My personal PC gaming history (and why things are as they are) (480p)
0Mr. Optimism, I don't reference you at one point, as you can probably notice anyway when you hear that part, I reference you way before that part.
(See the end of the descR.I.P.tion for scene selection, if you're unpatient or something.) I did all this speaking in one continuous take, and did the usual edits, though I added one line to the end and it's noticeable, and that was due to me noticing a thing and later decided that some parts of the final thing aren't needed, thanks to me pausing between things allowed me to easily cut them out.
I don't go into certain issues that I know are there, but won't be my problems, such as: "you can't trust reviews due to all the updates", "people want choices but it must be THIS one choice only" and the like, and the one thing worrying me a lot, EU fucking with everything. I wish it wouldn't exist.
