Someone like Gab smolders, not over the top reactions, with long videos. Gab does a lot of Nacy Drew and Hidden objects games which i don't really like.She also multiplier games with easysmall but not often as i would like. SMii7Y does mostly multiplier but his videos too vulgar for my taste.

I love this, I've been meaning to create a topic like this myself since I do love watching Let's Plays.

I think Welonz is pretty close to gold standard for me. She doesn't use a webcam so if that's a deal-breaker then be warned. Otherwise she is extremely attentive, delves deep into lore, is super smart and brings great analysis. Her final thoughts after finishing a game are always interesting to listen to. She would be my favourite if she didn't abandon Disco Elysium after only one trial episode (whyyy, it is literally perfect for you!?). Typically plays story heavy games and a lot of indie games. Found her through her excellent Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines playthrough.

Mapocolops is also great. Does use a webcam. Similar focus on lore, plays a wider variety of games, fewer indie games. Really like his commentary, reactions and play style. Deserves a special commemoration for his willingness to play retro games. Had a great playthrough of Deus Ex 1 last year, also played Fallout 1&2 recently. Is currently playing Deus Ex: Invisible War.

This reminded me of SuperBestFriends and now I’m sad again :( I watched those guys a lot, funny and with great chemistry, it’s like they were my friends or something lol. Crazy how that works.

Not sure if he's up your alley, but I enjoy Ryu (ryukahr) for this. I find his content cozy. I only watch his Mario channel but he has another channel with full play throughs of other games, mostly retro.

My favorite is Jacksepticeye.

Like just go through his old playthroughs, they're awesome. Life is Strange, Undertale, Detroit: Become Human, Until Dawn, every gameplay is a fun experience. I love the Irish Accent. Also I love that he says "herb" with the "h" instead of "erb". Its a pet peeve of mine, I hate "erb" for some reason. (I'm talking about Resident Evil games btw, herbs are in-game items)

Everything about him is just so... wholesome. I feel the very progressive vibes when it comes to LGBT characters in the games he play, he seems to appreciate that (unlike conservatives who bitch about "woke" all the time)

oh I've got quite a few. well, it's all over the place. I'm assuming you want long videos to have on in the background and not something, like, Jerma985's slapstick gameplay

Deus does challenge runs in the Shin Megami Tensei games and their like. Latest video was three hours long, but most of his videos are between one and two hours, I'd say. Fun to listen to someone speak about a game they're passionate about, and he never stops talking.

Amos has literally one playlist on their channel, a playthrough of an old game called Baroque. Very fun to listen to. They have a neocities page, which means to me that the aesthetic is good.

Kiwo technically might not count but she's a livestreamer who records all of her streams on youtube. another gamer who just enjoys playing games and talking to people in her chat. very chill vibes.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
