I taught college writing and literature classes for several years, and a tendency I encountered over and over again in students' writing was a strain for over-formal style that needlessly convoluted their real arguments or interests. They used words and syntax they didn't understand, padded out their papers with repetitive elaboration, that kind of thing. It was never a problem with what they had to say; they just weren't confident enough in their ability to say it, so they reached for this bizarre pseudo-academic style that only got in their way. Then I'd meet with them and ask them to just tell me in casual terms what they were trying to say, and they'd just say it. Clearly, concisely, sometimes beatifully. 'Write THAT down!', I would say. And they would. And they got better. I think the TH-cam Affect (TM) that you're identifying here is a symptom of a similar problem. People who lack confidence in their ability to communicate effectively reach for some version of a style they associate with authority and only end up getting in their own way. The problem is probably amplified when anyone is reading from a script, if they lack confidence as both script writers and script performers. Call it TH-cam Affect Double Jeopardy. Anyway I wish they'd just say what they mean, in their own voice. All of that said, the start of this video was profoundly disturbing. So... Bravo? Please never do it again? I don't know. You're lucky, anyhow, that you have the skill and confidence to speak so resoundingly in your own voice! Whoever or whatever taught or enabled you to do that, spare a minute to be grateful for it.
Its a meme, theres a channel on youtube that does countdown lists and the dude speaks like that, so people try to replicate the way he talks as a joke. “Chills” is the channel if you’d like to hear it.
We all wrote like this because of paper requirements, if there were no page or word requirements and the only criteria was to make a valid argument or claim then everyone would write clear and concise. Its the schools/teachers fault why students have poor writing not the students, we all would have loved to not have to bullshit papers. I had to pad all my papers in hs because my ap lit teacher was aids and forget timed in class papers it was impossible for me get more than a page. I took the ap lit test for college credit just so i wouldnt fail the class. In college I disregarded the page and word count requirements and every time I got my paper back from the english professors they always commented on it not meeting the length requirement but still gave me a great grade because it was on point and after the first few papers they just didn't even care anymore because it was pointless to do so.
@@goldchris1111 for real. i would always look at the weight for page/word requirements and be like "bump that." nothing but 90s. There was one good teacher i had when it came to writing and she was an econ teacher in college. she gave us a prompts with all the info we need to research and put on it with a word limit; about less than a page, 3 paragraphs. it forced ppl to be concise and straightforward with the points, and while not being particularly hard, when i was done i realized i was close to the limit.
Well if you mfs didn't make us use a certain amount of words maybe it wouldn't sound like that huh. "Please write about blah blah in no less than 50,000 characters"
I love the lack of script in Saint's videos, really keeps you guessing. I understand scripts are never going away for some content, but it's really a more enjoyable experience to listen to when someone is just... talking rather than repeating something.
Can you imagine being a host, filled with confidence that you've been ganking this guy and certain you'll erase all of his existence just to call the elevator up and get chomped by a humongous dragon head? This shit is poetic
Oh the victimhood of you invaders is hilarious. Poor babies punching down on casuals easily yet you guys cry more than any other part of the souls community.
Level 80 is the BEST level for invasions. All the host are in that awkward stage of a half finished build, people are actually exploring the map, you can access every area of the game… truly the ideal level for ER
Build Timestamps: 01:53 Prisoner 8619 (lvl 81 Arcane hybrid caster) 06:35 Sentinel of Ruin (lvl 81 Pyro spellblade) 14:28 Glenn of Guardia (lvl 80 Sorcery spellblade/Frog) Not sure if this kind of thing helps or hurts when it comes to people harassing you for ThE nUmBeRs, but here they are.
Bro this is 1 of a kind of video. I havent laughed or enjoyed ur vids this much in a while. Hell idk if i even enjoyed any souls content this much after elden ring came out. I dub this vid my fav ER PvP vid so far!
Vaillant Gargoyles were so aids when the game launched and everyone was at that boss ~sl 40-50 most players would get smashed, and even if you had a decent host half the time the 2nd one wouldnt drop down so we had to use bows and it could still hit players with the roar attack and dodge the arrows so we'd just jump off the side and do the fight all over again with the chance of it soft locking again. The intro gave my mind a reset then it turned into pure annoyance :P holy hell that elevator chomp was amazing
man i been in the hospital all week with 103 fevers after a nasty spider bite turned big infection, got my knee sliced open in surgery yesterday and have been writhing since. i needed the laugh. cool build. heard you’re in tn? i’m an electrician with lee co, travel a lot across middle tn and wonder if i’ll ever bump shoulders with ya.
I have to say that you are by far my favorite pvp content creator. The entertainment value is immense, and I like that your videos also show what invasions at different rl/upgrade brackets are like. It helps greatly when I make my own builds for invasions. As for this particular video, these kinds are the very best, including some insanity and mocking of shitters/tryhards. The intro about the cringy average youtuber voice was also spot on. But now I can't get out of my head that most of them actually talk like that... Anyways, thanks for another great video, and I hope you keep them coming!
I was literally talking to my friend about how so many videos have people talking with that exact same inflection and how much i hate it a couple of weeks agi. Thank you saint. I glad im not the only person who noticed.
Y'know, back when the game first came out I watched a lot of Scott Jund, he said that the meta level should be 80. I think he was seriously onto something, and now look at you. LOOK. at YOU. there's a grub comin outta your hear, tough guy. Never leave.
They talk like that in the Youthtube videos because they're reading from a script and if you've ever been a zoomer and listened to a zoomer read out loud in a classroom full of zoomers this is what we zoomers sound like. This is what we are learning in our public schools in modern America
I’ve heard the strange internet accent that just appeared out of nowhere a few years ago as the “Modern Trans-Atlantic” accent and I think that’s pretty spot on
if you want my honest opinion i think it's about putting people to sleep and raking in autoplays. the algorithm essentially sorts for this because it generates more plays start to finish. the main thing i appreciate about your videos and i've said this from the start, is that the vast majority of ER videos are exactly like you're doing here in satire, or just like "guides" that are 30 minutes of "go here and get this, go here and get this"
"He's heating up!" I loved nba jam, one of my favorite games from the SNES. It actually got me playing basketball video games for a bit but none of them ever lived up to doing 50 front flips 20 feet in the air slamming down a dunk on the idiot computer.
Holy f*** that dragon hand incantation wrecked that Gargoyle. On my first playthrough I wound up switching to a mace because the greatsword I was using was barely doing any damage to them. Even then it was only a moderate improvement. If I'd known I could've just given them a couple of high fives I'd have hated that boss a lot less.
Ryan you said the build was level 80 BUT we can see CLEARLY in your STATS that it is level 81. CAUGHT and EXPOSED!!! Disliked, unsubscribed, and CANCELLED on TWITTER!!!!
I need a vid with the NBA Jam announcer guy edited in. "Did you see that rollcatch with Carian Greatsword? BOOMSHAKALAKA!" Also in this vid we found out Loser's Disease is as deadly as Winner's Disease.
I think the voice is a way to sound calm and reasonable so that people believe that you’re EPIC ELDEN RING ONE SHOT BUILD(broken against invaders!!!) is really the best
Sometimes I have to rewind Saint videos like I'm listening to a rap song for the first time to make sure that he just spit that bar that I thought he spit. 😤
I thought it was a video from saint and was happy for some pvp content, but saint doesn't do pve, so it's not him, it's someone posing as him. He doesn' even try to hide, his speak is too different from the original Saint riot that only does cute stuff in pvp! edit: nah, it's him alright, he just lost his mind again .
Guess he's not "Sane Ryan" anymore
now hes insane brian

"gankers are pedophiles" - Saint returning to his 2017 roots there on accident XD
Running down that dude with the chariot then turning around the camera with that timing and angle was beautiful cinematography Saint.
Thank you it was accidental but when I saw it I was like dang that's beautiful.
this was the video equivalent of a flashbang

saint is on the spectrum, that's how he can talk like that

5:50 And the last thing you hear is this 🤣

I'm glad saint's moving to a drama channel. Lord knows the game play videos were going nowhere.
Love you saint.😊
Level 80 is the BEST level for invasions. All the host are in that awkward stage of a half finished build, people are actually exploring the map, you can access every area of the game… truly the ideal level for ER
Might be an unpopular opinion but I truly think FromSoft games should have a level cap.

I honestly wish i could too.... legally i mean. Italy doesnt like Dewkissed Herba unfortunately.
The lost of all my sanity!
as soon as i saw the title i knew. this was going to be one of THOSE saint riot videos. 😂 love ya saint

The best saint riot videos are when I have no fuckin clue what he's talking about. It's like a fever dream with gameplay. The man is an artist

I loved seeing Frog sitting in the rafters doing war crimes 😂
Something about that was straight gold

My biggest issue with Gargoyle's is you always fight them on a huge hill and it's beyond annoying to try and navigate that and fight.

another amazing vid saint, i love your stream of consciousness it really cracks me up.
Don't ever change Saint. Best drama and build channel on youtube.
This is a level of discourse that I didn't think was even possible
saint successfully hitman'd my last three braincells during those first two minutes
I was literally talking to my friend about how so many videos have people talking with that exact same inflection and how much i hate it a couple of weeks agi. Thank you saint. I glad im not the only person who noticed.
The worse youtube voice is that, but also every sentence ends in an upward inflection as though they are asking a question, but it's all statements.
Y'know, back when the game first came out I watched a lot of Scott Jund, he said that the meta level should be 80. I think he was seriously onto something, and now look at you. LOOK. at YOU. there's a grub comin outta your hear, tough guy. Never leave.
😂😂 this was funny af, ngl. I love how it just ends with: "follow me on all the social media blah blah blah and on the water slide!"
"why is it popular to talk this way" it's called uptalk and now even guys are using it
You are the only Elden Ring/Soulsborne content creator I enjoy. Yer a funny feller, I'll tell you hwat. Keep doing what you does. Much love.
"I'll get better at it" please don't XD

"He's heating up!" I loved nba jam, one of my favorite games from the SNES. It actually got me playing basketball video games for a bit but none of them ever lived up to doing 50 front flips 20 feet in the air slamming down a dunk on the idiot computer.
Almost thought I clicked the wrong video with that voice
"You put the wrong emphaasis on the wrong syllaable".
Holy f*** that dragon hand incantation wrecked that Gargoyle.
On my first playthrough I wound up switching to a mace because the greatsword I was using was barely doing any damage to them. Even then it was only a moderate improvement.
If I'd known I could've just given them a couple of high fives I'd have hated that boss a lot less.

I sent that Baby Jesus rant to my wife, that shit was priceless
Sain Ryan has a manic episode
Very immersive. This is the kind of tone I'd expect from someone trying to sell me a RoB back last year.

HE'S ON FIRE!!
I dont know if the bit at 4:54 was intentional or not, but it had me dying either way hahaha
