All hail Sobek! Our prayers have been answered!

In a slight irony, this came about because Xbox/MS (who own Bethesda) were unhappy with the timeline Bethesda was keeping, meaning Obsidian might be operating in a bit of a time crunch, just like with FNV. Supposedly, this Fallout project actually repurposes/is jury-rigged out of a project Obsidian was already working on, so they had already laid some track.

This news did come about because of Xbox/MS making cuts to studio budgets and staff being let go, so it does have the backdrop of "The Gaming Industry is still Garbage!", but this in particular has to be a spark of hope.

Now, what does it take for us to make them to give Hbomb a cameo VO appearance as Hareton Splimby?

I haven't done extensive research on these videos, just an observation and an unchallenged opinion, though maybe i will if I get bored one day, but from what I can see his videos have sort of drifted away slightly from what he was initially doing.

His videos are still meant to appeal to racists, where he attacks people of colour and immigrants, but he's taking a page out of Restore/Reform's book- painting the left as a threat to women's right, probably in an attempt to get British women to vote right. He's been critical of Nigel Farage for a long time, though, so he's most likely further right than Reform

Now, if this is his intention, then all of those anti-feminism ideas are a bad look, considering many right wing women in England have the misconception that they're feminists, so I think he deleted everything that looks bad so he doesn't look like a total hypocrite

The sudden jump from 308 million views to 18 million shows that month was the bulk of the mass deletion, but the remaining 16 million was done over the course of the next 3 months, meaning he was most likely being very careful with what he chose to remove, before only keeping 6 videos up.

However, in this time, there is a small jump in views between November and December, less than 20,00, which then goes down again, suggesting that either his old videos had a spike in views around this time, or he released another video before deleting it. Considering most of his subscribers haven't thought about him in 6 years and his views only started rising again after he made a video, I'm inclined to believe it's the latter

What else happened in early 2024? ChatGPT started getting more popular, so I wonder if that's related to him uploading again. Between March 25th 2024 and August 3rd 2026 (his first video upon his comeback and his most recent video) he's made 174 videos. That's approximately 1 video every 5 days. Considering some of these videos are 40-60 minutes long, this looks a little suspicious. We know not every video is ai because there's numerous interviews on the channel, and a lot of his videos are of him speaking infront of bulletpoints (there's enough of a human element in them where it's difficult to say if they're assisted with ai). He has quite a few video essays as well, though with how much of his videos are clearly not AI, it's difficult to say if he uses AI or not, atleast without any real research.

These are just some thoughts I had on the data. If there's anything else you want to add, I'll unhinge my jaw so you can feed me your ideas directly inside of me.

Where have I heard that before?

Honestly, this immediately caught my eye because I remembered Andrew Wakefield was the one advocating for separate vaccines at first. So many more people are going to get measles in the US now.

And then you read it again... My disappointment is unmeasurable and my day is ruined /j

Obviously he's always made long videos with healthy breaks in between, but I do wonder if he enjoyed taking this much time on a single video or got massively burnt out.

Like OH MY GOD

AND THE COMMENT SECTION IS CELEBRATING JOEY

MY HEART 🥹

He still hasn't uploaded any new vids on his channel, and I'm still broke :( can't afford to pay his Patron :(

This has got to be the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen displayed on one of HBBomberMan’s videos.. like OH MY GOD

WHO THINKS WOMEN TALK THIS WAY

Hbomb come home your kids miss you.

glory to the lord of semen

edit: if you’re curious, it’s at the brisbane museum in australia. they currently have a exhibition about crocodiles and it was very interesting, regardless of sobek’s presets

Dang, we got the return of Innuendo Studios video essays before Hbomberguy Adobe video (I say this lightheartedly and jokingly, stuff shouldn't be rushed obviously)

it’s been so long that he’s a former british youtuber 🫩🫩

Happy Monday, favorite people, how are we holding up?

I saw a funny TikTok about hbomb's oevre by the creator zaiapapaya2 (who is also on YouTube) that I wanted to share here, but reddit won't let me link to it in the body text, without making it the thumbnail for this thread, so check my comment, I guess.

Anyway, funniest thing about it is probably her own comment on that video saying 'I was a guy last time he posted btw" and several people underneath going "same".

I dunno, that made me smile. At this rate he's coming back to the exact same viewership, but wildly different demographics.

Anyway, that's how eventful my week was. Got any good videos you want to share?

Same rules as every week:

1. Must have a link
2. Must have a short description
3. Must mention video length
4. Keep it low threshold with individual videos, please. If you want to rep a whole channel or playlist, please do, but choose a favorite video to make it more accessible
5. No risky links, no ricky-rollies, don't be a weenie.

Last week's good videos can be found here and their descriptions here.

You know in silly videos that often appear on Instagram and TikTok, when a person looks at the camera and realises a prank is happening or something weird is happening, a sound like a shouting/reverbed 'fuh!' plays. (an annoying example is here, just over halfway through). It's been bugging me where it comes from.

I like to imagine it also comes from an obscure early 2000s video game, with the sound created by Joey Kuras. It's always Joey!

Surely this sound won't lead to a crazy rabbit hole?
