i agree with Debaucus. the way Ben's Backpack does it is really nice because he basically just cuts out the silence and the monotonous organizing. no information lost, just the awkward silent bits between buying your last item and pressing start battle

I think overall everyone is on team moderate. But may I suggest another middleground? Moderate overall, but just fast forwarding* actual organizing parts, maybe talking over it or however comfortable for you. Edit** slightly for clarity.

The current pace of the videos is great as-is, but if I had to nitpick one thing it would be the long reorganizing times. Suggestion: don't skip them altogether, but fast forward through them a bit. That way it makes the more "boring" parts of the video shorter while still giving the viewer some insight on how to organize and where your thought process is.

Play how you want to play for that game! Remember it can all be sorted in post! If you spend an hour sorting the bag, speed it up to 2 mins and then continue the commentary. I wouldn't overdo the focus on 'video must be x length' because every game is different. Personal note: I find a game with less/no mistakes more entertaining, so if someone rushes though and makes a few rather than focus its like NOOOO, but commentating and playing and thinking hard about the game is a lot to juggle

Even if you go slow just add time stumps to skip the lengthy analysis . I think 30 minutes videos are just perfectly balanced and not as boring as 40 minutes long.

Derrick Dice
Hello everyone! I'm at a bit of a crossroads when it comes to my Backpack Battles content between speed and thoroughness.
To be clear, between these options I am still not going to go absolutely insanely slow or fast. It'll still be good old Derrick Dice gameplay, moreso what I'm prioritizing with my commentary. It's never going to be like, TikTok MLG 360 noscope compilations or anything, and I won't get to HBomberGuy levels of thoroughness either.
A big part of the length of videos is going to be me thinking idly and me reorganizing, which I see as the main things to "cut" for me to shorten my videos a bit. I'm going to be cutting out idle thinking time no matter what, and I'll always be going into my thought process to some extent.
