What are some of your favorite YouTube video(s) that always pull you back?
Be it weeks, months, or years since you've last seen them, but you know you'll want to come back and watch them again.

I'm looking for specific videos you find great value in re-experiencing.

It absolutely doesn't matter what the video is, how many views it has, how long it is, or what it's topic and genre are - it just has to be something you'll always want to re-watch and experience from time to time.
It could be for nostalgia, sentimental value, memories, meaning, usefulness, something that cheers up when you're feeling down, something that inspires you, cracks you up, tickles your emotions, some vibe you really like, something immersive or anything meaningful enough that keeps you coming back.

My motivation behind this post is to potentially find some gems I still haven't discovered to add to my collection (and perhaps help others do the same).

EDIT:
I guess it would be fair I also share some of mine, both as examples and to share these finds with others who may also like them (some of my favorites, random order):

Alternative description of what I'm looking for:
Which video(s) do you love so much (and keep watching repeatedly) that you would want them backed up and saved offline in a hypothetical scenario of a global permanent internet outage?

I've actually had plans to try RLCraft for years now, but never got around to it. This makes me wanna give it a shot.

I just made up a new post format I believe could be useful. [WDYP] X

A post where people ask others why they still play a certain game X. This could help people gain ideas and new perspectives on the game they used to play but stopped because they got bored/lost interest in it or got dragged into another game that offered a more exciting reason to play it instead. OP can add reasons why they may still play the game or they could ask what makes others still come back to it.

I'll start. Why do you still play MINECRAFT? What are your goals within the game? What drives you to spend your time in this game's world? How do you play it?

What makes me return to Minecraft every once in a while is a small server that is very close to vanilla Minecraft (semi-anarchy) and if you die you get banned for 24h (semi-hardcore). You can play here similar to how you would play in your own single-player world but with the added threat of someone stumbling upon your base, as well as you potentially finding someone else's base. The server has a small player-run economy. I can log into this server and just mindlessly mine for diamonds when I'm tired and need some brain time off or fly around the map hunting for bases or player-left artifacts, building automatic farms, or simply cutting trees to sell to others. I don't play it every day, but this server always makes me boot Minecraft and stop by every couple of weeks or so.

If you play Minecraft, what makes you keep coming back to it?

Yeah, that's def sus, but could also be normal. I'm on Win10 spyware OS tho since I play a lot of games that just don't work on Linux atm and maybe never will (AC). I'd def be an Arch full timer if I wasn't addicted to games with malwareish anti-cheats.

I'll take a look, thank you!

Interesting project for sure!

Not sure what you mean by "Other than Discord?".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah, it didn't detect anything. When I click "Open file location" it takes me to the legit Discord.exe it's also not detected on VirusTotal and it's signed by Discord the company. After multiple clean reinstalls (uninstalling + deleting all Discord files from %appdata% local and roaming) it still seems to be happening. Like... there is no way this isn't some rare Discord bug or malware. And I would really like to know which one it is, haha. After talking with some friends and family - NONE of them have this thing happening on their machines.

I don't actually mind the CPU usage, I'm just concerned I got malware.

 

A while ago I've noticed Discord using 8-10% of my CPU every time I open Task Manager. This doesn't really sound weird... Until you realize this is when my Discord client is NOT running (AKA after I fully exit out of it so it's not even present in the tray area on the right side of the taskbar). From what I can tell, it's using about 400MB of memory, no disk or network and about 8% of CPU (I have 6 cores/12 threads and that 8-10% seems to be distributed among all of them). It's possible it uses disk and network in short bursts after a long period of inactivity, but I havent spotted it doing that so far). If I were to kill Discord.exe in the task manager - it would go away and not come back until I restarted my computer. At first, I didn't think much of it - I thought maybe it's doing some background update or something, but it is constant, it doesn't go away unless I kill it. When I run Discord - another Discord entry appears in the task manager - the suspicious one seems unaffected. Both entries take me to the same file when I click "Open file location". The file seems normal and signed by Discord. What is going on here? Do you guys also have this going on or is it just me? I'm getting some really sus vibes ngl. I suspect a discord bug/unoptimized code, 3rd party malware or Discord itself secretly doing some malicious thing.

UPDATE: Multiple clean reinstalls haven't helped.

Looks great. I wonder if it will support high bitrate tho.
