I’ve never had anything related to WH40K.
I’ve never played a game in the WH40K universe.
I have watched a 30 hour video series on The God Emperor.
Other 8-20 hour videos explaining the basic lore on each faction.
And two video series that are probably 50+ hours, about the history of the WH40K universe overall.
And apparently, I have still only scratched the surface.
Do I have any intention of playing WH40K games or buying anything related to it?
Nope, none what so ever.
Am I likely to watch any more content related to WH40K?
Yes, in fact, I have about 500 hours worth of videos in a playlist to watch later.
40k lore is awesome because it’s completely ridiculous in so many ways, but at the same time completely realistic in many other ways.
I really fucking hope Henry Cavill gets to make the WH40K series and the right way.
Share??? I’ve also got no interest in playing but want to explore the lore :D
Not the person you asked the question but my recomendation for 40K lore is Luetin09 on YouTube.
There’s a soothing quality to his voice when narrating the horrors of the grim future that is very pleasant to hear.
Looking at you summoningsalt
I watch reviews for old games I already know a lot about, just to hear the stupid hot takes modern gamers who weren’t even alive at the time the game they’re playing was released have about games that were awesome in their own time that may not have held up to today’s standards.
Like all the dudes that wonder how Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are considered good when something from 2019 is so much better. lol
They don’t appreciate the technical leaps either. DOOM was mind-boggling ahead of it’s time and Carmack is an absolute genius but kids these days couldn’t care less.
Boomer shooters are all the rage right now.
I really don’t watch TV shows or movies much anymore, just long form content from YouTube. Give me a few one hour videos on retro computers and am golden.
That one channel where every video is just dunking on Billy Mitchell about everything and anything.
I mean, it’s brilliant!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It certainly helps that TV is garbage these days.
I think it’s just a problem of quantity over quality because the streaming era has flooded the market with so much filler just to justify their overpriced subscriptions, but there’s still a handful of awesome stuff if you want to take the time to sift through the garbage to find it. Fargo is pretty good if you liked the movies. Mr. Robot was great. The first season of True Detective was excellent, and season 4 with Jodie Foster comes out in January.
Hopefully now that the writers are going back to work with better contracts, things will start to turn around.
Let’s be real, no one actually ever finished Outer Wilds.
Speak for yourself! I couldn’t get enough of that game, got %100 on it and restarted it to complete it again (although I don’t think I got every log the second time around)
You beat Myst without taking any notes too didn’t you? 😝
Lol, now that’s one I never got around to beating xD
Bonkers to me that you did not finish it. The game is not very hard, extremely rewarding, and has a beyond phenomenal ending. I could not stop playing it and absolutely shed tears when the ending credits rolled.
Is that a novel or something?

This post is just an ad for vaatividya isn’t it!?
I often watch his videos to go to sleep. Although I do actually play all those games.
There’s ironically less commitment. No need to worry about missing something crucial by looking away, no struggle to stay engaged with the plot.
Yes, I too love RetroAhoy
Maybe TV shows need to be more interesting than a 3 hour gaming video.
See any of the noclip documentaries.
Damn you Pyrocynical
Guilty of this with Blasphemous. Never played the game. Watched an hour long lore video about the first game and then like a 40 minute lore video about the second game. Phenomenal lore, highly recommend.
I love watching Rust videos but hate playing FPS.
