@TeamYouTube This was, by far, the most useful new feature added to youtube in the past 5 years -- but has now disappeared from desktop. Still appears on Android. When will it return to desktop?

@tinkeringprim8 Hi Lara, did Matt move there too? I wanted to continue a conversation we were having on twitter PMs, but he deleted his twitter account and I'm afraid I lost the other contact info he gave me. I'm at [email protected] if he is still available to answer a few more questions.

Is there a @YouTubeLiaison or a human at @TeamYouTube that can look into this? His channel did not violate the guidelines specified in the complaint. His channel provides reviews and opinionated commentary on old computer games. No spam, deceptive practices, or abuse.

Quick announcement: I've left all social media platforms, effective immediately. The goal is to gain back the time/energy spent doomscrolling, and invest it in creative pursuits that help people (see my youtube channel link in bio). I can be reached via email or DM. Best of luck.

@AlsGeekLab Original KQ was actually the third adventure of theirs I'd played (priors were wizard and princess, time zone, both on Apple ii) and 3 middling experiences soured me on the whole thing. I still played and own plenty of Sierra games, but mostly not their agi or sci adventures.

@AlsGeekLab I have finished a few AGI games, but I feel they were novel only in a time period without more compelling alternatives.

@AlsGeekLab Also, the movable avatar system never made sense to me. Couldn't interact with an object unless you were near it, but you couldn't type "move closer to (object)" to fix. Also led to frustrating navigation, like diagonal stairs that didn't align with Grahame's diagonal movement.

Insert Coin Documentary @insertcoindoc

Last night was the opening for the new Insert Coin exhibit. The amazing people at @CarneyCleve and @chigamespace did an amazing job creating a physical journey of our film. This runs through Feb 16, 2025 and you have to see it for yourself.

I watched 51 horror movies this October: trixter.oldskool.org/2024/10/28/oct… The biggest surprise was A Cold Night's Death (1973) where Robert Culp and Eli Wallach try to figure out what killed everybody at a remote arctic research station. Originally a made-for-TV movie but rose above that.

@premiere_gal Why do you hire outside editors? I apologize for sounding confrontational, but it's a genuine question. I understand cost-effective decisions keep time/production costs down... but your channel centers around video editing itself. It seems odd to not edit your own editing videos.
