Happy to see Invidious instead of YouTube as the main link. :-) I also use Invidious, but mostly link YouTube directly still. Will swap it too next time (if I do not forget to). About the game itself, I did not play it so cannot say much.

Edit: Ah, I remember why I put YouTube links as the main source: a) sometimes the Invidious instances goes away, and b) here in the community if someone else posts the exact same link, then it will be listed as crosspost (I think, does it?), so it has its pros and cons.

yeah i got no way to watch this vid on my current computer. That might be because i’m on my work computer which has some web restrictions, but still. if this was on YT i’d be watchin right now.

Hmm that’s also a problem. At least the YouTube link is in the description here. I also always make sure to add a YouTube link, just for “backup” reasons.

Yes and on my phone / PC, YT links get auto-redirected to either FreeTube or NewPipe, so I am OK with YT links in posts.
