this morning, before I start work: watching people play video games.
⚔️ watching one person play one video game.
⚔️ maybe two video games.
yesterday, I watched DDRJake play Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library!.⚙️ the plot: there are 3072 books on the floor. put them on shelves. you can use magic to help.
watching it gave me motion sickness, so after about 10 minutes I had it as audio-only 💡 he's good at commentating, and the graphics are just "walk, pick up book, walk, put book down". and he made some bad strategic choices, so he missed the (user) time limit. 🌎 but I stopped the audio after 40 minutes

today, we have "Tametsi" - advanced minesweeper.
He ... is not good at this one either. If I am watching closely, I see most of the mistakes immediately. and then have to watch him flounder until he catches the mistake, or makes another one.
but, as a recording of someone on another content playing a video game, I have no "agency" over the stream. also, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses.
