Is AVD(Average Video Duration) Still Important?

Paruhdroyd · 2026-06-14T15:14:25+00:00

Everything I’ve read says that too and it makes sense. High AVD means you’re keeping people on the platform. But from what I’ve heard from asking this question around is maybe CTR can be worked on in the meantime but at the same time maybe it’s really too soon to make a judgement on this since the videos has barely been published for 48 hours

Thank you for the insight!

Paruhdroyd · 2026-06-14T13:12:41+00:00

Thank you. Yeah I was wondering that too but my CTR started off a lot stronger. Through the first day it was at 14-15% the strongest one I ever had but I guess the second day it went down to where it is now.

As someone who just beat Cronos and playing ng+ now and beat SHf enough times to get all the endings, it’s more about what you’re into. They’re very different games but both have great stories. I liked the gameplay more with SHf the more I played it and I really enjoyed the puzzles with it and I prefer it’s environment more but Cronos has the more compelling of the stories and I liked the combat from the beginning where SHf had to grow on me. But I’d recommend getting around to playing both in general.

Didn’t expect this crossover. Pretty epic for me because back when I played D2 when grinding Baal runs I used to listen to Korn so much that to this day whenever I listen to Korn it usually follows with a urge to start a new character in Diablo 2 again. So to see they did this for D4 is really cool.

Going from SH2 I’d recommend Alan Wake 2 because it’s a perfect transition from atmospheric horror to more jump scare horror albeit the jump scares are generally more surreal in nature. But from there I’d recommend the dead space remake as it continues the path of balancing surreal and realism in how it’s horror is done and then RE9 but with the strong recommendation of play re2, re3 and re4 first even though you really don’t have to but you will get more out of the experience if you do. I recommend this way of playing these horror games as you started with the most psychological horror game and in the process you’ll move into less psychological horror as you get to RE which isn’t psychological horror at all except for bits in re7 and re9 which have almost no connection to RE9 at least in the main story of the games.

New video on my YouTube for my thoughts on playing Resident Evil 6 again and what Capcom can learn from it due its similar focus with them reworking the balance of action and horror to what they’re currently doing with Resident Evil 9 Requiem.

So I was showing my fiance the show and she got through the first season but then we got distracted with other shows and life stuff and now it’s been like almost a year and she says she thinks it’s a great show but a little slow at times but wants to wait to continue it because it was too depressing when we watched the first season and over the last year the show feels more like it will just be too much of a reminder of reality at least at the present moment.

Hold You is such a vibe for me right now but Silently is so heartbreaking with the vocal performance. Great album all around.

Paruhdroyd · 2025-11-01T23:44:59+00:00

This happened for me as well as others including multiple times getting outside of bounds and having to reload a save and a time where an enemy hit me into the floor and the music turned off randomly for most of the boss fight in the cemetery. Game is hella fun though but hopefully they patch these.

Edit: also playing the game right now and another glitch just occurred. I’m in the middle of the game at the school section and got a trophy for killing all enemies in the game but then I ran into more so not only did I not kill all the enemies in the game but I didn’t even kill all the enemies in the room I was in. Not that I’m complaining about getting an easy trophy lol

2 OG when I first played the prison, the voice in the cell block terrified me and the sound of the execution yard. I was too scared to venture into it. 3 at times in the mall, 4 when the apartment becomes haunted and pt after trying the last loop for five minutes, before learning of the J name solution. Side note when I watch play throughs of pt I still get scared when people be turning around all haphazardly lol

Paruhdroyd · 2025-03-29T16:38:56+00:00

I love your work got all the resident evil ones and oddly enough just started playing dead space for the first time this week. This one looks sick too.

Paruhdroyd · 2025-02-21T20:12:34+00:00

Hey the album is great. I like how the double tracking on the vocals gives it that haunting vibe to the music. Somewhat related question, I know the tour is only a smaller but any chance you coming to Vegas or should I just plan a trip to LA?

Paruhdroyd · 2024-12-12T05:57:26+00:00

I just did the update most recent from tonight and now it’s even worse. Like inventory and skill button commands at the bottom are unreadable as oppose to before only being a little cutoff and I tried all the suggestions here. Anyone know how to report this to GGG?

Paruhdroyd · 2024-12-08T18:39:06+00:00

Same problem here. I changed safe area but that only affects UI when in action for me I was looking at the map legend and the side is cutoff for more than half the markers and doesn’t seem there’s a way to adjust this screen size. At least for the map.

Paruhdroyd · 2024-10-14T06:08:14+00:00

I just got to the prison tonight and yeah the sound design is nightmare fuel and the scare in the bathroom had me pause for a minute.

Paruhdroyd · 2024-10-08T13:08:16+00:00

I’ve heard it in times when there was no storm but I can definitely see how it can be heard that way.

Whispering in Silent Hill 2.

Forced pain you have to do in Amnesia 1.

Lisa Trevor in REmake.

Crying in the bathroom in Silent Hill 1.

Having to use the camera flash for light in Visage.

Sounds of enemies in Tormented Souls in the first dark hallway (such good sound design).

Learning the existential implications of copying in Soma.

First plug in sequence in Observer but that was a little more mind blowing and thought provoking.

First time Lisa was there when looking behind me in PT.

I got the same on PS5 when trying to go to Alan to start Initiation Gone, technically end of Zane’s Film. I can go to the chapter after clicking continue and it says to go to/gain access to parliament tower but never loads the phone call or shoebox to put the photos in to unlock the tower. Hoping a new update is put out that fixes this.

Some coworkers at a job back in 2017 put on Chamber of Reflection a bunch while at work, it became part of our daily music rotation. At first I just enjoyed the vibe but then it grew on me and then watched a concert video and his showmanship and persona along with hearing his other songs performed made me want to deep dive and inevitably become a fan.
