I don’t know what these would really be alternatives to, but I impatiently await every new game from Daniel Mullins Games. Inscryption was a fantastic deck builder and I more than got my monies worth out of it. I also follow Stranga Games pretty closely. Very small developer makes story focused retro style adventure games. No combat at all generally. So if you like a casual experience and that style of game, it might be something to look into.

Not sure which you are referring to, but they’ve both been around as creators on YouTube forever. They are both still actively making content. I’m not sure what memes you’re seeing, but maybe you’re just coming across communities with people that grew up watching this stuff more now. AVGN started in 2004 and Nostalgia Critic in 2007 so there’s a long history out there.

Content can be a little sparse at times. I’d rather be light on content rather than all the posts from archival bots archiving reddit posts. That’s stuff is annoying and no one ever comments in those.

Much appreciated. I don’t have an account on that platform and it seems to randomly decide to not let me view things without an account.

I think that it’s a little bit of don’t care and a little bit of that it’s a ton of work I think. It’s a lot of work if you actually use online services because they all want your data. You have to be very aware of every app and site that you visit. Changing settings, browser extensions, complex opt out methods. It’s more effort than a lot of people will make.
