I haven't been watching Second Wind since all the drama that Frost unearthed when he left, so I don't know if this is a trend with Yahtzee lately, but did this seem incredibly short to anyone else?

I could have sworn that he usually went into more detail in these year end best/worst/blandest videos. This one barely had a single throwaway joke for each entry.

I still watch Yahtzee and Design Delve. (Thrilled that Frost is still doing Cold Take on his own.) I agree, this seemed phoned in.

Nick Calandra sucks ass. The only thing worth watching on second wind after Frost left is Yahtzee's material. It's quickly turning into Escapist 2.0 again.

Nick has a saviour complex. Second wind will fail because of his idiocy and hypocrisy.

Did anything more happen?

I stopped watching them after Frost's video. Which is a shame, I did like Yahtzee and didn't mind Design Delve.

I've really had enough of YouTubers telling me that I didn't actually enjoy games I've played, and trying to get me to jump on the hate bandwagon

His opinion on astro bot being purely self fellatio keeps rubbing me the wrong way. Like he saw cameos and feels like that's the only thing the game has to offer. He never talks about the other merits the game has. Even in him saying it's his 5th best this year it's still just a "in spite of all the cameos, it's still fun", like he has no idea why it's fun.

I've seen it and listened to the various podcast episodes he talks about it too
