What is your favourite Youtube channel(s) + giveaway

https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWiens
Guy has SO MANY food videos, its great to turn on during dinner.

I'll try to fill in all mentioned types with 1 recommendation.

gaming:
https://www.youtube.com/@ryegamesofficial (reason: plays dead/unpopular games, revisits old stuff)

https://www.youtube.com/@MathChief (reason: exposes lots of games releases/announcements, from popular to unpopular, his documentary can be quite painful to listen to, but he does expose lots of games and there is always new games i learn from here)

vtubers (not really my kind of thing):
https://www.youtube.com/@AiAngel (reason: i used to watch this channel before it became a vtuber channel, previously it was VR focused with funny reactions, i saw the transition from the previous content to vtuber but i didn't tag along for long)

music:
https://www.youtube.com/@MrSuicideSheep (reason: this is oldschool, i feel like nothing beats this channel when it comes to music, i found about this back when i was in highschool)

https://www.youtube.com/@LofiGirl (reason: just as good as suicidesheep, i found out about this one like 4-5 years ago)

food:
https://www.youtube.com/@creative_explained (reason: i don't feel like it's really related to food, but more so know-how with growing your own food)

https://www.youtube.com/@BayashiTV_ (reason: food related, overwhelming though. This is probably the food channel i saw the most videos/shorts from)

art:
https://www.youtube.com/@MeatCanyon (reason: to me this is both art and animation/cartoon, weird content, but somewhat funny too)

Spraypainting (no channel in specific, but i do like watching people create quick art using spraypaint from time to time, example, artists creating cosmic stuff, i did buy some cosmic paintings back in 2020 when i found out about this, during vacation in my country, then i searched youtube for more of this)

comedy:
https://www.youtube.com/@InternetHistorian (reason: it's just too good, yes the videos are long but this is top tier comedy, the creator does put lots of effort and time into his videos, which is why they also takes ages to come out)

unboxing:
https://www.youtube.com/@Mrwhosetheboss (reason: not really unboxing focused but it does happen from time to time, i feel like this is the main channel for unboxing tech related stuff for me, i do like his videos when he compares tech or showcases weird tech, this is why i am mentioning it.)

history:
https://www.youtube.com/@Thoughty2 (reason: not really a history channel, but he does touch some points at random with his videos)

cartoons:
https://www.youtube.com/@hyunsdojo (reason: oldschool stickman animations, there are even older ones but this is the oldest active channel AFAIK)

https://www.youtube.com/@Jhanzori (reason: more stickman stuff, also "newer")

https://www.youtube.com/@TorrinSol (reason: person that creates dragon ball animations using a game and a mix of other tools/mods)

etc/random/others:
https://www.youtube.com/@CarlieAndAnge (reason: reaction channel, mostly focused in anime, sometimes they react to non anime stuff like tv shows)

https://www.youtube.com/@MooresLawIsDead (reason: game tech news, game tech leaks, etc... Usually one of the early sources for leaks on technology)

https://www.youtube.com/@MondoCool (reason: exposes fanmade manga from the dragonball fandom. Does voiceover, some animations/effects on the manga to make it less dull of an experience)

https://www.youtube.com/@TierZoo (reason: tierlist for animals/insects)

Most of these channels is what i watch/rewatch actively, some of them every once in a while (like in over a month but less than 3 months). There are more than these, but i feel like i mentioned quite a good selection already.

Also, thanks for the marbles mention, i did watch many videos years ago just for the heck of it. Completely forgot it was a thing!

Games

Worldwide content :

https://www.youtube.com/@cas

And https://www.youtube.com/@joueurdugrenier, a sort of Franch AVGN.

And for music : https://www.youtube.com/@monstercatinstinct

I like to take a look at CCC (Chaos Computer Club)'s youtube every now and then. There are a lot of interesting talks there, e.g. 35C3 - Conquering Large Numbers at the LHC or, for the German speaking crowd, GPN16: Wie baut man eigentlich Raumschiffe (urs).

I've enjoyed marble racing videos like those by Jelle too!

Also enjoy watching:
Cathy Cat https://www.youtube.com/@CathyCat (I have a big crush on Cathy)
Ask Japanese https://www.youtube.com/@AskJapanese
LogicSmash (vintage logo channel) https://www.youtube.com/@LogicSmash (and other channels dealing with vintage media logos)
Various fan noise channels
Various vintage synthesizer channels

And Cinemassacre/AVGN and CS188 (don't know if their humor is too crude/NSFW to post links here, but look them up on YouTube)

https://youtube.com/@foekoe - this is my favourite gaming/reviewer youtuber, if it were not for him, I would've missed out on a plethora of indie games in life and be stuck in a constant loop of recycled AAA and monotonous games.

And also unlike pyrocynical, he doesn't cope with his inability to fund and post high quality well edited videos frequently by posting god awful slop content on his second channel.

A bunch of general categories:

Math, Science, Computer Science

• Matt Parker / Stand Up Maths
• Randall Munroe / xkcd's What if?
• Grant Sanderson / 3Blue1Brown
• Lego Island Guy MattKC (though this might also count as a gaming channel?)

Story telling, writing

• Tale Foundry
• Hello Future Me

Board games

• Shut Up & Sit Down
• Jon Purkis / actualol

TV shows, et cetera

• Schaffrillas Productions
• SFDebris / SFDebris Red
• Gigguk

Video game design and "behind the scenes" stuff

• Beta64
• Adam Millard - The Architect of Games
• Mark Brown / Game Makers Toolkit
• Design Doc
• Retro Game Mechanics Explained
• People Make Games

Video games in general

• DarylTalksGames
• Bismuth
• Summoning Salt
• Phobia
• Gaming Historian

Most importantly, though, my favourite kind of content: Incredibly detailed deep dives into specific games - the kind of channels that investigate every facet of one game (or game series), explore and explain glitches and show off obscure stuff you wouldn't find on more general gaming channels.

• Pannenkoek2012 and his side channel, UncommentatedPannen
  Mostly known for his contribution to the "A Button Challenge", which attempts to beat Super Mario 64 with as few A button presses as possible (Bismuth madea great video series about this a while back), Pannen's channel shows the incredible work the ABC crew is doing, which includes basically reverse engineering the entire game. He recently made a video about collecting a star using only the B button, and the techniques and obscure knowledge that went into this are insane!
• TheZZAZZGlitch
  Explores glitches in the first three generations of Pokémon, as well as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon occasionally. If you've taken a somewhat more than casual glance at the old Pokémon games, you probably know that they are rather glitchy and broken, but what this channel shows goes far beyond that.
• Crystal_
  Similar to above, glitch showcases for the first two Pokémon generations... though they haven't uploaded anything new in six years.
• Kaztalek
  According to his channel description, he's a "Majora's Mask" scientist, though he's worked with Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker, as well. He, along with a few other Zelda TASers, organises a "LOTAD" every February, which beats a Zelda game (mostly the N64 ones) with some strange or arbitrary rules, like with as few pauses as possible, or not being allowed to open any doors.
• Hunter R.
  Shows glitches and obscure knowledge of the Animal Crossing series, mostly the one on the Nintendo GameCube. I'm not much into Animal Crossing, but I find the different mechanics that went into making these (comparatively) simple games feel more alive than they actually are very fascinating.
• Monster Maze
  Explores video game lore, largely for The Legend of Zelda, but there's some other videos on games like Elden Ring, as well.
• Droomish
  Covers a variety of topics around Pokémon (mostly the mainline games), looking up obscure dialogue most players would miss, to answer questions most wouldn't even ask.
• Kleric
  Mostly uploads content about Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, although he made a few videos about Super Smash Bros Ultimate, as well. Shows glitches and challenges, and while he doesn't upload very often, he makes up for it by being hilarious when he does.
• Disable
  A very detailed look at the dialogue of Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, including a direct comparison of all dialogue changes between the original TTYD and its remake. Only three videos so far, but I hope there's more to come.

There's more channels I like to watch, but that should be enough for now. :'D
