I miss written guides. If I look something up for a video game, it's usually a discrete question that I want a quick answer for, which is something that YouTube video guides are uniquely terrible at providing. And there are practically no written guides after a certain date. It's awful.

I'll say that the one thing LLMs have improved is that Google's AI Search can answer a lot of questions for me without making me watch a fucking video. But I'd still prefer a labor of love text file FAQ.

    Have a question about how to do/find something

    Only resources are YT videos no shorter than 15 minutes.

    5 minutes are intro with the guy telling his life.

    5 minutes are teasing about the response and going in circles in the map.

    10 seconds for a short answer that sometimes it doesn’t help at all. (How to find the legendary fish in the fishing mechanic of the open world game? Go to water and catch it)

    5 minutes of outro.
