Yes to coop gaming. No need to expound the virtue to be experienced.

[@grantpflum6844]

Frogmouth ALL the way with the chainmail and brigandine. Shad can wear the barbute and red brigandine with leather armor. It would make for great contrast. If you brought a proper war sword with rotettela and Shad used an arming sword and kite shield it would be even better.

Tell Shad to do better with his weak Nunchaku and A.I drawing vid.😂😂😂😂

[@maissthro3645]

I think I have the perfect game for you and Shad: Outward. It's a fantasy game with punishing combat and some good exploration. I do not think it's a historically accurate game in any way, but hey... shenanigans.

Yikes! wishing you an extra special festive season 🙏✨.

[@SebaztienHawke-ci5hm]

Yeah, I can’t understand why Shad and tyranth never wear gloves. I just think if you’re going to touch your sword you should have gloves on, and if you’re fighting you definitely should. So when they negatively view a sword grip because it hurts their hands, I just think that wouldn’t be a problem if you were wearing gloves!

[@bungeetoons]

​@@SebaztienHawke-ci5hm I'm pretty sure they have worn them in the past. Im guessing with summer going on, if they can get away with not wearing gloves, they will.

[@chuiduma]

I'm fully invested in your winning this contest no matter how many reactions to reactions to reactions it takes!

[@Ranstone]

When you colab and duel: Make two warriors, who meet in the bronze age, fight and one dies, then we cut to the iron age, they meet again, and the other dies. it's insinuated they're reborn in different ages as lifelong enemies, reborn through the ages. The benefit of this is lots and lots of weapons, and outfits, and also, you get to kill each other like, 6 times. End the skit with them meeting one final time like maybe in the modern era like, "here we go again" they charge and it ends.

[@TriScaleCreations]

So after Shad's reaction to this, it should just evolve into a videochat stream, where you two just get together, maybe twice a month, and just chat about whatever. As for the thumbnail algorithm, the reason they probably base it on watch time isn't just because that's what they deem important, but because that indicates whether a viewer feels click-baited or not. So, if they click on the video because of the thumbnail, but then feel like the video isn't an accurate representation of their expectations, they're not as likely to watch it through, hence the thumbnail was misleading. So it's not just about how many clicks a thumbnail can get, but how well it communicates the contents of the video accurately,

[@professorfinesser420]

No, this needs to turn into the Flight and Cash react saga

[@Perceval777]

This is getting out of hand now. And I love it! Also, yes, please play co-op with Shad!

[@bliblivion]

37:30 the hunched position or straight back position give you 2 opposit benefits. Hunched means you can contract your back muscle to extend yourself powering through extention. While straight back give you the possibility to explode inward mobilising your core muscles (Frontal and oblics abdominals). In my martial art experience standing with a straight back give you more option and versatility while hunching lower your gravity center making you more stable.

[@BelgorathTheSorcerer]

I don't know how long this will continue to be amusing, but for now I'm 100% on board.

[@davidwilson6577]

I think the deepest reaction rabbit-hole i ever saw was EFAP reacting to Jay Exci reacting to Hassan Piker reacting to Jay Exci reacting to Hassan reacting to Jay. Jay had made a video about a strange house for sale, Hassan 'reacted' to it by leaving it playing for his audience while he cooked dinner. Jay reacted to that with supreme sarcasm, also leaving the room and returning with a cardboard cut-out of a pizza he proceeded to eat. Hassan reacted to that with mostly confusion and indignation, which Jay reacted to by pretty much just laughing at him, then laying out why stealing content is bad. EFAP reacted to that video as a sort of thesis statement on what delineates transformative or otherwise fair reaction from freebooting. All in all a very interesting, funny, and aggravating saga. I'm sure you both can claim the crown though.

[@Mr.Marbles]

i think the reason why the thumbnail algorhythm goes by watchtime is because it means it reached the right audience. so that they dont just click because of the thumbnail and then just leave again. the algorhythm learns about the audience basically.

[@Kelnx]

I didn't realize this was over an hour long, so I'll have to watch the rest later but...holy crap this is already getting confusing. I love it. And these videos will just get longer, and longer, and longer if they keep this up with constant switching between Shad and Metatron. Oh this could be fun. This should be a thing.

On the experimental thumbnail thingy. The reason it calculates watch time, and not click through is predominately to not reward click bait.

The youtube algorithm understandably gets a lot of crap from creators, but as a normal user I can't complain. I'm subbed to so many people if youtube showed me all of their best videos the home page would chock-full.

[@andregon4366]

4:02 Total War Warhammer 3 is great for co-op. Not sure if it makes good video material though. But it has everything, Cavalry, infantry, artillery, vikings (if they were absolutely crazy), native Americans (if they were lizard men), French (if they were humans) and much more.

[@mansfieldtime]

I Think the Best option would be 1 of 2 things. 1; find other KZbinrs who are willing to lend a hand to get their name in the credits and a follow up interview video. 2; go to a Medieval Fair and get some venders to add you for the same reason. Everyone would trade time and skill for advertisement in the credits and an interview video. It would still be difficult but the cost would be far less.

[@cavalieroutdoors6036]

This kind of silliness is why KZbin exists. And I welcome it.

"This is getting out of hand. Now there's two of them!"

[@christianfleisch2357]

~ 14:00 I think the thunmbnail system working on watch time is good, because it rewards thumbnails that accurately represent the video's content, and punishes misleading clickbait, which is a good thing for the viewers.

[@mandowarrior123]

No, it selects the worst thumbnail, so only those dedicated viewers who watch everything are drawn in. New viewers are likely only to taste.

[@metatronyt]

I disagree. That's already achieved by virtue of importance of average watch time. The algo rewards high watch time anyways. That's already done and fixed. A thumbnail still must attract people. You could have a horrible thumbnail but your base audience will watch a lot and the system will consider it the best performing. We are using photography to judge music.

[@christianfleisch2357]

​@@metatronyt "That's already achieved by virtue of importance of average watch time" - I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If you mean the general YT algorithm, this would be true, to wich I would agree. "We are using photography to judge music" - Which is (to some degree) reasonable. A Death Metal album would usually have different requirements to an album cover than a pop music album. You may not judge quality of a video by its thumbnail, but you should get an idea of the style of its content. For example: A documentary about medieval warfare might require a different thumbnail than a fantasy movie scene. For hones content creators this might be a inconvenience, but i think this system might be a deterrant for youtube channels who try to farm as much clicks as possible for minimum work. Your base audience will likely watch you virdeo even with a sub-standard thumbnail
