videos. He’s refreshing compared to the rest.

Best Of Humans. Their compilation videos are so good. The one with Fred Rogers made me tear up a little.

To fill the hole left by the Anycolor controversy, I have recently subbed to both Jurard T. Rexford and Banzoin Hakka since I like both of their vibes.

Good picks! They're very fun guys to watch.

I discovered Dami Lee a few months ago. She's an architect who makes short but thoughtful videos about architectural history and philosophy - things like the set design of Dune, how life in Kowloon Walled City affected its residents, and the commodification of solarpunk as an aesthetic.

I'm very late to the party, but semi-recently I fell into the Game Theory and related channels rabbit hole. Not every video is a winner, but I do find them deeply entertaining, and with Matt leaving, I want to binge as much of it as I can.

A friend showed me a recent How Ridiculous video a couple of weeks ago, and today I was binging some stuff by The Slow Mo Guys and noticed the two channels had done a few collab vids, so I went and watched those.

HR seem like pretty cool dudes. Love the vibes.

Symo Art. An obscure channel with some nice music and cute artwork accompanying it.

Zenith Films Media, a production company who presently are working on several Power Rangers series that adapt the Super Sentai shows that were passed over in the West. Fan films these days are my jam, but these feel quite authentic, even if at times they appear to also be a little satirical and self-conscious parody of what fans would like 'mature' Power Rangers to resemble.

Stargaze, for having some very cool and fascinating stuff about outer space. :)

Human Buddy, both because the artstyle is adorable and for being genuinely funny and informative.

Tarvould's Quest

He has a VG music trivia series on his channel, and some of the contestants are people I follow (like ProtonJon and various YT musicians I know). He and the contestants make the series entertaining, so why not?

Stumbled across YourFavoriteSon. I'm a sucker for people reviewing bad video games, and that's what he does quite a bit of. So far I've only watched a few of his series where he looks at low-rated Steam games but I like his format (they're short/quick reviews and he actually attempts to give things a proper try) so I've subscribed to support him. He has a lot of other videos too, I just haven't gotten around to them yet.

In a similar fashion, kind of, a little while ago I found Graeldon, who's going through and reviewing every single game (well, with some exceptions) on Steam. He knows he won't get through everything and it's more of a project to see how far he makes it, but I appreciate that he gives every game a fair chance and tries to get as far in each game as he can. I like his more relaxed, casual review style.

I've recently subbed to this Youtuber called Raymundo 2112^note you probably know him for his "Gen-Z Childhood Trauma Iceberg" video because I've just been watching a lot of his videos lately, and what he makes is kind of relevant to my interests.

Five Sharps, who makes some nice, often fantasy-like music. They have a single video with a large view count, but the rest of the songs deserve more love.

Recently I subscribed to Voyageurs Wolf Project, because I liked some of their videos, but also because wolves are cool.

Weatherbox is a great weather/storm documentary channel that I've found recently. The videos are informative, I really like the host's style and delivery, and it's clear that he puts a lot of time and effort into his research.

Kosmic. I already knew of him from Summoning Salt's videos, but his own videos are really interesting and informative about random little details in the Mario games. And I just find them fascinating.

Criminal Historian. It's a 3D—HD era GTA lore channel, and the host recently came out as a trans woman, though I didn't know that when I discovered the channel, but it did tip me over to clicking the subscribe button. She doesn't cover anything really that ground breaking, and half the videos are just her narrating her new playthroughs of the game, just a nice thing to put on the background and half-listen to.
