    Every time I see these crypto games, I can only think of the online uwu pit bosses shown in that one Folding Ideas video who were driving workers to slave away for less than the minimum wage in the Phillipines. Just permanently burned-in mental imagery.

    This is a cool channel by the way. I’m stealing this description from someone in the YouTube comments, but he has a creative “glitchcore SFM aesthetic” that I kind of like and his speaking cadence reminds me of Primer. His style works strangely well for ripping into NFT games. This video felt like looking into a funhouse mirror dimension where every genre of game is somehow even worse than the worst games I’ve ever seen.

    Also, the Dr. Disrespect-Chewbacca mask guy doing NFT lootbox openings is something I can’t unsee. That’s honestly so much funnier that he’s still doing it after the Dr. Disrespect sexting minors scandal.

      It’s a good channel to put on the second monitor.

      Jauwn’s relatively calm tone does work well with NFT game scheme overview videos. The semi-serious review approach honestly makes the whole thing even more entertaining.
