Is there any information about this that’s not a video?
I’ve caught myself thinking this a lot, game guides, reviews, everything was so much easier digging around in when it was written. Now we have to sit and fuck around with timestamps and waste time instead of just ctrl + f what I need.
Here’s a tip for YouTube, than might come in handy.
In videos that have subtitles available, you can go to the bottom of the description and hit the Show Transcript button. It opens the transcript on the right, and you can search in it. The negatives are that it’s not always available, and when it is, and it’s automatically generated, it might be inaccurate/misspelled, especially for niche technical terms.
How I miss the GameFAQs days… Although, with 3d games it sure is easier to navigate using a video instead of written instructions…
UHS though http://uhs-hints.com/
Just nudge me in the right direction so I can stop burning time looking in the wrong places.
I feel both ways I think. Video walkthroughs are awesome when they’re put together well, I also think written guides with good visuals are also awesome too. But because basically all the video guides suffer from YTs shitty algorithms, it forces the stupid “WoAeW U wonNt BeliVe ThiS?!?!” title bullshit and floods out better guides trying to “get in on” a trend in a game, etc. It’s a mixed bag like everything else in life, but fuck it is just super frustrating sifting through 4-7m videos of something that could have just been written down.
Do most people spend 5.5 minutes searching an article that they’re not even certain has what they’re looking for?
Edit: I spent less than 2 minutes on the GitHub page, and followed a link to another GitHub page, and got all the information I was curious about. Didn’t even need to Ctrl+F; just scroll around!
This is an AI video, which makes it’s pretty unwatchable for me. I’d love an alternative source of information.
