okay, said id be back with youtube reccs so here goes
kruggsmash is one of my go to guys at this point for backnoise- he does dwarf fortress playthroughs with added illustrations and narration, and his work is genuinely some of the highest production value stuff i've seen on youtube that still aligns with what i like media-wise. zen got me into him! i personally recommend his deadbody/hunt for the glacier's eye let's play, it's pretty short and uses the new edition of dwarf fortress so it's pretty easy to follow visually, and has a super compelling concept behind it.
absolblogspokemon/theabsol is my #1 favorite youtube channel rn and possibly ever, if you like pokemon and especially pokemon challenges you have to watch his videos, i am making it the law. his stuff alternates between more large scale challenges such as getting an entire dex via wonder trade and collecting all the forms of a pokemon and shiny hunting. he has a big focus on exploring the limitations in pokemon and self imposing challenges, while also peppering in stuff like "i went for a walk while doing this hunt, here's some nature footage" or "i visited some friends while doing this, here's what we did". it's extremely calming and genuine and i cannot recommend it enough. he also does playthrough "movies" of new games when they come out, and they are SUPER fucking well edited and cozy to watch. watch this guy if no one else here, seriously
thesupremerk9s is another poketuber, and the only one i watch outside of absolblogs. he's a shiny hunter first and foremost and actually does a lot of collabs with absolblogs, mainly "shiny races" in legends arceus where they get on call/stream together to see who can find five shinies first. he's a lot higher energy than absol but is also openly gay and has a lot of fun with his boyfriend on streams/in videos and it's genuinely really cute and fun. @vic you would probably really like this guy. he also does "cosplay hunts" where he dresses up in REALLY ELABORATE costumes for the duration of a themed shiny hunt- the big example i can think of right now is dressing up as winnifred sanderson from hocus pocus for a "black flame candle" litwick hunt for halloween. fucking cool
lilsimsie is the one sims youtuber/streamer i actually keep up with, and she's genuinely very cool. she's definitely queer friendly and supports the rights and recognition of BIPOC creators in the sims community and that fucking rules. she also works directly with EA as an ambassador WHILE providing honest review of their products and covering things like bugs, leaks, etc, so you can pretty much always trust her judgment on things even with her getting codes and such. also covers mod stuff! if you're interested in sims 4, she's pretty much the go to for stuff to watch.
royaltysoaps is a channel that ace recommended to us and is a generally enjoyable watch, even if she's a bit high energy for me sometimes. it is genuinely very cool to see an art medium that you're not familiar with in action and learning the beauty conventions of that medium, as well as just seeing some neat techniques. i have no interest in soap if i'm being real but watching this stuff is just Cool
supereyepatchwolf is one of my favorite video essayists and really good when it comes to anime coverage. not all of the stuff he makes vibes with me and i do have some Critiques of some of his takes but these are really good videos to just put on for an hour and chill to. good stuff.
izzyzzz is the other video essayist i watch, especially because they cover petsites! and old websites and games i used to be really invested in. they have a very genuine feel (thats a consistent thing in the stuff i watch tbh...) and it's great stuff. highly recommend.
meivu is the unboxing youtuber i mentioned earlier and this is, as far as i know, literally her entire schtick. not much to say here but it is a lot of very pretty art toys
maqaroon is a DIY youtuber who mostly focuses on making toys, which is great and honestly really makes me want to get back into crafting again. i just like her videos.
thereportoftheweek is a fast food reviewer and if you have not seen his stuff You Must, the guy is incredible and has impeccable taste in fashion and presentation. he reviews everything with honesty and as someone who is inclined towards a fast food chicken tender or two it's really helpful to have a guide on "hey, what is actually good to order vs what gets fucked up often" before i spend a bunch of money on it. also they're just entertaining videos
mattmcmuscles is one of the two other videogame let's players/reviewers i follow and i have been a fan since high school- he's a really cool guy who's come a long way in his takes and overall attitude, but he's just a lot of fun to watch and does really cool breakdowns of what went wrong with different videogame flops. personally i prefer his edited content or when he's commentating alongside another youtuber!
woolie versus is the other gamer youtuber i watch- he's even more chill vibes-wise than matt and his podcast clips with angriestpat are genuinely really funny and enlightening towards the videogame industry and current media trends. i've watched a couple of his let's plays and they're really good too, and como especially enjoys his fighting game videos.
grand illusions is my last recommendation and a classic favorite- it's basically a nice old man reviewing different kinds of toys from various eras, and there is nothing better than that for when you need something chill and relaxing. i really want to go through these videos at some point and take some inspiration for some more out there plaything stuff at some point!
those are my favorites off the top of my head, i almost definitely missed some. enjoy
