5½ Hours of High Level Discussion of Kirby Air Riders Machines

A few days ago I linked to a nearly 10 hour documentary of the Gold Box computer D&D game Pool of Radiance. Maybe it’s something in the air, maybe it’s people desperately trying not to think about elections, but now there’s someone on Youtube talking for five-and-a-half hours of strategy for Kirby Air Riders. It’s been some time since I obsessed in detail about KARs (my acronym for the sequel, it’s KAR with a plural y’see) here. I haven’t had the chance to play much of it, but I still like watching other people play, and the player who made the video, Moip, doesn’t just rank highly in the competitive scene, but she has logged 2,485 hours in it. 2,485 hours! I think that’s more than I played Animal Crossing New Horizons! It’s more than I logged in Smash Ultimate when I was running experiments on amiibo, running the game overnight with CPU players beating each other up! Both of those figures are over 1,000 hours, I think, but they aren’t as much as that, and I had far longer to log…
