I personally always enjoy popping them on, and this year there is a few devs that I really enjoy hinting at new things.
But I more watch them so I can just breakdown/highlight anything of note for my mates in group chats since I'm up stupidly early anyway.

I have it blocked on desktop, but when I last searched on my phone it gave me the polar oppisite answer "Yes this is a thing that happened" when in fact, no it was not at all a thing that happened lol. Thanks Google.
Hate to think how many people just trust the first answer they see.

Oh I did that super early on, I'm great with turn-based stuff but real-time and QTE's world of nope. Also generally in any game genre just play what's fun, if I find it too easy I'll up it, too hard and I'll drop it.

100%, it's why I've always called AI "artists", AI comsissioners. Because they are just commissioning art but from an AI generator instead of an artist. Takes zero skill to commision art and all the skill to create it.

Yeah it's an alltimer for me, one I often recommend as a hidden gem for sci-fi fans.

It's always a dead giveaway as well because they keep using AIgen'd slop images to nostalgia bait, because clearly their magic past they are dreaming of doesn't actually exist.

PB of 12 movies, so many I could not type anything as I hit the character limit with just the titles/years, so I added my video I normally do as part of my YouTube as an unlisted if you want to know anything about the movies watched. :D
