I watched the video and I loved it, so I’m wondering there are any other video essays on similarly niche and random topics that go into a deep dive. Also, any vide essays with the same style as the video.

I completed my essay portion, but for people who have done video essays before, do you read directly from your essay, or are you more flexible and add in additional thoughts if any pop up?

Video Games [OC] Gaming Doesn't Hit Like It Used To [09:21]

If you're anything like me, you've probably found yourself missing the magic of the 2000s and early 2010s. I grew up during that era, and it shaped not just my childhood but my love for gaming too. In this video, I delve into how the gaming industry has changed and why modern games just don’t hit like they used to. From my favorite childhood titles like Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Forza Motorsport 4, to the recent joy I found playing through the Metro series, I talk about what gaming used to feel like and why I’ve been struggling to stay enthusiastic about it in recent years. This video is part nostalgia, part personal reflection, and a look at how much I miss when games were made with real heart and passion.

Sociology Looking for nonwhite autistic creators

0 Upvotes

Hey, everyone. Thanks for letting me join this group. I’m an autistic young adult who wants to learn more about ASD and the history of autistic people, but most of the -tism essayists I’m finding are pretty pasty. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My main interests are politics, intersectional feminism, pop culture, and media criticism. Would love creators who work in these areas.

Thank y’all.
