Well there is certainly more "indie" AI slop nowadays. The latest example is Next Fest on Steam right now, almost 8k demos and, well, just have a look, or read any media outlet who is reporting on it - it's an absolute travesty.

Yup, I let streamers help me figure out what games are worth playing.

Lately, I'm just watching About Oliver, he does blind / no-wiki / no-backseat gaming. If you are a Minecraft fan, you'll experience something no one else in the community can do. He's currently doing a Create series, but watch the first season first, it's really special.

Also working on an NES harness instead of gaming myself after a too long stint with X4 foundations :x

I'm confused, it looks like he plays 90% Minecraft and KSP?

I agree in principle though - I usually search on YT for reviews and/or gameplay before I buy anything these days, since gameplay trailers are like Hollywood movie trailers: they either give too many spoilers and/or they trick you into buying something that isn't what I want.

Check out the playlists, he's done a number of games. I have the Outer Wilds on in the background. (very cool game play)

Oliver is not a streamer I get recommendations from, he gets recommendations from his followers. I watch him more for the blind playthroughs of my more favorite games.

I've used some genre top lists YT videos lately
