A few days ago, YouTuber Hbomberguy released the video “Plagiarism and You(Tube).” It’s an insightful look at the current state of the creator economy, and how so much content these days is stolen. Or at least, that’s what I assume it’s about. That thing is 4 hours long! Why would I watch that when my whole gaming backlog is right there? Here’s 20 indie games that may or may not be in your own backlog, all of which you could beat in the time it takes you to watch that new Hbomberguy video.

    I know it’s satire, but for real you should watch that video. Especially if you care at all about queer media. Take your time and watch the chapters separately if it’s overwhelming.

    You could beat Project Zomboid in a fraction of the video: just run outside after spawning and press Q.

      In Far Cry 4, right at the beginning, when the bad guy offers you some crab Rangoon, if you just sit there and eat it, all the problems are avoided and the game finishes lol

    I very much doubt that most players could beat 20 Minutes till Dawn in four hours on the first try, except the ones with a lot of experience in playing surviverslike games.

        Congratulations! However, I´m pretty sure you were good at survivor likes before.

    Thanks man, I won’t be playing those games and I just subscribed!

    Edit: I just realized I know Brothers: A tale of Two sons, the only game I have from the list.

    Finished it back on Xbox 360, time to dive back on PC?

    12 Minutes

    Shit! Do NOT play this one.

    LOL, this is actually a decent list. Alternatively you could just play Snowrunner for a few days and watch it in the background
