Ugh, breadtube. Still, this essay does such a good job at breaking down why New Vegas is good.

Also good at explaining why Bethesda sucks without blaming the scary wokes.

No really, it's actually a really interesting and fun analysis of game design and writing.

Holy shit hbomberguy. I think it might have been this exact video that pulled me from chuddery to mild progressivism, which later paved the way to me being an authoritankie. I got really interested in watching his other videos because I enjoyed this one a lot, and his "Woke Brands" video was probably the one that started the slow melting of my reactionary tendencies. I can still remember the mild pushback and annoyance I felt when watching that video, and how his other, more politically involved, videos eventually got me thinking, "you know, he has a point," which then got me to watching other breadtubers.

Wild to think that I'm probably further to the left than he is now

I know I sort made fun of myself in the post body for posting something breadtube related, but I have to really admit that my story is similar to yours, except it helped pull me away from liberalism instead of chuddery. Shaun and Hbomberguy specifically.
