If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I'd point you in the direction of PatricianTV's Starfield analysis.

I for one absolutely do, thanks for the rec

You're very welcome. If you get the chance, let me know what you thought of it.

I desperately want to watch his 8 hour analysis of Starfield but am scared of the commitment.

Advice for consumption Patrician himself posted on his 24-hr Skyrim analysis:

  • Use the YouTube chapters.
  • Play it in the background or on a second monitor.
  • Don't rely on YouTube accurately tracking your progress through the vid. Comment a timestamp to use as a bookmark instead.

Commenting a timestamp is a nice way to get "engagement" for the algorithm.

[–] WatTyler@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely but it is also far more reliable than however YouTube tracks your progress. A win-win.
