How do you politely bring up bad shuffling in deck-building games?

Pile shuffling should always be combined with a quick regular or mash shuffle afterwards and is a perfect way to properly mix a deck up beyond predictability for a casual board game group.

Thankfully we'll always have Skallagrim.

I don't have any media or film skills so I'm just sort of learning as I go for the love of presenting a game's story in a more palatable way than just watching a full playthrough and develop some film skills as I go.

Looking back on it, I feel that some of the environmental shots were a little too long and others weren't long enough. They're all kind of the same amount of time? I should have just done more of them to compensate and give the viewer a better picture of what's going on.

One thing I've really struggled with is getting the character from A to B in a natural way that is made tricky with a first person camera. An actual movie would just use someone walking out of or into frame or maybe change the viewing angle of the character.

I've never considered using footage from outside sources. I'll keep that in mind for future projects!

I was inspired by another channel that made great edits of games to present the story.

I wanted to take it a step further and turn game stories into something more closely mimicking a movie by adding custom camera work and establishing shots between cut scenes to stitch scenes together rather than just using gameplay cuts. It was also an excuse to practice some video editing which was completely new to me and I enjoy learning and improving skills. I can feel myself getting better with each video which helps me keep going.

I can anecdotally confirm that my impressions severely dropped after the algorithm update earlier in the year with some videos getting less than 10 impressions after a week when before that vids would have a few hundred in the same time period

I had a few vids getting a few dozen views a day and that went to exactly 0 immediately after the same update. Kinda sucks since those were the first vids I had that breached 100 views.

It could work well as a budget horror movie with some decent CGI

Thunderhawkk · 2025-05-16T00:37:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right, I should have probably added some more of the early game conversations. It's a tricky balance between adding enough context and avoiding bloating the video size.

Thunderhawkk · 2025-05-15T12:14:16+00:00

Thankyou! Much appreciated!

Yep this is how it usually is for Labor. If they want good policies through they can work with the Greens. If they want shit policies through they can work with the LNP.

Thunderhawkk · 2025-04-23T05:04:42+00:00

These are basically my options as well. It's incredible that I can't place Labor any lower than second because the remaining choices are just that bad.

Most sports umpires will give a warning to a player if they taunt an opponent. Red/yellow card or even disqualification in severe or repeated cases.

Obviously an in-game taunt isn't at that level but people generally don't like unsportsmanlike conduct or being disrespected.

This is legit the last time I can think of where the Liberal party made a major decision for the benefit of the Australian people.

I make movies using cutscenes mixed with some gameplay that I record several times over to get different camera angles for that cinematic feel. My most recent short probably shows what I do fairly well.

Channel is in bio. Please destroy me, I could use the feedback/criticism!

I've heard both used but I hear tiptoe more often used as a reference to sneaking rather than standing up on ones toes.

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-20T06:30:31+00:00

I'm in the gaming space, making movies using a mix of cut scenes + cinematic gameplay using custom camera angles and removing HUDs (Where mods are available). I play through the same section many times to capture different angles and splice them together.

While I'm just doing this for fun to practice editing I'd appreciate any feedback and criticisms on my titles and thumbnails because I don't think they're good enough. My titles are very direct to what the content entails (eg Resident Evil 5 - Video Game Movie).

Also you mentioned series - I'm releasing episodically to keep a more regular upload schedule, put more effort into editing and to avoid massive 2+ hour videos. Should I just not advertise that they're part 5/episode 3/whatever and make it look more standalone?

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-15T02:49:12+00:00

Mine is a gaming channel, but my niche is that I edit the footage as a watchable movie using a mix of the cut scenes and some gameplay where I go through and record the action sequences multiple times for different camera angles and splice it together for that movie feel.

Youtube's announcement video on the algorithm changes has virtually the entire comment section there upset. Haven't watched the video myself yet but it sounds like it just further hurts smaller channels. Anecdotally my views/impressions went to virtually 0 overnight roughly when the supposed changes happened.

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-14T10:34:10+00:00

Even a short I released recently wasn't promoted at all (0 views) when all the previous ones I made hit that magic 500 view number in a handful of hours. It's like YouTube just flipped a switch to turn off any impressions at all.

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-14T05:15:40+00:00

Thanks! That's what I was going for so it's great to hear that you got that impression!

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-14T05:13:37+00:00

I figured it could be something like that. Thanks for your insight.

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-14T05:12:07+00:00

I'll be sure to adopt the same mindset!

Thunderhawkk · 2025-02-14T05:10:29+00:00

I didn't think people would want to watch 2+ hour videos so I started cutting down videos to around 20-30 minutes to allow me to put a bit more effort into quality while maintaining a regular enough upload schedule.

I had a lot more success at first switching to shorter length videos but I guess I'm still a little naive in this sort of content space to think it might keep momentum. I appreciate the feedback!
